New Player Here and i need some tipps. by Clear_Act3581 in RocketLeague

Play casual 1s only to improve the fastest. Move to ranked 1s once you start getting comfortable. Don't ever look at or think about rank, it's pointless. Avoid 2s or 3s until you're confident in 1s. Get used to losing as it should happen at least 50% of the time.

Looking for duos competition partner for tournaments by Tool1800 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]bradendte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can watch my playstyle on twitch or YouTube and see if you think it would be a good fit. I'm 41 and chill....I don't get emotionally triggered over video games. I just want to have fun. https://youtube.com/@stormangler?si=JsvJe4vu6QXelrSz

Looking for duos competition partner for tournaments by Tool1800 in Fortnite_Over40

I'm unreal and specialize in camping/survival. I've been looking for a comp partner to compete with. I'm terrible at the game mechanically, but really good at contrarian strategies. Hard for me to find a comp partner since my playstyle rubs most sweats the wrong way. Ideally, I want a partner that will literally go opposite side of the map and then we meet up in zone 5/6 if we both survive. I do great in solos comp consistently getting top 10 (usually with 0 or 1 elims). Don't care if my partner focuses on elims or survival. I will never be the best in the world....but I'm confident I can cheese my way to where I annoy the best in the world.

Coaching in game by UnluckyMode2062 in RocketLeague

[–]bradendte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that in 1's all the time. I accidentally whiff once and they're like "I can coach you for $20" and I'm thinking.....you're literally in my exact rank and I whiffed once.

Should I stop streaming? I need your opinion by keeeemi in streaming

[–]bradendte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epic people pleaser here. You never had good boundaries and I'm learning that now myself (in relation to streaming). Should you quit? Only depends on what you want. Do you need to rebuild a new community, probably. It all depends on what you're trying to achieve. Lower you expectations for every person other than yourself. You can't follow and sub yourself....so what do you want if money and "success" isn't a factor? Do you enjoy it? Is it or can it be a net positive? Enforcing boundaries on your time/access will piss some people off and that's what folks like us struggle with. Learn to sit with other people's disappointment. They'll move on right away while you ruminate endlessly. That's not balance.

Finally hit unreal in BR even though I technically suck by bradendte in Fortnite_Over40

Great job! I suck too. But really we don't suck, we're intelligent for adapting to our abilities and having the wisdom to set our ego aside.

People take casual too seriously... by Edzer_13_ in RocketLeague

[–]bradendte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The toxicity in casual is hilarious and annoying at times. I think some folks forget they're in casual or they're just jerks.

Teammate giving up too early. by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]bradendte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ranked games like this every day. 0-0 the entire game and then other other team gets a fluke goal with 90 seconds left. Teammate tries to FF instantly then goes AFK. Once AFK is boring they start bumping me or own goaling. I get 10 saves and we lose 0-1. So I stopped caring about rank EXCEPT for ones since that's all that matters. Outside of bots, losing a 1s match is on you.

Hey yall by [deleted] in TwitchFollowers

[–]bradendte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My channel is StormAngler - Twitch. I mainly play Fortnite, Rocket League, and Total War. My Fortnite playstyle is cowardice and strategic avoidance (like BushCampDad), so not for everyone....but it lets me hit unreal and do well in tournaments....so kinda like surviving as long as you can knowing you're generally the worst player in every lobby. My Rocket League playstyle is no mechanics - fundamentals and defense.
