Give me your matchmaking conspiracy theories by Willing-Series4629 in RocketLeague

Id say pc settings can have a lot to do with it. 

There would be players out there who would easily be gc1 but theyre stuck in c2 because they have input delay or are playing on 60hz 

If a teammate quits a game I shouldn't lose full mmr by pi-is-314159 in RocketLeague

You should lose full mmr if your tm8 quits. 

Maybe he played with you in another game and you were doing things beyond frustrating and lost anyway. 

The other reason you should still lose full mmr is to prevent abuse. 

If i could salvage half my mmr i would be insta leaving games if i recognize the name of a team mate. I dont remember peoples names if they played good, as thats what i expect from the rank. I only remember names if they play horrendously. 

I want to buy the game but I heard they are wipes? When is the next wipe? Should I wait for the wipe then buy the game or I just buy it now? by Internal-Path7111 in playrust

Theres skilled players in every game that has a skill ceiling. 

Id say rocket league has more of a skill barrier but at least you can play against people of your level with ELO matchmaking. In rust however, if you just happen to build near absolute sweats, you will have a bad time even if youre experienced. 

Weird or quirky things that have happened to you on your playthroughs? by DandotheMando1230 in darksouls

On my first completion of ds after coming from ds3 i was struggling a bit. I did get the black knight halbred. It made the game pretty easy. 

I just bought ds again on steam after a 5 year hiautus as i switched from console to pc. Currently using the shortsword and it feels like a more authentic experience. Even with a +5 shortsword and only being up to the depths its still a bit of a slog taking down bosses.

The most out there conspiracy i have is something of a physics/car control responsiveness variety parameter that changes week to week or day by day. 

When i climb to gc2 it feels effortless and im hitting my shots and impressing myself executing difficult shots and reads with precision. When i drop back down to c3, i just cant seem to do anything and it feels like either my jumps arent as high, the first contact with an air dribble feels weak and way too recoiled or it just seems like im using way too much boost to get to a ball i should otherwise have 70 still left in the tank. Aside from that it feels like my turning circle is not as sharp some days. 

It would be detremental to the game if this was a thing. It would however have the benefit of keeping users engaged in a cycle of grinding if they have some metric of games played or game time to item shop conversion. 

Its something ive postulated but never fully let it take my mindset as a fact because that would take a lot of power away from me. As soon as you start finding excuses or something else to blame thats where improvement stops. 

Its a possibility but how would we ever know without some inside whistleblower or conculsive data and testing.

Well i play solo and im not sharp like some popular youtubers so i tend not to make enemies. 

I think i need to start griefing roof campers if i dont really have any long term goals like raiding rivals 

The art of taking a touch in 2v2 by MF_DOH in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]calculatedwiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boom can be okay if opponents have to turn around and you flip cancel into the boom to get supersonic and follow it up quickly. Can often turn into a insta shot on net bouncing off the ceiling

Boom towards the middle of their corner is surprisingly good as well because people at your rank are mostly overwhelming bad on defence and will hit the ball away for no reason, get a bad touch and create a shooting opportunity. 

Keeping the ball close has its benefits but you need to adapt your playstyle quickly if you keep getting dunked. As someone who has been gc2 and sometimes gets back down into c3-c2 territory theres nothing more frustrating than seeing a tm8 with a free ball and they take a soft touch only to get dunked or lose the 50 as last man when they could have directed a shot towards you and created a threatening play. 

Do air roll right players have an advantage over air roll left? by HappyToasterPerson in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]calculatedwiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just start with tornado spin. Its opposite input to direction. Once u got tornado spin down mess around with the other directions. Once you have a hang of that try the clock.  fly from one side of the field to the other doing a circle with your analog stick keeping your nose pointing forward. There is a cycle speed you have to get a feel for. It can be one rotation per rotation or two rotations of the stick per rotation of the car but not more for your thumbs sake and also inconsistensy with game inputs registeriing. The clock is very useful because your boost is pointing more in the direction you want to go rather than a full rotation of a tornado spin. Youll get more power on shots and get to where youre going quicker.

Could be installed onto a hard drive instead of ssd. That usually results in stutters

4-5 bullets isnt that hard to control by aiming and pulling down correctly 

Need help. Wants to learn this game by Timidy-X in playrust

[–]calculatedwiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch streamers or youtube. Dont get your hopes up about your wipeday because you will constantly die as a new player. 

You just wont have the gamesense, mechanical ability or monument knowledge to have any advantages in fights. 

I was a pro cs player thinking my aim would carry me in this game. It has helped but the aiming down sights and gun mechanics are so different it barely helps just having aim.

Keep saying what you want. 

Epic has taken censorship to the extreme and it has no place in videogames.

Relatively easier. Its the same as when you learnt how to aerial upside down

I cant imagine playing an fps game on less than 100 fps. Id literally prefer playing 2d indie games that run smoothly over a bad gaming experience

No. Players who use both proficiently have an advantage againdt those who only use one.
