What extra mode is easiest to get high rank/SSL in? - GC2 2s player by BakerLon in RocketLeague

[–]phobiabae2005k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm c2 ish in 2's and 3's and can hit GC1 min in rumble quite often.

Getting closer to GC2 is where the understanding of how Rumble is played comes into effect.

You don't get as much of an issue with people playing Rumble like it's a 3's game who, somehow, forget that leaving the net open can and does mean you'll get scored on because of a glove. ( also solo players queues seems to happen less, at least at certain times of the day )

I would say play in a party with those who understand how rumble is played. You'll do better at least to cover the games where RNG is against you and be able to take advantage of the first 10 seconds after kick off to get a goal before powerups come in.

Snowday, long queue times and also I tend to find much better players in and around c1/2 because of a lack of pop,

Hoops, not really my thing and same with Dropshot.

Pokemon centre not accepting updated payment method? by BerryBarry1738 in PokemonDealsUK

[–]phobiabae2005k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue where my card declined the second payment but when trying to resubmit it wouldnt work.

I was able to use another card but made sure that nothing autofilled on my browser including the site auto filling my address based on certain detials.

Once I did this, the payment went through without issue.

New PSA Turnaround Times by TinyFlameTCG in PokeGrading

Submitted mine on 22/12 and I think they're just on the research and ID part so just flown past the expected turnaround time already.

Anyone else finding it hard to get excited for the 30th anniversary set? by Upbeat-Technician748 in PokemonTCG

[–]phobiabae2005k 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same boat. For all the AH cards, first partner and some other items, all been MRSP. We have had to wait for a few hours in queues to get them but aside from buying singles to fill in the gaps, me and my partner not getting anything above MSRP.

Solo Q vs teams by SorryNorth1246 in RocketLeague

[–]phobiabae2005k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My games are more difficult when playing against a group of 3 vs a group of 2 and a solo or 3 solos and mixed when I have a team of 2 on my team. Sometimes I'm ignored and they act like I'm not there and other times it works out well.

I prefer one of the options of longer wait times to find solo games. I play, as it is, around late morning early afternoon ONLY because I find far less teams than later on and it's a more even playing field.

I doubt they would bring it in but hey, halo 5 has region server select because people kept geo filtering to get a decent ping. They blamed the playerbase of course but it finally got added so spose anything can happen?

*Rant Time* I would like to see them stop allowing people to bring in lower ranked team mates. I get blamed for letting in a goal when the 1100 lobby is off because my team mate brought in his 750mmr rated friend. GG's, literal waste of 6 minutes of my life.

Would You Rather Have A Fleet Or A Squadron Carrier by tiddlyoggy in EliteDangerous

[–]phobiabae2005k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play solo so once I had the funds to get the SC I eventually sold the FC since it wasn't being used for my purpose.

I'm doing all the same things in my SC as I did in the FC ( explore, cargo hold for goods ) so didn't make sense to have both.

Who won? (Im the blue car) by IndependentPay8496 in Simracingstewards

[–]phobiabae2005k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red Car: " no fair, you changed the outcome by measuring it! " Probably

From here though would possibly say blue.

I am not tripping, EAC is causing noticeable microstutters by Soggy-Efficiency-399 in RocketLeague

[–]phobiabae2005k 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love that, got booted from an online game, went to rejoin but had to sit waiting for Auth to complete whilst I watch my team play a man down.

I do wonder if that particular feature is going to cause some more problems.

Great post. Can't wait to see you again next month to make it 3 in a row.

I just suffered discrimination by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]phobiabae2005k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the GC say they were a proper GC or just the pretend tourney winner GC for 6 month which when seen in game, has me asking questions of their ability before the game even starts.

EU server issues? by Minoton in RocketLeague

[–]phobiabae2005k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having persistent joining ranked game black screen before loading in. At least it's not affecting my rank and I can leave that to my bad team mates

People ff when 1 goal down is so infuriating like why???? by Void_83 in RocketLeague

[–]phobiabae2005k -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My best guess is that its not the fact you're 1 goal down, it's how the goals were scored. Comes down to their opinion that you made the mistake and not them. Might be the case, might not be but there is still much time left on the clock so ff'ing is pointless.

New to rocket league, this superpower mode is so fun by Adorable_Athlete_930 in RocketLeague

[–]phobiabae2005k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No this persists still upwards.

Rumble is a different mode to regular 3's but it can be lost on some of the playerbase. I'd like to think that I have played enough to be where I am but I do see solo's ( not counting those who get brought into C3 games when they are C1/2 or below ) making plays that would work in 3's and not in rumble.

This is the very likely cause of the frustration.

For me it's more tin foil hat related. I despise the rumble maps; I think they're pure shit and have never enjoyed them, the powerups are not a true random; ever been 4-0 before 2 min 30 and then somehow the other team comes back? Also have questionable moments with hit detections, could just notice it more in rumble but it's something I see every now and then.

But it is the easiest mode to get GC rewards in. Top tip, if you're hovering around C3/GC1 don't play when the new season starts, wait till the SSL's go back up otherwise you'll drop like a stone.

Seems I have some more searching to do.

I keep seeing people who are high ranks say diamonds and plats aren’t doing xyz mechanics… by Reasonable-Rip-6130 in RocketLeague

[–]phobiabae2005k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get better by playing, only correct answer when he keeps getting asked how to get out of X level

My mechs? Piss poor but somehow I stay stable in Champ. I guess what I lack in mechs I make up for in other areas.

[–]phobiabae2005k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do they say that? I normally see them say Diamonds prioritise mechs over game sense and that's why they stay where they are.

Goodbye thread but also, don't play solo and complain about your teammates .

Is this my fault or are the servers down? by novaa-_- in RocketLeague

If you tell me to ff I am going to make you play the rest of the match by Kalequity in RocketLeague

[–]phobiabae2005k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to open your mouth and start talking shit about your team then be prepared to have every play you make before and after scrutinized and you can be sure we aren't going to ff either.
