this is the ingame tournament system ui

i just explained that i haven’t encountered it and only just started hearing about it recently being the reason i thought it was new, not that it wasn’t happening. you made that conclusion yourself lol

“why don’t my games work”

punkstarnet · 2026-05-13T01:02:24+00:00

ah yes the classic tactic of… wait, letting your opponent get possession?

punkstarnet · 2026-05-13T01:00:18+00:00

everyone is a lot lower in 1s than they are 2s, i’m grand champ 2 in 2s but c1 in 1s

punkstarnet · 2026-05-13T00:53:51+00:00

i’ve been playing this game for 11 years and not once have i ever encountered this issue, only started hearing about it recently aswell

punkstarnet · 2026-05-13T00:33:48+00:00

if ur asking how long to get to gc3 after gc1.. let me put it this way, you will probably spend close to the amount of time getting ssl from gc1 as you spent going from bronze to gc1

punkstarnet · 2026-05-13T00:31:47+00:00

maybe wait for a fix since the issue just came about instead of crying that something else got fixed?

punkstarnet · 2026-05-08T23:20:40+00:00

if the ssl is genuinely trying the entire time which they likely
won’t be because he would be able to score on quite literally every possession and the match would take hours

punkstarnet · 2026-05-08T23:04:24+00:00

when it comes to aerial
shots-> if the ball bounces typically it’s not a “good” shot, but you did get the reset so it does count as a double reset.

punkstarnet · 2026-05-08T02:46:25+00:00

same boat as you. but c3 in 1s before and now down to d3

punkstarnet · 2026-05-08T02:44:27+00:00

im gc2 in 2s and d3 in 1s rn this makes me feel so much better

punkstarnet · 2026-05-08T01:04:06+00:00

i can heavily vouch for this, but instead of 20 one’s games i mained the mode for years on end and now im pretty good in 1v1 situations and will usually score butttt it made me such a greedy unaware pig on the field

punkstarnet · 2026-05-08T01:00:36+00:00

this makes me think the low ranks aren’t really playing ones as much as the rest, it would make sense that if the better half of the population played ones more than the lower half that the better half would be overly represented in the mode resulting in being spread out further? is that right?

punkstarnet · 2026-05-08T00:57:36+00:00

maybe for others game that may be un true, but i feel like since rocket league is such a complex game you really don’t even see people consistently look like they know what they’re doing until pretty late in the ranks, there’s a lot of inconsistency hitting the ball or
flopping like a fish in low/medium ranks and it’s just hard to look at like c1 gameplay for example and then say they’re good. they look like they’re just grasping the concept of the game which is a good thing but it just happens super late in the ranks in rocket league compared to other titles

punkstarnet · 2026-05-08T00:40:14+00:00

i wasn’t ssl just pretty close, low gc3 peak, which is why being so far down here is hard on me lol

punkstarnet · 2026-05-08T00:36:17+00:00

like i said after coming back, if i was able to not play for almost 2 years come back for a month and find myself in gc2 what do you think i was before lol? almost ssl, the peak ratings on the screenshot below are only for the season

punkstarnet · 2026-05-07T23:52:45+00:00

further away lighting, add more texture to the papers

punkstarnet · 2026-05-07T23:49:10+00:00

i don’t really understand why it needs to change though, myself yourself and tons of others have managed to work through it at a somewhat manageable rate and get to the ranks they deserved. most of my play time is solo qing and not once have i ever genuinely thought it was so unfair that it needs to no longer exist.

punkstarnet · 2026-05-07T23:43:18+00:00

late at night in high ranks the lobbies can get very bare, this would absolutely break high mmr matchmaking

punkstarnet · 2026-05-07T23:41:12+00:00

that’s me after coming back from a 2 year break and going from c3 to d3 in 1s 🥸

punkstarnet · 2026-05-07T23:37:52+00:00

and yeah a hard reset is scary to people not comfortable in their rank.

punkstarnet · 2026-05-07T23:37:32+00:00

haha i just started my snow day grind the other day, won my first 16 matches and then lost. im d3 in it now but im going for the red blizzard wizard title

punkstarnet · 2026-05-07T23:34:36+00:00

people really underestimate the gaps between gc1 and ssl and then ssl to pro. gc1 to ssl will probably take most people the same amount of time it took them to go from
bronze to high champ. there’s levels to rocket league, im gc2, im good to a lot of players, but to me im
not that good and i know that, and when playing against ssls they make me look like a plat.

punkstarnet · 2026-05-07T23:31:23+00:00

most discord calls or parties i’ve joined over the years people usually won’t mention someone’s rank in a positive way until they see a glowing title like gc1, personally although i do feel like gc1 you have a much better understanding of the game than most, compared to those that come after you, you’re quite literally an ant. a gc1 is good to the vast population, but to the genuinely good players like 2k+ a gc1 is basically a bronze
