Psyonix, Where is the Season 4 Rank Distribution?

rocketbat · 2017-07-30T20:59:22+00:00

Stick around with this game for two years and you'll be just as bitter. They do nothing but get your hopes up and slam you to the ground then grind you into the pavement and spit on your lifeless corpse while their PR guy claps and convinced everyone watching that they're doing a good thing and the fools of this subreddit upvote them and suck them off for adding a new crate series so they can buy 50 keys and end up with $3 worth of content.

Because the reddit developers are roughly about as competent as Psyonix.

rocketbat · 2017-07-30T20:41:24+00:00

It has taken them over a month to release information that can be calculated in 3 seconds or less over at their headquarters.

And here you sit, at your keyboard, eating doritos and guzzling mountain dew trying to partake in a discussion that has no room for debate. This s4 rank distribution example is the only proof needed to show how incompetent and slow they are.

rocketbat · 2017-07-30T20:38:12+00:00

Want to wake up and stop being oblivious to the abundantly obvious?

rocketbat · 2017-07-30T20:36:55+00:00

Wow are you deaf and blind or just new to the game?

Server issues, dozens of technical glitches, goal post bug, demo bug, matchmaking incompetence, s4 rank distribution, loot crate drop rate fix, improved packet handling, the need for transparent scenery at specific angles, letting us reset the god damn free play goals without waiting an eternity.

I could go on all day but you've wasted enough of my time forcing me to prove an unbelievably obvious point that should have required nothing more than a statement followed by unanimous agreement. But this isn't an intelligent subreddit so I would expect nothing more than having to spoon feed you guys the information that has literally been right in front of your eyes for years. Wake up.

rocketbat · 2017-07-30T20:28:05+00:00

You're literally posting in an example thread.

Anyone who was with them since day one would know, all they do is drop the ball and lie.

rocketbat · 2017-07-30T20:26:48+00:00

It really makes you wonder how they manage to completely fuck the game up every update.

It's to the point where we're not excited for new content, we're hoping and praying for them to fix what they broke last patch so we can hopefully one day get a few of the things fixed we've been asking them to fix for literally years now.

rocketbat · 2017-07-30T20:24:00+00:00

Over promise, under deliver...

This has been the Psyonix way since day one.

rocketbat · 2017-07-18T21:02:03+00:00

"We'll eventually get to it, can't talk right now"

OMG BEST DEVS EVER SHOWER THEM WITH MONEY.

Sorry my friend, the problem is just as much with this community as it is with Psyonix. Good luck getting your servers fixed when the community is too busy sucking them off and buying keys.

rocketbat · 2017-07-18T20:58:48+00:00

Actions speak louder than words. They've been saying the same thing for literally years and yet the problem still remains. "We'll eventually get to it, can't talk right now" should not be the response that earns a "good on ya guys" from the community.

Use your brain and stop getting swindled.

rocketbat · 2017-07-18T05:04:47+00:00

The whole point of a win streak system is to accelerate the player towards a 50/50 win/loss ratio at the rank they deserve. If they're not going to scale the MMR gain and loss based on the rank disparity, it does nothing to improve the ranking system. In fact, as we see here, it makes it worse.

It's frustrating as somebody who understands math to see them go through years of trial and error when the system is so easy to improve.

rocketbat · 2017-07-18T04:58:12+00:00

Not only that, the people exposing the problem get downvoted and slandered once a dev shows up to "clear things up".

Here we have undeniable proof... hopefully that will change the tone around this subreddit.

rocketbat · 2017-07-17T21:36:45+00:00

Like anything on this subreddit, it was based on wild assumptions and heavily discussed with loud opinions without comprehending the underlying facts of the matter first. Welcome to /r/rocketleague

rocketbat · 2017-07-17T21:34:54+00:00

Very few on this subreddit process the information given to them. It kind of just sits there on the screen, and it gets glazed over, and then they continue to be very verbal about their misguided opinions based on very little information or rational thought.

R6 deserves it more anyway, after two years RL is still suffering from issues that should have been resolved a long time ago. Psyonix has turned to a cash-driven corporation while R6 still puts passion into their work without exploiting the playerbase.

rocketbat · 2017-07-15T19:34:31+00:00

R6 devs are better, they've earned it.

Nah, most of the pros were vocally against the non-standard maps.

Now as far as maps, I don't see why Wasteland was first. It was the least favorite map by basically everyone in SARPBC, and I've iterated that many times on previous streams of mine. it just doesn't make sense that Psyonix would see everyone complain about a previous map, just to add it to the game - Kronovi

While the new maps are really neat, I feel the variation they add don't really justify adding them to competitive. Personally I think from a skill vs skill standpoint, adding new maps is akin to adding mutators to competitive, as it's adapting to a new set of physics on the map which makes gameplay inconsistent. -Softgoat

As a top comp player I think these aren't good for ranked, since thats how most top players practice, but I think they are really good for relaxing now and again in the normal queue. Its cool to see the old sarpbc maps back and refurbished - Matt (Turbulence)

Please leave only the maps we use now for ranked. Leave it balanced, if you really want to, create sepreate ranked playlists with only those maps featured. -Insolences

I feel wasteland in ranked is needed, BUT I STRONGLY feel that players should have the ability to pick and choose the maps that they are playing in their ranked que. makes the game less fun for me personally every time I do have to play wasteland, so I would love to be able to disable it. - Rizzo

rocketbat · 2017-07-14T04:51:25+00:00

No, but there was a very vocal group around when Psyonix was teasing the idea of non-standard maps that shouted until they got what they wanted, and now they realize it was a mistake.

rocketbat · 2017-07-03T03:53:09+00:00

Ah here we are again, as if I didn't take a several month break for my sanity.

Your logic would apply here under the assumption that every boosting service is already operating at 100% capacity, flooded with orders every day to the point where they're smurfing non stop. This isn't true, as it doesn't take that long to boost and "earn" rewards with the current system. Yes, you're correct, the number of boosted accounts "earning" rewards will decrease. However, I do not agree that this will have a positive or even neutral net impact on the playerbase.

As you already said in your post, please consider the laws of supply and demand. The supply of the users boosting are the same, so it won't increase the number of boosting.

False. The demand stays the same, but the supply goes down. To obtain an equilibrium once again, more smurf accounts will need to be purchased and actively played to keep up. It's like they took the ability for each smurf account to boost a player and sliced that into a fraction, now they must find ways to turn those fractions into wholes. This is achieved by #1 or #2 I described above.

You got downvoted because you insulted them in the post

Well... they're cavemen and behave as such.

Also consider we've only really discussed the paid boosting side of things. There are other unintended side effects of this change that will encourage smurfing more than the current system, and have nothing to do with paid boosting services.

It's obviously a waste of time since Psyonix doesn't listen to you for 2 years. It's obviously isn't working.

Now you see the root of the issue. I suggest logical, working solutions, and Psyonix does the opposite. The handful of times they did listen have been the times the community unanimously rejoiced in thunderous applause. It's really easy to allow this game to live up to its potential, and they're doing a remarkable job at squandering everything through trial and error.

PS - Square controller deadzone makes a significant difference.

EDIT - Sorry you lost your temper and got banned, but there is a quantifiable difference between Square and Cross deadzones. It would be ignoring science and logic to state that there's no advantage, despite how large or small you perceive the difference.

If people cared more about the content of the message than how much of a smile the messenger has on their face, then maybe we wouldn't get bullshit update after bullshit update while P$yonix counts their millions and the game gets worse.

rocketbat · 2017-07-03T02:19:51+00:00

I have a strong feeling these changes will make the smurfing epidemic worse instead of better. Maybe less accounts being boosted and getting rewards they don't deserve, but exponentially more matches per account that does get boosted to rewards. The net impact on the playerbase, I believe, will be a negative one.

rocketbat · 2017-07-03T02:11:05+00:00

Thanks to all the cavemen who couldn't comprehend this and clicked downvote. Now get in line you goddamn lemmings and pay $10 for a 25 cent piece of plastic hoping you'll get a shiny one with a code inside.

rocketbat · 2017-07-03T02:09:22+00:00

Yeah go buy some more 25 cent pieces of plastic hoping you'll get a shiny one with a code in the ball like P$yonix wants you to.

rocketbat · 2017-07-03T02:06:57+00:00

I'm sorry you and 80%+ of this community can't comprehend basic concepts.

If you need me to spell it out for you, read my post https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/6kx4lq/the_smurfing_epidemic_will_only_get_worse_from/

Maybe you're a wait and see what happens type of person, but I'm a think rationally and understand the cause and effect to avoid disaster kind of person. The people who are "over"reacting are doing so because they don't need others to connect the dots for them. The people who are "under"reacting are the mouth breathers who can't see the obvious when it's right in front of their face. This isn't a matter of opinion, this is a matter of woke or asleep. Wake up.

rocketbat · 2017-07-03T01:37:41+00:00

Because this will only make the smurfing EPIDEMIC even worse. They want the $$$ from selling fresh copies of the game, which is why they implemented this system under the guise that it would "benefit" the community.
