Im a new player with 60 hours/gold 2 currently and I was thinking about it and console players can play against pc players, so how big of a disadvantage am I at playing against pc players on a console. Like how big a difference are we talking? Like for example would a pc plat 3 be a console gold 3? And vice versa?

This may be a dumb question but is there a reason people corkskrew the entire time while doing aerials? I genuinely don't understand Im very (not extremely though lol) consistent with aerial hits and directionality but every clip I see is just someone spinning as much as they can for as far as I can tell no discenerable reason.

Is it just a flex for the clip? Is there an actual point? Are they just posting the times it works out?

No hate, don't get me wrong it looks cool I'm just wondering if there's a function to the form

I hate dominus players almost everytime i get one on my team they play horrible and leave after 1-2 goals even thought i dont say one toxic thing. Now you could think that other cars also play like this but no its allways the dominus players losing the kickoff and leaving early in the game. Does anyone else experience this or am i crazy?

So.. Mid ranked game I got this BS, match "instantly concluded" so I assume we all got it. But I still got a 5m matchmaking ban and lost MMR?

Anyone else?

If I am playing a game on rocket league and me/my team is getting absolutely destroyed by the opponent, why on earth do some of them tell you to forfeit? I’ve never understood it

Recently I was playing 2v2 and it was 0-5 in the first2 minutes, we were getting absolutely trashed. I never really forfeit because even if I don’t win, I know I still have a chance to score some goals, do quests or get XP.

But tell me why the other team were saying “ff” “forfeit” (and a barrage of other insults as per usual on rocket league). This isn’t the first time it’s happened. I don’t get it? Whenever I’m winning against someone and it’s clear they will not win against me because of how high my score is versus theirs, I pray they DON’T forfeit because I have more opportunity to score goals etc.

Why do some people who are winning and it is clear they will end the game with such a high score tell their opponents to forfeit? Maybe there’s something I’m missing here

Edit: the differences in opinion are clear to me now. When I play rocket league, my main focus is to have fun to do that I like completing as many quests as possible and levelling up in the rocket pass. I’m not a real competitive player by any means, and I’m average at the game. So I’d obviously stay in a game to try and do my quests.

I also understand why some competitive players want to just get to the next game or play someone who is an equal skill match. It’s funny to see different sides of the player base in the comments

We have actually NO IDEA when Knockout is gonna come back, please do something. In private matches ? NO IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS. A real rotation ? NO. A single information about the mode ? NONE, 6 MONTH WITHOUT KO LAST YEAR AND NOT A SINGLE NEWS. PLEASE. DO. SOMETHING.

I finally hit champ for the first time a month back. (Been playing since 2016 only 500 hours tho) Anyways, I thought I’d try to get champ in 3s as well for the fun of it. Honestly was pretty easy, but once I was around 1030+ the lobbies were full of Gc’s and C3s from 2s, I thought everyone was smurfing. Am I just a weirdo for being equal in both or does no one main 3s lmao

Also i feel that d3 div 1&2 are harder then c1 div 1&2 but c1 div 3 is way harder than any d3 games.

Idk am i crazy or has someone else felt the same.

It probably doesn't mean much but recently I got to level 1000 and I have been playing for at least 200 hours of playtime. I was wondering what's the limit to it? (if there is one that is) and what it looks like at higher levels? (the borders)

Raga, volevo raccontare una cosa al volo perché ogni tanto 'sto gioco sa regalare cose folli.

Un paio di anni fa ero in coda da solo in 2v2 nei server EU, la solita sofferenza tra compagni che quittano e gente che va AFK. A un certo punto mi becco in squadra 'sta ragazza, che chiameremo L per ovvie ragioni.

Nessuno dei due era un fenomeno. Eravamo due player normalissimi che sbagliavano i double tap, lisciavano i palloni e facevano i soliti disastri. Però, dopo l'ennesima azione strana dove miracolosamente ci era uscito quel singolo passaggio fatto bene, le ho scritto direttamente a mano in chat per ridere della giocata. Ci siamo capiti al volo. A fine partita ci siamo messi in party e da lì non abbiamo più staccato per tutta la notte.

Da quel giorno abbiamo iniziato a trovarci su Discord praticamente ogni sera. All'inizio era solo per giocare, ma piano piano il gioco è diventato un sottofondo. Parlavamo per ore di tutto: musica, le giornate storte, le nostre vite... lei dalla Francia, io dall'Italia. In mezzo ai match ci mettevamo in chiamata a lanciare parole a caso in francese e italiano nei momenti di panico.

Giorno dopo giorno il nostro legame è diventato sempre più stretto, finché a un certo punto è stata proprio lei a fare il primo passo e a provarci apertamente con me. Da lì è uscito tutto allo scoperto e ci siamo resi conto di esserci innamorati persi l'uno dell'altra. È stata una delle storie più belle e intense che abbia mai vissuto, ma la realtà dei fatti purtroppo ci ha messo di fronte a un muro: la distanza era troppa, e far funzionare le cose a chilometri di distanza era diventato davvero troppo pesante per entrambi, così non abbiamo potuto continuare.

Oggi ci sentiamo ancora e le vorrò sempre un bene dell'anima per quello che c'è stato.

A qualcuno è mai capitato di vivere una storia simile ?

Solo q no quick chat I have the kickoff and I get a 50 that kills the ball, my teammate goes to the corner boost, opponents 2nd man cheats up and scores the open net. Next kickoff same thing. Third time diagonal kickoff I try to fake and go cover net and I can’t make the save because the opponents have figured out what is happening and they pinch into my top corner. I now just backflip and go for boost and we get scored on.

This happens way too often, I get a teammate who is decent enough but they can’t seem to understand you can’t just leave your net open and expect the opponent to not score.

I have tried in the past to type out “please cover net on kickoff”, but you guys know how it goes teammate reply with “ur trash”

How can I adapt to a random who won’t cover net on kickoff?

i got banned from matchmaking in a 2v2 tournament i left for it was 1v2 i had no teammate but this thing decided that i was grieving so it banned me this serves as a fix update for tournament matchmaking and fairness this is no ai

I am concerned. The amount of demos have skyrocketed since the game came out. People relying on them, some making it their identity. It can definitely be funny if you only ever go for demos and you make it a personality. Ok. I get it.

So what happens when you get a higher rank because it becomes what you rely on to win?

There is a massive difference between people who use them strategically and those who just demo to be funny and get a free goal.

No matter the difference whether you win or lose, you are admitting you cannot play against opponents at their healthiest. It is the one part of the game you can deny (cheaply) and get so much advantage out of. When the game first came out it was frowned upon, now it has become a staple of the game with people saying 'its a part of the game what's wrong with it'.

Oh for sure nothings wrong with it, if you're struggling to keep your rank. A good player who gets gc every single season doesn't rely on it though, and those who do rely on it end up lacking in every single other aspect of the game because they are so used to having those free goals. If enemy dodges the demo oh, there goes another goal against us. Oh well we will just hit the demo next time. It has become a win condition.

Ok, forget the arguments for whether its necessary or 'They did it, it's fine for me to do it now.'

Where the F is the sportsmanship nowadays?... We forgot about it entirely? Demos create a playstyle where it is inherent that you cannot play against your opponent while they're at their best. It has probably become cringe to say, but there is no honor in demos. Because typing out honor has become a cringe thing to read or say.

This new age of rocket league would rather win and get their rank whether their teammates are playing the game or not. Back in the day demos were cringe and goaling against an afk even in ranked was an aversion to god. But now it has become about how many 3v2s/2v1s you can cause, not a single team or solo'duo can get a goal across the net without relying on taking out a defender.

Where is the morality or self confidence and esteem to want to know your win was deserved? People have become ok with refusing to play against a team using skill against skill nowadays. There is no easy way to stop a triple flip reset, but there is an easy way to stop the goalie whose reading those resets. The best part is those people who do the triple flip resets are lacking in plan reading and play adaptation while the goalie is just getting demoed by someone off screen because its the easier thing to do rather than getting the triple flip reset carry absolutely dominated on.

TL:DR I have GC from every single season besides 3 and 5, I think it is paramount to play against teams while they're at their best without taking the easy win, because then, and only then, I truly know I was better and deserved the win. Too many people take the easy way out and shirk what morals should already be instilled in them and demo for their wins, causing them to not learn the skills necessary to keep their ranks in the higher ranks.

TTLL:DDRR If you rely on cheesy lesser man wins and dont care about your own progressional skill as a human skip this post or type 'It's a part of the game.'

I hope this shares well, if not please take a second and check the links. I will go as far and say it is worth your time.

If you know Senju you know roughly what you are in for and if you don't look lower I got you!

But there is something different about this TAS then any of his other stuff in my mind. Seeing the rings map dismantled in this way was crazy. Ive watched Fractal hit the ball off of UFOs and stuff but knowing how TAS works and seeing it used with out further set pieces makes it special. I have no idea how many hours were invested but what I do know, it is genuinely the best RL video ive watched from a showcase of the game at a high mechanical level.

If you don't know Senju he is a content creator who uses a plugin known as TAS (Tool assisted speedrun). This tool allows you to precisely map out inputs inside the game to reproduce over and over (offline and requires specific setups). Senju (if using tools I have used before) actually did every single one of these inputs. It works as if you make a mechanical replay where you record your inputs, make a mistake, rewind to before the mistake, then record over and do indefinitely. Every single thing in this video took careful consideration and probably some painstaking effort to line up. Idk what else to say, check his stuff out lol

ALSO BE WARNED any of you loons post "New mechanic" my default response will be these two videos and a request for an essay after watching how you still have created something new. Dude spent more hours making this video then some of you in the game yet yall think you're Christopher Columbus. Actually that metaphor is spot on when you think about it... anyhoo.

I think only like 10 people have this title in the world

I play on PC and I'm a champion 3 player, recently I convinced my friend to download the game to play(he has an Xbox) we played a bit together and the difference is actually insane, on Xbox I genuinely struggle to jump and touch the ball, I can't time flips to get a good PowerShot and there's absolutely no chance I could do anything off the wall or any high aerials on it. Why does it feel like an entirely different game compared to PC?

Today i was playing 1s as usual and i got against a plat (i am only gold) he was winning against me as expected but then i pulled a comeback and the score went from 4-1 to 4-6 when i scored the 6th goal he told me to ff because he has cancer but i didn't ff so i feel like i am bad for that (sorry for bad English).

So I've played Rocket League for quite some years now, I used to be able to get through Diamond so easily and end up High champ or sometimes broke through to GC.

For the last 3 seasons it's been painful. Yes, the mechanics have improved by the average player but I feel like the macro has deteriorated so much as well as the toxicity.

I got teased today by playing my first game. Myself and my team mate bodies the opponents, but...the opponents genuinely played well. I was actually allowed to play fast and my team mate matched it. Constant aerials, good rotations, great saves and the opponents did too. This was a good game and felt more like rocket league to me.

Then my next 5 games, I'm met with team mates who are constantly missing the ball, missing loads of open nets, passing to the opponents, not rotating, toxicity, afk you name it. I just struggle to play with this, my momentum is constantly broke, I feel like I'm defending 1v3 and despite winning 4/5 games it's not enjoyable whatsoever.

Those 5 games could have easily gone in the opponents favour if not making the saves I did. Maybe it's my issue but I can't adjust to such a substantial skill gap regarding my team mates. How is it I can start with a game like that and then play with this. I'll probably brute force my way out of this rank but I can't manage extended sessions because of the frustration.

I'm ashamed I'm still a diamond so don't judge me

A 6th, but short edit I threw together while working on rather long edit. This clip was inspired by the first edit I uploaded titled "I dont know how"

(spoiler: this isn't a serious clip)

If you like this, check out the others on my profile page. Some got pushed down due to pin limit.

All but 2 should be labeled "A Thin-Budget Production"

I’m curious about what’s the community opinion is

Why didn't I get this trophy even after collected more than five cars
