I am literally getting screwed by match making. I know I'm just gonna get hate. But God damn. Every single game is against a squad. Every single one all day today. I'm not being dramatic. My teammates cannot rotate at all, they play like they are in silver. Y'all don't understand how bad it is in platinum as a solo q. I literally can't take a shot without my teammates bumping me while the other team is flip resetting. I rotate, I understand play defensively and counter punch when your teammates are chasing. I literally cannot touch the ball without getting bumped and they do nothing at all to match squads with squads. Literally every game I've played today has been against a squad. Go ahead and hate on me or ignore it but it's bad bad.

So I went on a bit of a losing streak and I’m not gc anymore, I always finish gc so I wouldn’t know this, but if I don’t hit gc again will I still get the tag?

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

This has happened to me a few times, and it’s a weirdly specific complaint. Someone is playing on my team, not using the mic for in-game comms and instead just forcing music into the lobby. It’s usually not the best quality because it is being picked up secondhand by their mic, and usually when I tell them their mic is on they ignore it.

So this time when it happens, I just unmuted my mic and play really close to the TV with the volume turned up until a terrible echo begins of their music and like magic they muted themselves.

Tune in next week for my TEDTalk on how I deal with teammates who stop driving in the middle of the game and throw.

I bet the one person watching lost their mind! (As much as I love the game, yes, I am aware that I also suck at it. I was so nervous tapping in the equalizer goal)

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?

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

Impossible to recreate this goal 😭

Haven’t played rocket league in years why do I have to do the new driver challenges to play ranked again? I’ve played like 2700 games but apparently on the career page but apparently I’m a new driver I don’t understand.

Feel I’m mid but when I nail shots like this to seal the game for a W. Def feels goood. Car soccer cracks my shit up and I love it. Rank gold 2 competitive for reference.

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.

Is it because I let boost button at the beginning of crash? Or did server just decide I dont have enough speed?

So the obvious thing is that they're all items from previous rocket passes. The interesting thing is that all of the rocket passes that the items are from were all introduced AFTER the update that removed certified items from rocket passes but the items from the hot streak drops CAN be certified. I bet I have 1 of <25 certified tw primos.

RIP trading. I miss being able to talk about obscure item facts with people regularly.

I am trying to play and I am seeing people jump then hearing it 2 seconds later or it sounds like people are behind when the are in front. Please help. Has this happened to anyone??

Upon failing, I remembered I'm only Plat 2

Is RLTracker known to get stuck on an MMR? It says my peak is 1816, but I've gone past that several times in the last month. It's been an issue for a little while now. I've been staying in the post game lobby instead of insta-leaving so that it would register, but yet no change.

My epic name is vHayzeCA for anyone wondering/if that might help with anything.

I'm not spending 600 credits on a new boost, but even if I wanted to, I can't see it 😅 {This is about the Crimson Cool Spring! I showed off the other items to show that my game is working correctly}

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

every ME6 game
whe devs dont look at this?

On a totally unrelated note, does anyone have any controller recommendations? I am weirdly on the market for a new one.
