Why doesn't Sup Forums like Rocket League? It has all the hallmarks of a good game.
>DLC is purely cosmetic, and reasonable considering the game cost $20
>Developers continue pouring work into the game well beyond the average shelf life in this climate with brand new free content
>Extremely high skill ceiling
>Fun, engaging gameplay
What went wrong?
Most people here like it, it just doesn't get talked about for some reason.
It got popular. Why else does Sup Forums hate anything?
It's because there's only so much you can discuss about a car-billiards game from 2015.
Yes, everyone here likes it but we've already talked it to death.
>tfw just got out of Silver
I prefer Disc Jam.
I jam.
>dlc is cosmetic
hello challenger
>all the pros use the very first car you unlock
What did he mean by this?
Disc Jam gets old so fast.
it is, it doesn't change hitboxes or speed
>he doesn't even know challenger doesn't exist anymore
hello potato
That is just lies, that was once the most popular but not anymore and not for a long time. Two of the more popular ones are the dominus and the batman car, both dlc.
Hit boxes vary slightly, some cars are longer than others and have better reach, also turn radius on different cars plays a big part.
the scarab and the batmobile have the same hitbox?
>that was once the most popular but not anymore and not for a long time
season 2 was the peak of batman and dominus. season 3 everyone worth their salt is playing on octanes.
doesn't make a damn bit of difference though. blah blah blah different hitboxes, there's no objectively OP cars.
I know this, but the amount of variation is really negligible
To the average player, yes.
What was your highest rank? I was champion tier and you are completely wrong.
its reddit as fuck for starters
Is there any benefit to using the Batman or Dominus?
>my rank means i'm right
lmao
go watch RLCS. teams are playing with octanes. why? preference.
"Reddit" isn't an adjective.
Nothing went wrong. There's only so much you--
Exactly. If you look at the subreddit (I know, I know) for the game, it's 90% "MAH AWESUM RAPLEY!" that isn't that good and 10% shitposting memes with no actual discussion about balance/hitboxes or the season or boxes/lootboxes being horrible.
There's really nothing to discuss about the game compared to like Team Fortress or Battlefield or Street Fighter in regards to mechanics or balance.
What killed and buried the game for me is that my friends want to play Ranked and I have no interest in playing "rat-race skill-up/down" modes after work.
For those two mainly you will get the first touch on every head to head ball.
What rank were you?
Great reading comprehension by the way, I am not denying that the octane is used but you said "all pro players use the first car you get" that is wrong plain and simple. Played with grand champions and super and out of every 5 games maybe 2 of those someone had an octane. Batman and dominus are most popular.
I bet I can get you to plat
>my rank means I'm right
haHAA
Champ/Super/Grand is to RLCS Contender as Prospect is to Champ/Super/Grand, btw
Sup Forums hates anything popular
Holy shit the exaggeration.
No exaggeration. You made it to purple, congrats. Now let's see you compete against people who play this 70 hours a week at bare minimum.
>being this delusional
You brought up ranks by saying pros use a certain car, I said I play at the ranks where all the vest play and you were wrong.
Great argument though repeating yourself.
this is false
70 hours is nothing dude, you have no idea what you are talking about.
I agree that RLCSs contenders are better than GCs, but you still exaggerated m8.
Fuck are you talking about nigger
Just google the hitbox comparisons.
Sounds like you misunderstood, kiddo. A "pro" (or, professional, if you haven't heard the term before) is distinct from an "amateur" (i.e. you) in that the professional draws earnings from the activity in question.
You're not a pro. Neither are the people you supposedly played with. And your argument from authority ain't gettin' off the ground here, boy.
How am I supposed to have my controller set up? I'm using a logitech controller with the same layout as a playstation controller
Yeah, that was a figure Lachinio threw around when he was on a BREAK. that's why I use the phrase "at bare minimum".
you're totally clueless
Post your hours and ranks.
870 hours
2v2: Gold III
3v3: Platinum III
Solo Standard: Silver III
Where did I say I was a pro? I said I play with the vest ranked players, you know what ranks mean right?
I know pros are better, but you are delusional if you think the gap is that big.
Isn't it cars playing soccer? How the hell am I supposed to give a single fuck about that.
You're delusional if you think the gap isn't that big.
And I mean that. Someone can make purp by playing on evenings and weekends.
It is an utter yawning gulf in terms of skill between little Timmy who made purple and a team that gets mercilessly btfo in RLCS
>more hours means the better the player
What did he mean by this?
Post pic of your purple wheels, stats and your rocket league tracker.
>someone practicing a skill more generally doesn't improve quicker than someone who practices less
Thank your parents for not aborting you when they found out you were retarded.
For what purpose?
Not for everyone no, isn't that obvious?
You say it only takes a few days to make champion, I assume you have done it then yes?
Post proof please.
Exceptions don't invalidate the rule.
The rule you made up to suit your argument? OK mate.
1) Why would you assume that?
2) Why does that matter?
>he actually believes that people who practice more don't improve faster than people who practice less
How have you survived this long with mental faculties this weak?
-t silver shitter jealous of better players
You stated that it only takes a few days for little Timmy to make champion, what's your proof? Have you ever made champion at all?
Why do you feel the need to resort to personal insults? Is your argument not strong enough?
Explain to me this "rule" you mentioned.
Someone with 200 hours could be better than someone with 500 and then again some with 500 hours could be better than someone with 800. You are wrong.
1) I never said it only takes "a few days". Wipe the froth from your mouth. I said it can be done playing on evenings and weekends. Do you *really* dispute this, and if so, why are you such an idiot?
2) I didn't realize we were in a court of law and not on a fucking internet discussion board.
My proof is the legions upon legions of people who have made Grand Champion while simultaneously working a full time job or going to school Monday-Friday.
3) I will ask you again: why do you care so much about my rank?
>Extremely high skill ceiling
Not even him
Someone with 800 hours is MUCH more likely to be good than someone with 200 hours.
Your own use of "could be" demonstrates your own lack of belief in your argument.
It's common knowledge that practice helps you improve your skills. More practice means more improvement. Less practice means less improvement. Pick up a book once in a while, christ.
nuh uh they could be bad he just made that up and so are you
Evenings and weekends for how long?
So your proof is made up bullshit? I mean just because you said it does not make it true. Citation my man.
I ask your rank because surprisingly if you are a silver and have no experience of playing in champion tier then you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
Why are you so afraid to say your rank?
>citation
get-a-load-of-this-guy cam
Not an argument, show me your proof instead of spouting bullshit.
Not even him; you do realize that people can see Champion-level gameplay on Twitch and in RLCS and that completely invalidates your argument, right, senpai?
Watching does not equal playing it.
For someone so hung up on proof I don't see any citations in any of your posts.
Why does it mean I have no idea what I'm talking about if I'm a silver? Are you sure you've thought this all the way through here?
Why does playing it matter if it's just an observation on which cars are popular?
Furthermore, isn't it a better representation of the overall meta if someone watches many, many different channels rather than only being matched up against a small slice of the pie that you have good connection with?
Oops, looks like your argument just imploded desu! Sorry, senpai. My bad.
OK what do you want me to prove?
So basically a silver knows as much as a champion?

game over
thanks for watching, we'll be back next week with more special olympics coverage
Learn to read you faggot. We are not arguing over what cars are used, we are arguing over the gap between champion silver and pro.
How dense are you?
Great reading comprehension.
>loses argument
>outs themselves as spergs who can't read
>HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WE WON BY LOSER
That was embarrassing reading all that. At least this faggot actually had an argument
jesus look at how butt-blasted all these people are
pro rocket league players = NFL
non-pro rocket league players = high school football
NO NO NO NO THIS IS WRONG I AM A GRAND EGGPLANT AND I AM RIGHT ABOUT ALL ROCKET LEAGUE RELATED THINGS
I was consistently Challenger Elite. I stopped playing for a bit. Came back and had to redo my shirt. Got Gold 3. Dropped from Gold 3 to Silver 2 in a single sitting because holy FUCK people are absolutely fucking dreadful at this game. It's like every single teammate I've ever had has no thumbs, burns all over their hands, parkinsons and cerebral palsy. It's fucking stunning the level of mistakes people make in every single fucking match.
Samefag.
You lost dude, no point starting again repeating the shit you got BTFO on.
I do like it, I'm on 700+ hours now. I really can't be arsed to play ranked most of the time though.
Because just like in every other major online game out there, the fanbase consists of 2% chill people and the rest are huge faggots that come from MOBAshit games and throw tantrums if they lose and then purposely start fucking up on purpose just to make you mad.
That and then half the people on the game are either or in terms of interpersonal abilities and every other chat line from them is "kys"
so yeah
>he doesn't know how to check for samefag
are you new here or somethin
play it and see
t forever stuck in silver
If you were actually a good player you would be where you are supposed to be. Platinum and up can actually carry games with shit team mates.
Got gud faggots.
Samefag.
It's over dude. This is just getting sad, I'm out.
t. "kys" spamming meme-addicted sperg
You literally just read "consistently challenger elite" and your first reaction was "forever stuck in silver".
Imagine being you.
It's true though. No one has hit the skill ceiling yet.
flavour of the month
gets boring really fast
So I just done my 10 placements game in 2v2, got silver 1 then go up to gold 2 without forcing.
>mfw I was stuck in challenger 2 last season
>oh wait
t. toys-out-the-pram baby
I don't like how the ranks seem a lot more fluid now. One hot or cold streak can completely change the landscape now.
Dropped from gold 3 to silver 2
Imagine being you, you realise ranks have changed up and gold is not even as high as challenger right?
Does it make you made?
kys
Like I said, today was the first time I've played it in well over a year. I don't obsess over this shitty physics game.
>online_gaming_in_2017.txt
Sad but true. The LoL/Dota crowd is dispersing everywhere and ruining everything that is or is labeled "competitive" and involves a team. It's not even about flaming, I have zero problem with that. It's being emotionally unstable babies.
yeah agreed, i'll see tomorrow how is this going, but I smell from here that its just a matter of time before I get stuck in plat 1 or 2
> It has all the hallmarks of a good game.
there's your problem right there
It has its highest playerbase ever almost 2 years after release, hardly flavour of the month.
Yet you are here crying over how shit you are.
they need to stop resetting the ranks every season all it really does is fuck over matchmaking for a month or two
i was over at a friend's place watching him play in Silver and there were people pulling off flawless air dribbles.
There's no crying. Thread is about Rocket League. Posted my experience with Rocket League. Be less triggered.
The adults are talking.
cuz crates. no one cared before.
Then wait two weeks for matchmaking to even out. It's not like they reset it from nothing this season, it's based on last season's performance this time.
Are you kidding? The game has had a huge playerbase since its debut and it's only ever grown. You think that's all because of crates and not because it's a solid game?
