r/RocketLeague

I can take trash talk, in fact i enjoy it to an extent. But the people who literally pause in live action to type out a message in a close game are the worst people imaginable. You’re essentially throwing a game just to whine and cry. If you don’t have mic or keyboard to type quickly, wait until the game is paused. But i just had a teammate refuse to go for a kick off because he was demo’d and had to type “you’re so bad you have to demo me????” And blew the lead. Just absolute insanity, and it happens on a semi frequent basis. I’m a plat for reference

I am a long time keyboard only player who has been experimenting with using different SOCD settings. Rocket League seems to use neutral handling by default but I like how last input handling feels... While in most shooters this setting is considered cheating, does anybody know if this is something that is okay to use in a game like Rocket League?

I must be setting records for being garbage at this game right? I refuse to believe anybody has a larger time played / rank disparity…

I was just thinking about this, especially for soloq people, I met lots of "warriors" who will challenge you to 1v1, basically they are trying to prove they're better than you, his teammate.

This approach in general is braindead, because why you play 2s/3s ? The reason obviously shouldn't be "to prove I'm better than my teammates" but "To prove that I can efficiently work with other people and defeating the opponent team".

People are just directing their competitive spirit in the wrong direction, because what's your logic as my teammate to compete against me instead of competing with me ?

The same thing for those comparing points, what exactly is the desired outcome here? Yeah, congrats, you have more points than me and we still losing, now what? Your average RL player do be doing the most illogical and irrational decisions and still thinks they're right.

Actions without a clear desired positive outcome is one of the worst thing you can do honestly.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

I know what a save is often used ironically but if the only attempted save in the play was actually a good save… maybe take the hint that it was a real compliment.

Basically this last game the other team were both shooting on goal. My teammate mad w a good save and it gave him a breakaway to also score.

I said “what a save, nice shot”… to my teammate. We had been complimenting each other all game and not once had I “what a saved the other team when I scored” not had I sarcastic said “nice shot” if they missed.

Yet somehow after this my teammate types “why are you being toxic?” Didn’t even have time to answer him as I didn’t want to get scored on while typing. Lol
