Yeah, I feel real bad for new players. I'm a gold-rank lifer and was getting matched up with people with "Season [whatever] Grand Champion" titles. Not fun at all. At least I know that will shake out when mmr stabilizes as the season progresses, new players probably won't and might just quit.

Yeah your first game of rocket league should have your opponents sitting motionless as you fight the controls to hit a stationary goal into an empty net to stimulate the kind of teammates you find in gold and above

Is there any legitimate reason why US servers get three tournaments a day, but Oceania only gets one?

I mean I'm pretty ignorant of exactly what constitutes Oceania but its got to be a population thing

This post is from the first page but as someone who played the beta and made the first thread years ago it is just crazy how popular this game got. A lot of goons and myself thought it was going to be something special, but not 1.6 million people concurrently special. I remember being super surprised with 130k not long after launch.

I haven't touched the game in probably 3 years so maybe I'll have to give it a try again. I did try linking my PS4 account to Epic but got confused or couldn't merge it with my actual Epic account and just gave up without because I don't want to lose all my progress.

Its just got so many cool factors, high skill ceiling, simple concept, short games, i maybe only play 20 minutes a day buy its always fun

I really wish this game had a "don't match me with children" option. It's not enjoyable during the day because you can tell it's just a bunch of kids trying to touch the ball as much as possible, no semblance of teamwork. The difference between playing in the afternoon vs. late at night has always been very apparent to me. I thought this would get better as I ranked higher, but it doesn't.

imagine all the times a 8 year old has dunked on you and you didn't even know about it

Fair enough, but in my experience it usually seems to drop me into matches that still have a fair chance.

Because people randomly drop in and out of unranked games all the time, goal goes in after 3 seconds and bam 2 folk leave. I don't know why anyone would play unranked tbh unless they are super new

If anyone is being explicitly toxic in my 2v2s I tell them to stop or ill score own goals and if they don't I'll start OGin till they have a mental breakdown. I've only done it twice this year but it was very satisfying particularly the time the other team apologise for my team mate lol

You can be reported for this and temporary banned if you didn't know. (If you actually physically throw a match/own goal on purpose)
The other person, as long as they are careful with their words, wouldn't be penalized.

Oh I know but I only ever do it if the other person if being obnoxiously toxic and i've asked them to stop it, not just for someone spamming "Nice Shot!" 5 times for missing an open goal
