Rocket League Catch All

I'm playing doubles - usually drunk, heck, I did name my club Weekend Inebriates ( DRNK )

So, tonight, though we won, my teammate kept using the quick chat Defending and literally stayed in the goal. So most of my shots were 1v2. Again, we did win, but there were so many shots that they could have gotten had they ( my teammate ) been defending from mid and not buried in the goal.

It is probably just my playstyle. I'm enjoying rank though, even if I am fighting from the bottom. With casual, though I'm a higher MMR, I'm losing and gaining teammates all over the place. Though, ironically, I love when I'm stuck with an AI - I know how to use them to my advantage

Thanks for the advice everyone. I will keep at it. Thankfully I got my Platinum rewards because of Rumble. For some reason I'm freaking awesome ( compared to 2s at least ) at that mode.

I assumed solo standard as you had b3 in that when I checked.

Ima look up some doubles replays too now.

Doubles is a game mode where I usually wish my teammates were more cautious as I see way too many players over commit on plays or challenges they can't win. Doubles and Snowday are the two game modes I usually hate to solo queue.

Use this mindset with people you get matched with. Figure out what they are doing and let them do it. You won't be able to change what they are doing, but you can change how you play around it.

Congrats on the Rumble rewards!

Competitive season 12 ends on December 4th. New patch, rocket pass, item store, and blueprints all arrive on same day:

So, wonder if Rocket Pass 5 will cost 1000 credits, or 1100. Hopefully the former and not the latter, though 1100 is $9.99 which is what the other Rocket Passes were priced. I'm guessing they'll have a lot of upset customers if they make us all have to buy another 100 credits.

Yeah the whole point is I bought one pass and keep using keys for the next ones. If I have to spend money again, blah.

Wow! It's amazing how many people that I play with/against in bronze that just bought a new PC and have been playing console for hours on end and are just incredible!!

Free to play is going to be a BLAST!

I'm a little annoyed about the season ending dates, last week of pass being on a holiday week. I'll be travelling and won't be back until Tues the 3rd. Probably no chance for me to get the final week challenges.

Especially now that you can do previous week challenges, they could just leave one extra week at the end of the pass.

My goal for this season was to stay a consistent Diamon 2 in 2v2. I'm currently at Diamond 3, so I'm going to try my best to push to Champion. Although at this level, I'm noticing a fair few players who are much fancier in the air than me, as I've sort of not been practicing mechanics. I am noticing myself getting better with control of the ball though. Playing 3v3 is actually a bit more frustrating for me now I can't attempt to dribble as much.

Nice. If you can comfortably get diamond 3 in doubles at the end of a season (when the smurfs are out in force) you should be able to get champ 1 at the start of a season.

Rocket Pass 4 will end on December 3rd and Rocket Pass 5 will start the next day. The premium will be 1000 credits, and you can earn those credits back by playing - you can also pay 2000 credits for premium and 12 tiers.

Also, starting tomorrow at 2pm PST there will be double XP until December 2nd 10am PST

A bit late to the convo from over a month ago Re: Bottle Rockets. Unprecedented work BS led me to drop basically all gaming in April this year. We’ve been coming out of it, and I’ve been getting some more time to game the last few weeks, but I just can’t bring myself to log back into RL, let alone Bottle Rockets. I know I’m a try hard in this game, because I liked getting better; it’s who I am. But I also know I’ve probably killed the fun on several nights. Being competitive, even if it’s only with myself and having no expectations from anyone else, isn’t going to translate to fun for anyone that isn’t also trying to be competitive.

When last I played, there hadn’t been casual Saturday games for a while. Everyone wanted their points for Rocket Pass, so taking over a pub was the thing. Just my opinion, but as long as their are points to hunt, people with limited time will want to spend that time hunting points. As a sustainable thing, at least.

As a secondary thing, drunk RL can be super awkward for anyone that, for whatever reason, isn’t also drunk. Even as close as the regulars in this group used to be, you can’t know everyone’s tipping points. While my response to stuff like that usually is “participation is voluntary,” you can’t really be surprised when people don’t want to volunteer.

Just the .02 from a washed up player; ymmv.

Valid and appreciated feedback. GWJ RL is not a massive group and yet there is a wide range of motivations among us.

A “washed up” player who’d still come back and be one of the higher ranked players in this group with very little effort. Come back!

Ditto, get your game on. We'll have ups, we'll have downs, such is life.

FYI

PSA: The following will be disabled on December 3 at 9 a.m. PST (5 p.m. UTC) to prepare for the Blueprint Update: - Key purchasing - DLC purchasing - player-to-player trading - trade-ins - Crate interactions. Plan accordingly!

Dammit I meant to trade in duplicates before I traveled for Thanksgiving. Ugh. Won't be back in time to fix it.

TL;DW:
- Wireless DS4 is still the fastest on average but has less deviation when wired
- Switch Pro is garbage (I can attest to that)
- Controller config in Steam is worse now than it used to be
- results spreadsheet here: https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?...

Patch notes for patch 1.70 are out. Most of it has been posted before. Two things stood out.

With the start of Season 13, we have adjusted how Party MMR works for Competitive Playlists. A Party's MMR will now be weighted closer to the MMR of the highest Ranked player in the group than in previous seasons.

So it will be even more difficult to play in mixed rank teams. Smurfing and boosting are still a huge problem.

Also, the conversion rate of keys to credits is not linearly 1 to 100 but varies based on how many keys you have. Details are at the bottom of this page: https://www.rocketleague.com/news/th...

I was wondering how I got an odd ball number of credits. 18 keys got me 1980.

and after opening all my blueprints I got 7 black market ones so I guess I'll have to wait to see what they are trading for. It's gonna be all over the place for a while I'm guessing.

I just want to know when Frosty Fest starts. It has started on the 11th and 17th before, so I'm guessing the 17th because it's a Tuesday.

I'm liking the new reward skin.

My graphics are all screwed up. Green glows on every car in the garage.

Now I have 4800 fake monies sitting in my inventory collecting dust waiting for the titanium white dominus to arrive in store

Once again the silver season reward item looks the best. Sharp with black/white/gray tones and not anywhere near as overstated as the higher ones.

This new blueprint system is ridiculous. Do they really expect me to spend $20 for an explosion?

Well, maybe not you but somebody.

Has the noise for picking up boost changed? It doesn’t sound as explicit as it did before the patch.
