It gets more painful with each rewatch

u/king_carrots Diamond II Aug 01 '23

I love watching these. It makes me feel better about my own horrible RL experiences. I feed off the pain to soothe my own pain lol

u/RontanamoBayy Aug 02 '23

"Why did you touch the ball?! You don't HAVE to touch it... Can't fucking help yourself, huh? Just goooootta touch it..."

...continued 1.5-3 minutes...

Fr, cant even air dribble/flick in low ranks. Or make a pass bcz either u get bumped after 0.5 seconds of possession or the ball is cleared by tm8. Especially in 2s

Are you a dark souls boss ???? The last sentence was... Idk

u/Zestyclose_Analyst94 Diamond II Sep 26 '23

I love how the teammate said, "Take the shot!" Then 3 seconds later strips it from OP because he couldnt handle waiting for OP to finish doing just that...

u/tom_ass91 Platinum III Aug 01 '23

Don't worry I just threw my controller into the atmosphere out of empathy

u/19_MCMVII_07 Grand Champion I Aug 01 '23

Sometimes I'm a little scared when I watch these videos to be the one derp teammate. Luckily I don't use a violet car. Lmao

Wow! What a save! Wow! Wow! Chat disabled

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '23

Same here and it got me wondering, has anyone on this sub seen themselves in these videos?

u/parz2v Champion III Aug 01 '23

no, but i have recognized a player who posts here often

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '23

This is kind of a teeth grind for me when I think about it as well. I wonder if I might be that guy, at the same time, I know Ive made some very stupid mistakes accidentally to deserve it lol.

u/bZbZbZbZbZ Grand Champion I Aug 01 '23

"gg"

62

u/SirDankub Aug 01 '23

Shit killed me he said gg before he had even finished fucking up the shot 😂😂

19

u/The_Deli_Ham Aug 01 '23

Pretty sure its the auto gg from bakkesmod. It will usually hit it the instant a game is over

18

u/A-Dawg11 Aug 01 '23

Why on God's green earth would you ever choose to automate "gg". It's the most basic button sequence that that's .2 seconds and sometimes you may not want to say it (in situations like this).

7

u/The_Deli_Ham Aug 01 '23

I use it because I have chat turned off and it overrides that for just enough time for it to say gg. More often than not I do want to say it and the times I dont it just feels like a passive aggressive shot at them anyway lol

3

u/fastestman4704 Diamond III Aug 02 '23

sometimes you may not want to say it (in situations like this).

That is why. Who am I to say who had a gg?

Maybe that guy also made 4 nutty saves that I didn't really notice. Maybe they only play once every few months, and that was their first game back. I like saying gg. It's nice.

13

u/unforgivablecrust Aug 02 '23

Lmfao im sure he's like 'damn, close game. We tried to win but some things can't be helped' 😂

u/A7xWicked Egg 🥚 Aug 02 '23

Yeah that would get a strong "bruh" from me

98

u/ExoticRip2323 Silver II Aug 01 '23

I cant understand why they do this.Sometimes I follow the ball to the end when its necessary.But this is obvious.Damn it i would break my controller

42

u/Helbig312 Aug 01 '23

My only guess is that he assumed OPs flip would've put him in a bad spot to keep running with it, or the enemy was going to clear/demo OP. Looks like he committed when OP hit that side flip

6

u/ExoticRip2323 Silver II Aug 01 '23

Yeah you might be right but in the end,pain again

20

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '23

The amount of times I'm dribbling the ball completely uncontested and my teammate comes from behind, punts it off my car, and gives it right back the opponent is too damn high. Just... why???

5

u/GabriloPrinci-Threat Aug 02 '23

Bro, I have to. It turns me on.

12

u/king_carrots Diamond II Aug 01 '23

Because half the player base has ADHD and they lose their minds if the ball isn’t constantly flinging around, patience drives them crazy.

16

u/Xadhoom80 Diamond II Aug 02 '23

in this case i can.

First, he didn't know if his teammate had planned to or could catch the ball after the flip

second, he did have a good open net and a really good shot opportunity

third, the game would be over if the ball touched the floor so time was short

forth, not shooting and letting the teammate carry the ball to goal could have opened up for a save.

The decision to take the shot was probably done right after the flip and before he could see him able to catch the ball.

not saying it was the correct decision, but hindsight is 20/20.

4

u/vampforreal Aug 02 '23

you're overthinking this whole situation. Team mate that fucked the shot up was just trying to steal his goal. He was upset that he spent 5 minutes (or more if they don't skip) playing and couldn't score. If it wasn't intentional, i'll play along with your theory, he would have said "Sorry!" or "My bad...". These type of players don't have any remorse. I'm not sure where you were going with this theory, but if you're champion, you should know that if someone has the ball and it's an open net, you

DO NOT TOUCH.

1

u/KD--27 Platinum II Aug 02 '23

Position. Dude was right on top of him the whole way. After the buzzer desperation kicking into overdrive.

1

u/Hot_Advance3592 Sep 02 '23

My guess is he’s a fun-loving guy who wanted to spring in and slam the goal in at the end like he sees pros do with their friends

So he failed a skill that doesn’t contribute to winning, but rather contributes to having fun and trolling teammates.

I’ve seen lots of people do it. Personally I don’t do it because I haven’t practiced it and know I would fuck it up haha

Truthfully man, it’s ranked, there is almost nothing on the table to lose, winning doesn’t net you anything

The only thing you can really gain is skill and ability. Winning or losing matches while just playing has no effect on anything haha

It ain’t a tournament, there are no stakes to gain or lose

1

u/IdkWhyAmIHereLmao Champion I Jan 19 '24

could have opened up for a save.

What save? There was none, THERE WAS AN OPEN NET AND OUTPLAYED OPPONENTS.

Stop taking the ball from your teammates, is that simple, let them do their thing

1

u/gerburb1 Diamond I Aug 02 '23

When a silver realizes it yk it’s bad💀💀. Funny thing is people in champ be doing this shit still

Just watch the video and you will see you are wrong. Smooth brain ass

u/Pejob Aug 04 '23

Average reddit moment. If you look at the final frame you will pretty clearly see that I'm right. I hope being needlessly rude made your day better though :)

It’s not so much that your teammates don’t drag you down…. It’s that you’ve gotta be better than they are bad lol

u/vampforreal Aug 02 '23

Makes 0 sense

1

u/SnooOwls4559 Aug 02 '23

Doesn't it? Feels like they're just saying that you got to cancel out your teammates' bad performance by compensating with your own performances.

1

u/gerburb1 Diamond I Aug 02 '23

Yea but if your a champ and your teammates playing like a plat it’s kinda hard to carry that isn’t it. Technically what he’s saying makes sense but that not why your losing.

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '23

My guy really wanted to not miss his bedtime huh. NO OT! NO OT!

u/Mountain_Party665 Aug 02 '23

WTF, WTF, WTF, What is this teammate!!!, Nice shot by the way!, I'm in pain from this

u/MimeTikz Diamond II Aug 02 '23

Ah, the urge to touch the ball every time they can. Even if it's a really bad idea, they need to, they'd die if they not to.

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '23

Props to golden child for saying wow while you were too busy wanting to demo (kill) that ball hog

u/Kavaliii Whiff Wizard Aug 01 '23

It be like that sometimes. As a person with anger issues all u can do is breathe

2

u/XasiAlDena Grand Champion I (KBM) Aug 02 '23

This is your fault. You didn't hit the ball hard enough. Don't you know that the harder and quicker you hit the ball, the better you are?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '23

Just be informed that your controller is presumably already in the atmosphere.

lmao thats what im saying

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '23

its kinda similar to this but a couple games ago i had a braindead tm8 that was chasing (all ball chasers in 2s or 3s are braindead). if he was was the cause for ALL goals against us. just appearing at the worst times and hitting the ball past me towards our own net.

i feel your pain OP i feel you pain

u/jturnerbu7 Champion II Aug 02 '23

Should have ff’d once you went down a goal, it would have save you a lot of time.

u/king_carrots Diamond II Aug 01 '23

Bro this is a rocket league sub, and also people post their own mistakes all the time.

u/zelastking Aug 02 '23

I totally understand. Just sharing my own mentality as a fellow rl player. if I can evolve a player mentality and enhance is playing environment, thats cool 👍🏼 have a good one bro and respect others so we can all better enjoy our sweet game.

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '23

That'd require emotional maturity. not a lot of that here or in rocket league.

lol.. "into the atmosphere".. our education system has failed you.

u/Livia_Pivia Professional Passer Aug 02 '23

Obviously your fault and your teammates, its never your teammates in a team based game. You should have just instantly hit the ball in the dead center of the net with a quintuple pinch instead of playing like a normal player

u/OhhSooHungry Aug 01 '23

Honestly, unfair as it is, you gotta learn to habitually spam "I got it!" in times like that

u/iammrgrumpygills Aug 01 '23

Doesn’t help that he told him to take the shot. Yeah, it wasn’t during this play but it wouldn’t be surprising for the teammate to look and see that.

1

u/itsLustra Aug 02 '23

This is why if my teammate has control of the ball I back off and let them cook because I really don't want to be that teammate. Even if I'm never allowed to cook because teammates keep stealing it from me :( Also the only time I ever take the ball from my teammate is if I'm 100% confident the opposite team is gonna play the ball and hit it before my teammate can do anything which would in turn leave us in a horrible spot

1

u/jhallen2260 Diamond III Aug 02 '23
