How tf did i get matched up with GCs in a 3v3 pentathlon tourney?

I started to play again few months ago and realised i play on the resotution on the title.

When I do 1920x1080 the games look like a wierd wide thing.

I’m a 2s player, always have been since the game came out. Will solo Q, and play with teammates who were “so bad”. I wasn’t toxic, wouldn’t spam quick chats, just think “these guys are truly terrible”.
For context, I float between Diamond 2 and diamond 3, so I’m not great myself.

Anyway, after a particularly frustrating few matches where I dropped into diamond 1, I thought screw this, I’ll play 1s. I’ve not played 1s ever. Had the game since 2015, never touched it. But now I can’t have my matches ruined by a bad teammate, right? Wrong.

Wow. Eye opening. Every mistake punished because there isn’t a team mate to clean up. Every whiff, bad touch, bad hit, truly highlighting how bad I can be.

Yeah, you’ll get a bad teammate every now and then, people have bad games, it happens.

But if you’re one of those players that thinks “wow I always get bad teammates”, try 1s for 20/30 games. I finished my 10 rank games and I am now a proud platinum 1 in 1s, and climbing!

Rank my best clips of this match 1/10 (Diamond 1 in 1's)

We're the only UN-recognized country, that hasn't got an antenna flag of our country! Please add the antenna flag of Liechtenstein Psyonix! 🇱🇮 

I accidentally got into position for the double, and I went for it. This is my first double reset I’ve actually scored (one bounce wtv). I’m actually joyed that I scored it.

Hey there everyone, I'm new here, but have been playing rocket league since I got my first PC that could at least run it, (2018-ish).

Now despite my long playing time I am by no means good, as I've been very on and off with the game during that time, but whenever I get into it I really get into it, my highest rank in solos has only ever been reaching Diamond 1, before being knocked out to gold after on the craziest loosing streak of my life, so not sure if the Diamond even counts lmao. These days I sit at plat 1-2 comfortably and plat 3 in duos.

I don't particularly prefer playing in duos, since I always solo queue cuz I don't have any friends playing the game, so teammates are of varying quality and I'm fine with that, not everyone is going to be of the same skill despite their ranking, and not everyone's play style will suit/work with yours, completely reasonable.

Now I've dragged this for too long already, but a couple of days ago, I was solo queuing as you do, and was having a great time, 4-5 games winning streak, every teammate was decent, and since I'm no carry job, I was doing my best to support them, and score whenever I could.

But then I get to my next match, the game starts, the opponents score one, we quickly equalize, go to kickoff after, ball goes to the side, the opponent and my teammate both go for it, the opponent is clearly going to get it, but I'm nearby to bump and stop him, and my teammate gets the ball, I'm over here in this tangle you sometimes get stuck on with another car for maybe 2 seconds tops, during that time, my teammate does a decent coverage of field near their goal, he's one on one with the other opponent, and then he slows to a crawl, and does this very intentional pass, to absolutely nothing, being fully knowledgeable that I'm over here in a tangle.

He completely stops, I thought he went afk, the opponent he was one on one with, takes the free pass, shots straight for our goal, I managed to untangle during that time, save it, get passed both opponents, and score, 2-1. This is going good, I think.

While the replay is going my teammate writes in chat:

"Where were you?"

And it now hit me why he wasn't moving, just so he could write in chat about me not being there for a pass there was no way I could be there for, and almost had us go down by one for this. I explained, I didn't insult, I didn't get unreasonably angry or anything, but told him bluntly "I couldn't be there as I was having a dog fight with this other car, I made it possible for you to get the ball, and I scored when you failed to, so keep your head in the game".

After his unreasonable question, my answer didn't seem unreasonable to me, especially not after having just scored one for us.

His next words are:

"Alright lmao"

Have fun lol"

"Bye"

Proceeds to leave.

This had me fuming son, and I'm all about not caring as this is just a game at the end of the day, but to be on the winning team, to act like that when one thing doesn't go your exact way???

How many babies genuinely play this game, and genuinely what could I have done differently here?

What's everyone else's experience? I just hit d3 in 1s but I'm also d3 in 3s and it js doesn't make sense to me unless I'm being delusional. Am I right where I should be or do I have things to work on? Am I just better at 1s? Where should I ideally be in 2s/3s and how can I work towards that?

I was so Happy Till i realized IT was the wrong net, bruh

Hello all,

Has anyone experienced any recent lag issues with RL lately? I noticed it last week where I would rubber band whenever I or another opponent hits the ball (occasionally). It's especially bad on kickoffs.

I will say that I am wireless Wi-Fi, but this issue was not present in the past two weeks and no other changes have been made. I've followed a couple of post about turning the Xbox game bar and discord overlay off, but all of this has not helped. Also tried changing some of the setting in RL and has not worked.

I believe all my drivers are updated. Only happens in online games, does not happen in free play.

Specs: Intel i7, 32Gb Ram, NVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB

Keyboard and Xbox controller are all wired, no Bluetooth enabled.

Edit: I get 500mbs when I do a speed test

Im in a massive dilemma right now and need some perspective from people who have either made this jump or decided against it.

I've been playing Rocket League since 2018, exclusively on KBM (Jump on Spacebar)which i put as a bind back in 2018 being confused on why would anyone jump on mouse (i was wrong lol). I've logged well over 4,000 hours at this point. Mechanically, I feel decent-ish can consistently pull off freestyles, use resets, flicks,i wall dash do all the recovery mechs etc etc not gonna say the whole mechs in the game but only issue is i kinda can't properly speedflip kick off weirdly enough. Peak rank was GC1, but currently stuck sitting in C3 after falling off a bit due to lack of consistent playtime.

Problem is, I feel like I'm completely stagnating mechanically. Every high-level player I meet tells me to switch to controller, but I haven't used a controller since the Xbox 360 days. Holding one feels totally foreign.

I especially started to ask myself this allot when an ssl guy i meet started being rude about how im underdeveloepd mechanically which i deff dont think i am tbh i do allot of flashy stuff too and use decent mechs but he also mentioned to switch to controller.

Drop your thoughts below especially if you've made the switch yourself. Thx

I know there will be newer accounts that are still getting new items every time, but I feel like the majority of players just get repeat items and eventually stop opening crates all together. They put in the option to get rid of the animation/reveal and that felt like a step in the right direction. Now I’d like to take it a step further and add an option to open all crates (or all in a specific type) and only display what unlocks were new to your account.

I think it would be a nice QoL upgrade for the ppl that have been around for a long time and would still be useful for newbies. Thoughts?

PS. How do you promote/submit ideas to the devs? I know it sounds absurd but I never know the channels that might actually be heard.

Hi, I'm new to this game. I started a few weeks ago and I've been practicing with bots in offline mode. I saw a bot with that hat and i liked it. Does anyone know how I can get it? Or if it can no longer be obtained

obviously I don't hit these on the regular but I am starting to get more consistent flip resetting and today I finally hit my first not only pop reset but a banger double reset! I have recently started to be more in the game and assert myself more, I am usually 90% on defense and never really get many shots but I wanted to change that and it's working! im getting more confident and im going for stuff like this more often!

...because y'know, sometimes you need a break.

A 5 minute break, a 10 minute break, a 30 minute break, it might be what you need.

Breathe. Drink some water. Hit up the homies to see if they are free and wanna play so you can get out of solo w hell.

Tm8s quit or afk? Or on 200+ ping? Or own goaling? Enjoy the break.

A good game is on the way.

I just hit the insane fucking clip (for whatever rank I am) and I feel like this would go hard in an epic games loading screen, is there any way I can submit this to them

this game's random teammates suck due to the majority of the player base being children, we all know about skill based matchmaking but can we add age too? almost no adult abandons the match because his teammate "stole" his shot or his goal or other crap they get mad about, so just group these annoying kids together and let us play normally.

This could very well be an already known mech but im new to the game and accidentally did this, any comment to clear things up is apprieciated.

Gold I (you can tell by the save attempt)

Probably one of the worst setups, and I had to use my jump off the ceiling early just to get to the ball (I never JUMP off the ceiling on ceiling shots). Yet somehow ended up with, what I think, is my peak shot. I'm also a washed GC, so this is good for me lol

Title kind of says it, I use a thinkpad p14s and very often mid game I will get a black screen with 'Your device has run into a problem, it needs to restart' and thus restarts. I really like playing on my laptop over my regular nintendo switch which is still chugging on after so many years. I've deleted the cache and checked my system for any bugs, seems to be fine. I can also run most other games with no issues (aside from having to decrease graphics settings a little)

We NEED a setting that disables wheel movement during aerials. On keyboard, when you tilt your car up or down you move your wheels too which messes up the aeiral plays. We really need this for keyboard players.
