[@mclowbob2010]

For me, I must say it was a mixture of reasons. One the one hand, the grind you have to commit to was becoming annoying, as I did not want to spend my entire day playing Rocket League. On the other hand, the gratification for training and learning new techniques is minimal to say the least, as once you reach Diamond, the issue of smurfing becomes ever more severe. After a while, all the game did was ruining my afternoon and affecting my general mood. That was the point I realized I had to stop. I have never regretted my decision to quit and honestly, it feels like waking up after a long night of nightmares, as the game is subconsciously making you addicted and numbing you to your environment.

[@zolad2345]

I've always described playing rl like learning to play the piano. It takes a while to understand the basics and then literally years to become a pro (or GC or whatever). I feel like sometimes it's hard to keep playing cause I feel like I stop improving unless I start dumping loads more time into the game. Plus, every game feels like a sweat fest, games like fifa or cod I can play a bit relaxed and I don't get punished. With rl, you miss a shot, miss a save, look away from the screen for 2 seconds and you've basically lost the game

[@Tasty.Jams44]

This may be why I never got past diamond lol

[@jomanji1732]

This is a great comment. I totally agree. I had quit piano a few years ago and wish I could get back into it, but seeing my older sister just crush some piano pieces while I’m stuck at the bottom really hurts. I still like playing rocket league, but it’s tough to do it often

[@NOLASkaGuitarist]

@@jomanji1732 I teach music for a living. Keep practicing. Your sister is years the wiser and probably has the hours put in that allow her to play at that level. I'm a multi-instrumentalist and I know what it's like to start at the bottom. It's hard to keep practicing something else when you're already good at something, but now I play and teach guitar, piano, drums, bass, ukulele, vocals, and trumpet. Trumpet is the hardest and most frustrating as you really need to keep your embouchure muscles in shape, and if you have any sort of true pitch transposing instruments are like kryptonite.

I am a very laid back guy, but toxicity in rocket league just has a way of getting me tilted in a way no other frustration can. Ever since turning off chat, I've found rocket league to be much more enjoyable. While you could occasionally have a positive interaction, the negativity far outweighs it in my experience. Being able to just play the game without jerks being mean has been one of the best ways to reignite my love for this game.

I finally reached Plat a couple days ago and I absolutely hate it here. Every single game is either someone afk half the game, whiffes every shot, or rages at the slightest mistake. Someone even wanted to forfeit when we were winning 4-2

[@azikkii]

I think the thing that keeps people addicted is that feeling when you are playing like a god that lasts like 3 days and you constantly play to get that feeling again even if it takes months to happen. Once you realize that on a deep level it’s easy to quit because you realize there are other games where progression is very clear and linear.

[@scmobiledetails]

[@moodiell]

I’ve been playing this game for 3 years now. Personally, I still find the game fun but it can get a bit repetitive and frustrating at times. For example, when I have to play a match, I have to constantly sweat and focus all the time which just isn’t fun at all. Sometimes I just want to be able to relax and play around, but with the players I continue to face it’s literally impossible. My day consists of loading up the game, playing, then complaining then getting off. I still love this game, but I still feel there’s more that can be added to the game to keep it fresh again. We probably won’t get anything new until the new Unreal Engine 5.

[@trenth.8464]

Nothing makes me more mad than someone who cuts rotation. It throws the whole teams rhythm off.

[@MetalMolekula]

Hi CBell! It would be so easy to fix a few big problems in RL. 1. Next to "Report player" add a "Players I dont want to play with again" option, so if you have a rage quitter/toxic player, you can ban him from your potential teammate list. This way these players would have hard time finding games as everyone would just block them (even if the block last for ~3 months, or increase over time if you block someone multiple times). 2. Add customizable targets to custom training, so you can create a very specific training pack. Customizable things like: - Net with only partially open areas that can help you to train placing shots (similarly to the aim workshop map). - Opponent cars that you can customize how they move, or just making them plain simple AI bots. 3. Party ranked matches where you as a GC can join with a Plat friend to see how the two of you would play. However, it should be different to standard 2s and 3s as this would certainly have an impact on those players' ranks who play the game seriously. 4. Spectating others' matches. Would be incredible if we could join non-ranked matches of others to see how they play. Coaches could use this to be able to watch the person they are mentoring live. This could seriously impact competitive matches, so definitely should not be allowed in ranked matches. 5. Rethink how the mmr is calculated after a win/loss. While this is quite difficult, but given how much data is available about players, I think Psyonix could come up with a system that can differentiate between HOW you won/lost a match. Close wins/losses should not give you a lot of mmr, while smacking/being smacked should result in a greater mmr gain/loss.

[@Czonte]

Psyonix needs to take notes man. Preach it.

[@mraaronrox]

i feel you on the queing in 2's.. usually everytime we get down by 2 goals my random teamate would either ff or trash talk when there's still a lot of time left in the match. It just ends up ruining your mood and would get me tilted to the point where I would have to play a different game mode. I ended up uninstalling a couple weeks ago because it was happening too often. I swear champ is the new Diamond with players having a huge ego and very toxic for no reason and need that reality check.

[@adrianpaulochoa9825]

It's so frustrating, because after they start being toxic after 2 goals or an early goal I start getting mad so I start playing more reckless and thus, worse, so he keeps on hating and its infuriating, I've tried disabling chat or putting only team chat, but it's useless when 95% of the time the toxic guy isn't even the opponent, it's your own teammate

Great video, with great points. I'm not quitting RL, but yeah, smurfs are an issue. And it's not even like there is ONE smurf in the opp. team anymore, oh no sir. Smurfs now frequently team up... and now you and two others random C1s are in ranked match against 3 high GC buddies. They are tornado spin freestyling, double flip-resetting, doing breezies and musties, passing to each other, chilling out... while you and your rando team mates are running around like headless chickens, bumping into each other like Curly, Larry and Moe, and wondering what else could we be doing with our lives. Another fun scenario is when you are up against the three -musketeers- smurfketeers, and one of your team is also a smurf who's just solo-queuing. A minute into the match your solo smurf teammate would start flaming you for not being "good enough", would refuse to forfeit, and then start playing for the opp. team. Yaaaay, fun times. And if you abandon match, you get banned, lose a ton of MMR, and the smurf teammate (aka toxic pos) simply chooses "leave match" afterwards and goes on with only a fraction of MMR lost to ruin someone else's day.

[@zixby]

I hate how this is so true, I encounter smurfs once every 2-3 games minimum and then when I complain about it people just think I'm bad, smurfs not only make you lose mmr but they also stop all of your momentum, all the fun you were having and much more which in the long term brings you down a lot

[@ProCarRacer13]

I had a 2-3 month hiatus from Rocket League back at the beginning of 2021. It was mainly because of a league I was in at the time. We had lost an important match being reverse swept and that was just it for me. Having done that hiatus though, I feel it helped me regain my enjoyment for the game and also helped with being able to handle high stress situations better. So I feel it was actually a blessing in disguise.

[@yeeeeeeeeeeet11]

1:26 Oh my god #2 is so insanely accurate I have experienced this my entire rl "career" in every single rank I have gone through. I've been in champ for the past year and a half now and I've completely resided to this reality where its just insane ups then plummetting downs. To avoid giving up on everything though I moved my focus from the rank side of things to mechanics side and feeling rewarded being able to unlock new skills. It makes the rank less painful and allows you to feel progression even if your rank is regressing. (just my experience for whoever cares)

I played Rocket League for about a year, (I quit about 8 months ago). When I first started competitive, I was bronze, but over the course of those 8 months, I got up to high champ 3. What got me to quit was that I had a revelation one game - I thought back to when I was bronze grinding silver, silver grinding gold, gold grinding plat, and plat grinding diamond. I thought to myself "my goal is to get out of elo hell, where the players are toxic, where every game is hard, where I get what a save'd at every chance." "if I could just get out of plat or if I could just get out of diamond - maybe the higher ranked players wouldn't be such assholes." nothing changes at the higher ranks of the game, save for you're expected to be consistent and play as a team. You still get what a save!'d by kids who are lucky to be in the same rank as you. You still have random team-mates put in your comp games that are absolutely bad, you still have players blame you for getting scored on when you rotate in after spending 37 years trying to rotate in but getting cut off by the ball-chaser whose idea of rotating out is going to grab more boost so he can rotate back in.

[@bergenbowron4846]

I truly love the game rocket league, have been playing it for a while. But it just feels like this has become its greatest downfall, so I had taken a break from it. The reason I stopped playing rocket league is mainly due to the amount of toxicity that teammates deal out. It doesn't matter what rank you are, you will always have those people who think that they are better than you in every way, then just try to one many army the game. It has gotten to the point where they won't even let you have the ball anymore cause they will just come up and take it from you while it is in your possession. Then, when things go wrong, they just leave making you face the opposition by yourself causing you to lower in rank. Truly heart breaking to see it happen.

[@jakewantstoplay1897]

I've quit before and I've come back. And I've also felt like quitting a lot. Mainly because of toxic teammates, smurfs and lack of variety. Also, the way people play casual and extra modes (particularly now extra modes are ranked) means that it often feels like there isn't just a fun way to play the game. They need a super casual mode... Like a first to 50 game where new players are swapped in and out every 3 minutes but the game carries on and people are encouraged to just be silly.

[@Philipp19911]

I think the change that would help me enjoy this game way more s the following: Age filter! I am 30 years now and really love RL. But bothers me the most is players who are toxic (even though they are clearly worse than you are) because they don't want to realize their own mistakes and just blame you to feel better about themselves. Whenever I have nice teammates who cover you or pass you and I am asking them for their age, they are always above lets say 20. I understand this, you are not really self-aware in a young age and have a lot of anger if you have some difficulties in life. I would never want to play against or even worse with my 15 yo self. So please, either have something like a toxicity filter (when someone get downvoted lets say 10 times, they only get to play other players who are toxic as well. Because right now, if you report someone for unsportsmanslike behaviour, nothing happens. It's so annoying to come back from 10h of work, boot up your pc to have some relaxation going on and only to jump in 2s, where your mate is just going to (fail to) airdribble and what a saves me, wishes that my mum dies(really happened) and start to play 3v1.

I find that when I start to get angry multiple times in a row, every time I get on, I just take a break and play other games for a week or two. It's always so refreshing to come back after a short time away because the skill doesn't go away for me I actually slow down and think about my plays a little more before I execute them. Makes playing less of a thing to just do because I'm bored and turns it into a fun challenge getting better after not practicing for a while

In your tournament win video the first game you had a bunch of double commits and whiffs…

[@mzmc3020]

# 3, 5, 9, 10, 14, 15 are the main ones for me and they all kinda lead into each other: # 15 -This one is a personal complaint because to me Demos feel inconsistent ash sometimes online # 5 - BAD TM8S - I noticed this immediately after RL went F2P. Ofc it was always a thing but it ramped up x10 since that update. Seriously. Anyone who was champ before the F2P update , tell me rn straight up its the same rank as it was before. I betchu cant Cuz its simply not. Yes Same name but not the same skill required . This leads into: # 10 - MISTAKES - Yes Ik theres training packs & Free play but Im talking about Game sense and Positioning. How else are you supposed to hone those two skills other than actually playing the game. And before you say " You have to adapt to your tm8s playstyle" Stfu. Why? As Cbell himself said for #5 you can rotate and support as well as you can but in the end it prob will still not be enough . And If you win , so what? Did you as a player improve playing with said bad Tm8? If anything really , it either made you Slower, Passive, and or Trust less . # 3 - With no new major update for a "skys the limit" kind of game like RL, (Theres so much more they can do for this game) it leads into: # 9 - REPETITIVENESS - Since there's nothing to do but train and play the same thing, which Ultimately leads to: # 10 - BORING IK for a fact that everyone has put down this game at least once for a while due to lack of interest

[@aideng03]

Take this how you will, but I have found that finding a tm8 (or multiple) helps eliminate the majority of the issues on this list. And even when you’re not doing so hot, I find it much easier to laugh it off with your friend/tm8. Also I don’t see how anyone can get bored with all the custom maps/game modes people like Leth keep making.

Finally called it quits after getting abuse the last 2 days. Ive put thousands of hours in and i can't do half of what other players do at my rank (diamond 1). It frustrates me so much it got me down.

[@michaeleck1055]

Biggest thing is none of my friends play, and getting new players involved and trying to play with the large rank difference makes it either boring for you, or impossible for them.

[@terrarianoob3164]

I quit for all reasons but mostly, because its boring now, because all you is the same thing over and over and over and over again, again and again.

[@jman8350]

I quit the game a couple of years ago, but one of the reasons you didn't list that was a huge attributing factor for me was lag. That, along with the fact that no matter how hard I tried, I got spit on and flushed, because I play very casually and never cared about learning advanced techniques. Personally, I feel that it is a game that, unless you commit to it, you should just avoid it altogether. It's a hyper-competitive experience that I cannot enjoy.

[@kingali2703]

It’s crazy how accurate and relatable this is to me .

[@joefresh0212]

I know this video is a year old. I got rocket league yesterday and have been dealing with insane players hitting almost the same shots I see in the esports events. Idk what kind of MM this game uses but I can see how this would make anyone new to the game quit immediately. Unfortunately I am too stubborn to quit so I will be pressing on and training in the TERRIBLE practice modes.

[@jbrain121]

The smurfing in this game is so ridiculous. As a D3 I've experienced so many smurfs that I started looking up every player I play in 2s on rocket league tracker and after doing that for about 1 week of consistent play, about 40% of my games had somebody with under 200 wins. Ridiculous

[@EvilDude1]

I haven’t quit but I stopped taking ranked seriously. The main reason roots stems from the smurf problem: I don’t care about playing against smurfs, but too many people have gotten carried to ranks they don’t belong in. Every time I solo queue I get literal platinums on my team at GC1.

[@shplabam412]

i got close to quitting because every time im about to score my controler just decides to turn off and i get bullied by my teamates in the chat

[@izzygon21]

The desync in this game is incredible. It hits different when when you hit the ball and then the replay shows something entirely different.

[@caseyharger5624]

As a guy who solo q’s duos I get all this especially the toxic teammates I always try to make plays for teammates and some how they end up whiffing and getting pissed then throwing the game.

[@Azaus26]

I could handle a couple of these for a long time. I lasted a long time dealing with reasons 1,2, 4, and 5. But when it became free to play.... reason 11 was the final straw. I kept playing and tried to overcome the huge influx in smurfs, but it's just too much when combined with the other 4 reasons to just stop playing. I am so over it I actually stopped playing ANY competetive games and have been having a blast with singleplayer adventure games and roguelikes. :)

[@j.g2158]

This is more of a relatable/stressfull video for me than the acual thing

[@Gretix500]

Sometimes not seing the message when I open the game : "thanks to your reports, actions have been taken against a player...." makes me want to quit.

[@TamCam_007]

I quit because I suck at the game because the mechanics are too complicated _💀_

[@darkencold5248]

I didn't quit for any of those reason really, well kinda. The grinding got annoying for the most part, but in honesty my love for the game just died out . I was playing it three years straight (literally the only game I played.) I moved from xbox to PC to even stream the game. I even made a cringy montage video. I met a lot of good friends along the way but never could really keep up with them. I stop playing two seasons ago shortly after I hit champ one in threes (solo qued the whole way lol ) . I think if I had a team that worked well together and trained together then maybe I would play again, but I still love rocket league to some extent, and it holds special place for me. Cbell love your videos man

[@fadedraider1705]

Rocket league has gotten so annoying mainly because of these 3 reasons, Trash "sKilL BaSEd MatChmAKiNg", really hard mechanics that make a person either really bad cause they cant do it and cant make another mechanic by themselves or a pro who stomps every single other person and quits cause its boring, or 3 the game itself being really annoying and sudden and having confusing controls

[@RFB-gg7oh]

Lot of server problems where i cant even control the car, leave and get ban. Mismatches or smurfs leave get ban. Rocket League loves to Ban and it sucks, very easy to quit this game fast.

[@babousk7593]

The most annoying thing is when you play ones and you get scored on but the other person does not skip the replays on purpose even if you skipped all of your replay goals. It happens to me every 2 games

[@drewjohnson4176]

I love using demos and bumps, it can be a strategic mental game. Getting your opponents tilted so they start making shitty decisions and playing overly aggressive.

[@lordthistlewick5711]

I have just quit now. I picked it up a few weeks ago and have been playing it a good amount. I was enjoying the struggle to get better, casual got really tough, lots of diamond tournament winners but I figured that would help me improve. Competitive was a nightmare though, I saw an amazing guy who at the end had unranked four times in the 20 matches I played. I was only a Gold, and brand new too. Then I tried a tournament, 6-3 up in the first game then both of my teammates either leave or get kicked at the same time. Two minutes to go I just about hold on, and my reward is going to the next round and getting an 8-2 thrashing in a 1v3. Everyone who wants to make the game worse seems to have free reign, and when it gets abandoned, Psyonix will have nobody to blame but themselves for their own laziness and greed.

[@TranquilKr]

Life is too short to waste it all on a Video game, man. Dopamine detox and try to find a healthy balance, but for an a person with an addictive person like me, cold turkey works for me. I played RL the other day after 2 years or so and then I quit again. See you, RL in another 3-4 years, if you're still around. : ) Awesome buddy, CBell as always! I remember watching your videos back when you had like 100k subscribers or something.

[@John-zc2my]

I solo que a lot and #1, 2, and 4 hit home. It's already tough enough to win without much communication, but then adding in emotionally unstable and afk teammates makes it unbelievably frustrating. I've had teammates vote to forfeit while we are winning......

My brother uses Xbox controllers and he’s ordered 4 elite controllers DIRECTLY from the Microsoft website, that’s over $1000 in controllers, and they all came broken or broke within a week, I’ve tried to convince him to switch to PlayStation controllers because I’ve never had one come broken. But he refuses. All this being said, I can see why people quit rocket league because of broken controllers. My reason for quitting rocket league is because my internet is complete dogshit

[@alexrhcp]

Im very suprised that "heavy car" / game consistency isnt in here. Im high GC but consistently struggle with my car not turning or moving at the same speed every day. For me Im playing a different game it feels like everytime I log on, its made me quit several times and ik others feel the same

[@daveytheg]

[@kelvinhbo]

Heavy car thing has been the reason I've quit the game several times. I come back to see if it was fixed, but no, it stills happens.

[@christiantorres3253]

I quit because I only use keyboard to play, no mouse, no controller, only keyboard. But the problem is that I press up arrow to move, Ctrl, shift, the other arrows to steer and brake, tab to rotate, q to left rotate, and number 5 to rotate right I think I press like 5 keys at once in some situations but when that happens one of that keys stays pressed and I can play. For those who will say that I need a better keyboard y thought that too and I bought a expensive mechanical keyboard from razer.

[@ProbablyAGamer]

I haven't quit but I've come very close a few times, I've peaked at C3 in 2v2s almost solo queue every game, the way I've figured it out is kinda like this. You're new at Rocket League so you're bad at the game but it doesn't matter because you're having fun with your friends, over time you start to get better some of your friends stop playing so you play on your own now which is fine but then you start getting good which feels great. Then you're pretty decent at the game say around champ ish and it stops being fun because instead of making mistakes and not caring because you're having fun you're making mistakes and feeling crap about it because you know you can do better and the game goes from haha ball go weeee to why aren't I getting better why has my rank stayed the same for the last 6 months. The game loses a lot of it's fun when you start caring about rank. Which is why I think a lot of people smurf they want that feeling of not caring about rank again but they do care so they won't sacrifice their rank on their main account, so they make a new account and play casually for fun not taking it seriously so they enjoy the game again but it comes at the cost of your opponents not enjoying the game

[@fa5.brandon]

I like this video a lot cuz it’s not the usual BS every other KZbinr says “if you’re losing MMR fast you probably aren’t playing good enough.” This is the biggest bullshit ever because you can play this game so well and still lose so many games, and then be unable to climb back up to the rank you belong in. Serious issue with this rank system is that you HAVE to win to rank up. If the game actually ranked you based on your skills you could rank up off a loss that you played your ass off on. This would make a lot more sense

[@engingalito1128]

as a grandmaster on league of legends im finding peace on rocket league. You guys doesn't know what is pain

[@Raiown]

I have come pretty close to quitting because of smurfs, try hards in casual, and the lack of custom game improvements. I stay in because RL is, at the end of the day, instant gratification for better or worse. What I have quit is trying to finish placements in the beginning of the season. This season is the first time I have ran into career derankers sandbaggers, and it is much more frustrating than a smurf

[@jake395x]

im getting close to quitting because of the community in the gold - champ which is pretty bad, recently i got 3 bad teammates in a row; one toxic, one throwing, one straight up leaving. this was also right after i was on a win streak and was in a great mood, going up a few divisions in a row and then immediately having to go down because of my teammates just not having a good mental

[@Ahmedd105]

I rage when the matchmaking system in competitive decides to give me a bad teammate/s. Even though my skills are between gold and plat, I still rage. The game felt unbalanced and I might quit soon.

I live for 1v1 ranked. It's the best and worst game mode in the game by a long shot. It's just that most people can't even play it for long enough to get their ''actual'' 1v1 rank, meaning people like me will face SSL's in Champ 1 in ones or gold 2's in Diamond in ones, which can be really, really confusing at times.

[@ethangalvan1137]

Ever since watching woody, ive adapted a similar playstyle at gc1-champ3 level. My record is 21 demos in 1 3s game. Ill ussually get around 7 demos on average during a twos or 3s game. People get so mad. Most fun ive ever had in gaming. Its hilarious.
