If they make it ranked they shouldn't have a "lives" system in a FFA. Have a score: 2 points for getting a knockout, -1 for getting knocked out, -3 for knocking yourself out (otherwise you could deny other players knockouts?). This is how it works in fighting games where hits build up knockback, not entirely sure if it should function the same here, but seems like a better starting point than lives. Or everyone is just smart and targets the person with most lives left.

[@jacquespersonal]

Lol I was in a 2v1 of people who were queued together the other day and we were the final 3. I was annoyed that they were teaming so I camped under one of the bridges and kept grabbing them and throwing them into the ground every time they came after me and ended up clutching the 1v2. You better believe I was spamming what a save

[@dannyw5172]

Its all about timing, they say grab can be countered but only iff ur timing is correct. I'm a main grab and I get around the counter just by timing my grab when not expected Mind games are really important in this game mode

The problem is when you use block it cover your whole car where as attack only blocks that angle you attack at. Its a easy fix just make attack block all angles like block.

7:15 "there's no RNG" The game mode: literally rock, paper, scissors with cars.

[@Mike_Toreno]

well that's not rng (random number generator). That's ootppc (one of three possible player choices). rng depends on the programming software, ootppc depends upon your choice so it's not really random.

[@informalchipmunk5775]

@@Mike_Toreno it also depends on your opponent's choice on which you have no control so you can say that it is random.

[@SpacelandZoo]

@@informalchipmunk5775 not random at all. you can read people's movements and predict the outcome to a degree of success.

[@informalchipmunk5775]

@@SpacelandZoo well nothing is completely random, even computer RNG is just a really long string of digits. Yes you can predict humans very easily but when you are trying to predict a human who knows that you will try to predict him, it becomes significantly harder. Like a rock paper scissors game, if you note down the number of times you won a "tackle", and the total number of "tackles", their ratio or the empirical probability will come closer and closer to 1:3 the more times you do it. You may try to predict but if you really note down your observations, your predictions will work close to one out of three times which is the expected win ratio anyways.

Thats not what RNG is you Muppet 🤡🤡

The whole teaming up ruins it for me IMO, for any casual player that just wants to get some of the rewards which includs "win a game of knockout" you have to get very lucky to be in a solo q only lobby and even then it's hard, but any team lobby is instant gg. Very unfortunate way to ruin a good concept; I guess we want to punish people that have decided to keep playing casually over quitting.

[@Atlas.Brooklyn]

🤔

[@TheAwesomeGamer222]

Not tryna shit talk but what rank are you? If you’re below diamond this kind of makes sense since recoveries are king in this mode and diamonds are not known for their recoveries. I win maybe 1 out of every 4 games solo queuing and most games I lost isn’t to teams but a dude w a season 5 ssl tournament winner banner.

[@tycodj]

@@TheAwesomeGamer222 C3 - Grand champion & I even managed to complete my rewards again last season even tho I barely play. Casual players = people that play once or twice per week. The mechanics of this gamemode aren't described clearly in-game and it's currently a busy period for most uni students so I find it stupid to run into teams 3 out of the 5 games that I'm trying to win knowing I'll have to spend more time than I want to get some wheels I'd like to have. I can definitely make time & easily grind these rewards, but the point is that I'm a casual player by decision and being limited by random 3 stacks teaming up totally ruins my experience. I'd grind this stuff and maybe even the game itself over summer, but right now is just bad timing. Worst part is that i mainly play unranked since I'm a casual player so my unranked MMR is decent enough (1800-ish) to run into people with at least basic mechanics and gamesense so chances of winning are lowered as well.

[@AlgaeGaming]

@@tycodj Thankfully I don't think unranked MMR matters for this mode.

[@TheAwesomeGamer222]

@@tycodj you said something that we can both 100%. Rocket league did a dog shit job explaining the mechanics of this game. Had to literally google it before I could figure it out and even then didn’t realize you technically have 6 jumps until way later. I can see why running into teams is annoying but you have to realize this is only a limited time mode so its more like a “test” mode than anything. If they do end up adding it as a permanent mode they def can’t do teams but for limited only I don’t really mind it. Btw If you play on Xbox I’ll trade ya the wheels lol don’t really care for the rewards, play more for the mode itself

Yes, this mode could be really fun and refreshing. No, it isnt because apparently everyone on Europe is an absolute sweat and a GC in the new mode like 1h after it came out, which completely ruins it for casual players who want to try it out. Oh and then theres the fact that I still dont know how to grab because Psyonix is too fucking dumb to display a keyboard button instead of controller. Great job.

[@PhillipAmthor]

I play on pc with an controller and i can see controller buttons. Its not even an original xbox controller yet it still works. However change the grab button to accelerate and the break stun to boost and this game mode is easier. You will maybe notice that at the beginning attack is the most favorable. Mid game its grab. End game its attack and block because of the insta kill zone. Try to use air rolls and jumps before you use all your boost because without boost you die easier above the canyon. Try using rolls instead of boost while accelerating from far away because your rolls reset instantly when you touch the ground.
