Farming money would look different. At the moment Epic is struggling to even be profitable. If Epic was farming money, it wouldn't gift out new games every week on the Epic Games Launcher. To me it looks more like Epic is letting Rocket League die slowly but steadily, which is a shame as well.

[@nachorap3883]

Very true bud, most of my opponents play like they're Grand Champs in Diamond. And many of the players are very toxic, which I really hate. I'm just starting to miss old Rocket League. Because of this, I'm stuck in Diamond, without any chances of going to Champ. I even retired from this game for 1 year, but thankfully I came back. Now I'm just playing for fun, without caring of my rank.

[@Stadtfeldi]

I can't flip reset consistently for the life of me, but I can make it to Grand Champ every season by having a really solid defense. You make a good point that a lot of players tend to practice their shot-making and not their shot-defending, or learning how to abuse their hitboxes in 50-50s, etc etc. It really goes a long way... especially in 2s and 3s. Learn tight and proper rotations and defending shots and you'll be so annoying to the enemy team.

[@faze_tweak4979]

Yeah but for people like me. I play the game to be insane mechanically. The game isn’t fun to me otherwise

[@jankoo285]

I agree with the guy who said about fun. Sure I could play like lethamyr ‘coaching’ where you basically hit a ball ones every 15 seconds and the other time you observe and position yourself. But then it’s really not fun, I’m not mechanically insane, I also don’t troll in aka going for clips every shot. But just playing more active/fast and if opportunity rises do something cool like flip reset or double tap, is just more fun even though truly pointless in ranks below like GC2.

[@cosmicgrim7963]

I can hit c3 and get close to gc. The reason is im good at defense. My goal scoring is very standard, ground play is standard, but my defense is a solid brick wall. I trained defense back when I was d3 and it's always stuck with me. Once in a while, I'll have a super great night and just pop off on offense.

[@Kryxx07]

I'm an old man (for RL) and do ZERO advanced mechanics, but am usually C1/C2. I just make up for it with game sense, teamwork, speed, and solid rotations. It's how I operate in any competitive game. I'll never compete with the kids on reaction time or aim; have to defeat them with superior strategy instead.

[@Sumatoa]

I think the difficulty to maintain your rank is just cause less people play and thus the people that GENUINELY grind the game, be it smurfs or just casual-competitive players, all get bumped into more rounds for a feel.

I guess it always happens with online multiplayer games where the playerbase will thin out into only the most dedicated/the elite

[@mnstrtrckkd]

So glad the shift in skill is being acknowledged. Solo players since Xbox release in 2016. I have never seen such a massive shift in the ability of opponents and teammates. Maybe a benefit, maybe to my detriment, but it certainly makes the game hard to “move up” if you’re playing casually.

[@wildcat31772]

I was noticing the same thing when i fired the game up for the first time in a few seasons. Defense and basic fundamentals were completely gone in favor of everyone just mostly failing flip resets and musty's. I miss the days before everyone just dickharded the mechanics they see pro's reliably do in lieu of actual good play.

I’m a pred in Apex which is the highest rank and I’m no noob on controller and I practiced for hours on rocket league but I feel the game has gotten so sweaty that a casual player can’t have any fun. As a literal level 1 player I’m playing against people juggling the ball through the air. Most games I’m just driving around watching the ball fly in every direction and no getting to touch it once. It’s just boring and to actually have any fun I have to grind hours and hours of practice in free play to even begin to have fun. This game is going to die if as a new player you just don’t have fun because you can’t compete with anyone even in pubs.

[@orbital1337]

The "good at offense and bad at defense" thing is actually a direct consequence of skill based match making. If you see someone who is better at you at something, say offensive mechanics, but who is at the same rank as you, that means they must also suck at something to balance out their strength. Whenever I see someone who is clearly better mechanically than me, I generally assume that (a) their defense sucks (b) they ballchase and misrotate (c) their mentality sucks or some combination thereof. Otherwise they'd already be 200 MMR higher than me.

The worst part of all of these changes, I can’t hit a ‘need boost’ after I screw up anymore

[@Bananamelonlol]

Not even joking, just yesterday I missed like 2 saves in Heatseeker, my tm8 called me and my friend "useless teammates", we proceeded to carry him to the win, and he just said "you're still useless, go back to barbie" lmao

"But if you look right here under the ball" is almost as wild as prejumping an entire family tree.

[@adamwalpole1180]

You are right. Every game I’m literally fighting for my life. It’s brutal. One lapse of concentration and you’re scored on. You have to access the play with so much detail. Read what your opponent is doing, understand where your teammates are. I was diamond last season, yet I now cannot get out of plat.

idea for next rlbs or something lmao. the commentary and production team believe the game ended so they cut back to the desk and start talking about the series as if it’s over. they then get word the ball actually never hit the ground and was still up. v e r y intense. also just picture twitch chat screaming at the analysts that the ball is still up and it’s just looked at as a troll by the desk like yea ok guys, the balls still up yea right, get real. i fucking love you sunless.

I haven't played in like 4 years so wanted to see what had changed, interesting to see it's exactly the same only with no trading and now includes hackers.

My favorite thing in RL is blocking a clipper and then having them completely whiff when I shoot the most basic shot. Absolutely beautiful.

The amount of sarcastic anger constantly emanating from this video is hilarious

[@misterros94]

The irony of highlighting how the player base always blames their teammates... in a public video of blaming teammates with over 2 million subscribers lol. Still love sunless

Inspiration for those who want it. *TLDR*: You need to improve faster than other people who want to improve. Not just improve. Thats what a lot of people including me never got told. Thats why you are not ranking up. !!!BIG TEXT BLOCK INCOMING!!! Just play 1v1 with only team chat enabled and think about what you’re doing, you get better faster this way and because your thinking about what your doing your rank improves immediately anyway, in 1v1 everything is your fault, shut up about high ping, “rw9” exists and “dark” the mechanical mastermind also exists, its your fault, get better. Have a better mental than these cheese sauce sweating geeks, or you’re on their same level, or maybe even worse, no excuses, you cant just play the game and expect to improve faster than everyone around you. You are not hard stuck, your not improving faster than everyone else anymore like in gold and plat where people arent invested in the game and dont care about getting better. You won in a staring contest that no one else was really trying to beat you in. Now to see if you can improve faster than people who want to improve. Play 1s and there is no excuses, you played worse than your opponent because you let the opponent score more than he let you score, thats it. Nothing else. Im gc 1 in 2v2, c3 in 1v1 on xbox series x 60hz monitor. If i have more excuses than you and im gc, why are you not?

I think its worse now, either i get teammates who always go for the ball and quit within 1 minute or i go against smurfs who are purposely dropping ranks just to kick my ass in gold 😂
