[@FredMo]

Freestylers in 300MMR reacting with a complete lack of understanding regarding the MMR raise is just ridiculous. It's still smurfing even if it's your main account. If your opponent scores because you are freestyling and that's why you lose it's fairplay, but the 300MMR, even the 600MMR players don't even get a touch on the ball. I never watch any casual freestyler cause it's just embarassing. There are enough comp freestylers that we can support.

I don’t understand jt either. If the guy you’re clipping on can barely jump and boost, what is the purpose of him being there? You can just do it in a private match then. The new player being unable to touch the ball for the whole match just so you can record some clips is just sad

In game banning is completely broken. Bc the forfeit system is completely broken. I just finished my 7th ban, six months this time, just for being afk…. I dont text chat or voice chat or quick chat. I just go afk when my teammate goes afk and wont forfeit. And i get banned. Over n over n over. Adding the “Queue ban” in casual was when they messed up.

About the Alpha Boost incident, I still don't understand why Psyonix doesn't just rerelease the boost in the item shop or something to allow more players access to it. Everyone wants it, it'll make daddy Epic more money, people have been wanting this for years and would clearly pay heaps to just own the item.

[@edgeribble]

they will only do this if they never plan to reintroduce trading. They might bring back trading in UE5

[@hhaste]

That removes the whole point of it being an Alpha reward. They just need to replicate the sound on a different boost.

[@Tint728]

I do agree with the idea that it would benefit the company and the players, however, it would kinda defeat the whole purpose of it being a rare boost. In addition I don't think people who currently own Alpha boost (pros) wouldn't like it because then their item's value is going to be significantly lower than it was before.

[@davidkosiba624]

​@@Tint728Who cares when you have Bakkesmod lol

[@TheDarkbluerock]

The fact that they haven't done it already, is a slither of hope that trading will come back.

[@bipolarminddroppings]

Imagine if Ronaldo got banned from playing all football because he said something nasty to someone while having a kick about at a park. That's the equivalent of getting banned fro RLCS for "abusing" someone in ranked. It's dumb.

ITS CASUAL......IT DOESNT MATTER....IF ANYTHING, GOING UP AGAINST SSL'S AS GOLDS, IS A GOOD THING. SINCE ITS CASUAL, IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, YOU CAN LEAVE AND REQUEUE. CASUAL DOESNT MATTER. IF YOU DO, YOU CAN PLAY OPPONENTS YOU WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO, LIKE SKIPPING LEVELS AND BEATING THE BOSS. MAKE SENSE IDIOT? SO WHEN THESE IMBECILES AT @PSYONIX INSTEAD DECIDED TO PUNISH THE PLAYERS, FOR THEIR OWN MISTAKES, AND THEY DOUBLE DOWN INTO A BROKEN SYSTEM, ITS CLEARLY A DEFLECTION FROM A VIOLATION OF THAT TOS ON THEIR END, AND THEY ARE INSTEAD METASTISIZING DISTRACTIONS SO YOU MOVE FORWARD AND DONT REALIZE THEIR ABUSE.

"What you can achieve in the game mechanically" Yeah most of the time with unlimited boost or bronze defenders which at that point you may as well just do freeplay. Pro players are the peak of mechanics lets be real, they have both the fundamental mechs and the flashy mechs except on actual defenders.

[@reed6514]

They should start with a stern talking to before banning for bullying.

I want to play competitively in this game but i said some horrible things in ranked years ago and it still causes me anxiety that it might cause me a life of playing a real fun game

[@Kris5x3]

no one will dig up years worth of ranked chats lol, youll be fine

[@TheAwesomeGamer222]

Probably an unpopular take but I really do think most of these bans have been a case of overreach. There is a reason RL has almost as many bans as other games who’ve been around for twice as long. Banning players for a year for playing one month before they turn 15 is not only unproductive but I’d argue harmful for the pro scene (especially considering they went ahead and dropped the age to 13). Teams wouldn’t want to team with a young kid unless they were a prodigy. It’s seems to me that it is never a clear advantageous case of cheating like wall hacks or aimbot which should be banned.

[@amyglynn6827]

but its not fair for other teams to play against someone who isnt signed and isnt who they thought they were playing against. imagine you and your team have done a lot of prep for a game, watching VODS, analysing gameplay, everything, and then you go against someone who youve never seen play and shouldnt be allowed to play. its just simply not fair for the other team. a year ban might be too long but they deserve some sort of punishment.

[@TheAwesomeGamer222]

@@amyglynn6827 I agree with you 100%. It what I meant by overreach. We want to discourage such behavior since as you pointed out it is not fair for the opposing team. I think a much more fitting punishment would have been a multiple game suspension for the whole team and not just the individual player since this would discourage a team from even considering it. If IRL sports with millions on the line don’t ban players for a full year for similar offenses, I doubt psyonix should either.

[@Slimmeyy]

@@TheAwesomeGamer222 The whole team does get suspended if they know what's going on.

[@bipolarminddroppings]

5:00 So Psyonix made a bad format, players tried to take advantage of the bad format, they got banned. Again, thats dumb. You made the bad format.

[@BussinCheugy]

YOU FAIL TO ACCOUNT FOR THE PEOPLE AND COGNITION RATIONALIZING THESE DECISIONS.....REMEMBER WHAT GOALS, PRIORITIES, AND WHO THEY TRULY CARE ABOUT. FACTOR IN THE SOCIAL ASPECTS OF THESE DECISIONS, USING THE RECENT TIMELINE OF POLITICAL AND REAL WORLD EVENTS, LOOK AT WHOS CONTROLLING PSYONIX AND EPIC, AND THEN ASK YOURSELF, DOES THIS BEHAVIOR CORRELATE WITH THE EXPERIENCE I AM SEEING. :) THIS IS CALLED FEINGNED INCOMPETENCE, ABUSE OF POWER, AND BASED ON CONSUMER LAWS, "AN UNMARKETED EXPERIENCE" AND "FAILURE TO PROVIDE INSURANCE." IE, WE EXPECT TO PLAY CAR SOCCER, NOT BE IN A DIGITAL PRISON WITH SABOTEURS FOR 10 MINS EVERY MATCH.

btw keep an eye out for mod jeb types aka devs corruptly stealing and RWT using dev powers to recover hack acc's and generate loot practically every game has one dev doing this the free stylers are actually showcasing how epic the skill cap can be to new players its not like OW2 where its a clusterfuck of smurfs its way less bad in rocket league even with free stylers rather than push players away they see how cool the game can be, as long as its ranked its not really a problem

[@Lensquik]

as a grand champion 2, this is a terrible idea, in ranked or casual, not everyone has the "CoD trickshotting" value in playing games, a lot of people play it for other reasons, only if epic made a 3rd playlist specifically for freestylers queuing rather than having them play against bronze players, it would make sense as they would face each other
