following squish for awhile now and am so proud that he was willing to talk about things like this. same thing happens to me. it pushed me from the game and im sure it pushes alot of people from the game. if there was just more positivity it would be great. negativity is contagious and is not good to be around.

[@SL33P3R.]

Just a tip to anyone that feels that way about a game. Just turn chat off, you will never know what anyone says to you. It's one of the best things they have added to alot of games.

[@beingandtime]

@@SL33P3R. yeah, I found that turning type chat off and just keeping team tactical quick chat on not only prevents me from coming across toxicity like this but also helps me to focus more on the actual game and, ultimately, play better.

[@ghad6799]

Counter toxicity. Commit physical play. Chances are they have worse anger issues than you, so you can exploit those early challenges. Work on mechanics. Tell your opponent to train more. Pisses them off everytime and ez win

[@austinrios4601]

just had a teammate call me the same thing after one goal, but that doesn't mean we give up. so i played it out and the teammate just sat there until he got dc'd. After he left the other guys let me win but the community does have to understand that its just a game. just because you may be on a losing streak doesnt mean its the end of the world. do better rocket league. we all 3 reported him so if he doesn't get banned ill be highly disappointed.

[@_puffy]

Rocket league is a competitive game and it can get frustrating. So beyond the baseline toxicity of the gaming internet, the dynamic of the gameplay and inherent stressfulness of the competitive nature is susceptible to breeding toxicity. I know I get frustrated when I grind, and whenever I feel tempted to get or start getting toxic (think sassy Nice Shot!), I know it's time to take a break. I have some tolerance for frustrated teammates.. I get it.. but there's no excuse for behaving like the way that person did. It says more about their character than anything, and it pays in dividends to take the high road and not humor it. Thanks for uploading this video Squishy. I'm not as familiar with you as some other pros, but I gained a ton of respect (and a new channel to subscribe to) for how you handled yourself here. I think you reflect how all professionals should practice their craft - with passion, understanding, and positivity.

[@JediKnight988]

[@yusow]

Honestly I think it's great that you're taking the time to open your heart and tell us about this, even though for most of us we already know that every person is affected to some degree by the negativity they encounter. As an NRG fan I'm so happy to have a player with such an admirable mentality, and even from our point of view (as an NRG supporter/fan) we come across extremely nasty comments towards you, and even if it's jokes it's hurtful because deep down the negative things are said even in jest. As an esport fan, I find it unhealthy the pressure that is put on players and teams, your journey is admirable (your individual journey, NRG's and all its players are too) and I think everyone would dream of it, but of course you can't stay on top forever, there are ups and downs like everything else in life (it's happened to all teams and players: dignitas, g2, c9, vitality, nrg, bds - turbopolsa, kaydop, violentpanda, you guys from NRG) but that means nothing, your talent is undoubtedly there, I too have hope for you and the team! Sending love ❤️ honestly as a fan of nrg and esport rocket league i would never shoot you for doing "bad" results or anything else, and by the way since as many of you as you, garrett or justin, it's so hard, i'd see it again and yet i'm having a hard time beating ssl to get to the top rank of the game So yes, you have to forgive the pros because you are up against so many formidable teams that to be 6th in NA is already extraordinary. Even if you want to be at the top, and we wish you that too! Love ❤️

[@miladhayat5915]

The toxicity in this game is actually crazy and the same can be said for the chat in RL Esport. It's like kicking people when they are mentally down anyways, because we all know loosing doesn't feel good. The last events, the NRG chat especially, was just slandering the boys and to hear that you stopped streaming and even thought of retiring is making me feel very bad for you. I'm just happy to see all three of you healthy and in beastform on the next weekend even if you guys get last it doesn't matter for me.

Man... It's so depressing and sad to see these kinds of things happen. If anything, it only shows the jealousy of some people, and even though I know that you already know that, it's really important to remember it - jealousy exists in people that want what you have. It's, although sadly, a part of the industry, and the only way to answer to these people, is not to answer to them at all, which you already did, and huge props to you squish! I've probably watched your rant at the end a couple of times now, and just knowing that you even thought about retiring because of trolls and dumb people is heartbreaking... I dearly hope to watch you lift that trophy again, and I know that I'm not the only one who thinks that way. What motivates me as a fan, is seeing you and the NRG squad succeed, whether it being in ranked on KZbin, or on stage at a LAN. I'm about to be 25 years old soon, just finished my bachelors degree in mechanical engineering, and through my lows the past couple of years - lows on my study or just life in general - I always got in a good mood whenever you had posted a new video, and it always calmed me down and took my mind off of things. With the bright charisma and atmosphere you radiate, I always feel welcomed and at ease watching you play. Just know that we appreciate you and will always support you, Mr. Muffin Man!

All I'm trying to do in that playlist is warm up, and I still get despised for making the smallest mistakes. I had NEVER been so frustrated in my life playing a game that I enjoyed so much.

Subconciously it maybe does have a effect when people write bs, but just not letting it get to you to much and keeping the good vibes up will always be the way to go. And the more people stand unite against toxicity the more will follow and hopefully some of the bullys one day realize that there are other ways than to bs other people online. Anyways thank you for being such a good role model to all of us and that your showing us what it does to you mentally espacially at such a young age, but also nowadays... Love always

That dude has nothing going for him in life. Happy people don't try so hard to upset others. Sad to watch

[@stephaneprivate1013]

Man don't be affected by those idiots, you're a legend of Rocket League and esport. I'll show my kids your Bo7 when you won RLCS with Cloud 9 one day. I'm French, I always rooted for Vitality and BDS but I genuinely felt happy when you won the trophy 🏆 and ever since Cloud 9 / NRG were the only NA teams I was supporting. You seem such a nice person I wish you all the best inside and outside RL Cheers from 🇫🇷

[@alegenda4390]

Thats why I never activated my chat in Rocket League

[@kevhook]

If someone starts getting toxic to me and gets under my skin (hard most of the time to not let it get to me) I’ll just remind myself that they are doing this for a reason, and it’s because they have low self-esteem and insecurity problems. What I always try to practice is staying true to myself and to not stoop to this level of immaturity, because these people have true issues that I hope they can work on and fix but it’s a waste of time to me to put any energy into it. Any anger I feel is fleeting and I’ll forget about an interaction an hour later, but they unfortunately have to live with whatever it is in them that makes them act like they do on a daily basis. You’re a good guy Squish and I hope you know it.

[@tinystar3010]

I've seen toxicity skyrocket immediately after Psyonix gave a punishment for leaving a casual match. No longer can you leave a toxic lobby without getting punished now, and since casual is now the same as ranked but with no incentive for staying, I've seen most people just play ranked only now. This game desperately needs its casual mode back that lets you leave if the lobby isn't fun to chill in. It's forcing people to stay in matches that are toxic because 99% of teammates never want to forfeit.

Me and my friend play standard, it’s just 2 of us and our 3rd teammate sometimes just stops playing and starts typing in chat.

[@TOBYSHERIDANWHITEPOWER]

@@salineaddict9850 uh why don’t you queue 2s? Its a meme at this point that parties of 2 ignore their random 3rd

[@salineaddict9850]

@@TOBYSHERIDANWHITEPOWER Smurfs. Diamond 1 is filled with them, sadly. And playing 3s take some pressure off my friend, who isn’t as good as me yet, but can play good in 3s. Putting him in 2s is kind of unfair.

[@raza.y]

Stay positive man and keep going. Ignore the trolls for the rest of us who admire your skill and achievements. Also great message to community at the end. It is a hard game & everyone makes mistakes. I remember I had less than 50 hours I was stuck in net just watching the ball & nice shotting everyone because I was amazed even at my opponents how they good they were, but they thought I was toxic and started saying how bad I am (at the time I didn't realize nice shot quick chat can be considered toxic to anyone). Told them I am learning and new to game they immediately apologized & realized their mistake.

[@Edvanderbie]

what you're saying at the end is so real. best of luck squishy and we love you man. thanks for being a light

[@ashllxyy2997]

just to clear up that was not me

[@Matthew-mv4er]

I love that you took the time to address this squish. The point is.. just.. be better than all that. People who act like that are only drinking their own poison and expecting someone else to suffer.

[@Bminister_12]

I was speechless when I saw that message, didn’t think SSL’s acted like that

[@blazikin]

theres a few who do this

[@nevarDski]

You didn't think SSL's acted like that? People in actual positions of power act like this, why wouldn't kids?

[@jonas8993]

yeah well, it's about people's persona, not skills. Of course, sometimes the amount of hours and skills affects how people act but. There's still sh*tty and good people everywhere

[@iskilii6877]

He’s obviously a troll but why should one word have more power to get someone banned then other words??? You can’t ban someone for swearing at kids on rocket league but can ban them for saying nigger then something ain’t right. Ban everyone or ban no one.

all of the props in the world to you, Squish. you're the GOAT for a reason. you kept a level head and even complimented the plays worth mentioning that the troll did correctly. Im gonna try to not let these things affect me as much in the future. I dont respond, but it always used to ruin the games for me. I appreciate you, big dawg.

[@lockwoodpatrick82]

Hey man, I've been following you and your career for a long time now, since the good 'ol days (pre muffin men even). Just wanted to let you know that the main reason I've stuck around, following you and your content, being a squishy fanboy (

[@2T_FRU1TY]

I’ve never seen anything like that either in RL 💔 i just want to give you a hug, because in ranked I’m champion and there’s a ton of these, and i just can’t help but to talk back but now I don’t response to any negativity and learn from you 👍❤️

[@denisehouck5766]

somethint i want to add is some days people have bad days whether it’s in real life or rocket league. and it’s no excuse for toxicness but i think we’ve all fallen victim to it a few times i love how squishy approaches it and still continues to compliment him through his rage though great job!

[@thegardens9221]

You know, when i first started playing rocket league a few years ago, i came across RLCS, that same RLCS that you won with C9 and you instantly became my favorite player. And as of this video you clearly are, and still, going to be my favorite player. Currently coaching a RL team at my local college and i make sure to pass the values of respect to my players. Keep it up Squishy!

[@BobbyDuwitz]

squishy harping on a simple troll comment for 15 minutes straight is exactly what the troll wanted lol.

[@NahNoWayy]

The troll got exactly what he wanted: to be viewed as a pathetic attention seeking neanderthal with a cratered skull 😂

[@kuafg]

Been watching you for years squish, not just because your a legend of a player, but you shine through as a great person. Happy people like you spreading positivity have a platform.

[@daproateverything3773]

He don’t know you lil bro 💀

[@halorl123]

your such an inspiration to me in rocket league, i love how you play and i respect your mental so so much, i find it hard to believe that your still so positive after someone said that to you and how you are still willing to say he did something good is really inspiring to me. keep up the great work ❤❤❤

[@ericraines3265]

As a parent (a sweaty try hard plat lol) I can tell you your videos are the gold standard of how a player should be to the game they love regardless of what game they play. Chase perfection but respect how you get there. My son hit diamond for the first time since he started a year ago, I started 2015 and only hit plat lol so kids are definitely better but need the positive coaching to get better at anything. Keep up the good work Squishy appreciate you!

[@Maenadsattack]

No, it’s good you uploaded it. I see the same thing, usually on weekends when people play with friends and try to get a reaction.

[@Willow_55]

ill always be a supporter man since day 1 of me finding nrg even if you do worse then the past ill still support and hope for the best :) i believe in you guys YOU CAN DO IT DONT STOP GRINDING!!

0:40 Squishy preaching more than just Rocket League, take notes people.

[@_mr3_]

Thanks dude, I like the timing of this. To me this issue extends to people that use negativity as what they see as a morally 'valid' tool in game too. While they've justified it in their minds morally, if they're honest then they have to acknowledge the potential to cause damage beyond what you'd expect with silence or positivity. It's easy to just say "toughen up", but you don't know the background or history someone's lived through on the other side, so you don't know how well or poorly even a reasonable person would receive and experience it. To use that kind of strategy to me is saying this is all morally ok. My issue w/it is that it's way more risky, and it's a slippery slope. And in the case of pros it a choice undertaken by a role model. It's what's been bothering me about RLCS in the last year too, it feels like a few pros are starting to introduce it to open competition. I don't want that happening without it also being called out for what it is.

[@glytch7752]

You did well to regain after that. Respect you, bro.

[@shiftace11]

this is why i play on new accounts from time to time. sometimes I just want to hop into a casual match, chill and take things easy. Casual players are more sweaty than ranked.

[@kingdub3874]

We love you squish. I hate how in sports when a great (and I mean GREAT) player gets shit on because they’re in a rough patch (and most of the time it isn’t even that rough of a patch, just lower quality to that player’s standards). You’re a great player squish, you’ve always been at the top of NA and no matter how you go on from now, you’ll have the support from the community.

[@JJSwiftProductionsanims]

Damn. I don't have much to add because all the comments probably already said what needed to be said. But hearing your voice in the end made me feel like I had to comment. Everything you said in this video is so true and we should be creating a better environment so the younger generation of players don't have to deal with the same nonsense you and many other long time players have experienced. Even if it's just by a little bit cause they'll def always be there. This ofc applies to everything as well.

[@YezJPKR]

Wow, this was a great video for me to watch. I just started getting into Rocket League more competitively and I know it can be toxic. Great job for not letting it get to you and setting a good example Squishy.
