[@thundercloud280_]

I’ve been trying to get my dad into rocket league recently and he’s currently in Bronze, so I’ve been able to see what it’s like in Bronze nowadays with my very own eyes. There’s probably as many own goals as there are regular goals. Sometimes my dad misses kickoff completely even though all he does is boost to the ball. He will also occasionally drive up to the ceiling on and start spinning out of control. He doesn’t attempt flips often, but when he does, it’s usually single jump flips. At some point, I found out that he didn’t know how to double jump. There was another time he got into a Rule 1 with a teammate. He does not know about Rule 1 but he still didn’t break it because he didn’t know how to back up. He plays as if he’s never played a video game in his life before, even though he’s beaten Elden Ring. In most competitive games I’ve seen, there was usually at least one person who went AFK or left the game for no reason. My dad actually won his first placement match because the whole team left in under a minute. I’ve seen smurfs in casual but I don’t think I’ve seen one in competitive yet. Forfeiting is not common, but it does happen. I’ve also seen a 1v1 go to a 0-0 OT, which is something that didn’t think I’d ever see. In all, Bronze is a train wreck, but it’s a beautiful train wreck.

[@Zel-Veraan]

I actually laughed out loud at the fact that he's beaten Elden Ring but can't drive in a straight line. But hey, if he's having fun, so be it.

Same, bro. Same. I felt like I couldn't be worse than anyone. I kept playing with easy AI offline, which I enjoyed. Here you can score (and win) just by doing the kickoff right!

Didn't know quite what to expect, but this was legitimately interesting and wholesome. It's easy to forget that some people treat RL like any other game and are just having fun figuring it all out. That said I'd gladly take Spinach over half the platinum teammates I've solo queued with any day, as he didn't bail the nanosecond you were down one goal.

[@Viranical]

the bailing when down a goal is actually so bad now, it's gotten to a point where I've had teammates vote ff on tied/winning games because they didn't like something I did, and then watched them turn the match into a 3v1, not even like they played bad, but full on joined the other team's rotation to attack our net

[@moosewhizzerdave2066]

The frequency of how often that happens astounds me. It worries me a little too. I'm an old geezer of 57, a Gold III solo cue 3v3 player, so almost all my tm8's and opponents are kids by comparison. The level of "quit" in some of these kids scares me. Have they never fought for a comeback? Do they quit on things that matter in life as easily as they quit on a video game that doesn't matter? I hope not. As a kid I played a LOT of pickup football, hockey, baseball, basketball games. There were one or two kids in the neighborhood who would more or less quit when things got tough. To me that made the game interesting - now there was something to overcome. And if your opponent was the "quitter", you knew where to go with the next play...and you knew whom you never wanted on your team. And speaking from experience, the quitter attitude - that translates fully into real life issues later on. Want to know the secret to ranking up? Here it is. Make sure your team scores first. If you can go up 2-0, even though there is 4:30 remaining in the game, you can rest assured that at least one player wants to FF.

[@tedjovel1876]

@@tedjovel1876 I played four games this afternoon. Game 1 - player bailed when we were down 2-0 with about 4 minutes left. Game 2 - player was DOA, never started, so it was a 2v3 the entire game. Game 3 - player bailed right off the bat, then returned, we won. I assume he returned because of a warning note he saw when he bailed, because his ping was fine. Game 4 - player was DOA, never started, he bailed immediately, another 2v3. I had enough at that point.

When I watch your videos I dont feel like wasting my time, but I feel like chilling and being entertained (something that I cant say about gaming as a whole). You inspired me from before I started playing rocket league till I quit the game 3 years after and you are still my favorite gaming content creator! Thank you!

[@Rocket_Sledge]

Thank you! Unfortunately "most mature audience" is not a recipe for major success on this platform! But I pride myself in trying to stand out as a bit different and in my own lane. Appreciate you continuing to watch!

[@OneBorko]

​@@Rocket_Sledge Ye, the platform is kinda bad if you want to make actual quality content, the amount of young audience that has too much free time is wayy bigger in percentage than the mature one, therefore the people who get the most success are the ones who make videos aimed at that audience the most, that's why I barely watch gaming videos anymore. Thats also why I admire your editing style and the way you make your videos, you make them super interesting and people of all ages enjoy them!

The most wholesome experiences I've had in RL was back before F2P and I was still in Gold. Better players would give encouragements and helpful tips to improve my game.

[@Tyler.McGrath]

I started playing in November of 2021 and placed at Bronze. I think it was mostly due to not understanding the strategy and my depth perception of the ball being terrible.

@@leonleon9294 i think the point of the joke is to do a reference to well known lines we read often in comment like "they are not SSL, i'm sure that i can beat them" by overconfident dudes who are just diamond, but of course the same line with opposite order ranks has no sense and is funny:p

[@vytarien]

I wish I could've ran into Spinach. I'm an amateur coach and would totally spend time helping him learn some of the fundamentals and see how far I could take him. Either way, you should hit him up again at 100 hours (maybe more) and see where he's at then.

[@GoaterKensei]

It’s a bit random but is it possible if u could train me? My goal is to reach ssl / rlcs pro lvl mechanics and game sense. My two friends and I wanna make a team eventually, Yagi. Plz consider it i think it would be a big help for me if u do tho my epic name is Goater-Kensei

[@dangerdude5284]

I started playing when season 5 first began. I was bronze when the season ended. Now with season 6 ending off soon, I'm a silver. It felt like I've grown and understand the game a bit more. Now with season 7, I'm hoping for gold or higher

[@Zel-Veraan]

Spend silver and gold learning the game. Just like Sledge said, new players get dumped in those ranks so you could get people with skills from plat who've deranked, or total noobs on your team. Just have fun, and learn for each game you play as you build muscle memory for what works and what doesn't.

[@diowolf456]

that's the mindset to have, man. i used to relate now im working on diamond. good luck!

[@supportsniper4626]

I started in season 2 and I was improving about your pace and now I am diamond 2, so just keep practicing and having fun and you'll get there!

[@skywayve7473]

No matter the rank, the growth mindset is the best thing to possess. Even in my currently GC2 2v2 games, my mindset is still growing my skills to equal that of SSLs. Reminding myself of this constantly helps my mental

[@quimystic]

Yeah, good luck, I'm gold and started playing properly in season 5, but mainly in lower ranks just enjoy playing the game :)

[@SuperKarKid]

I’m pretty much brand new to rocket league. I’ve played sideswipe, but I have exactly no skill in the real game. My brother and I join lobbies together and it’s nothing but chaos. Often times, playing with other bronze players is really fun. It brings out the best in the game, even if we know next to nothing.

[@JAYGMES]

Sounds like the most chill kid to play rocket league hope he can get better and work up the ranks

[@GRAYgauss]

When he was telling THE Rocket Sledge about exterminations, I just had to laugh. "Oh I know a bit about those." Also Rocket Sledge: Gained Respect++ for showing respect and being gracious. I don't really play anymore, but still loving your videos!

Thank you sir!

I've been playing RL since the beginning and was Silver/Gold every season until a couple seasons ago. I've got something like 8k hours in. I like gaming as an old dude but I definitely drive like an old lady.

[@breeze.]

I started playing in Season2 Free to play... after placements I was silver, but I deranged really quickly to bronze... after a whole season struggling, I reached Silver 3... in Season 3 I reached Plat 1 and now I am dia1-3... I don’t play that often and only for fun.

[@bannah6400]

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
