Qwags Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Just picked it up two days ago, along with the Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth. Rocket League is more addicting than I anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish⑦Canuck Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I love Rocket League. I'm absolutely terrible at it though. Hover around Gold 2 or 3 most of the time but don't take it too seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 I think it's messed up that I created this thread in July 2015.....and here 2 years later it's still the game I play the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Played 4 games of this tonight, within 3 of which I was abused constantly OK, I know I'm not great. But telling me to kill myself or die is a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as bad up higher from what I've seen, but it's still there. Usually I have fun with it and tell people I love them, etc after they say kys or I'm trash. I ask them to be best friends with me instead. Usually they either change their mood and be nice, keep trashing, or just get weirded out and stop all together. It's pretty successful.

Monty Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Haven't played it. I want to, but I'm also not too interested in getting absolutely annihilated because I've never played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are unranked for those first 10, whether you go into 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or whatever. For the most part, it'll pair you up with guys around your level. Don't worry about getting screwed. Plus, there's an unranked mode if you really don't want to go ranked right away. Or you can play single player against CPUs in a little season mode.

-AJ- Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I expected this game to be a short stint for me, but it has turned into my most frequented competitive game in the past few months. I'm regularly practicing skills in my down time to improve more at the game. If there are any Steam players on here, I'd love to play some games, casual or competitive.

It's kind of the border between having fun and getting stressed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hit Diamond this week but I think that's more down to my friends than me. We have a pretty good understanding now of when to rotate / defend / go forward and not get caught out. I'm not a flashy player at all. I just batter it towards their goal from anywhere. No nonsense. Diamond you have to concentrate so hard it hurts. It's so intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond you have to concentrate so hard it hurts. It's so intense. Playing with friends you know and have chemistry with can really help. I have a mate I play Doubles with and I was able to get close to Platinum II, but I'm certain that if I played solo in Doubles, I'd drop further down to the edge of Plat and Gold. It also helps that he's more of a high Plat player, so he carries me a bit too. On your note of not being flashy, I'd assume that macro play is probably more vital in higher levels than mechanical abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
