*** Rocket League *** Car Football

It's more than likely the RL servers. They tweeted yesterday that Google's GAE cloud service was having issues, so that may have affected you.

To be honest RL servers can be hit and miss at times. My ping is normally low and I sometimes get rubberbanding etc in it. Other games are fine.
 
Sadly I get that sort of desync every so often as well. Really annoying. Checked game files checked server ping for spikes/packet loss. Nothing is wrong in the connection or local files so I assume it's just unlucky servers every so often. Even on the "bad" servers I don't get any packet loss or ping spikes.

Well saying that the actual servers are set to ignore requests so I don't get any info at the last hop. Could be packet loss there I guess.
 
Decided to start playing 3v3 again yesterday, and really struggling with team mates. Made it up to Gold II (from Silver IV) before plummeting back to Silver IV after loads of team mates who can't even hit a jump shot with a run up (and I don't mean a one off sadly).

I often say if I'm consistently losing it can't just be the team mates but last night it really felt that was the case. One round I had 580 pts whilst team mates had 30 and 50 respectively, was even letting them get first hit (or attempted).

I mean, I'm not the best - but there are some really bad people.

My biggest pet peave though is the 1-0 quitters, who gives up that quickly?

I've not found many of these to be fair (although one or two suggested FF after 1-0) my biggest is the people who spam 'What a save!' when you don't manage what would've been a really impressive save. Had a game yesterday where me and one other had 3 'formal' saves each and the other guy had 0. I'll let you guess which one spammed what a save each time the other team scored :p

Edit: Don't get me wrong I'm not the best player but I try not to be toxic and will 'Sorry!' if I mess up and 'No Problem!' if others do... When I was Gold III in Duo I noticed the toxicity massively drop away. Lower gold and silver seems awful for it.
 
I find the consistency and skill of teammates vary wildly around Gold 2/3. You can get one game where you have 1 or 2 teammates are godlike and you really click with them, not toxic and fun to play with. The next game they are potatoes, ball chase like their life depends on it and give you grief if you miss a shot/save. There's no arguing with them.

Also on the other side of it I sometimes hesitate to try and take the lead on our team with poorer teammates as they tend to ball chase, and we'll just get in each others way, then inevitably blame me lol. I mean I have just over 600 hours logged and I still have the odd bad game, but i'm not a dick about it and i'll apologise if i mess up.

I'm glad its not just me who's having this when I play. Its irritating that I'm generally high silver/low gold (really goes all over depending on team) and people complain when the team doesn't win or didn't make that awesome air save/shot etc... We're lower level players! Of course we're going to be slightly crappy otherwise we'd be a good rank. :rolleyes:

But don't forget that often you'll get the odd amazing players appearing at that rank too. TBH I think a lot of golds are there because they can do amazing shots but lack the consistency to do so all the time. I'd probably consider myself the lower end of that, can do some fairly decent aerial shots but will miss the odd one too.

Has got me wondering if it would be worth seeing if anyone wants to play RL on discord. Although I'd feel much worse making a mistake and letting someone down who chose to play with me vs a random :D

I've found this a lot recently. I hover towards the bottom of Platinum, but playing while.. drunk (ish ;)) across categories has dropped me down. Only 2's have I managed a full recovery, but having two team mates that are potatoes is too hard.
 
Cant stop playing this game! Its literally all I play now! I still suck though which is frustrating me... I keep catching myself doing stupid stuff.

I haven't really got a chance of getting plat this season, so I've been trying to get all my playlists up to gold. Just duel left to go now :P I'm actually enjoying 1v1 for the first time too which is nice.

Maybe I'll try and get all my playlists up to gold 2 by the end if I can make gold in dual tonight.
 
After what felt like eternity grinding in ranked I made it to Plat 1 last night in 3's! :D Very happy right now, I have definitely been playing better recently and the training is paying off.

I don't think i'll be making Diamond though :(

I'd be up for playing if people were on. Although I find when playing with friends or people I know I'm the opposite, its a lot more fun to laugh at each other being bad than listening to randomers rage.

Which discord do people use?
