Dear Rocket League community, I hope you all hate the Kalos as much as me, worse than any other wheel!
I hate that map for sure, but selecting the arena you want for training and being able to go straight to it from a match is the best part for me. QOL improvement plus removing a step. Love it. If it was Wasteland removed however...
So I can buy he white ones cheap.

Been offered 45 keys for them so far. Debating what to do, though I can't trade them until 1pm tomorrow anyway.

maybe i'm just wrong, but whenever someone has a super offensive name on my team i just sit there and give us the loss. i just can't stand that shit.
on the flipside, people will just trash talk to no end and then it gets under my skin when i'm having a shitting streak of games and i say hateful shit just to try to get back at them, so i s'pose i'm not even any better than the people with the names. this game man

That's a lot. I don't think these will get extremely high but I've been wrong plenty of times so who knows. That's a hell of a lot of keys though.

had an idea while playing 1v1's. A team duel mode. Similar to King Of Fighters teams of 3 or 4 take turns playing and spectating one v one matches. First goal wins the set and eliminates the loser. Winner stays on till he is eliminated and the loser joins the spectators. The match ends when one side's players are all eliminated. Thoughts?
Well, looks like I can make posts now. My favorite Dropshot so far: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/617r25/droppush/
I'll never play it with randoms.

Man, I'd flip those in a heartbeat for that many keys. Wait for a week or two and then you could buy just about anything you want.

The market on this game is so ridiculous lol. People paying over 100 keys for 20xx which will become common within a week or two. Gotta say I'm surprised since its honestly the ugliest decal I've ever seen. I'll be surprised if it actually ends up popular after the craze dies.
I got into some games over the last couple nights after almost a year away and every time I was getting lag and the bad connection icon. I'm playing only servers on my coast. Did something change? It used to be flawless, not sure what happened. Is there some trick you guys know about that I'm missing?
I have a kid now and this would be perfect for the little time I have, would love to play again.

Won all but one of my placements, get put in Silver...
...And teamed with straight up garbage every match since so now all the way down to Bronze. I cannot carry when it basically 3v1 with how my TM's constantly try and steal and stuff my plays, or at best they just drive up my ass because they too slow to steal, but that effectively makes it 2v1 as my TM just a waste being there.

Oh fuck me. Finally get ranked and it's Gold Division 1. That's like being given Challenger 1 all over again! Doesn't help the game is crashing and hard locking when starting ranked matches sometimes either.
Placement matches were so rough for me, I constantly got paired with semi-pro and pro players against team of three rocketeers. They couldn't even properly touch the ball. But I still somehow got placed in silver.
I hope I'll at least get to high platinum this season, maybe even diamond.
You sure it's not your fault?

I am so bad at 1v1. It's clear mechanically I am better than the people I end up playing against because if I don't blow a lead 3 goal in the last 30 seconds I end up winning by 7. It's highlights all my flaws that hold me back. Shit at kick offs, terrible boost management,, indecisive, lack of confidence, bad awareness and placement. I have 1400 hours in this game and I'm still so bad but I love it playing it. I need to knuckle down in training and stay away from so much casual. I need to break a lot of hard wired bad habits.

I know that feeling. It's hard for me to play 1s because it magnifies my flaws so much more than 2s. Doesn't help that I love the air and it's hard to succeed at even a moderately high level with that in 1s. I appreciate 1s more than I used to, though. It's a great form of training once you get used to the stressful nature of it.

You and me both. I find duels frustrating though. I don't know why either, something about the game mode is less fun to me, but I quite enjoy watching them. I definitely need to put more time into ranked though to improve. We have very similar play times too. I do hope to get a lot better this season and playing less casual mode will likely be a part of that.
However with that said, I've been on the verge of dropping this game for quite a while due to the server issues and the situation right now is really not helping. The down time has been off the charts lately to the point I'm probably not even going to bother trying to boot it up on a weekend. The game is so good but the servers recently haven't been good enough to even recommend the game to people right now. It's so frustrating being psyched up to improve but being met with constant down time.

Looking forward to when randoms figure out how to play Dropshot instead of chasing the ball 100% of the time.
Granted playing Solo Standard today there are still people who don't understand positioning and rotation, so I ain't holding my breath.

Crate money goes into esport. Nothing left for the servers.What the hell has been up with the servers recently? Every time I hop on they seem to be down
I am so bad at Dropshot, the mode looks fun but I'm having a difficult time. Like everyone else has said, a lot of ball chasing... so every time I think of hitting it, someone flies out of nowhere and hits it away. If people played it more like volleyball and stayed on their sides, then it could be fun. But right now it's just chaotic.

Dang that is nice. How much do these new crates go for now? I have one but wondering if I should save it or trade it now.
Mike Works

Sell it ASAP if you don't mind waiting for items. Crates were worth 4 keys opening day, now they're down to 1-1.5 keys. If you sell it now, you'll be able to get multiple crates for 1 key in a week or less.
Noted, I thought they just came out, damn.
Mike Works

They did just come out on Wednesday, but crate values drop hard after a few days, then level out after a week. The same can partially be said for crate items, though they don't drop as fast, and some of them don't drop at all.

Made a cool realization looking through my season rewards just now. Progress. Much slower than I wished it was but every season I get a little closer to champion. Hopefully this is the one.

I'm pretty sure I held off on that one just to get that specific crown lol.

Well that's my 10 placement matches in Solo Standard. Now to never touch that mode again! Seriously though the MM isn't in a much better state than it was at the start of Season 3 at least in that mode. I don't care if I get matched up against champs, but for the love of god don't give me a semi-pro, it's completely impossible to work around if only one team gets somebody so new to the game.

anyone else getting worse performance on PC since the update? doesn't look as smooth and looks like there are more jaggies on screen. i'm running at 1800p downsampled to 1080p monitor. might need to edit the file again. but other than that there are some frame drops and the game sometimes crashes when i edit in game settings.

Been placed in a division which is far too high for me. I guess I'll appreciate the wheels, and it'll be a good learning experience - but it's not gonna be fun eating up those L's for the foreseeable future.
Thanks! I was hoping the esports button on the main menu was more than a link to twitch.

Next big thing I want is spectating and replays. I want to be able to watch live tournaments and High level ranked matches. And a replay channel to watch last ten matches etc.

Yep that was my rank in two's after 8 wins 2 losses.
I started out in Plat 1, won a couple of matches and reached Plat 3 Div 2, lost three and now I'm Plat 2.

Thought the patch notes said they fixed the Rocket Genocider achievement but it's still glitched at 99% for me.
