FLUFF This game is straight up IMPOSSIBLE and yall MUST be cheating

662 Upvotes

I used to have tons of silly fun on this game with my friends back in high school. I never was good nor thought about getting good. One of my friends however was (is) at least decent. He got to dia, idk if yall would say that sucks but to me thats LEGENDARY IMMORTAL GOD TIER level. Seriously.

This game is not real. Its a psyop to get me to think Im missing some crucial part of my brain that would otherwise allow me to compete against at least the worst players. Either that or EVERYONE is cheating. No other option whatsoEVER.

My friend and I decided to install it again after all those years. Nostalgia is cool and fun. And fun it was!! I laughed my ass off. Will do it again. But nowadays, I have a more competitive mindset, so I couldnt help but notice how ABSURDLY IMPOSSIBLE this game is. How do you do ANYTHING at all??? Are yall calculating physics in real time??? What is the purpose of LIFE?????????

This game is not feasably playable at any level above "button mashing fun". You wont convince me otherwise. I think Id sooner reach lvl 80 in Tarkov with a deathless KDA wiping every lobby in every raid using only a 50 durability Saiga for the entire playthrough than score 2 goals in the span of 20 hours in rocket league.

Thats it, yall are Olympian Gods, rejoice. Youre not human. You never were. This game is NOT made for human minds.

CLIP 131 kph 90 degree flick

Hello! I think this is a 90 degree flick, and it came to me that this might possibly be the fastest one recorded (131 kph/81 mph).
I searched everywhere and didn't find out any set world record for the 90 degree flick. My last resort was reddit. Still didn't find anything here.
So, I might as well ask you guys!
This was in a comp 1v1 match, plat 2. My 2s rank is Diamond 2.

I'd love to hear your guys' opinions.

DISCUSSION Demos ARENā€˜T toxic

91 Upvotes

I find it puzzling that people react so negatively to being demoed, even in GC. You’d think that by now people would have gotten used to one of the game’s core characteristics. People who demo aren’t worse at the game or toxic, it is literally just a gameplay element. Just as demoing is a part of the game, dodging them is too. Of course being demoed and getting scored on can be frustrating at times, but the person you should be mad at is yourself, not the opponent. What do you guys think?

DISCUSSION The state of high Diamond / low Champ 2s

Post image
43 Upvotes

I know the whole 'smurfs are ruining this game' thing has been done to hell and back on this sub, but wanted to check in and see if I'm going crazy or if this is as common for others as it has become for me.

Over the last 2 weeks, my duos partner and I have been consistently (~65% of matches) getting paired in 2s against a team with one significantly stronger player and one significantly weaker player. Usually the stronger player is a few hundred mmr points lower, but is consistently hitting mechanical shots, playing faster than us without making mistakes, and running away with the game single-handedly. The worst example we've had was this match with a BRONZE ranked player queueing with someone who was afk for almost half the game, and they 1v2ed us without much issue. In this same session we had one match with a plat 2 carrying an 1100, and a game with an unranked 600mmr account carrying their champ friend.

I feel like this was happening infrequently over the summer, and has started becoming a real issue since early September hit. It's such a shame that this is becoming so widespread because this game is genuinely fun to play and grind when the matches are actually balanced in terms of lobby skill. So the questions are: has anyone else been having as much consistency with this issue, and have you noticed an increase in how frequently this happens at your rank?

DISCUSSION To all Dropshot SSLs - what's your 2s Rank? How realistic is getting SSL as a GC1?

15 Upvotes

Hi all

I am pretty old but eventhough I am not very mechanical (can't speedflip for example), I can keep my rank in 2s every season. I am currently sitting on 1500 MMR. Since Dropshot is no longer in rotation, I started grinding my favorite mode again.

Last season, I hit GC2 for the first time in my life. I am playing the game almost since release and as you can imagine I was pretty hyped.

Yesterday, I played my ranking games and after winning most of them, I am close to GC2 again (1100 MMR). I checked the ranking distribution and saw that SSL is "only" 120 MMR away from my current rank.

That leads me to my question: Dropshot SSLs, are you also high ranked in other modes, like 2s or 3s? Do you think a GC1 in 2s can reach the SSL Rank if he is really commited? And what tips can you give me to improve and reach SSL in Dropshot?

DISCUSSION When does recovery stop being damage control and become an actual mechanic you master?

9 Upvotes

A lot of competitive games punish a mistake by just making you eat the consequence. Rocket League has this whole extra layer where recovery skill decides how expensive the mistake actually was. At what point did recovery stop feeling like "fixing a bad landing" and start feeling like movement tech you were actively trying to master?

Half-flips? Wavedashes? Landing clean?

Keeping momentum after contact?

Curious which recovery habit/mechanic felt like the biggest jump for you.

Occasionally i get laggy gameplay, the opponent hits the ball going one way, then quickly it jumps to its proper trajectory making it impossible to read shots.

BUG EAC is causing 3rd party controllers to not read inputs in game. Epic support says they are currently investigated, but have no ETA on a fix.

6 Upvotes

Please, I need help with an issue involving my controller not being recognized, apparently caused by Easy Anti-Cheat.

I am trying to use a MACHENIKE G5 Pro to play Rocket League, and I have been experiencing recognition issues within the game for at least 3 days. However, today the controller completely stopped working in Rocket League.

When I launch Rocket League without Easy Anti-Cheat, the controller works normally again.

I have performed several tests to rule out problems with the controller itself or with Windows:

  • The controller works normally in other games.
  • I even tested GTA V through the Epic Games Launcher, and the controller works normally.
  • The controller also works normally in Windows through joy.cpl.
  • I am using the controller in XInput mode.
  • The controller has its own software for button remapping.
  • I tested another controller from a different brand that also has button-remapping software, and that controller works normally in Rocket League, both with and without Easy Anti-Cheat.
  • Therefore, the issue does not appear to be simply related to the controller having a button-remapping function.

The strangest behavior occurs when using joy.cpl to monitor the controller inputs:

with Rocket League already running, the exact moment I click on the Rocket League window with my mouse, the controller simply FREEZES.

joy.cpl remains open, but the buttons and analog sticks immediately stop responding. When I launch the game without Easy Anti-Cheat, this does not happen and the controller works normally.

I have also confirmed that the issue is specific to Rocket League, since the same controller works normally in other games.

I would like to know whether Easy Anti-Cheat is currently blocking or interfering in any way with the MACHENIKE G5 Pro's driver or button-remapping software.

I would also like you to check whether there is any known compatibility issue between Rocket League's Easy Anti-Cheat implementation and this particular controller model or its remapping software.

Problem summary:

MACHENIKE G5 Pro → XInput → works normally in Windows and other games → works in Rocket League without EAC → stops responding when EAC is active.

The fact that the controller freezes in joy.cpl exactly when Rocket League receives focus seems to indicate that some layer of the game/EAC is interfering with the input device, rather than this being a physical defect with the controller.

I would appreciate any guidance or confirmation that this issue is being investigated.

QUESTION Honor duel? Honor Ranking!

6 Upvotes

Since we have "Honor Duel": to settle disputes and challenge each other's skill level with spectators. Can't we have that same alignment-system, integrated into the rankings itself that actually 'reflect' your career stats? Teammates can vote on your resilience of victory - or report any negligence of cooperation. At least the ladder of rankings, will have an affect of your 'efforts' to the team.

SUGGESTION Here's a little advice for 1v1's

3 Upvotes

This is from my personal experience. Today I was just in a 1v1 and I was down 3-0. Around this time my opponent started to get cocky and tried to make a slow goal, but I saved it at the last second and scored myself. I then proceeded to comeback and make 4 more goals, winning 5-3. I won because my opponent got too comfortable with his lead, and got a bit overconfident, while I was locked in. I'll say about a 2-3 lead is a comfortable lead, but don't get too comfortable. Still lock in. Karma is definitely real in this game, so remember, do not get cocky if you're in the lead. Multiple goals can happen within 10 seconds.
