Original Post — Direct link

This subreddit is really boring right now, 95% of posts are gifs of cool shots and stuff, but its honestly boring after a while, I think there should be a no video weekend or something like that to bring more discussions to the subreddit. The reason is that after the 9th video of the same mechanic being done over and over again, it loses its sparkle, and just becomes very stale.

How about Psyonix not banning pro players deliberately throwing and griefing ranked matches while on stream?

How about Psyonix having lied to their entire community for years about reports (afk, unsportmanlike and cheating not doing jack shit)?

How about Psyonix implementing low/high fives in next update, whilst more stats that people have been asking for for years, still go unmentioned?

How about the fact that Bakkesmod does so much QoL improvements to the game and offers so many options and customization and is't being done by a mod, whilst Psyonix can hardly make a single update without f**king up physics or gameplay-related things it takes 1 minute of testing to find out?

How about the fact when you get multiple items and the OK is on one side of the screen, and the OK TO ALL is on the other side of the screen, but the "OPEN NOW" for crates is on the same side as the OK button for regular cosmetic items? (Seriously, this is also done by design because by bringing people to the page of opening crates, you limit their path to spending money on keys... scummy by a long shot).

How about the state of the servers?

How about demo priority secretly being rolled out in a patch and not mentioned until it was brought to light? (yeah yeah, I know it's being reverted NOW... but still, how it happened in the first place is worthy of a discussion)

How about Psyonix pushing a broken HDR audio down our throats despite a majority wanting the old sound back?

How about Psyonix doing nothing to combat trolls and actual griefers in this game?

How about the fact that Psyonix, rather than temp banning those that use naughty nono-words, could just implement a real-time distortion filter that makes a f**k and every other naughty nono-word come out like ¤#%#¤%.

How about the fact that their current system could've just scanned every chatlog after every match and take action, rather than being dependent on reports coming in?

Fact of the matter is that this community cares more about cosmetics than they care about holding Psyonix accountable for their shady business practices. There are tons to discuss, but the community, particularly this subreddit aren't interested in it whatsoever.

Psyonix just dangles some new free cosmetics in front of everyone and it's all forgotten.

A whole businessday has gone by, JSTN still not banned for the shit he pulled. Despite it being on stream. Despite the fact that PSyonix, by publicly banning him, would make every other pro (and aspiring pro) fall into line permanently.

Hey there, we don't usually openly discuss player bans, and that includes pro player bans. Just because one has not been shared publicly, does not mean that no corrective action has been placed.
