Nope! Not how this works. Happy Cake Day, Cake Day pal. :)

You didn't. You got banned for the racial slur you dropped in the same match as the fourth line.

Enjoy the upvotes, though. :)

Hello! Sorry to see you're going through this.

Please correct me if I am mistaken: Reading your post and some of your comments, it sounds like:

  • You can play RL on PC, Xbox, and Switch
  • You have connectivity issues playing on PC (lag + d/cing from matches)
  • And there are no connectivity issues playing on Xbox and Switch?
    • Or do you have the same connection issues when playing on all three platforms?

Keep it up! These renders are A+ :D

Thanks for ruining the mode for me. Playing since 2015, and this is just another update to play even less. Now I'm down to solely play with friends (when around) because I am forced to get mad at randoms. Your matchmaking is borderline bonkers and you know that! What's the difference to playing ranked now? Only that your rank isn't shown?

The whole change doesn't make sense, esp combined with the backfill change. You basically promote the idea that a 3 goal difference equals a lost game. Why?

I have honestly no idea what you're trying to fix. People getting mad about not being able to stomp with premade teams on randoms properly because they're quitting too fast? Those people should play ranked in the first place.

I guess in the end it's your loss. I'm only playing the game less and am even less inclined to throw money at you. Still going to enjoy ranked until you mess that up as well. If you don't want me as a player, ok. This is not the last game in my lif...

Also, whats with the audacity of that statement? "once everybody has a feel for it"

A lot of the reactions to this change came in before the update was available. Once players had a chance to see the change in action, feelings could change, which has been the case with not all, but some.

Thanks for nothing, Devin. Have a NICE cakeday.

Thanks! :)

I mean calling him a shill is kinda extreme imo. It’s part of his job to protect the community/keep the community happy, but it’s also part of his job to protect the company. I think a lot of the responses he’s been giving here have been poor, but by no means do I think he’s not the original owner. At the end of the day psyonix/epic is paying his salary. He can’t just slag off the company and expect to have a job. Even if he didn’t agree with what the company is doing, he has to defend them to an extent.

Given that you referred to yourself as a CM/SMM in another post, it is surprising that you whiffed on the job description here.

Nice to see your descent into nothing more than a shill. Glad to see you've completely sold out. Your responses are absolutely laughable. Good chance you aren't even the original owner of that account.

Definitely the funniest take so far. Pretty sure I've been Devin this whole time? Although some do call me Devon, Devan, etc.

Come on, man. The majority of this update just screams a lack of transparency and a disconnect between the developers and the majority of the player base. I'm sorry to come across sarcastic but it's frustrating just seeing changes pushed through that make little to no sense and criticism from your most dedicated players just falls on deaf ears.

Casual is now a complete mess and toxicity fest that competitive is.

What about those that have other commitments? Rocket League is one of a very few games where you can dip in and out of for short intervals and especially in casual being able to disappear when you needed to. Are you not in any way concerned that a large portion of your player base may be parents etc that will stop returning to the game after persistent bans? Or even before you get to that point, what about the idiots that'll just sit there refusing to move or tapping a trigger every now and again because the rest of you won't forfeit? Or the morons own goali...

The majority of this update just screams a lack of transparency and a disconnect between the developers and the majority of the player base.

The streamer safe music option, improvements to p2p trading, undersized party rank restrictions, improved game ban messaging, and addition of 2v2 and Extra Mode tournaments scream lack of transparency to you?

As I mentioned a few weeks back, I do think we need to change up how we talk about upcoming plans and features, but everything I just mentioned above has a direct connection to request...

If this is your takeaway after someone suggests there's a whole lot of diversity in opinions around the change(s) we made, you're definitely doing your best redditor impression.

Yes! Thank you for understanding. That’s the point of having a community manager. Hearing the cries of your player base when something has gone really wrong

Hearing the cries of your player base when something has gone really wrong

This subreddit, while a valuable resource, does not represent the community as a whole. The conversation around the Casual changes we made on this sub is pretty different when compared to the conversation on Twitter, and elsewhere.

From your top post:

this is our hobby, it’s our competitive outlet with absolutely zero alternative in the genre. We have no place to go. That should be treated as something precious

This, right here, is exactly why we made the changes to Casual. While Casual matches aren't nearly as serious as Competitive, they shouldn't be treated as disposable, either. Whether you're answering the door, or quitting out because you went down one goal with three minutes left on the clock, leaving teammates to hold the bag when you bail is pretty unfair to them, and it affects quality of play. Sometimes...

casual basically became ranked for no reason... the changes to ranked means i have to play casual when im playing with my girl... changing the players online format is just f**king stupid

way to f**k up my favorite game guys, you gonna tell kanye to scrap Donda too?

Yes! Take a look at the details in the patch notes. We'll be on the lookout for feedback from players on these changes once everybody has a feel for it.
