Rocket League

Played a few games with Wretcherd a couple weeks back and his movement in the air was insane. Could see the micro adjustments he was making when landing so that he always landed with maximum momentum to keep on going.

 

Meanwhile i'm still learning to half-flip

 

Have finally decided to bind air-roll right to my controller but I keep forgetting to use it in-game!

Yeah he's a really pro at the game now,and an absolute unit in defence.

Ive got air roll right assigned to square but i never use it ,i just use my normal air roll button to correct myself

Lol, not the best if Beejay is champ 3!

 

Really nice shot Bennet.

Got into Champ 2 for the first time last night.

 

 

My ground game has definitely improved a lot recently but having played a few games in Champ 2 I can see that my aerial game needs a lot of work. Specifically my fast aerials and control of the car when jumping off the wall.

 

So many goals conceded yesterday where someone came in flying off the backboard above the goal and I was just sat watching like a lemon.

I did a thing:

Also, managed to win a 3v3 tourney.

Amazingly 2d side on mobile Rocket League isn't an instant delete off my phone.

 

They seem to have made some decent decisions on the control and game and it plays quite nicely, capturing the spirit of the game well.

 

No idea how invasive the IAPs or seasons or that bumfluffery is as only had a quick go, but the matches seem OK.

Yeah, this is legitimately decent fun, even with touch controls (though it sounds like you can use controllers). It’s a bit more forgiving in terms of boost and air control which makes it easier to air dribble etc. Pleasantly surprised thus far.

What is the verdict: has the community gotten better or worse now that RL is free to play? Deciding whether to get back into it...

[wretcherd]

It's ok. You still come across the occasional idiots who want to forfeit or throw after going 1-nil down, and there is more of a focus on demos these days which can seem aggressive. What little of the trading community I've interacted with are sound.

They've just added public voice chat which I turned straight off because i imagine it would only be awful.

I'm still playing daily and hit my highest rank ever yesterday at champ III. I also got carried hard to a tournament win. It was obvious from 30 seconds in to the first match they we were going to win the tournament. We were about 4-0 up and my team-mate's individual skill was a world above normal champ level. They were clearly either on a smurf or playing for someone else. I've honestly never experienced anything like it.

 

For some reason, we struggled in game 2 of the semi final, after them forfeiting early ( at 5-0 in game 1) and lost it 2-0. I'm assuming my team-mate handed the pad to someone else for that game because game 3 started and we again blitzed them early on and they quit out as soon as possible.

 

I went back to my normal champ III level afterwards and the drop in pace and quality was immediately noticeable.

 

It was really nice to see what the really, really good players in this game are actually capable of, first hand.
