I hope it was some of you guys, most of the matches I’ve been in to earn the free shit have been hockey, and they could actually fucking handle the puck.
Usually it’s a 1-0 shitshow...this has been like overtime 2 plus minutes shit.
 
year in review blogpost just went up

good news for @Morose_Obesity as they want to make gaining xp actually reward you with things, including free decryptors "at regular intervals"
this'll up your item collection rate like crazy and finally let you get into that painted crate item wonderland

plus being able to finally play with people cross-system easily
right now you have to make a private party and use passwords to join, but finally we'll be able to just invite someone from another console to a game and play whatever mode
maybe even trade

in other news i got Wonderment wheels from one of my free holiday crates so i'm happy with how that went
 
I finished the stupid Fortnite crossover challenges already AND humiliated some low viewer streamer yesterday. Back to the rocket pass.
 
Very late necro: I did finally download Rocket League after playing (and losing) OW2's Summer Games Lucioball mode. Using RC cars to hit a big soccer ball to a goal is harder than I thought. The cars oversteer often.

Since it went free, the progression changed to a battle pass monetization. I'm still able to unlock stuff from play with various rarities. I'm still not understanding its new progression system.

Played for a bit, made content for the game, bought every DLC,
even considered seriously aiming to become a pro;
stopped playing after they sold out to Epic Games
(locking K.I.T.T. , which I predicted would appear someday, to purchase only on EGS)
and my then-partner -former best friend- got addicted to crack cocaine
and abandoned it altogether for almost 4 years.

I picked it up again a couple of months ago,
now that my partner -currently living in another country,
after years of non-communication- sobered up, found God,
and one of his brothers signed a pro contract with Cloud9.

Took me like a month to pick up the pace and surpass my previous self.
Feels good.

While most of the garbage AAAs make you keep right-clicking to aim
and left-clicking to shoot, or the perenially insipid nature of fútbol games
to press buttons to pass and shoot on goal, Rocket League forces you to think in 360º
and becomes a relentless series of mind games, setups and bait-and-switches,
especially among those who have a cultural grasp on actual fútbol
(mainly AR tryhards, BR plagues and CL subhumans, UYs are tough motherfuckers).

And when in doubt: Demolition. Works wonders to crush rival's morale,
which I shouldn't enjoy as much as I actually do, but that's why I play, goals be damned.

There's just nothing like it. Too bad it has been assimilated by Communists
and has been used to steal copious amount of personal data
from every Steam Library that has been linked to Epic Games by unsuspecting kids.-
