So even aside from the bad sportsmanship, the demos really hold people back. They think the way they play is set in stone, and if the enemy is better they go to demos. I grinder my way threw the gold, then diamond, then champion, all the way to mid 1600’s. There is no repercussions in rocket league so you think you can act however you want but it’s bad sportsmanship straight up. But if you go out of your way and take it to far, you end up with a bloody lip or in the penalty. Like I said there is a place for it just like in hockey. That's his choice entirely, he can entirely remove that aspect of my game at any time. Making you think about the person, not the game.Įven stupid stuff like "Hey, number 6, your laces are undone.ay made you look" can make number 6 try to line you up for a big hit later, instead of being in the right position. If I'm getting niggle when batting, I know they want me to try and hit a huge shot, prove myself and take more risks. honestly, the grand goal is to make the other person try to prove you wrong.
People think the idea is to make someone get angry or upset. When someone tries to tilt you, it's only your choice if you get tilted or not. My counter to this is that "getting in someone's head" is the only part of someone else's game you have 100% control of at all times. So, preface with I play rugby and cricket so definitely there is a different level of what I would consider physicality and gamesmanship to be an acceptable addition to a sport, just by default so I have a bias for sure. I love playing real sports because of this.įuck, since I learned how effective it can be to let more skillful players just get bored my rank has been seeing craaazy improvements (in ones, 606 MMR in August - Gold 3. You can use more nimble play to avoid a more "physical" player. You can employ "physicality" to get an edge over a more skillful player. You can play mind games and deploy some gamesmanship. A lot of players at my rank (And even lower) have way better pure mechanical skill than me, but I still rate myself to win most games because mechanics can be nullified and made into a minor part of the game. RL is the only online game I play because it's one of the only ones where non-mechanical skills are so important. The idea of being judged on something other than "how well do I manipulate the controller" is something they haaate. A LOT of video game players look at competitive games and think anything that extends beyond mechanical skill of the game to be either pointless or toxic.
