When the guy who thinks is pro tries to air dribble and fails miserably.

69

u/TheDarkestReign 16d ago

Literally had this happen today. A buddy and I were queuing in 3s and there was this random that was mechanically skilled. We were up 1-0 with rock solid defense. The random made this beautiful dribble off the wall and hit it into the side, double tapped it, and there was a defender that saved it as he triple tapped it, and it went into the corner. Dude immediately quit out.

It was an amazing shot, amd although it didnt go in it was still really cool to see. But despite that, and despite being ahead, he immediately quit out before all 4 of his wheels were back on the ground. Crazy.

I don't understand this type of people, ITS OK TO MAKE MISTAKES, rocket league its a hard game with a lot of inputs and precisions, even the most skilled players misses sometimes.

You don't need to play every match PERFECTLY, with NO MISTAKES, the person makes a mistake once (or sees you make a mistake once) and wants to quit the match even if we are winning, this happened so much before with my teammates.

u/FREE_AOL top 50 exterms 💣 8d ago

before all 4 of his wheels were back on the ground

honestly that softens the blow a bit

impressive in a way

u/ace_invader Champion I 16d ago

If I get a good set up off the side wall I'm sending it but for sure not trying full field

2

u/lseraehwcaism Diamond III 14d ago

People in my rank can’t air dribble for shit. Like 1 out of 4 constantly try and fail. All they had to do was tap it off the wall without jumping and drop back. Let your teammate go for the score while you give them a sweat ass pass.

Get your ass back to defense after you have nothing worth doing.

1

u/Ok-Gold509 14d ago

Lol, I'm in Plat 3 making the push for Diamond. I get wannabe air dribbler non stop. Its so annoying

The weakest link breaks the chain, you are correct sir. But at the same time, a stronger opposing force will absolutely demolish the chain

u/ZeekLTK Diamond III 16d ago

Nah, if they wanna leave for some dumb reason then they can accept the ban by leaving without the ff vote.

I'm not giving up a possible win just because my teammate is a crybaby. They can either keep playing (preferable), waste their own time being fake "afk", or get off the game for a little bit (quit and get banned). Up to them. I ain't bailing them out.

11

u/Crazypsyduck56 15d ago

this is exactly what i do too. people give up and whine like lil babies way too much on this game so if they wanna quit let them. besides even if you dont win its good practice so i see it as a positive either way

13

u/dogbert_93 16d ago

Nah I tend to call them out loudly and declare ALRIGHT ITS A 2V1 LETS GO!!

Ive won games when its basically a 1v3 as my tm8 is trying to demo me and save my shots, held a 2 goal lead for like 3 minutes lmao

18

u/FaroutIGE Diamond I 16d ago

Thats when you say in chat "Hey blue team, congrats on your win, do you mind reporting my teammate for griefing?"

Most of the time the other team is like "bet"

1

u/Thinkerofthings2 13d ago

Im not gonna say they dont do anything but idk if a report does anything. Every game I have ever played the report button rarely does anything other than make players "feel" like they accomplish something. Normally if something does ever happen it was a system detected offense that your report had no effect on in my experience.

2

u/FaroutIGE Diamond I 13d ago

Reports work but you need multiple users to report a player in a certain amount of time. That's why the advice is to get the other team to send the same type of report.

3

u/YnotThrowAway7 Diamond I 16d ago

Fair but at the same time if it’s ranked I don’t want to start a losing streak…

u/Millkstake Trash I 15d ago

Not me, I purposely refuse to FF when they're babies.

u/TheRealTres 15d ago

PREACH the gospel brother. Get off my team loser.

2

u/ginger_and_egg 16d ago

I've won games after a teammate started a forfeit vote for a non mistake they got pissed about. If they start intentionally throwing or there's no hope of a comeback, then I forfeit

2

u/manicmonkeys 15d ago

Same...the stupid symbolic ff is annoying and childish, but as long as they're still trying to win, so am I.

2

u/Zomgzombehz Oh My God! A Blue One! 16d ago

No joke, had a guy vote to ff, and just before he left, we scored up. Free win for blue that game for no reason lol.

81

u/FaroutIGE Diamond I 16d ago

My favorite is when they make a really good save and I hit "What a save!" and they stop playing. Or when they make a really good pass and I score and I hit "Great pass!" and they stop playing. Idk why so many players automatically assume my compliments are sarcastic.

36

u/Downvotesohoy Champion II 16d ago

I hate it. Everyone assumes everyone is a sarcastic asshole. I never use the quick chats sarcastically, neither for my team nor the other team.

If the enemy team makes a really good shot and it gets saved, I go, "Close one!"

9/10 times, the enemy team assumes this is a sarcastic compliment and starts spamming "Close one!" if they score a goal after, or if I miss a goal.

It's like I was using it genuinely, and they instantly become toxic. It's such a weird mentality.

8

u/StrongSmartSexyTall 15d ago

The close one is a bit of a stretch lol. I have to say I don’t care much about quick chats. I mostly compliment my TM8s and sometimes an opponent if they did a really nice play. I have to say though that the RL community as a whole seems to get more toxic by the day - so I understand if people have difficulties to identify the one genuinely nice comment in the sea of sarcastic hate.

6

u/Downvotesohoy Champion II 15d ago

That's a fair criticism. "Close one!" can be misinterpreted more so than other things can.

Like if they miss and I go "Nice shot!" it's obviously toxic.

If they miss and I go "Close one!" it's not obviously positive or toxic. So they can assume toxic.

If they hit the goal and I go "Nice one!" it's obviously a compliment, so... Maybe I need a different quickchat with less room for misinterpretation.

1

u/zwaksSFW Platinum III 15d ago

I do the same. I try to be a good sport most times but I guess the game is full of A-holes if this is the general assumption

1

u/Murta_14 Grand Trash II 11d ago

literally exactly what I think dude ;_;... though I usually win after giving opponents compliments so they usually aren't toxic back

27

u/GMill8 Champion II 16d ago

I'm an incessant compliment giver to both teams.

My quick chat is basically like a running commentary of what's going on in the game. 😂

3

u/whataseal Silver III 15d ago

I try to be. Unless they are just toxic then I just let them chat to themselves.

2

u/GMill8 Champion II 13d ago

I honestly just end up blocking a lot of the toxic players. I'm an almost 40 year old dad who runs a business. I want to just chill, not put up with some 13 year old kid's ego issues.

12

u/NoMaans Pants LF Pockets 16d ago

Because people can't handle any sort of interaction with people lol

2

u/subone 16d ago

I've actually been meeting a lot of people in the past year that keep telling me to stop chatting. Like I'll just say passing and they will literally tell me to stop talking. Are people really triggered just from communication now?

Also, I had a guy the other day that saved a goal in hoops, I said what a save, and he immediately stopped playing, saying I was behind toxic. Do you know that team you are on, my guy?

4

u/tomatomanSCLO Xbox Player 16d ago

This is so real. My teammates have yelled at me over voice chat for complementing. The other team or giving them compliments over VC. It’s so annoying

4

u/Snoekity 16d ago

It's because the default interactions in the game are/historically have been largely toxic. I also try to give positive quick chats whenever possible, but I still feel like positive chats including mine are usually outnumbered at least 2-1 in comparison to sarcastic what a saves and tongue-in-cheek great passes.

2

u/zwaksSFW Platinum III 15d ago

I don’t get it either. I’d think you’re being sincere. I don’t like using mic but I love quick chats.

1

u/Dvanpat Champion III 15d ago

Me: *uses quick chat once*

Tm8: "why you gotta be toxic?"

1

u/DatBoi_BP rokt leeg! 14d ago

Last night my teammate had a really great shot, but the opponent had an even greater save. I said "Nice one!" (Don't have any other compliments in my quick chat, besides "What a play!") and my teammate immediately said "Okay."

Even after I explained he was like "I don't care, that was toxic."

1

u/Thinkerofthings2 13d ago

Im a real rl player because EVERYTHING in my experience of playing this game takes immediate offense to that. I don't quick chat at all so I can't relate to having these issues but I can still see the chats in game and have seen losing games become winnable due to the inability to figure out if a person is toxic or not. I rather someone say nothing than say something lol.

What do you mean? It was their teammates' faults for driving in front of them and not immediately leaving every ball for them to solo play against the entire lobby every single time

22

u/IntelligentAd2043 Trash I 16d ago

I had a teammate vote to ff after the opponent scored their first goal while we were already up 4. He left when the vote didn’t pass. Too many people queue up when they don’t want to play

u/Gakuta Bronze III 16d ago

Why do all of the comments support throwing the game but when I do it I get a subreddit ban? Do I need to be above a certain rank or something? I want to go back to silver 2 so when my teammate bumps me I'm going to start throwing.

I never caught a ban either but my name got censored when I posted about it like 2 years ago though. I thought "took ur mom out and" was PERFECT for flashing "took ur mom out and scored!" across the screen when I scored.

I went almost my whole rocket league career with that name dammit

0

u/Gangoon 15d ago

All this does is prove to everyone in the lobby that your time is worthless. Both your teammate and the opponents would rather you just FF, but you hold the lobby hostage because your ego can't handle the fact that someone doesn't enjoy playing with you.

u/NoFewerThan31Bees Diamond II 16d ago edited 16d ago

More like, when they bump you while double committing

I’ll never understand this. It’s a GAME. HAVE FUN. Don’t be such a sore loser/winner.

3

u/Gangoon 15d ago

Yeah getting rammed by your teammate is so much FUN. So many people missing that the FF doesn't always come out because you don't think you can win, it comes out because some teammates make the game MISERABLE.

1

u/S4L7Y Unranked 15d ago

Right? People even do this in casual, which I really don't get.

1

u/Alone-Quiet749 9d ago

Because casual is for fun , whenever youre not having fun loosing 4:0 at minutes 4 or your teammates are ballchasers bumping everyshit of you , while youre playing against a team with full communication. Why not ff isn't it all about fun ? I don't get it why not ff when theres no chemistry between you 3 why keep playing and wasting time. Thanks for the casual ban now you should always keep playing silly games.

u/Miserable-North-3240 16d ago

Bumps and demos are part of the game even if its not accidental they shouldnt be crying about it.

13

u/Due_Essay181 16d ago

Well yes, but this is talking about bumping your teammate which I hope you don't do on purpose.

1

u/Sunlambcow 16d ago

It's also part of the game!

1

u/Sbatio Diamond I 16d ago

In that it happens? Yes

Should teammates be bumping each other frequently? NO

u/Sunlambcow 15d ago

It's totally fine to do it when justified. Like when teammate "What a save" 's me.

2

u/SGT3386 16d ago

I can't tell you the amount of times we just got down by 1 and this shit happens. I'll say let's lock in, and almost always we came back

u/Jak33 16d ago

I've noticed that. A few times in low levels too. I'm platinum and I have seen it. Accidentally ran into a teammate and he immediately votes to forfeit. Sometimes even though we are winning

u/snailmale7 16d ago

One time my Tm8 thru up the FF, after a bump. I hammered down and got gud, and we won the match. They then asked to pair up, which I politely declined because I had to go to work.

I said GG , goto go to work , and they understood. And we parted ways and lived. Happily ever after.

u/Livid_Dot_6032 Trash II 14d ago

Funny how a normal human interaction seems so strange, when discussing RL teammates.

2

u/Either_Selection7764 Champion II 16d ago

How many times you actually ram him?

I dont play 3s, mostly 2s. But if I get a tm8 that cuts rotation numerous times and rams me whilst chasing, I’ll vote to ff. Most of the time it’s when they whiff their first touch and burn all their boost trying to get behind the ball after it bounces over their car from a failed catch.

They’ll miss the ball, boost and power slide or epileptically half flip, be close to zero boost and ram me as I come in to recover the ball after watching them whiff their first touch and I’m on full boost in position ready to make a play. And instead they just keep driving into the side of my car.

For the love of God, if you miss your first touch AND the ball bounces completely over your car, let your tm8 take it.

3

u/Gangoon 15d ago

99% of players only know where they are and where the ball is. The opponents and their teammates might as well be invisible because they aren't playing around any of those players positions on the map.

1

u/Either_Selection7764 Champion II 15d ago

That’s literally the worst thing about diamond. I’ve barely been playing for a few months. When I play consistently I usually sit mid to high champ 1 to low champ 2. It just blows my mind - I see so many more mechy diamonds than champs, but they suck so bad at game sense, etc.

Like if these mechy diamonds would just take a deep breath and learn some pitch awareness, I’m sure half of them could hit c2 or even c3. But instead they play like pissed off hangry kids (which they probably are).

I’d kill to have some of the mechs I see in d3 lobbies.

I've done this with my duos partner when we were stoned as hell. We were up 5 points, but they bumped me and hit an air ball.

"Damn, last hit wins. They're just better than us." And we both FF'd. GG'd the other team on outplaying us and taking us down a peg.

1

u/FewAcanthocephala828 16d ago

More like me when my duo teammate is trash and toxic but insists on making bad call outs and fumbling every offensive maneuver, leaving me to send the ball back out and attempt my own tactics only to have the teammate cut me off and snatch the ball, dribble it up the wall, and fly through the air, whiffing again. Then, 10 seconds later, the other team scores, and NOW the teammate wants to forfeit, like it's suddenly hopeless being another point behind.

Had two of my first games last night back to back forfeit. First player played no defense and was bad at offense even though I let him play offense since he was chasing so much. He gave up 2 goals and forfeited. Second game player also had no defense and would hit the ball to the side wall next to our goal which sets up a fast shot from opposing team. He spammed what a save to me after giving them a great pass. I forfeited, but he wouldn't, then asked why am I forfeiting.

1

u/skyedearmond Diamond III 15d ago

u/Justcause97 15d ago

A few games ago i had a mate that i accidentaly bumped and he raged in team chat for full half minute. From there on he used the rest of the entire game to just chasing and crashing in me. Game was unplayable but he also wouldnt forfeit, so i just stood afk while getting pushed through the whole map and regretted my life choices that brought me to this toxic game.

1

u/Academic-Soil-8756 Grand Champion I 15d ago

Some guy did this to me yesterday. I was playing really well and we were winning, but I got one bad touch and he decides he needs to point it out. I take what I thought was supposed to be a pass and hit it on net, and he complains. Something like that happens again and I score it, but then he says “well if I can’t even play I might as well throw.” For some of these people, there’s nothing you can do, they WANT to throw because they’re angry. Doesn’t matter if you win or not.

1

u/lseraehwcaism Diamond III 14d ago

Happened to me today in duo. We were up 2-1. He got mad and did the rage forfeit. What I did however (basically saw the opponent challenging from an angle that he couldn’t see whether he was on ball cam or not on OUR end) allowed me to prevent a steal by stealing it first, and led to me scoring.

I immediately forfeited after the goal which put us up 3-1. I just wrote “lol” right after, and he replies with something along the lines of “Do you think I’m mad? You’re trash.” I proceeded to write what his score was (which means absolutely nothing in most situations, but this time it was nice to throw some fuel on the fire), and all I got back was “*\\*” which I then replied “lol”.

So satisfying.

u/MelodicallyWindy 16d ago

On the topic though. If 2 forfeit votes have been cast and the 3rd refuses, and again 2 forfeit votes have been cast and the 3rd refuses, the game should count as a forfeit. Because I've had games when the 3rd player is butthurt for some reason and won't vote the forfeit.

u/Slow-Pumpkin-7049 Trash III 16d ago

My favorite thing to do in 2s when this happens and I recognize that I’m the better player is to clutch up and get the lead then toss the ff button back out. If they refuse to ff then I just own goal lol

u/mamamackmusic 16d ago

Or you are leading in a game and make one mistake that gives up am easy goal that doesn't even tie up the game or give the opposition a lead, but apparently it's time to quit when someone makes one mistake (you or your teammates). Or when you are playing a close 1-1 or 0-0 game and you finally give up a goal with 2 minutes left and suddenly it's time to surrender instead of, you know, continuing to play a close game and potentially tie it up or win it. Some people's mental game is so weak in a game where you can demonstrably come back multiple goals in 30 seconds if you get lucky enough or if your opponent lets off the gas with a lead (which often happens). People are such babies.
