Dropshot is fun

Trying it out right now on the xboner

Played two games of dropshot and I can already tell that the strategy of the game is going to be lost on a lot of people. I know it just came out but if people don't understand rotations in just a normal game then they won't understand a game this complex haha.

On the flip side I would hate to wonder what kind of horrible games Mike can make with mutators on this game.

And here is some of the weirdness that we are sure to encounter. I'm sure making the ball super big will be a problem as well. Looking forward to a night of craziness when we start messing with this.

Update: Halibut is going pro in Drop-Shot.

Haha. I think by the end of the night, your dropshot skills surpassed mine.

I'm just glad we played a mode where I could be competitive with you guys.

Any word on if we'll ever get Xbox vs psn, so I can dominate whoooop?

My guess is it will be a long time, if ever. I am fairly certain I will finish buying parts/build my pc before it ever happens.

Any xbox guys going to be on tonight? I just finished mowing the lawn so I'm trying to procrastinate being further productive tonight.

Standard rankings are messed up right now, up to Gold 3 in doubles and can't get over silver 2 in standard

Getting back into this game. Been playing consistently over the last few weeks. One problem I'm having now is the game keeps crashing. XB1 just did an update to the dashboard so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it? Anyone else having these issues?

Skill Tier Adjustments

Quote:

---

We have deployed a small adjustment to how competitive skill tiers are calculated for Season 4. This does not affect matchmaking or skill gain/loss, only which Tiers map to which skill ranges (e.g. Gold II).
When we launched Season 4, we made an early adjustment to the Skill Tiers to ensure we did not create a surplus of Grand Champions in the first few days of the season. Players were gaining skill faster than we had anticipated and we made it harder to reach high skill tiers. While this was effective, it had the knock-on effect of making it more difficult than we originally intended to reach Platinum and Diamond tiers.

Today's changes restore the skill thresholds for Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond ranks to their intended values for Season 4.
In practice, you may gain a few divisions or an entire Skill Tier at lower ranks. Champions shouldn't move much, and Grand Champion requirements haven't changed.

GT?

I haven't played much this last week since my parents came into town to help me box up the house but hopefully I can get in a little time here and there going into the weekend.

That's why my rank has been going up

Trading question...

When I buy keys, I am subject to the 7-day trade timer. When the timer is up and I trade those keys with another player for an item, do I have to wait another 7 days before I can trade that item to someone else?

No, you don't have to wait a second time. The keys (and the items they unlock) have a single 7 day timer that starts when originally purchased.

Awesome. Thx, Lefty.

Whooooop you at champion yet? Only up to plat 1

haha nope not yet. I have not been on a ton since the start of the season. Got to diamond 3 in standard but I think I am at diamond 2 right now.

The ranks are still a mess right now and solo queuing doubles is painful.

I think I got a little burned out towards the end of season 3, so I have been playing some MLB the Show (which has quite possibly the worst servers of any game ever).

I did play last night against a guy who is a sub for a team competing in RLCS right now... he was diamond 3 I think, which is ridiculous.

Also played with a guy who was champion 3 in standard and he was WAY better than anyone else I have played with or against this season. Getting to champion this season will definitely not be an easy task.


Edit: Also worth noting that I wish they would have kept the vegetable ranks. I prefer those.

And I got so excited when I made it to Gold 1 this weekend.

pics or it didn't happen...

Somebody's jealous.

Yeah, ranked is a giant cf right now. Most of my rocket league experience for the last week has been trying to air dribble in 1s. I'm not great at it yet.

Woo. Finally got out of gold in standard today. And then in my next (unranked) game, I managed to do this.

I have a stag weekend at home Friday-Sunday... good chance to rank up (for me) if anyone needs a +1 or wants to help a guy out. I'm currently Gold on Solo Duel and Doubles. Haven't ranked Standard yet.

For those that didn't add me before, I'm TxAgFTW on PS4. Not to be confused with my seldom-used PC account by the same name.

Matchmaking for Dropshot is garbage. I have a lot of hours logged but that doesnt make me a good player. The people I get paired against are air dribbling and making precision slams while I am just trying to make contact coming off the wall.

Team mates get pissed, and justifiably so, but repetitive losses dont seem to drop me down. Any solutions?

Hey everyone,

There is currently an intercollegiate Rocket League organization called College Carball Association in which teams from different schools compete against each other. Texas A&M is currently not represented. I'm looking for 2 other players to join in and compete with me against other schools. PS4 and PC.

Here is the link for the CCA discord, join it and we can start organizing!

Man, I would have been all over that if I was still in school.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes.

I know DT 03 still plays. He's a good Ag, but not a TexAgger.

I'm on a Zelda break.

I play every once in a while. Not as much as I used to.
