wanted to make this video not to purely bash Epic Games, but to voice out a lot of concerns from the community that I've seen these last few months in hopes for a better future. looks like they actually came out with a solid update yesterday so I'm hoping for some shift that can really push Rocket League in the direction of it's potential. 2024 is the year that likely makes or breaks Rocket League

A WHOLE month?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣

There was a time in my past where I was extremely down and my head was full of dark thoughts. Rocket League was an outlet for me during this period, I sunk in over 300 hours into this game - more than any game (I'm not much of a gamer). This is when I discovered many of the RL pros and creators like musty, and would religiously watch them on KZread and twitch. I even followed all pro events regularly. Thinking back, all of this was a big blur in my memory because of the depression I was going through at the time but this video helped me remember the good parts of those times, when I'd just get lost in RL for hours and sometimes even meet some cool people through the game. This game has a special place in my heart and I hope Epic games really gets their shit together and undoes their mistakes. Pains me to see this game dying because of damn fortnite, jeez. I just went back to check in on all of the RL creators I used to watch and it's safe to say none of them are doing good in terms of views. Rocket League needs a resurgence and I hope that happens before it dies down beyond the point of no return.

@JUNKO____

Nope. This wasn't a mistake. They probably needed to stop trading to close the window on player's items/accounts from being accessed through whatever ways in are left open BECAUSE of that crossover between RL and Rocket Racing. So, have trading and potentially have your account hacked/lose your items/account or don't have trading and retain what you own. Sucks, but that's it since they most likely wouldn't even know where to look when it comes to backdoors into accounts, especially for this game they'd prefer to have in working order ASAP for as long as possible without having to do any upkeep.

Stopped playing cause f2p led to insanely high number of smurfs, or ppl straight duo boosting their friends on fresh epic accounts, and this still hasnt been addressed to this day as my friends say. On top of that, the recent mmr changes which dropped everyone in rank, suddenly now you're 2 ranks down but playing with the same people... for what? kill my expectations on getting gc? Just said nah i got better games to play. Also, i used to trade a lot, now its gone, part of the community and my interest. Used to play everyday at least 1-2 hours, nowadays i play 1-2 times a week when friends call to premade.

Later in November, I made my first trades and got some awesome, rare items just because I knew it was ending. Now, I wish I traded much more while it existed.

what just because of the ranking system, really? Who cares about that, the game is still good. You can still have a blast playing it. Problem mainly is that epic I guess aren't seeing much profit with it and will happily kill off the game if it saves them money on resources. They want little effort on these games and massive profits, unfortunately rocket league doesn't bring them that. Which is a damn shame, because the core of the game is unmatched. Gonna miss rl when it's gone

came back after a few months to play 4 games. In 3/4 one opponents threw the game and in the other game my teammate joined for 30 sec and left i got to a score of 2 - 2 and he joins back misses a shot and leaves.

I had left rocket league not short after the inroduction of blueprints and removal of crates. Although crates were fun i understand the gamling infliction it had. Non the less i returned month ago and although i enjoy playing...it isnt the same. And i have like 7 heatwaves bruh im so sad. Hopefully this message will be the 1st step back in the right direction

I never traded but i miss opponents asking me in chat if i wanna trade, getting ignored by me and then thowing a fit lol

i think that's where they could make their money, but maybe they still don't see it being profitable

I like the idea off mass training lobbies with no bumps. Or like imagine a lobby with a couple arenas and on the outside some rings and platforms. You can challenge people outside to go in the arena and the people on the outside can watch or train. I also imagine they could sell tickets for people to be on the outside box of RLCS.

I remember when that discord announcement came for the trading removal and the reactions ratio from dislikes to likes was 6000 to 130. That's insane, never seen that many reactions that high before on their discord. I do believe that they are falling apart quite significantly. Also o7 to Sunless.

You KNOW it’s horrible when musty trashes on RL. Anyways, thank you, musty for talking about the statement, yet I just started watching!

I've been playing 8 years and I've traded a lot, tried to rank up etc. I almost stopped playing altogether but I've tried recently to remember why I started playing in this first place, that's bc it's a fun game 5 mind at a time, no long commitment to play. I appreciate that for what it is but sadly the rocket league I once knew and loved is dead. On to the next I guess, I'll continue to play but just a game or two here and there.

I would definitely watch you if you made other stuff like different games with friends. I think a lethal company or something game with sunless or just any person would be awesome

It’s so frustrating because like you said, all of our gripes and concerns feel like they are just being cast out into the void with no answers or explanations. We are sat here watching our game die slowly, and it’s more than just a great game on the line, it’s entire careers, thousands of hours of work, ‘wasted’ childhoods grinding to be the best and so much more. And I’m sure psyonix has to just feel sick seeing what’s happened to their darling. I don’t hold them accountable for anything because this truly feels like epic strong arming them to exercise their will and squeeze the community of every last dollar they can get.

Im on my universitys rocket league team and whats happening with rocket league is really worrying, ive spent so much time as well as other players harnessing our skills to get better at this game we love so much and they are just ruining it, taking away key features and game modes that negatively affect your average player as well as ruining the rlcs scene which is eliminating pros and castors. Its hard to put so much time into a game you love when you can't help but feel like the game is just slowly disappearing and will eventually be gone, i feel as if squishy retiring as well as lobby's being harder and harder to find sums it all up pretty well. Great video musty I really hope this gets someone's attention.

Thank you for being the voice of the community. We need people like you to speak up. I know this is personal to you, too. Thanks for the video.

been playing the game since i was 11, the game always had something new to come home too back then, new cars, new maps, new ranks, new crates and cosmetics. sure it was simple but thats what made the game, the more and more updates rolled out with epic games the more i knew the game was on its final stretch, i made it to gc3 and i never had anymore motivation and or want to get any better. now that i understand all the new bracket changes i dont think i ever will try and compete again. "the olde bait and switch" :/. 5k hours i could have spent elsewhere smh.

I started playing is early 2017, really became passionate about it in late 2018 and it became my main game. I uninstalled it just the other day bc I just don’t enjoy it anymore and it was honestly sad and hard to do.

I'm only 16 but I've been watching people play this game since 2015. I watched this game grow so much and I feel like I grew up with this game. whenever I got tired of everything else, I can't imagine this game dying. it hasn't changed much gameplay wise but I could always just have fun on rocket league every now and then. the game never died after all this time. I just regret not playing even more now. it's not even as fun as it was pre 2020. I never thought it was going to end up with the game feeling stale, the microtransactions feeling worse than 2016 crates, and now everyone I watched for years has stopped loving the game too. 2015. Literally half of my life has been filled with 2k+ hours of rocket league and probably another thousand hours watching rocket league content and it feels like yesterday neatmike was making videos about rocket league rage and jonsandman was making videos with woofless. I just think it's fascinating how much the game has fallen off with it's own community. ik I'm just a player who is barely above the average casual player in skill (gc peak once before ssl came out), but even people who put 10k+ hours can't find a reason to keep playing and it's just sad to see

This is so true, I used to play Rocket League a lot, led a freestyling team for years and met amazing people. Whoever is behind this game for the last years treats it purely as business and us as robots just like you mentioned. And I actually believe even in terms of business it would go A LOT better if they listened to the people. The hope is lower everyday.

Trading should come back once all the cars are released in Fortnite items shop imo especially cars like the octan,fennec and ESPECIALLY Dominus

I haven’t played in 3-4 years, it was an awesome game to play with friends. I enjoyed the trading aspect to share different stuff with friends and they made me enjoy watching competitive on twitch to receive rewards in game. Sad to see this is what it has come to. It is an older game now for sure and is evident from this video that they are pushing it to the side..., despite there being so much potential still.

And don't forget for this season they took Dropshop out of all queues for a while, but kept it in tournaments: you could play a tourney for a mode you couldn't actually queue for otherwise, for weeks and weeks and weeks. I'm not a DS main myself, but I feel bad for those who are. I have tons of time in the game and love it, but I play it less and less now. I thought Rocket Racing was going to be in Rocket League-- I was grinding the monaco-style track in Rax's Rocket Park map, grinding down lap times and BAM! RRacing was in Fortnite. That killed the drive for me. I play FN for FN, not for RL. And then there's all the smurfs. Rainbow 6 just *introduced* trading after 8 years and that community is stoked. It's just depressing whenever I think about grinding in RL for any reason at all. My passion has dwindled, and Epic has done nothing to rekindle it.

case in point, for the rlcs qualifiers my friends and I were queuing for a fun few matches, second round lower bracket we versed a team of rlcs regional champs. It's just gotten out of hand

in 2017 i started this game and was a casual, i would just play for fun. Then my friend introduced me into trading and i loved it and when covid hit i took a break. and i got back on and i said to my friend yoooo wanna trade and then he broke the news that trading is gone and note that my account got deleted randomly (apparently because i didn't play enough) which made me mad when i had to make a new account with nothing on it. nice one epic.
