Rocket League Season 4 Launched this Wednesday, Psyonix has introduced changes to casual playlists, in addition to competitive rank resets and new cosmetic items. Players will be penalized for abandoning multiple casual matches per day.
In the Rocket League subreddit, many players have expressed confusion and disappointment.one Top post The 12.9K vote was titled “Nobody asked for this. The reason is casual.”
“When interrupted during a game (any game), I put my family first. That’s how I believe you’re supposed to be a responsible parent.” Written one player Those who don’t like the changes. “Casual play in the Rocket League means you didn’t have to give up your online game altogether. Get it anytime. Might be so be free. But what if real life starts to knock? Don’t worry. Please stop and play later. “
As the poster shows, players can now abandon casual Rocket League matches (usually 5-7 minutes) at any time without penalty. This is becoming more and more rare in multiplayer games. When a player drops it, it is immediately replaced by a bot. The bot may be replaced by a new player pulled from a casual matchmaking cue. This change makes casual playlists more like Rocket League competitive playlists, and abandoning a match without a unanimous team vote will result in a match timeout (once daily results). No drop will make it a competitive play)).
For players like the one quoted above, the most important difference between casual and competitive playlists is that they can be dropped at any time, so the general criticism is that the change completely defeats the purpose of casual mode. Thing.
“You can’t play casually while you’re waiting for a ride, a pizza delivery person who arrives soon, when you’re waiting for an important call, etc.” Another player said.. “this is foolish.”
However, some argue that those who occasionally stop by to react to the real world (children need something, pizza arrives, fish fall out of the bowl) should not even notice the change in rules. increase. In competition, the matchmaking ban starts in 5 minutes with a single drop. If you cancel another match within 12 hours, the timeout will be 10 minutes, then 20 minutes, then 40 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, and finally 24 hours. The new casual system does not penalize the first drop of the day, so players must abandon four matches a day to get a 20-minute matchmaking ban. Perhaps that 20 minutes of decent chunks will pass while the player is pulling away from the fourth match in a day.
Players who are likely to be affected are those who have the habit of dropping and immediately requeuing whenever they don’t win or don’t like other players, which Psyonix targets with this rule. It seems. Some players agree with the decision. They don’t see casual as a place to deceive or abandon their teammates just because another team has scored one goal. They really want to play without the pressure of moving the ranked ladder up and down. Competitive mode can be stressful, especially when you become a temperamental teammate.
In a bit of context, Apex Legends and Rainbow Six Siege don’t leave a penalty in casual mode, but Valorant has a rocket league-like timeout system. Overwatch penalizes casual withdrawals lightly by lowering their reputation score, “support level,” but it still can’t stop matchmaking again right away.
Psyonix comment
You’ll get a better idea of how much it will actually change when the new rule takes effect. This should start soon. The Rocket League Season 4 update is released today, and the season begins Wednesday at 8am PST. Psyonix says he isn’t sweating the negative reaction and thinks players will love the change if they adapt.
“We are very pleased to see all the conversations in the Rocket League community about the changes we are making to the casual playlist,” said the representative in an email sent to PC Gamer. “Changes have been made to address the negative impact on teammates of repeated early exits from casual matches. We understand that life will happen, so we will not penalize the first early exit and the match. Delaying the escalation of people who repeatedly leave early will continue to monitor how this change affects the quality of the match and the perspective of the community.
“As soon as these changes are published, players will be adjusted and the improvement in play quality will be noticeable. When changes are made, we will carefully consider the feedback and the players will be on their own behalf. It will change. “
I rarely leave the match myself, so the changes don’t affect me. Lastly There are some minor rocket league controversies. As our destiny expert, Tim will write about all sorts of things that people are crazy about.Reset seasonal artifacts, “Whatever they are. I? I sometimes get angry with the ball when it bounces in a way I don’t like it, but since the Epic Store, there hasn’t been much to roll up Rocket League players in general. . -Play Move. Thank you for adding a little spice this week, Psyonix.
