    This is the story of the one single Rocket League season that is widely considered to be the worst by nearly everyone who has played Rocket League from the start. The original Rocket League season 3.

    Rocket League season 3 began just under a year after Rocket League's release. So although many do consider it to be the worst season, it's pretty hard to blame Psyonix for it. They were just a small indie company at the time and were massively overwhelmed by the amount of popularity their game had received during their first year. With little to no experience in balancing the population of a ranked system, there definitely needed to be some experimenting done. And at this point, I think it's safe to say that the mistakes Psyonix had made with Rocket League's rank system back then have now been the benefit of the much more balanced rank system we have today.

    In case it’s not obvious, this video is not an attack on Psyonix. If anything, it’s a defense and a reason for us to be thankful for their decision making today. Please don’t see this as a reason to hate the developers’ choices. There is no true solution to pleasing everyone in the rank system.

      Hi Wayton, I was c2 before f2p, I improved a lot but was put down to c1 with the new distribution. Was just frustrating af. I improved more and now with their rank distribution I „jumped from high C1 to c3“, where in fact I just climbed 2 divisions from before season 1. This time it’s not like in og season 3

F2P S3 has me back in C2 (though still 100 MMR below where I was in S14). They essentially massively screwed up the F2P S1 reset. Or maybe they only did it to people named Chris.

      Yeah this. I feel like if you place into, say, plat. You should get the bronze and silver rewards for free. Diamond would get bronze, silver, and gold. Champ would follow the same pattern and so on. Basically, you have to play through the rank below yours, then yours, then any new ranks you promote into for your final rewards. I have something like 70 hours on the season and only now got my diamond rewards.

      Yeah, I remember being bronze for like the first 30 hours or so. That is where you belong. The lack of skill you have at the start perfectly reflects the bronze feel. Now it's like you complete the tutorial and bam, you get silver. Practice a tiny amount and you're gold. Then get a little bit better or play smarter and you're at plat forever until your mechanics are good enough for diamond. I think starting the game now would give a lot less satisfaction from ranking up at the lower end.

    The rank recalibration has hit me hard this most recent reset. I spent my first 900 hours grinding from bronze 2 (my actual first rank) to diamond 1. I was thrown into upper D3 after winning 9 of my placement matches in 3v3. I held my own for a while in there and even made 2 videos where I began the grind to champ 1. Champ 1 was my 1000 hour goal. I was handed a free skip to the end of my journey.
    Unfortunately the reality of my skill hit hard and I lost 17 games in a row in 3v3, across about 1 week of ranked grind. This sent me from Diamond 3 div 4 to Diamond 2 div 2, where I still sit as I take a step back from the game and reevaluate how I'm playing.

    I feel like a game like clash royale does a pretty good job of resets. Its not quite a hard reset, but it can feel like one, whilst still keeping players with wildly different skill levels apart. They take the trophies or mmr and seem to add a percentage of that to a base, but this is only done with the players in the top tier of the game, so that the base "mmr" is high enough for them to push up arenas quickly.

    I remember during the season 1 and 2 players in champ lobbies were pissed of because we all get a rank lower than before. I felt like psyonix just made us all lose 1 rank and i had the worst rank i ever had in like 5 months. I'm perfectly the type of player you mentionned in your video i have 1100h of rocket league and i hit gc this season. However i feel like i improved a lot and this mmr rebalancing show us the rank we should have without the mmr we lost because of the 2 previous seasons. When it was the last season before f2p i was easily champ3, after i stucked in champ 2.
    So i'm happy with these rank changes because the rank up tp gc was still a challenge that i achieved.

Once the reset happened in Season 15(Season 1) i did my placements, won 7 of the 10 of them and got placed Diamond 2, i had been struggling for the past 2 seasons to try and get back up to C3 and it was t until this season that i finally have gotten all my ranks back to where I was in Season 14, and I understand it sucks for people who were already there, but there’s thousands of us that went through the same thing i did and it has helped tremendously.

So I only got back to playing RL seriously in like late january of 2017 and then it was already too late for me to really get into the grind again. I've been Bronze in S1, Prospect in S2 and subsequently, because I wasn't able to train for so long, also Prospect in S3. If I had the time I definitely could've gotten to GC back then, too. 9 months definitely would've been enough. But I was just happy that I didn't miss the season completely and I even got any season rewards back then. Could've easily missed out on the whole season if it would've been a normal length one like the two before. I mean I've been playing RL since 2 weeks after release, so I've experienced the game before real competitive Rocket League was even a thing. But yeah, I'm still shitting on most S3 GCs I encounter because for the most part they didn't really improve, seeing as for a lot of them this is their only GC title. And not really a "real" one at that.

    Season 1 and Season 2 were unreasonably hard to reach a high rank. I think we are quick to forget that they reset everyone closer to the mid-line. I think Season 3 got us close to back to 'normal'. Even though it is marginally easier to reach a high rank.

    Dude I was a challenger elite, almost into the star rankings which at the time were the cream of the crop second to the champs. And we still had super champs, remember those?
    When the reset hit, I got pushed to bronze 1 div one. FOR WEEKS. The rank reset hit hard dude. It was the worst season ever. I finished it in gold but my god.
    And to brag a little, after 3 long years, in season 14 I hit the goal I was aiming for since starting. I hit Grand Champion for the first time ever. I literally screamed my whole neighborhood awake.
    I have a love hate relationship with the game due to all the bs I get hit with but there is no getting away from this game. I keep coming back to it. It's a masterpiece no matter how you look at it.

    I'm relatively happy with it. I never took the game seriously, even with about an entire year without RL, but at season 9 I began trying to improve as I started playing more and was quite impressed by all these pro players and high ranked players and wanted to learn how to play like them. I was in gold/low plat at season 8, always playing ranked with friends but not caring, then season 9 I hit diamond, changed my bindings and began re-learning with new inputs. Season 10 I hit D3 in all modes, got way more consistent and improved my mechanics insanely fast. Then season 11 came and I hit champ, I even reached Champ 2, and from every season since then I've been champ and got my rewards (except for season 1 f2p, because i lost interest again). I kept improving and improving, but...I would always play ranked with my friend, who now is also improving massively, but he was always a gold/plat player, and I absolutely would not smurf. I dont like smurfs so i wont be one. I was happy playing ranked at champ/diamond level with my friend who at most time, wasnt quite there yet, and even now, I still play ranked with him. But hes now diamond 2 almost diamond 3, which is in part thanks to the MMR changes, but, for me too, it means im not constantly fluctuating because I like to play ranked with my friend who is a much lower rank. We still do it to have fun, and if anything, its helped him improve massively, now hitting things he wouldnt even think hed be able to do, and hopefully this might see me hit GC and my friend hit champ.

    At the beginning of season 3 I got pushed into champ 1 cause of the mmr change, and now in season 4 as I first hit GC then got the rewards it still felt really rewarding, as I still had to grind from c1 to gc. So it did not affect me too much, I just think how much it must suck for the people who grinded and just got placed into GC this season, feels bad man. The grind to champ on the other hand, it felt pointless.

    That rank reset was the best thing that happened to me in rocket league. I was a gold andy or whatever it was called before that but I got really lucky with my teammates in the new promos and won all 10 games. I instantly got diamond (without ever reaching plat) and I quickly tried to learn how to adapt. That experience made me sooooo much better at the game. just being able to see how better people play and actually playing with them all the time.
    BUT I AGREE. Total rank resets are normally pretty terrible. I just got lucky

    Ya, this season's ranks have been a bit weird and a little unrewarding. I played rocket league back in 2016 but never gave it an actual chance, until the summer of 2019. I was in silver 1 during the end of season 14. F2P season 1 I was in plat 2 most of the time. F2P season 2 I was in plat 3 most of the time and barely got into diamond 1 near the end. And now in F2P season 3, I have been in diamond 3 almost the whole time. I have gotten to champ 1 a couple of times. I'm happy about that but not completely.

    I have played a lot of games competitively. One thing that does bug me about the rank system in RL is that bronze is a wasted rank. No one exists down there. If you look at serious competitive games, diamond is something that people strive for; while in rocket league plat and diamond are the most common ranks. I think they should do a medium reset. I don't think hard resets are ever really useful tbh. But I would like to see bronze actually utilized. I think GC can be just one rank again. Keep SSL for the top 1000 players(or less), like it is now. Allow champ to be a decent rank again. I'd rather be a champ 1 or 2 in the system I just described than be on the cusp of GC in the current system. There are too many ranks that are too similar in skill, that it feels diluted and almost meaningless. You could do this easily, with new rank art (I mean it's been like 4 or 5 years with the same art, with the exception of the new ranks ofc.), a medium rank reset meaning say everyone =< Gold's elo would be put in Bronze, Plat in Silver, Diamond in Gold or low Plat, Champ in high Plat or Low Diamond, GCs in High Diamond or low Champ, and SSL in champ elos. And also allow for community-voted Ranked Rewards. Because honestly, I haven't been hype for Ranked rewards in about 2 years. IDK maybe I'm wrong about it all. But I do think the ranks Bronze thru mid Gold needs a revamp. The skill in those ranks is barely different. If you play at all you're gonna be Gold or Plat. Bc of the 3.5 million ranked players, only 100k are lower than gold1. I see a problem with that.

  • @spderweb
    @spderweb 3 года назад

    My biggest problem with the way ranking works, is that my friend and I are stuck at two different tiers, because he's played longer than me, and so he ranks slower than I do. So we start a new season, and we play all ten matches together. I rank Diamond, and he ranks platinum. And it's a constant up hill battle to get him into diamond from that point on. Because i'll end up ranking too high, and we wont be able to win anymore, so we rank back down. Except, he'll lose two divisions, and I'll lose one. And so he'll slowly get further and further away from me.
    What i'd like, is that if you play all ten matches with one other player, that you have the option to start at the lower rank. OR, put us both at the same rank, somewhere in between.
    For us, a hard reset where everything is reset completely, would be far better for us as a team.

    i mean until they fix the way they calculate teams... ie, the difference between two differently ranked teammates ie your mmr is based on your rank not the higher of the ranks then a hard reset is the way to go i'm afraid... i play with two different friends...one whom we are evenly matched and one whom is just learning.... now my rank lessens every time i cue up with the friend and the divide between the teammate im evenly matched with.. and we just push him higher and the gap has been there for the last 4 seasons.... and it only really effects us when went between rewards... ie when he was gold 1 and i was silver 3...and then when he was plat 1 and i was gold 3... and then when he was diamond 1 and i was plat 3 .... and now because we get cued up to my rank, my friend whom is just starting is making all those basic mistakes we all did but we spend most of the time losing when we play... but it is needed to know the mistakes and how to correct them... but right now the divide between the one im evenly matched with is he is d2d4 and im p3d1 so i feel like we are going to get him into champ 1... and there is no way of 'catching up to him' and then when there is a 'soft reset' the gap still remains. so either they have to do hard resets... or fix how the mmr works between teammates.
