- Rocket League has been a part of my life for 7 years, but I can't continue making videos about a game which has no future.
I'm not done with RUclips so stick around if you wanna see what I'm doing next

COMEBACK FOR BIG EVENTS
@@rafaplays7418I thought u liked portal and fall guys 😢
I didn't detect a single lie! Very good video. Not to try to persuade you to change your mind, but for what it's worth I still really enjoy making RL content occasionally, but only because I:
A) Took a long break and B) Detached from the idea of being so involved in the game so much that it takes 100% of my creative passion
Now I see RL as less of my job and more just a fun thing on the side that I make a video on every month or two and ONLY if I feel like it. I guess all I'm saying is definitely explore other topics, you will KILL it, but don't close every door either! RL can still be fun to make videos about even when it's so, so depressing.
thank you sunless you're a good man
sunless single handedly brought back my love for rl with the vulcan 😊
i love your new channel as someone who reads about history on the side when i find the time
When Napelon part 5?
If Sunless just made a video of all the toxic and wholesome interactions he's experienced every month ill tune in for that. Shit is hilarious!
You could literally do videos on any game or content and you will crush it! Excited to see what you rock!
Dude I would watch your videos on my lunch break instead of being a normal kid and socialising 🤣 i appreciate the kind words
@@sp77ch same! ^^
nothing but love Jon!

Yep, well said dude. Looking forward to future content!
me too
some things just cant be changed.
Thanks, j in don’t have to watch the video now 😀
@@Stuka838tism alert
Who was it? Rocketslot? Who was training some girl to make it to "gc"? When she literally couldn't even make a basic air touches after months of training videos. What ever happened to that girl? Is she ssl yet?
Rocket League right now is like if Minecraft never had modders/minigame coders or Trackmania never had the community making maps for the game.
The Trackmania analogy is perfect. It's not that people wouldn't play the game if it weren't for custom maps, but you can only play the official tracks for so long before you go insane. Essentially what's happening to RL
@@Qubk0and TM community is great. Cup and text chat provides a built in community. And map review. And i see some of the same players over and over. And I'm in lobbies (hunting cup maps, or in quails) with the best players in the world, despite being a mid-player myself.
RL doesn't cultivate any community. TM does. So i have fun playing rocket league, but after 30-45 minutes, it starts to feel empty & unfulfilling.
And RL built in toxic quickchats like what-a-save. The game's social infrastructure (or lack thereof) cultivates toxicity beyond just being competitive imo.
On top of TM's social infrastructure (also shoutout to TMX), it's just a good community. Most people are kind & thoughtful. I think most of us are old so that helps. 🤣
I love tm so much
Or Skyrim without booby modders
@@reed6514 yeah that summs up rl at moment i play rank for liek 30mins and are met with smurfs freestylers bossters or people that just bump all game doesnt and hasnt felt the same since 2019
It’s more like if Minecraft never added any new mobs, blocks, or weapons
Saddest part is your legit the best rl content creator and now im gonna have to watch 71947184 plats vs 1 low ssl
maybe quit rl too
I advise u to watch ApparentlyJack and Retals’ 2 pros 1 keyboard series on both their channels. It’s really good. If u search it up u will find a playlist
@LivingforEntertainement I would but then I'd play leauge or smth
@@pinkb0yy303play car league
just watch pros like appjack squishy and chronic
0:26 its even more ironic that this video is now the best performing video on this channel 😂
Bruh lmfaooo
Haha thanks for the kind words, I was ready to get roasted lol
I agree though, I don’t really feel personally connected to Rocket League like I used to. The main thing keeping me going is that I just love editing and creative storytelling (but even that can get repetitive with RL). It’s so much less about the game for me at this point to be totally honest
Good luck with the future of the channel! Excited to see what you do next
Haha thanks man, anybody can see the love you have for video-making. My talent is being able to make fun of absolutely anything, but i couldn't when the quality is that high level

Symbolically saying: Epic Games dropped the ball.
Funny and accurate video tbh. You’ll crush what you do next bro!!
I was just talking to my parents at their house this morning about how I was getting really burnt out on playing this game and how the RUclipsrs that I used to watch consistently (Pickapixel, CoralCoke, etc.) are unable to make their old content due to trading being removed. This game brought me so much joy in my teens and early twenties but it’s time for something new for me too.
i wish i could talk to my parents about gaming lol
pickapixels a crying twat anyway
This is such a rare post, 90% of parents get disappointed/embarrassed around that topic
My parents wanted me to try and grind to being a pro, but I’ve been playing the game for so long now and I’m gonna be in my 20s soon, feel like I’ve become unc status seeing all these younger pros dominate the scene whilst my skill level has remained the same for a couple years now no matter how much training I give myself. Was on a crazy rise back in the day so it hurts explaining it to my parents haha
@@Sky-Bananas what rank are you
2:38 it’s crazy that some people think 13K is failure, I could never convince 13,000 people to watch something I made and also make them willingly decide to continue watching my stuff
What's a failure is the obvious clickbait the loser used to get the views
Nooooo, you were actually good. Especially the meme recaps. We will miss you.
Epic games - “oh, you like playing 4v4 rocket league with your 3 friends? Let’s make the 4v4 playlist seasonal so that quick half hour of rocket ball you’d play after work is no longer an option. Whaaaat you don’t have as much free time at a weekend? Tooo bad because that’s when the chaos will be on… oh, and we won’t be replacing it with any other perm 4v4 mode.”
who tf has 3 friends? stop crying
If you hate Epic Games, then you hate Unreal Engine as well for being made by Epic Games, not because you think that it is terribly optimized with terrible framerate!
@@elite-forcecinema1788 I mean, maybe? If you hate someone, then you hate someone's child because said child was made by person you hate. It does sound like a non-sequitur.
yeah i wish they would just have all the game modes available all the time but i don't think that would happen
@@user-zu1ix3yq2wu don’t have more than 3 friends?
man i still love rocket league. like, the game at it's core is just so damn good. but everything around it fucking sucks, including the devs. I really think removing trading was the turning point for this game. I mean, what an absolutely dogshit decision.
I mean how else they gonna get you to buy a goal explosion for 20$, when your friend just gives you his hand me downs lol.
Whats funny is when I started in 2015, I prob spent hundreds of dollars buying 5 keys for 5$ every couple days for a random shot a Black Market, and havent once spent 20$ to make one I actually wanted.
But thats considered gambling now lol.
@@tBeNz0 Yes that's a fairly clear example of gambling, I don't think that's a controversial point to make.
devs had nothing to do with the trading. In fact, they aren't the ones to blame for anything of bad that is happening to the game. It's all about epic games being greedy bastards and don't giving a flying fuck to players, pros and teams.
#fuckepic
I'm not sure epic are to blame to be honest, the game is simple and has little opportunity in terms of variety. regardless, GG.
@@boneykingofsomewhere no no, fuck epic. I'm not going to go into detail but epic has continued to make "updates" that, more often than not, have genuinely removed content from the game. Makes absolutely no sense, and it's all in the name of selling more garbage to children on a DIFFERENT GAME. Rant over lol
@@boneykingofsomewhere Nah man they're just talentless and lazy, they are many ways of creating new modes and ways of monetizing the game, they just kept going in a direction that never worked
Epic vetos a lot of things psyonix wanted to do and destroyed their original vision.@@boneykingofsomewhere
@@boneykingofsomewhere if they hadn’t milked Fortnite as much as they did this game wouldn’t be where it is at now
This is giving me videogamedunkey "I'm done with League of Legends" vibes
Nah that video was just dunkey coping with the fact he got perma banned for endorsing suicide
it's giving alright no cap
He also actually quit league after that thought so
@@jpuc5568 he first of all didnt endorse "society" but said he should be gunned down irl, and second he was banned for like a week. also nothing he said is wrong even in 2024 if you actually play league, its just china games dont know how to censor someone
From what I know, Retals and AppJack's two pros on one keyboard is unqiue. It's become my favorite RL content. It's absolutely halarious and interesting to watch them essentially relearn mechanics while using their game knowledge the best as possible. The biggest reason I watch it and am glad they decided not to stop it is that it's the few unique videos I've seen.
Whatever you do next you're going to crush. What makes your videos good is you, and your editing style. Rocket League may have been the reason to start, but personally I'm excited to see where you take your talents.
Always said I selfishly wish I had the money to pay you full time to edit. You got this 👍
Thank you i always loved watching your reactions to the ole meme rewinds
As a fellow unc, I hear this, nothing for me will come close to the community in 2018-2020 and it comes down to those in charge of the game and esports decisions. You have a talent for entertaining digestible content & I'm sure if you are actually passionate about the basis of the content it will be great quality that people will stick around for.
o7
thank you sir, our 3v3 games that we turned into 1v1 backboard booms to each other will never be forgotten
I wanna keep holding on... I know it's futile... But I wanna believe as foolish as it may be.... Things will never be the same. Nothing fills the hole pre Epic Rocket League left behind... Not even Rocket League itself. Rest in peace little one🪦 Your journey is almost complete.

I truly felt this. I mean ive been thinking about this problem for a long time with Rocket League it just continues to be cemented in stone as the months and years go by. Ive been playing Rocket League since 2015 with my best friend for so long. We would spend so many hours playing. He then took a step back to focus on college and I continued to grind. I loved the competitive and mechanical ceiling of the game and I eventually became a coach. I would coach players from any rank and then eventually worked with a few semi pro teams and it was awesome the community and feeling to be part of such a unique game. But then I quit. My drive for the game tanked in 2021. I was dealing with a lot of mental health problems and trying to struggle through school. I had lost the drive and I lost the feeling of love that came from Psyonix when working on their game. It was very apparent the game needed some attention. And I really thought Epic might actually help support Psyonix and grow the game, but instead it received nothing, got its name put in Fortnite and its name added to the money pit that is modern games. It really hurts seeing a game I was so passionate about and cared for fade into the unknown. I know I am not the only person who feels this way either. And eSports is still fun to watch, but it doesnt have the same charm as the first 8 seasons of RLCS. The worst part is I traded playing RL for playing Overwatch and if yall know, you know that game also struggles with their dev team and balancing, but at least they are trying every update that comes out. But its just sad seeing these major competitive games die for the casual player. Especially with how special Rocket League is, such a unique concept for a game and a 1 of a kind. I will also love Rocket League and the true drive it gave me for competitive video games, but I just wish it would receive the love it should from Psyonix and Epic.
I completely get this Speech, I've had the same thoughts recently as an Unc myself. The only thing that's really keeping me going is RLCS and the friends I have in the RLCS. With that being said you keep making your documentary style videos for other games and I'm going to keep watching them. I wish you luck with whatever you do next.
The fact that 3/4 maps for Lethamyrs showcased videos are my maps is hilarious to me
☠️ false
Ya you kill it with the maps man I've had some good times playing them with friends. Thanks for the fun times.
2:59, 2 seconds in is beyond crazy💀
I don't know what I am more mad about. The idea that this video suggests the only thing I do is SSL vs Grand Champion videos when its a miniscule percentage (like 2 or 3?) of my almost 1000 videos, OR the fact that the video is right that no matter what whenever I do the video does well.
As someone who is looking to go full-time content doing Rocket League content here soon, I hear your sentiment. Here's to hoping there's a way for all of us to pivot if need be, but I fear I may be nothing without Dark(?)
Full time poor
full time cc until 2025
as rocket league's certified #1 hater this video is too real. always interested in people calling out the game for the shit that it is. used to love it, but it's hard to love a game when the people in charge clearly don't
that’s where i am with destiny right now. I know the devs care, but the people in charge are driving it into the ground
The game is not the problem….
I'm not buying the "I'm Old" thing. I'm almost 50 and started in 2015 and don't plan on stopping. I'll probably be stuck in Diamond at this point, but especially being older I feel pretty good about that too.
Rocket League came out after my 30th birthday. I never had a chance to be as good as the pros but found great satisfaction in reaching C3
It's about perspective though.
The point is that I feel completely detached from the community at this point because Epic attract swathes of children. I'm still playing the game cause it's fun as hell, but I'm not devoting a big portion of my life to it anymore
I am 41 and started in 2015 too.
This is one the greatest game ever made imo. But I dont have fun anymore. I play occasionally with friends that still want to play. 4K hours on this game.
Trust me you're the only 50 year old saying this, probably because you got nothing to play either
I am happy to have met you in the scene! Looking forward to the new content 🤝
I still haven't launched the game since they removed trading, and it is funny seeing Rocket League RUclipsrs trying (with varying degrees of success) to keep finding fresh ideas.
Ty speech for ur amazing vids u put out. Each one of them was so different from other rl content that it was really refreshing to watch😊. Cya
whatever this type of editing and commentary is called i like it
im coining it garf style
the one val clip made me giggle more than any rocket league content has in a while
i haven't played rocket league in my life time but i can feel this
5:15 id love to see what new content you make!
Kinda crazy that almost every single rocket league creator is coming to this same conclusion and this was such an avoidable thing. If they just listened to the community more over the years I can only imagine where the game would be and how different things could be. Either way, definitely going to sub and see what you make going forward!
We're going to miss you Speech ♥
I liked the part where he dissed your tiktok
@@zChiicken ☹
I feel like rocket league itself is the closest thing to an actual virtual sport. Basketball has not changed in so long and it’s still fun to play
Nowadays I just watch ApparentlyJack ranking up, Wayton, Musty occasionally and I think Jhzer plays Tekken and rarely every few months we get a moiments. And your videos have been the most interesting to watch this year. It's fun to watch Sunless making videos about rocket league being depressing and kind of making fun of players and how they behave in a way? Didn’t know he had a history channel :D Sad to see the game dying on RUclips as well :(
yea i quit rl quite a while ago and i remember saying and hearing "i hope epic doesnt ruin this game ". unfortunately as you said, it took the soul out of the game and i dont enjoy playing it anymore and havent for a while. Nothing good has came out since epic and they took things away. your video is basically exactly how i feel about the game. 👍
If you hate Epic Games, then you hate Unreal Engine as well for being made by Epic Games, not because you think that it is terribly optimized with terrible framerate!
@@elite-forcecinema1788 your comment makes 0 sense. For one I never said I hate epic games. And 2, that doesn't even make sense that if I hated epic then I hate unreal engine.... did you have any thoughts before commenting that?
Shit. It hurts. This game has so much potential. I loved your content and i can't bear the other games. Fps ? I don't like playing kbm or improving my aim. Other games ? Yeah i like subnautica, minecraft... But none of them are competitive games. Not one can be compared to rocket league. Not one can make me love to hit shots when im just alone playing in free play. And still, Epic's ruining everything. Every content creators i like, except for the one truly passionnate. Every bit of fun i have in this game is just fading away as epic's incapability and nonchalance is growing every day where they don't add anything exciting to this game. I fell in love with this game but still it is dying days after days, being eaten bit by bit by a company caring only abt immediate profit, not knowing what managing a game is like. Sorry man i hope you have fun on your journey... Im staying subscribed bcs im curious but this shit is way too depressing (it doesn't affect me that much in my life but i hate what's happenning to the game. It could be the number 1 game in the world but epic is too dumb to realise. It's too unfair)
try smash melee
@@weilzudope Thx but no i dont like these games :/
I used to load this game up in the early days and just the music choice they made as it booted to the main menu was perfect and even that was so thoughtfully done, it got me so hyped to play the game, and now? Lmao it’s just depressing to boot it up, it just lazily turns on and goes to the menu with some random generic song
Very true I never thought about that. Even back then the music had soul, now you can tell it's just whatever makes them money.
Hey bro, I just wanted to say thank you for all the RL content you've made over the years
This is the first I've heard of you and am now subbed, can't wait to see what you can do other than RL.
Meanwhile, me from an Overwatch side... We were nearly in the same boat as well 😭 the most popular videos end up being 1 v 10 rank stuff, elo hell stuff, or why the game is dying.
Though I can say that we do fortunately get more "content" in comparison to RL, I can sympathize with this feeling.
We had it damn near back around 2020 when the game received zlich updates for a "sequel"... The purpose of the sequel that soon got cancelled was to focus on PvP. Couldn't help but feel deja vu, sorry the community is going through this ❤
You're still in the same boat and never got out of it since then lol
Proud of you man. Takes a lot to give up something that was your passion and something that 90% of your viewers came to you about, but we both know you'll be best off continuing down a path that is healthy and better suited for your platform! It's sad that this game got old the moment Epic bought it, but in some sense it's okay. It means moving on as hard as it is. Wishing the best for you bro!
Uhhhh never played or watched any rocket league, idk why this was in my recommended, but the video was enjoyable.
It's a game that's sole existence is to play soccer with flying cars and nothing else, I'm fucking surprised it even lasted this long but you can't really change anything or add to a sports game that's just...soccer
Yeah and even if they made rocket league 2 theres is literally nothing to improve exepct graphics
Honestly I still feel like creative mode would have changed the whole thing
I think RL is damn fine to play. I don't care about bs content videos. It's OK to have a game thats on its own enjoyable.
It's so sad seeing how rocket league is dying. I've discovered this game in 2020 when I was in search for new games with my friend. He didn't feel it, I loved it from the beginning and it became my favourite game since. 4,5 years passed and after 1,3k hours of playing I still do like launching the game and playing for some time while listening to music, but it's not the same now. What is more, I am going to the university soon and I won't have that much time as I had, so I'm also at the finishing stage I guess.
Never saw your content before, this video is the only one that got recommended to me, but I fully agree with you and I'm glad you're honest about how you feel. Good luck on your future plans!
it died when it went epic store exclusive. The graveyard of games
Even worse, it became a Fortnite mode. Also rip all harmonix games.
If you hate Epic Games, then you hate Unreal Engine as well for being made by Epic Games, not because you think that it is terribly optimized with terrible framerate!
I almost hit champ rank about 6-10 times. I’m not the most mechanical player, I have clear deficits in things I’ve basically refused to learn like wave dashing, better flip control, kickoffs and especially air control - however, I’ve been consistently high Diamond ceiling for years; primarily MMR tanked all around, I’ve been PLAT for three seasons. I’ve been angry and depressed, it’s like watching 8 year olds that think they’re really good, and having teams make bronze choices constantly. I get my kicks and joy from The Crew 2 these days, consistently top 4k in weekly PvP, and just try to ambient coexist in Rocket League without losing my sanity. I relate to pretty much all of this. Best of luck in your current and future endeavors. Do what makes you happy. It’s all that really matters in life.
If they atleast kept trade the game would have an ok playerbase, but since they took it off, ROCKET LEAGUE IS DEAD.
As a very casual player (since 2016, about 950 hours), I see rocket league as doing great. I love that it's something I can depend on, like chess the core game never changes. I'm a big counterstrike enjoyer too because it doesn't change much either.
In an era of online service games that change the meta every month, it's nice to have something that's consistent and familiar to go back to. No matter what it feels like the same exact game as 2016 and I love it for that.
I don't like the removal of trading (I was quite sad about that), but I overall think the epic acquisition was positive in my eyes. Sure, we lost trading but before the acquisition cute times were getting kind of long and I kept going up against the same players. As long as the base game is the same and there's a good pool of players I'm happy.
I definitely understand your complaints, but as someone who's very casual about the game none of it really touches me personally. I don't find myself wanting more from the game ever. Honestly I don't understand how a racing game would really work. I think new content is good, don't get me wrong but I think you're just getting bored of the game. The game is pretty much the exact charming masterpiece it was when you started playing, you just are losing interest and that's okay. I don't think you should hang on every little potential content release to try and save the feeling like someone who's desperately trying to save a romantic relationship that's just not working out anymore for either person.
With that said though, I wish they would do something about toxic players. Perhaps they could implement a system similar to what overwatch has with commending players for good behavior?
Solid comment. Often, I think it's us casual folks that enjoy it because we don't take it all that seriously. We haven't made it our whole identity, we haven't made a job out of it...we just play, and remember that it's still just a silly little game about cars playing soccer.
I left it 2 years ago. They easily could create new modes but instead focus on the rocket pass and stupid skin items
Only thing I have to say in regards to your points has to do with RLCS. I think this is the best time period we've seen for the competitive scene from a skill level. No one watches hockey, football, or baseball to elementary gameplay and mistakes. That's usually what gets people upset. People want to watch high level professional gameplay. And with all of the current knowledge the pro scene has, it's making for fantastic rocket League. The thing I think should have been mentioned is the funding/marketing for RLCS and non psyonix organized events not being as prevalent (the ewc, FIFA event, and upcoming 1s/2s/3s events are a good start.)
And just another thing to note, the lack of involvement of pros in the social media space. Some are active on Twitter, but majority of them aren't on twitch or RUclips. A lot of people gravitate towards kaydop, squishy, retals, appjack because they put in the time and effort to upload content or stream all the time. We get to see their personalities. These are relatively older pros as well, and none of the younger pros are at that same level of content
Amazing send off, wouldn’t expect anything less from you. Glad we got to do that collab vid, looking forward to whatever nexts in your YT journey ❤
Well I wasn’t here for the RL content I just got this in my recommended feed. I subbed excited for the new journey bro.
rocket league exists?
Bruh
bro this is the first vid ive seen of urs and i subbed for ur future content editing is funny
2:13 WTF was that? That can’t be real right??
I went back like "did I hear that shit right?"
Ive never seen one of your videos, anti rocket leauge videos truly do break the algorithm
rl is so dead
One of the actual best rl videos ive seen in a year lol hope you have success in your next endeavors!
I quit RL 6 months ago and I haven‘t missed it lol. Problem is, I won’t get back all the time I wasted on that game.
First video I've seen of yours. Best of luck, I like your style of video creation!
I've drifted away from epic's games as a whole, removing trading was the last straw on RL for me and fortnite gave me a perfect sendoff with the OG season. Haven't looked back since.
I’ve not played Rocket League in probably 8 years, and I never paid attention to RUclips videos about it. I love the way this video was made and had to throw a subscribe your way. Looking forward to whatever you put out next!
i kinda agree with the rlcs thing
ive been thinking that for a minute, everyone is so good and so close to the skill cap, that like, there's no real difference in players. you hide the names and it's impossible to tell who is who- they all play perfect
I love this game but it feels like I’m chasing something I’ll never have. I always want to improve but I’m never quite good enough. Could be a me problem but it stresses me out.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is real.
People don't complain about Super Smash Bros not having new content. The game doesn't need it. It's essentially a sport. You don't hear NFL players going "I wish we had football racing"
Smash does get a little bit of new stuff, but I agree with what you’re saying. Especially cause there’s no classes or skill trees in RL it’s just soccer with rc cars, it’s simplicity is the greatest strength but also a limiting factor
100% Like...the game's still there. Nothing's changed. Like, who cares if the new DLC sucks? You still have the game and all the old content that you liked before, none of that went away.
I really don't understand the mentality of needing a constant steam of new content in order to not hate something. I came for car soccer, and I still get to play car soccer. Everything else is just window dressing.
@@ASFalcon13 Exactly, people's attention span is too small these days. They need something new and shiny to stimulate their brain. It's sad because I wish we didn't need people like that playing but it's the only reason Epic Games keeps the game alive because it makes them money. I have a feeling in a few years we will have to download the game off of some website and use a private server. That's what they did with Mario Kart for the Wii
The difference between Smash Bros and Rocket League is that Smash has a lot more room for creativity and trying out new things. There are 89 characters in Smash, each with completely different moves and playstyles. There are plenty of community-made stages that are easy to play in-game. It was also publicly announced that there was going to be very few updates to the game after Sora was released. Rocket League, on the other hand, just started going downhill after Epic Games took over. Updates slowed down, and the updates that did come out mostly just removed meaningful content (i.e. trading, dropshot/snowday switching to a rotation) and added new low-effort cars. It has turned from a company that cares about the game being in charge to a company that is just attempting to suck as much money out of the game as possible before it dies.
@@therealjollification ...and if Rocket League's updates actually affected game, you might have a point. But they don't. The game standardized to 6 hitboxes and a single arena layout in 2017, nearly 2 years before Epic ever got their hands on it. The game's never been about giving players a huge amount of movesets and character balances, it's always been about giving everyone the same platform and letting player skill itself be the differentiator.
So, like I said, window dressing. Doesn't matter what new cosmetics come out, it's always the same six hitboxes and single arena underneath.
It might sound like I'm criticizing RL here, but I'm not - like @thisgoodstuff4057 pointed out, it's more like a real-world sport in that respect. Going back to the NFL...aside from the goalposts being moved to the back of the end zone in 1974, football fields have been a standard size for over a century. There are plenty of folks playing RL for precisely that reason: because it's a simple, standardized core concept that rewards player skill, and isn't getting continually cluttered up by the endless addition of badly-balanced addons.
I'll concede the point about Dropshot and Snow Day (since I'm a big Snow Day fan), but I couldn't care any less about trading (since, again, the tradeables didn't affect gameplay anyway).
All the power to you. I jumped late on the rl wagon and after 3 seasons and barely touching champ I’m tired of it. Toxic teammates are not the exception, they’re the rule. So much so that I already expect it going in a game. When I make a mistake I’m already dreading the next comm from my teammate. It’s just not fun anymore.
Rocket League just isn’t the type of game you are supposed to make RUclips content about. You could, and you have done so, but rocket league content is meant to be played or watched in a sport setting.
Kind of disagree. Always liked watching people like neat mike and mertzy playing and joking with other people. The sport aspect i think is kind of boring in this game everyone feels too good.
I was never interested in RL content and never saw a single video about it, but this video was recommended to me for some reason.
I really liked the style of humor in the video, your editing and pacing got some pretty good giggles out of me, so I'm now subscribed and will be looking forward to your future content!
Best of luck!
rocket league isnt dead.
Ever since I discovered your channel I’ve liked you a lot as a creator. You have a bigger future than just Rocket Leauge (especially how the game is doing now). It is very understandable that you are leaving it behind and I’m looking forward to your future content. I stopped playing myself, even tho I had this game since 2015, it had it’s time and it was great while it lasted. I wish you the best on your journey and I know that many of your viewers will stick around for more as well❤
> Hit Grand Champion
> 2 months later Epic games buys RL
> Quit RL because of it
> Never come back
Without regret, best decision ever
Bro u just got a sub, screw epic for what they did, RL trading as a kid is what got me into game market places.
Goodbye. Nice not knowing you.
Feels weird how people with so much talent just don't get as much attention because they just don't are lucky enough to be passionate of the right game. Keep on with your good work, the numbers on this video demonstrate that you're capable of achieving a good youtube career!
Videogames were never meant to be played forever. Live service games are a symptom of late stage capitalism, they just dont go with the medium. You youngsters grew up with it though so perhaps don't know any different.
Ironically I used to watch a lot of RL content yet never heard of you. Now that I stopped consuming said content you pop up in my feed with an announcement that you're gonna stop making content for RL and now imma sub 😂
Don't know why RUclips recommended me this. I don't play Rocket League nor watch Rocket League videos. All I got was a dude yapping to say one simple thing that could be compiled in a twitter post. lol
fr
Could be, sure. But since you lacked context, that's RUclips's fault. Really weird they'd recommend it to you. For those of us who loved this game for years and saw it neglected and destroyed by Epic, a Twitter post don't cut it.
Who uses twitter lmao
pipe down loony troon@@ExtroCalpha
i dont blame you mate, i used to make a lot of rocket league content around 2018-2021 but nothing new was coming out and i struggled to make RL content. After some time my channel died because i wasn't uploading. now im cluelessly uploading stuff and have no idea what content I'm meant to be making anymore.
Bro, i played this game from 2015 to this year, I just couldnt do it anymore. They slaughtered this game, from taking away trades, to 0 updates in game modes, same recycled cars, money grabs every chance they could. Truly a shame because it was such a good game
I’m 31, I’ve got 3000 hours on the game, I’ve loved it so much but you are so right. The game is literally dying and nothing is done to even try to save it. It’s just so sad. At this point I just couldn’t have anymore fun on it, people got so frustrated playing this game they get so aggressive and toxic it’s very hard not to become toxic as well, because it’s only every time. It ruined so many good days I had, and only way to get better again was to quit a game I love. So good luck in whatever you are going for and if anyone can relate to what you said in this video i warmly recommend you to quit the game, it’s for the best. Maybe someday we could hope someone realise everyone is quitting, and he would eventually do something about it. Cheers everyone
even tho i have never played or really watched RL, its still sad to see a game like RL die after so many years.
Very relatable man, imma subscribe just to see what you do next
Earned a sub from me. This is one of the clearest and most concise videos I have seen on the topic.
I for one am excited to see what new doors open up before you with rocket league in your rear view mirror.
Hey mate I'm staying subbed :) lets see what you do next. I've just quit RL after playing since 2015 which I felt a bit sad about initially but the game really has lost its soul :( . Your content has been awesome to watch and remember all the odd goings on that happened during the games life - thanks for that. I especially loved your video on Kamii since I was in the OCE community... Such a weird story. Good luck with your videos in the future, I'll be sure to tune in
I've been playing since not long after launch and have struggled more and more the last few years as well. I don't want to drop the game that has brought new friends and so much good into my life, not to mention the hours that I have poured into it, but it hasn't given anything back in a long, long time and that makes it so hard to continue. Totally agree with all your points here. I wasn't subbed before, but I am now. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future, speech!
Never played rocketleague, but you seem enjoyable to watch so i subbed
RIP a real one. We had a good run. Seems the outcome of all games is they are forgotten.
Maybe id play more if the entire community wasn’t stuck in plat/diamond
Completely true about everything, I also felt after the removing of Trading, Rocket League was suffering the treatment Overwatch once took, both in the casual game play and the pro game play of an open division league rather than a 'closed' division league
good on you for stepping back without fear! i used to make rocket league content, and i grew tired very quickly. as a champ, there is absolutely no content i can make that the algo favors anymore… so i moved on! i took a leap of faith and it’s working out better. i’m 100% certain it’ll work for you!
The racing game mode bit is hilarious and accurate 😂😂😂
Honestly, this is the 1st video you made that I am watching, and the community of this game is now so ret(!!,8. Really all Fortnite kids who spend more time being toxic about everything you do wrong but that they probably spend 95% of the time doing themselves. So I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to see what you do in the future
Staying subbed of course, I quit rocket league a while back as well but I could only handle 3k hours of this game. Most of it prior to the SSL / F2P update, good times. Best of luck, looking forward to seeing what you’ll put out on this channel 8)
