Armymed101 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Why does it never seem to fail that we have some of the most toxic players at night? I swear when I play during the day, USA CT, I have hard working teammates. But at night? Nope. The actual teamwork dies and angry children play. It really ruins the fun sometimes... Maybe it's just me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armymed101 Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) I swear.... I can't stand some of the crap that happens in Rocket League. Like, it's a soccer game, with race cars. I just was playing a match and some dude PM'ed me saying that, "You are such a *****. Get good and maybe you wont have to kill yourself." Like, wtf?

Maybe it's just me As long as you give an option to Text Chat or Microphone, you're going to have idiots. That's why I hate companies that automatically have Voice Chat the second you join a lobby. It should be muted for everyone, then if you want to hear all the different ways that some kid is going to 'do your mum', you can unmute. I shouldn't have to go down every single person to do it myself. Also, I shouldn't have to mute my own microphone every time, it should be auto-off. But yeah, on Rocket League the other day, it was a steam of 'noooooooooob' and tw@t all down my screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet_Boi_208 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 People are less skilled during the night, so they generally take games less seriously, and act less skillfully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just me Yes, it's disgusting - I whole-heartedly agree - and unfortunately it is only getting worse. This type of behaviour has basically taken over all online play, as it pushes any decent people away from engaging at all, with almost any game. The problem is, plenty of decent people try online. They see this kind of shit eventually, and sooner or later, they decide to just avoid the whole scene just to avoid it. The kind of seepage that sends these messages, on the other-hand, never sees a bunch of decent people's interactions and decides to avoid the scene. They are generally emboldened by seeing decent people leave, so the pool of players just gets smaller and the rhetoric and abuse more concentrated, until the whole scene is a grotesque clot of racist, sexist, homophobic, mean-spirited, unsportsmanlike indecency. Nowadays, going online in games is like going into a toxic environment. If you are going to do it at all, take precautions: *Mute all players, ALWAYS. *Turn off all messages from non-friends. *Never friend anyone you don't know. *Never become 'good-friends' with anyone. *Never turn on a mic. *Assume everyone is a cnut, and try to steel yourself against any behaviour coming your way. *Screenshot anything you see that gets through, and report everything. - If possible, save it to report at the best possible time. (For example, if the messages you get are in something like Call of Duty, save the message, then report it just before the release of the next game, so any temporary ban will affect the perpetrator at the most inconvenient time.)

FawltyPowers Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Don't worry about it, just feel pity for the person sending it. They are so angry inside that they feel they have to send you a message to make themselves feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I merged the topics @Armymed101 since they were very similar topics. You can discuss about toxic experiences in general in one topic. OT: I heard Rocket league was pretty bad but DBD is pretty toxic too. When I finally decide to try Rocket league, it'll be interesting to see how much more/less toxic it is in comparison. Ultimately, it was the reason I stopped playing DBD. Wonder if I'll get the same type of feeling with this game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowxSakura Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 It's safe to assume any game that has an online component will have toxic players on it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnx-supak Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Rocket League requires a lot of skill. The game is unique, you don't have anything like it, meaning it takes a lot of practice to master and when you get decent some people think they are gods and better than everyone. I haven't played in a while now but this is what I learned from playing the game since 2016. (My highest rank was Champion III). Bronze - Learning, but usually aren't toxic unless they are playing against smurfs. Silver - They can now drive and jump somewhat consistently. Still not really toxic. Gold - They now hit the ball most times and score most easy goals. This is where toxicity starts. ''Bronzes and Silvers are trash'' Platinum - They mastered ground play and are starting to learn aerial play. Really toxic towards lower players. Diamond - You can now shoot, fly, do some cool shots, etc. You are now really good so you are even more toxic. (imo this is the most toxic rank tied with champions) Champions - You can now do pretty much everything. So usually they are a bit cocky because they finally reach the purple ranks stage (it's a hit or miss 50/50, either toxic or nice) GC - Never reached that rank but taking in mind I was C3 Div 3, I would say it's probably similar to champions but maybe not as bad. I stopped playing the game when they added the new ranks but again I would assume it's similiar to GC. Also huge ways to know if you are going to play with toxic players are: - Rude club names. - Rude player names - Have eSports teams on their Club Tag (usually these players are really up their own ass and think they are gonna be pros) - Have the Rocket League Championship Avatar. In the end this game is amazing, if the toxicity is bothering you, you can always change your chat settings to either Team Only or for the kickoff callouts only.

Quink666 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) You should play some Dead by Daylight. The people there are equally brain dead. Best thing you can do is either make it so only friends can message you, I don’t recommend it though or you can report them. It does the job. They either get a temp ban or a warning from Sony. You get notified if the report was valid or not just a few hours after the report. I myself enjoy the toxic messages. I always a good laugh to read some of the messages. You have to be a certain type lowlife to get upset enough to send angry messages to someone over a video game. Report and block!

RadiantFlamberge Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I just don't do multiplayer. If I did, I would mute all players and shut my mic off. Problem solved. In case someone does send you a toxic message, you really shouldn't deign to reply to them. Don't risk escalating it. Say nothing back. Just R&B.

Or if they send you toxic stuff via PS messages, report them and they will most likely get a mute or banned. I have got a few people banned this way for some right horrible messages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoyingtiger888 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hmm, I usually play early morning hours, around midnight to 5 am and I haven't run into anyone toxic. Most people just rage quit the game if they aren't winning lol But I also have voice chat turned off or am usually in a party, but been lucky with not getting messages. It seems like the higher tier side of things is a bit too competitive for my liking. I played with a friend of mine once and he's super high up there so the matchmaking scaled to his level instead of my new level. It was terrible lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiopile Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 the game can be frustrating, every match is like box of chocolates. it can also be amazing at times. just mute, turn off all chat and have some fun, it a game, not to be taken seriously unless that is your thing, don't expect everyone to do it the same as you though.

Frontzie Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) I've only come across one toxic player on RL, and that was earlier this evening. A few awful messages directed at myself and my fiancee, led to the both of us scoring own goals in order for the child to get mad and leave. It was fun, and the best way of making a toxic player leave. Edited February 10, 2021 by frontzie typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you are in the match and they are toxic etc ( Language/Racisim etc ) you can report them ingame while in the match with them. If you would like to report another player’s behavior during a match, go to the in-game menu and select Mute/Report. Select one of the following options: Verbal Text Harassment (offensive language, flooding, etc.) Unsportsmanlike conduct (intentional disruption of the game, AFK’ers. etc.) Cheating (smurfing, opponent collusion, etc.) AFK Farming (any use of automated bots for purpose of farming XP, Items, etc.) Inappropriate Club name (offensive club name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, its a football game with cars... I can not wait to get my last trophy for the platinum and leave this game for good... people like you need to realise its a game, some play for fun/casual and some play all the time... grow up!...Just saying. They get a rise out of people. Like you’re doing now. If no one reacted to them and stopped giving them exactly what they want, they’d stop.

True, but they need to be told the truth sometimes, they will never stop... its a shame, RL would be so much better without people like him... He seems to be a child anyway just from his reply.
