This game is SUCH an absolute MASSIVE goldmine of an opportunity, it could be to video games what Football/Soccer is to sports. I think there just isn't anybody at Epic/Psyonix with the vision to make it so, truly their loss. The physics and play of the game, it's just perfect, and if you just give it the overall game the redesign it deserves, make the look cleaner with a little more edge and take in aesthetic and design qualities that remind one of football leagues across the world, go balistic on the training packages using all the best of the workshops but make it polished and with trophies and badges along the way, and redo some of the yawn inducing UI screens you've got yourself a global gaming phenomon the likes of which have never been seen before.

The problem with this is that the game has too steep of a learning curve at this point. It’s very hard to get my friends to play rocket league who’ve never played before because they can’t hit the ball and get discouraged. It takes hundreds of hours to get even somewhat good at rocket league and that will always stop it from being the biggest game.

@@Evan2768 i will say encouraging your bad friends to play together and have fun WITHOUT you on the side, is a great way for them to slowly get better. Ive had 5 of my friends get into the game over the last year, and one of them is already playing in high diamond (even survives in some of my gc lobbies). You just personally gotta remember why the game was so incredible to you in the first place. its just fun.

For me a downgrade compared to last season was always going to happen so it doesnt come as a suprise, but a lot of thing are not as bad as they sound, we already knew we would get 2 splits, na and eu getting -1 spot sucks but its understandable since mena and ssa deserved to have +1, the pricepool being down is completely fine since we less events (on average this season has a higher pricepool). For me the thing they really fucked up is everyone is playing at the same weekend, no brakes and top teams having to go through the qualifier’s

now all but 8 na/eu orgs will have an 8 month offseason. that's insane if you want to retain orgs. Think about how many orgs left or were close to leaving with this last offseason and it was 5 months
@FECRWN6 ай бұрын
Thats also a really bad thing i didnt include, lets hope they made room for dreamhacks and stuff. I think a lot of orgs will leave because no one is paying someone 8 months while they do nothing and because every team plays in open quals there is no certainty that ur team gets on the main stage
@Agrinu996 ай бұрын
Exactly, I think most people just look at the decrease in total prize pool and stuff of that nature and don't even look at the situation itself, obviously the prize pool is going to be lower due to the economic state of e-sports and there's literally 1 less split. I continuously hear pros saying how long they take to pay, and some haven't even got paid from last season, if theres lack of money, you gotta cut, it's just the nature of business, if it was blast, they did what they could with what they got. It wasn't perfect, full open quals for example, but still, most are overreacting to some extent like Jack said.

How can you have a discussion around the new RLCS format with people in it they are actually getting paid for casting the RLCS ? How is that debate going to be honest in any way ? These questions don't even need an answer when you see how the casters try to stay as moderate as possible.
@anaklusmos27916 ай бұрын
I personally don't mind the longer off season. My biggest issue was that despite all these events announced to happen, RL Esports did zero promotion for any of it. I barely watched any of the off season events because I couldn't keep track of it since they weren't there to promote it. Like all it took was for their twitter account to retweet stuff from the other organizers but the account went completely silent.

They have all of the Fortnite tournaments fully open because there are so many levels of qualifiers and winning in Fortnite is much more consistent where someone can’t just peak on you ruining your tournament. They also have it where you have a set amount of time to play games and get points to advance so even if you die early like 5 times you can still make it to the next round if you are a pro

as much as the age of players being lowered is fairly insane and not what anyone wanted. I think a huge thing that literally everyone has missed with it is that its the same age policy epic already had in place for FNCS. if there was merger of esports departments at epic/psyonix it makes sense that they all use the same rules to avoid any planning issues or confusion when implementing things The day open quals is no different to RMR quals or the prior Day one opens. likely short bo3 where they run through the bracket fairly quick

Well yes, that's football which operates through a well structured fixed league. Comparing esports formats to real sports just doesn't work.

The World Series of Poker is open and exciting bc you rarely ever see the previous winner win another one back to back, but Poker has an element of RNG whereas RLCS is orgs and teams working their ass of to grind to be the best players in the world. This is doesn't seem as "exciting" as it sounds. There are repercussions that have too much "variance", as Jack alluded to, that make the competition super weak and not fun. I've seen a few pros who are thinking of retiring bc of this poor format. There's gotta be another way to do this so the pro's who are great get the benefits of seeding and/or placements. Open tourney format boils down to too variance and not enough consistency.

Only 4 NA teams at majors and worlds? That's stupid. Should be 6 at the minimum, 8 teams preferably. NA teams (and EU teams some as well) carry the most interest for fans and other players. The NA and EU markets are where the interest is greatest and player counts are highest. So they need more focus. They needed to keep majors and worlds at like 22 teams. So NA could have 8 teams. EU could have 6 teams. And the rest could be like in the announcement. But it's whatever I guess. They aren't going to change it now. No matter how stupid it is. lol.

This is Epic Games slowly killing off Rocket League. They don't like that Rocket League is it's own separate thing and it's own separate game that you don't have to log in to Fortnite to play. They want EVERYTHING to be inside Fortnite like Fortnite is somehow it's own gaming platform... And Rocket League isn't right now so they are hoping it just dies one day. That's why they took away trading. That's why they made these changes to RLCS. And I'll be surprised if they don't somehow make Rocket League playable inside Fortnite. And then use that as an excuse to destroy the old Rocket League servers and hard reset everyone or something else crazy. Rocket League isn't Their creation. So they don't care about it. It's like a step-child they never wanted.
