A phone game from a prominent developer that has a working model on their other games so how do they screw that up

Not really. Not all plats are smurfs.

So slow play

I'm playing mostly solos

There is a potential for smurfing at all levels. All a smurf is, is someone who loses on purpose to manipulate their rank to be something lower than their actual skill. You probably see it mostly at lower levels. If I suspect someone is smurfing there is nothing wrong with that.

Because this game is clearly full of them. I really believe that based on my observations. Can't deny they exist. If someone is just better fine, but someone being significantly better? To me that really is an indicator of someone smurfing.

You sure you were in ranked

I'm playing solo. And 4 games in a row I was paired with someone is supposedly plat in a recent season. Me never being plat means that they're clearly better than me. So why is it doing that. It absolutely is strange unless they're lying about their current rank

His videos are long and sometimes he rambles, but he goes in depth a lot.

So then psyonix should put their rank there like they do in regular rocket league. Then we would know for sure if they are currently plat or not. It's definitely off though when gold players are consistently paired with plat level players. You don't think that's a bit strange that it would be pairing you up with people significantly better.

I'm trying, but it's getting annoying to constantly get paired up with plats. I dropped down to lower gold 2 now because of it.

I would rather not get destroyed and therefore would prefer the system actually match me with people closes to my rating. It's horrible to get trounced in a game. I also wouldn't mind if they weren't doing all these ridiculous flips as a way of messing with you. It bugs me out.

Just for fun sometimes.

Guess you haven't seen any of Tim's videos then. They're geared towards both beginners through advanced.

I read what you said, but I have now nullified all I've read due to your a-holism.

They don't hurt me. I'm pointing out that you don't know who you're talking to so be respectful. Technically it's harassment based on a disability, or perceived disability. If you want to be an a-hole that's on you, but I don't back down from bullies.

You did not explain that. You didn't present it in this way. You just kept saying it prevents them from communicating with you. So if that's the only thing then I would imagine it's not very useful. Again now though. Watch your mouth and the way you talk to people.

Calling someone brain dead because you disagree with them though? Quit acting like you're in kindergarten. Be a man. Have a real conversation. I actually do have a neurological condition, but nothing to do with understanding or intelligence. So maybe watch your mouth.

Not at all. You just don't understand that if you don't want to talk so someone that there is a mute button/setting. So it once again proves that the block button is useless. This whole stupid side conversation about blocking has strayed from my original post.

Unfortunately, that's the only thing it's good for, but there is a mute chat button if I don't want to talk. Like everything we're talking about has already been put into the report button.

Again, that's already under the report functionality for griefing

So then again, they should remove the block button then. What is it good for? Nothing. It's just there to make people feel better.
