They said “A LOT OF FIXES” in new update notes. They didnt FIX main problems. At least resolve alt f4 and make us happy developers…
This is from the patch notes. I still dont have any idea on how they will try to fix this based on this statement. I hope the fix will be a good one. They are also looking into the unreiable TG elo, which is fine too. Both together are just killing TGs at this moment. So i really hope for a fix in the very near future.
The fact that they’ve provided an indication of their stance on the issue is already an improvement, and I’m hoping they’ve got something good. Honestly I’d rather them take what time they need to make a good change instead of rushing out something to stop this but cause other issues further down the line.
No, it is the result of bad server connections, which are really common since the latest update. If you go to the main menu you probably also see that you aren’t connected. I had this all the time yesterday.
Ah, thx for letting me know.
1v1 arabia works like a charm. So I guess with 4v4s there is more chance for errors.
This issue should improve once the servers have a few more days to be stable right?
It should immediately improve after the devs fix the server issue. But i have no idea when the will fix it.

I don’t think more bans is good, keep it as is.
Add an option in the lobby for “only this map” which greys out the others and essentially enters a matchmaking system with only those looking for that map.
Either that, or apply sanctions as described above. (or both)
Been following this thread for a bit and the way I see it, 1.) there are terrible maps, 2.) there are staple maps (but only 2-3 of the are consistent in the rotation, 3.) greatly favored arabia-styled maps in the rotation, 4.) there are bad maps that are forced (yes, forced) on the community-ranked players.
Whether it be Zone, Voobly, or HD, players have always played the ranked games THEY want to play. This was never an issue. Ever. You wanted to play a certain map but had to wait for it? Fine, you waited. You wanted to binge arabia or BF? Fine, you got to binge.
Not sure what the methodology from the Devs is with this current implementation of the DE ranked map rotation. However, it does feel that the community has taken a back seat to this.
Worse, if there is penalty implemented with this, the community base will shrink a little more.
Listen, I like to play the ranked maps I like to play. Sux when they go out of rotation. Yes, I’m not a fan of the arabia-BO-playing. I like a little randomness in the mix. However, I despise ruining other’s people’s enjoyment with a map I know nothing about or how to play (e.g. Coastal Forest). So, let me play the ranked maps I want to play,. If I have to wait, so be it. But I’m sure with those maps that I know and play, I’ll play pretty well and certainly won’t ruin anyone else’s playing experience.

Get out premades, and then it will be way way much easier to match people together with the prefered maps.
Premades is the main problem of rankeds TGs. Then allow audio into the game.
Totally agree that penalties will shrink the community. The only players that will be left will be the ones asking the overlords to punish them harder.
Been playing this game for 20 years, and I’ve always played the map I want to play on ranked. Sometimes its Arabia, and sometimes its Arena. I hope MS plans to actually fix the issue, rather than punish people who dont want maps forced on them.

nobody’s forced to play matchmaking. the devs deciding not to have a PSR alongside MMR is an oof.
zone, voobly, and HD didn’t have a matchmaking queue.
it’s matchmaking, where the intent is to, by merit, sort players by skill in random map games. go figure.
so long as there’s one rating for all the maps it’d be irresponsible to allow you to have a rating for all maps based off one map.
so do I. but giving players the ability to decide what map should decide their rating for all maps isn’t a fix.
You gave a bunch of snarky responses to arguments people didn’t actually make.
As for my part, I’ll give a comparison: If Rocket League started putting me into Dropshot when I wanted to play Rumble, and punished me for leaving the match, I would stop playing Rocket League, even though its just a 5-minute match. Arabia and Arena are two completely different play styles, and I’ll choose which one to play, just as I have done in ranked for 20 years.

and the rankeds should be dictated by only 2 maps if you wanna play only these 2 you probably will have to wait a bit longer
but the main thing is that every map should matter in the ranked enviroment
aswell as it shouldt be tolerated that people alt f4 because they wanna grief other players and have their way when its about everyone not just them
don’t go using people’s middle name without permission
that doesn’t make sense
we’re not putting you into Empire Wars when you queue for Random Map. You aren’t queuing for one game mode and getting another. You’re queuing for a random map and not liking the random map.
Rocket league doesn’t have map variety in it’s game modes. Almost like it’s not a feature for that game, where map variety is the feature of AOE2.
They just need to upgrade it to the same system as voobly… and scrap the current ranked match making. Because I doubt that they’ll ever be able to fix the myriad of issues that combine to give the bad experience that many are having in ranked.
how exactly would it change?
never played voobly thats why i asked

ALT+F4 wouldn’t make any sense, because if you don’t like the description of a lobby, you can just leave and that is basically acceptable. Voobly is like a ranked lobby.

They don’t have to remove anything imo.
They just have to add the ranked/unranked button to rooms from the lobby. Like in voobly.
They could add in game friend lists too while they are at it.
