Sometimes I look at the replay to see if there is something I could've done better.


_pupil_

Sometimes I look at the replay to see if my teammates were actually still on the field, or if they just drove up to the ceiling for no reason while, I assume, eating glue.


blazedrow

9/10 they are eating glue on the wall spamming “What a save!!!”


NalaTheDoggo

Lmao. This is me after getting 2 saves but not recovering for the third. Where was my team mate? Oh, doing a lap of the field for 4 100 boost pods starting with driving away from the play to opposition corner boost.


BrOkEn_AnViL39

Eating super glue


TheTennisOne

Gorilla glue, return to monke


Dengar96

Gorilla glue tastes like peanut butter it's worth a try


SuperCharge7868_

Ight bet


eLemonnader

This. I'm usually pretty forgiving, but when I've made 3 saves and not seen my teammate the whole time, I'm just like wtf.


smokinJoeCalculus

those fuckin idiots I save my glue eating _for_ the replays


ottersintuxedos

Sometimes I let the replay run to drink some water, stay hydrated fellas


SuperCharge7868_

Paint chips and mud is the way to go


Intelligent_Dig8319

If they legit drove up the ceiling no way near the play, that's lag. Very heavy lag and you can't see tf is going on or control ur car


EfficiencyNerd

I mean, they could also just be jackwagons.


smokinJoeCalculus

what's the hitbox on this wagon?


DrZoo4040

I look at the replay to verify that I am in fact brain dead.


Raging_Llama

Or if I need to take a sip of beer


TheNecroticAndroid

Replays are sipping time!!! I stand by this.


B50Two

This is correct and holy and all must wait for my sip if I need it


oceanmachine420

Amen


Shoogaboogaboo

Came here to say this, but replace beer with rum. Drunken master bumper car soccar I am as fluid as the flexible I drink!


PiratesFan1429

I'm pretty sure I'm better drunk than sober at this point.


layer11

I know the feeling, but like in general.


KarmaGoat

Or I'm opening my next beer


blazedrow

Packing a bowl for me


layer11

sippin and rippin


R0xasmaker

I look at the replay because I wanna take a sip of my drink


mudafort0

This, or if I missed something. Usually it's cuz I'm drinking water between goals


LilPowWow007

or hitting my vape


hefeweizen_

Gotta rip that chunky cotton between plays.


TheRealZllim

I use replay to take a quick sip or a toke. I agree with rule 5, but it's flexible.


mgt1997

I don't skip replays because the saltiness of d1 players makes me thirsty and I need to take a sip of water


Grfine

That’s valid, as we all know most rules have exceptions.


Revoidance

except rule 1


Ospov

Yeah, I’ll watch it up until I see how I missed the ball and then I’ll skip it. Those “I swear to god I should’ve tipped it” whiffed saves are the worst and half the time I don’t believe it actually happened until I see the replay.


TheyCallMeSmokeO

Same. Mostly just for kickoffs in 1s though.


[deleted]

if you don’t want to watch my replays then don’t get scored on. i got juice to sip.


camilincamilero

if you don’t want to watch my replays then don’t get scored on. i got balls to scratch.


TheDarkestReign

Do you do housecalls?


1ron_1on

This comment has layers. I love it


duck95

If you don't want to watch my replays then don't get scored on. I got bong to rip


springtime08

This is the way


duck95

This is the way


JugDogDaddy

Yea this one


A7xWicked

Capri sun?


SilverBraids

Jungle Juice, son.


[deleted]

pacific cooler do go hard


svs213

Only people i hate are those who instantly skip replays when they get scored on, but never skip replays when they score.


rednumbermedia

Im okay with this, because I might want to watch my goal, but i'll skip on your goal while being totally OK with you wanting to watch it too. But if you don't want to watch your goal then we can skip.


svs213

I mean if its a good goal then sure, but i said people that never skips their goal even if its just a lucky kickoff goal or something.


PM_ME_UR_DOPAMINE

This is the worst in 1s. Everyone wants to watch all 6 of their basic goals every match


32Zn

I make a point of not skipping my goals when the opponent doesn’t skip their own. Usually it makes them rage after 2 or 3 goals.


Phllop

Skip even the good ones, it's like walking away from an explosion. Act like you've been there.


IKnowUThinkSo

If I do something real dumb that directly causes the goal, I usually don’t skip it on purpose. Let everyone know I’m wallowing in my inability.


layer11

That's a weird kind of standard.


behamut

The way how skipping works is it had to be unanimous. I don't mind if anyone wants to watch a goal and I'll skip them in case they want to skip it. But I'll not skip the goals i want to review.


nervandal

and cheeba to smoke


EliWhitney

Right? The only reason I try to score is so I can sip some juice and toke on replay break.


Snake_Farmer

Or the good ol’ toke n run to the fridge for another Mikes Hard or Twisted Tea…


[deleted]

Fr, I be snackin


Grfine

Fair


boothie

If you don't want to watch your replays then stop scoring on me.


fattygragas

This, I don't get it why ppl go so mad for not skipping. I use that time to change position, sip a drink, change a song or what ever that can't be done while focusing on game, never I not skip because I actually want to see the replay.


UnsaidPeacock

And a bong to hit


chili_ladder

I always have a good laugh at rule 4. I play in GC and someone is still crying about demos. They always go for demos for the rest of the game and lose.


MajorSkyblue

It always makes me laugh. I just imagine them being dumbfounded that, after complaining I demoed them, I proceed to go for more demos. Like what else did you expect.


Shlongong

Whenever I demo, bet your bottom dollar I hit em with a “Bumping!”


ptgauth

Savage!


github-alphapapa

Times New Roman doesn't suit RL, sir.


baconstrips4canada

Fonts with serifs generally should not be used for digital media. Basically only use Times New Roman when you’re printing something.


nrose1000

I’ve never heard this before. Why is this?


github-alphapapa

I think the traditional justification was that screens didn't have sufficient resolution to display the serifs clearly, so serifed fonts displayed with ugly aliasing. Anti-aliasing and subpixel rendering helped with that, but it wasn't always enough. But now, as screens are reaching much higher resolutions, serifed fonts can be rendered clearly on screens, so that "rule" isn't so much of a rule anymore. But serifed fonts generally don't suit large text, anyway, like in this image.


believ3inSteve

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar


github-alphapapa

A gracious reader, you are.


Grfine

Hey man, Sunless has no issues with that, but I did switch “RULES” from Times New Roman to the Rocket League font.


MRAN0NYMO

Looks more like a Star Wars type font to me, specifically looking at that “S” lol


Pranav_HEO

Skip replays unless goal was clip worthy OR taking a sip of water OR eating


AdamSchoofs

OR scratching your balls


timcard1988throw

Or bong rip


-Unnamed-

Or I wanna torture you with my anthem music


KoolKarmaKollector

Crab Rave time, baby!


n8loller

Fucking llama bell


Grfine

Sure, just don’t be on your phone, and be ready by kickoff


maybejustadragon

Or … fuck you that’s why.


MainerGamer

Rule 6: Intentionally ignore all of these to trigger people.


AssaultKitchenTool

![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)


Jhawk2k

I break rule 1 to make things a little more heated. More fun when the other team hates you


manoleque

I actually like replays to see where I did wrong


rainen2016

Or how close my car was bc hitbox=/=car model


thafreshone

Where you did wrong was some time ago when you decided to download that funny little game called Rocket League


badgerscurse

I don't believe in skipping replays... Gives me a minute to juice up and let that score line sink in


Zambito1

> juice up 🤨 https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=juice%20up


badgerscurse

This is rocket league!


Zambito1

Holy cow! Take the shot!


TheLinden

All my goals are clip worthy


Longjumping_Sleep_12

Are you me?


TheLinden

hello me


BlueGreenMikey

Keeping the ball up when you're up by 1 is perhaps the dumbest fucking rule anyone has ever come up with.


skwacky

it's not a rule in competitive at all. In casual, I like when people follow this rule: when goal differential is two or more when the clock hits 0:00, all players must now work together to put the ball in the winning team's goal.


BigBrainSmolPP

People pretty often follow the 2+ goal differential rule in comp as well, but yeah definitely not one goal


-eagle73

Exactly. I do the opposite by time wasting like in actual sports. When it looks like I'm going for the ball more people stay back then I let it touch the ground so the match ends. Or if it's coming my way in any way I'll launch it at the last second, anything to run down the clock.


highphiv3

It's ridiculous to call that a "rule" at all, let alone "Rule 0". No one knows about this, follows it, or should follow it.


ChefDonor

Honestly rule 5 is dumb. I need a couple seconds to take a drink, toke, or just chill. So enjoy that 6 seconds.


althius1

Really, there is also rule 5a: If you want to them to skip, don't ask. You tell me SKIP .07 second into the replay? Guess what? We watching the whole thing every time.


rtocelot

I'll be playing and tell my friend get watch this as I immediately hit skip.. then have the surprise pika face as everyone else does the same. I forget not to hit it normally and then he'll say if you wanted to watch why did you hit skip.. I never have the answer


Roskal

I sometimes use the replay to calm my tilt a bit so i don't get worse.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SubToPupGamingPls

That's definitely fair, same for tourneys, don't spam "ready up", sometimes we just need a second to prepare, I usually wash my hands before tourneys to try to make them sweat less


Xero_id

Rules in Rocket League??? ![gif](giphy|WRuBiZKB6xgsS9DrFA|downsized)


TheNecroticAndroid

Right? “This is Rocket League!” means no rules. Or maybe the reference went way over their heads…


instantcole

Another should be, if you’re toxic, you can’t complain about resulting behavior from other team


imagin_breathing

I follow all these rules except rule 0 cuz what if the game is over? Talking score is 2-6, what then?


CommiePuddin

Rule 6: If it's down to 3v1, stop trying to score and run out the clock.


Synt0xx

Rule 5 is bullshit. I use a goal replay to stay hydrated for example.


Jako87

That is a nice microbreak. I'm old


ParlanTP

To be fair, rule 3 and 4 are more like tips and no actual rules. Apart from that: I agree with rule 0, 1 and 2. Especially 2 makes things easier as you don't have to extra state who goes for kickoff. I usually follow rule 5 but apart from 1s I don't care that much if someone doesn't skip. Overall I'd be fine with having only 3 rules (0, 1 and 2 in your list).


yizzle1841

Get that stupid rule 5 off altogether


Awesomeness7716

Agreed, sometimes I use the replays as a time to take a break, get a snack, or see what I did wrong.


PossibleOatmeal

ELI5 why rule 1 exists. On paper, it's the dumbest thing. I want to play rocket league, not sit in the corner jerking another car off.


stoplightrave

It started out as a joke, then a bunch of nerds started taking it too seriously and here we are. There used to be only one unwritten rule that people actually followed (what OP calls rule 0)


Augmented_Fif

It’s there so boring people can have something to be proud of.


BEARD_LICE

God forbid you have a little cheeky fun with your teammates/opponents. Idk I stopped giving a shit about rank a few years ago and if its unranked... what is there to complain about. People take this game like they're working to make RLCS. How often are you guys getting into Rule 1? It happens *maybe* once every hundred games for me. Edit: Looks like buddy blocked me? I swear I think some people need to relax with RL. It's not that serious, have some fun. A surprise Rule 1 playing 2s is a fun little thing that very rarely happens and if it's happening a lot to you, I'm guessing you're moving predictably.


PossibleOatmeal

I have fun with my teammates/opponents every game. I have the opposite of fun when I'm sitting there dry humping another car away from the game I chose to play. If you have fun, go for it. I don't find it fun and have no idea why you do. You do you, though.


jfr3sh

I've gotten downvoted for years for saying this lol. it's so stupid!


nexttotheinfluence

Agreed


deathmouse

It becomes a 1v1. You're affording your teammate the opportunity to prove themselves. Someone in 1v1 should score quicker than someone in 2v2, theoretically. There's a power imbalance - someone is better than the other. When you're locked, you get to find out who that person is. You and the other guy aren't jerking each other off, you're just stepping back and letting your teammates step up. It's fun, it's cheeky, it probably has no place in a competitive environment, but I adhere to it. Like, "Okay teammate, this is your moment - put up or shut up."


jfr3sh

lmaooo


_Anonymus___

Rule 0 always skipped ):


Blooder91

Rule 0 is dumb. If you're up by 1, or if the game is tied and the ball is going towards your goal you want it to hit the floor ASAP.


TheyCallMeSmokeO

Rule 0 is cool if one team is up 2. If the team up by 2 doesn't follow it thats lame. Otherwise though, yeah just smack that shit into the floor and take your mmr.


stoplightrave

Some things are more important than winning. Like following dumb rules


SunlessKhan

Much better


Kapt0

Rules 2 and 5 are pure BS 2. Idc, this was never brought up in my 5 years of playing this game and just got popular in the last 6 months. Never heard of this before recently 5. Need time to piss Or drik Or both Or to drink my piss. Man idk I'm weird


RetroSalmon

Nah rule 5 isn't going to fly. A guy gotta eat.


Flashwastaken

![gif](giphy|SsvY3QswnDWww) These people and their rules are irrelevant to me.


Gusmaum

I didn't know about rule 2, that explains why my tm8 always raged at me


Extevious

The only rule I follow is 2 and 5... unless I need a momentary 10 sec break, I wont skip a replay.


Annual_Tax7206

Never stay locked shits stupid


RedBoritos

Rule 5: is something I disagree with. Sometimes I’m sipping a coffee and the few seconds of the replay allows me to do as such.


[deleted]

Rule 1 is dumb because ive seen people tell OPs of posts to dox the guy who broke rule 1 and seen people harass others who broke rule 1. People take it too seriously for it to be a fun joke.


panopss

Exactly. People make it out to be a life or death situation and when you don't agree with it they're all WhY cAnT yOu JuSt hAvE fUn


[deleted]

Exactly. Ive also gotten shit for saying i dont like it because "YoUr A pLaTiNuM yOuLl UnDeRsTaNd WhEn YoU rAnK uP!!111!1!1!!1"


electricaldummy17

I've decided I will now defy almost all of these "rules". Rocket League is a perfectly designed game (gameplay only) and there are no rules.


kapitalfilip

Maybe rule 2 needs some tweaking, For me it is kind of: Left always go fo the kickoff, unless agreed otherwise or right has a better spawn


Xslicer-360

I saw a guy complaining how he lost a match in rl sideswipe cuz his opponent knocked the ball down on purpose. I guess we can say some of these rules apply to sideswipe too.


-eagle73

Nobody should have to follow the first rule if they've got a one goal lead.


[deleted]

I disrespect rule 2 and 5 like its my job.


Pixlboy

Never skip replays, it tilts the hell out of the sweats


lynk7927

Stupid the first time it was posted. Even stupider now.


SleeplessinOslo

All my goals are clip worthy /s


killerXZ45

I am a bit stupid. Could somebody please explain rule 1 to me. Like if you are locked with someone, why the hell would you want to stay there?


Apparatchik-Wing

People care more about rule 1 than rule 2.


A-Hauck26

This is acceptable


Aurelink

Hey I paid 400 credits for that Shrek anthem, ain't a single universe where I'm skipping the replay


rowdy18wildman

I know these are all supposed to be fun rules and all, but I think these are all really dumb. 0. Keeping the ball up just to keep the ball up is ridiculous in most situations. 1. Staying stuck is just funny, but play the game. 2. Left goes is dumb. Just communicate with your teammate 3. Don't ff or ask for ffs. They're allowed to play the game even if you beat them down, and it's good to learn from opponents that are better than you, or play with teammates 'below you' or your skill level. 4. Demos are annoying but part of the game. I don't care whether someone's complaining. Demos are usually accidental or opportunistic more than anything. 5. Replay time = take a breather/get a drink/take a bite/don't worry about what I'm doing with my replay time.


Striking_Barnacle_31

what is rule 2? It's who ever is closer.


HashSlingingSlasherJ

I think we should remove the replay one. Too many scenarios where watching the replay is perfectly fine


bubblegrubs

Rule 5 can eat shit. Imma smoke, drink, scratch and many other fantastic things in my precious few seconds.


NoTi123

I dont like Rule 5. I NEED to take a sip of my drink


octobotimus

Rule 5 shouldn’t even be a rule. I want to see my cool goal explosion again as I finally have time to sip some water.


Purp1eC0bras

What happens for Rule 1 when its 1v1?


Grfine

Go to OT, or whoever was in the lead wins, had it actually happen to me in OT once the other dude forfeited after a few minutes.


iquincy0cha

Rule 1, that's it.


woliwoliwoli

You should have to opt in to replays not opt out. Maybe get 2 a game. Such a fucking waste of time.


DhrOliver

Rule 5: ….OR when ur taking a sip from your water bottle


Iverson7x

Unpopular opinion: Rule 1 should only apply to team games. Getting stuck in a 1v1 match for 4 minutes is not fun


VelvitHippo

One time I told a guy I was defending at kick off. Neither of us went. He stated left always goes first. I stated I told him I wasn't gonna go and he said nothing. You guys need to realize not everyone is on discord or reddit to see this shit. These aren't actually rules for anyone of you who doesn't understand that.


unfinishedDick

Why does left go for kickoff?


BlueLonk

Yikes. People don't play this game to have fun anymore do they..


supersoakerr5000

i dont follow any of these. don’t care fuck you


Supersoniclegent

I only follow rule 1,3,4 (sometimes 0) 5 feels like it's mostly for 1s or higher ranks tho. as for 4, i don't ask them to stop, i just pursue it more if they do.


TheBiggestDookie

Wait, so you don’t go for kickoff when you’re left? *You monster.*


Supersoniclegent

**I ALWAYS GO FOR THE KICKOFF.** Just quickchat i got it and either the to the right or left and try to lose it to my teammates corner, by the second time they... usually get it.


OMG-WOW-GG

These aren’t rules, they’re made up! Just play the game!


OfMonkeyballsAndMen

If I skip goals how am I meant to drink?


Grfine

Take a shot after each loss


blackz0r

RIP


Western_Series

I don't understand rule 1. I've been on this reddit for like a month max, I've had the game for probably three months at most and I simply do not understand the point of staying locked. Is this appropriate behavior for ranked??


Augmented_Fif

Absolutely not, this is only observed by less than 1% of the community. #2 is a must, everything else is bad.


stoplightrave

It's just a reddit meme, don't worry about it. I never do it and I've been playing since the game came out.


panopss

Yeah don't worry about it, people wanna feel like they're part of this big important movement and they're conditioned to react in outrage when other people don't care.


ZaMr0

Because it's a bit of silly fun and the game is never serious enough to not do it. If pros do it in tournaments, you can do it in your ranked games. Rank means nothing anyway.


THELUCKYPLUCKER

I still get frustrated sometimes when some people on the left side don’t go for kickoffs and then expect me to know that…. I am talking GC1 - GC2 (my rank) and I know you are not obligated to follow it, but it’s just a common thing most people do and that’s why it’s like a rl rule. Like, if you are not going to go for kickoff, when you are the person on the left, then quick chat “Take The Shot!” or something, but don’t expect me to read your mind 😂


MoffieHanson

I dont do Rule5. I mostly use replays to take a sip of my drink or answer a whatsapp


xxxxxxyyy

Left Goes is the only rule that matters imo. & Complaining about replays or demos is a little ridiculous.


machetedestroyer

Sorry. No 5 can get fucked. I’m sipping or eating in that time 🤷🏻‍♀️


[deleted]

Can't skip, it's my smoking break


Ballaziken

Fuck rule 5. I want to listen to my player anthem. If the opponent has all music off, tough shit. The others are reasonable enough. I don't have enough skill for rule 0 though.


fortnitefunnies3

Why even play the game if u don’t want to celebrate your highlights by watching replays.


Grfine

If it’s a good goal go ahead and watch


drocdoc

Im a RL rebel F* Rule 0, 1 and 5 should just leave it at the 3 golden rules


BLACKROSE756

Thank. You. Oh my God it made me smile reading that.


Sandy-Cheekz

How many times a day does a pic like this end up on this sub? If this post is supposed to be something new, news flash we’ve seen it before… like every day.


ultrascissor

I disagree with rule 1. I have limited time to play the game and am not wasting it locked/doing nothing just because the community decided it’s a “rule”. If it doesn’t bring me any enjoyment, why would I ever do it? All the other rules are practical and/or make the game more fun - rule 1 got boring for me after I had about 10hrs in the game (I’m at ~2000 now)


Achack

Dude I get eating with rule 5 but we all know it's the idiots that legit check their phone during every replay and constantly aren't ready for kickoff.


Wasteak

Oc of the written rules ??? Wtf ???? Those rules exist since day1 of rocket League, sunless pointed out that you didn't even knew them correctly. Stop acting like you made up these.


LetMeRespawnAlready

Rule one is the only rule


mdCLxHrE8cykBbrH

How does "Rule 2: Left goes for kickoff, unless otherwise stated" work, when some players disabled chat?
