@duganI tried tournament mode again (because I want Righteous Gale boost😉) , and I recommend it, if you're interested. In tournament mode, it's 3v3, and you start out unranked; it matched me with beginners (I'm Plat 1/Gold 3 in 3v3). I actually won my second or third tournament pretty easily. I've played 6 tournaments now. Difficulty is gradually increasing, but it's still not as tough as when I play regular ranked.
So, if you're interested, you'll play 1 to 5, or 6?, matches. Just go to the bathroom before you join. It's often over in 1-3 matches. Try to join 15 minutes before it's scheduled time. If it says "tournament full" wait till just after the tournament starts, and join "2nd Chance" (15 minute window).
And if you're after Righteous Gale, or something cool/higher rarity, like I am, I recommend you play until you unlock the second tier rewards which yield higher rarity (cost 4000 tournament credits). The first tier rewards, 1000 tournament credits, have given me 3 decals and 2 banners that I don't care for. So, I'm only buying the 4000 credit rewards from now on.
I finally started adhering to the Rule 1 of Rocket League: If you end up locking cars with someone in a team game, never break that lock.
And, I won a Challengers Cup tournament, a second tournament win, still no Righteous Gale boost
EDIT: Also, I tried my keyboard for text in Rocket League on the Switch. Totally works. Just plug the keyboard into the dock. Piece of cake.
And, I won two platinum tournaments. Tournaments are fun, been doing them every day since I tried it.
If your tired of weak tournament rewards with Prospect Cup(bronze) and Challengers Cup(gold).... If you don't spend your credits, your unspent tournament credits will convert to All-Star Cup rewards, which yield more high quality rewards.
Tournament Credits will reset at the end of each season.
Have leftovers? No worries!
We will convert leftover Tournament Credits into All-Star Cup Tournament Rewards.
If you had leftover Tournament Credits that were zeroed out yesterday with the December Update, they will be used to buy All-Star Cups, and the reward items will be added to your account
Anyone with less than 12,000 Tournament Credits will receive an All-Star Cup reward item
These All-Star Cup reward items will be delivered during the start of Season 2
In order to receive these reward items, you need to log into Rocket League at least once at any point during Season 2
@WoomyNNYes Nice! I didn't know there was a diamond rank until I somehow got into it right after starting playing Rocket League on my brand new laptop. I have not stayed in diamond though! I play Rocket League in three different accounts on Switch, PS4 Pro, and now Steam/PC. I'm usually platinum or gold rank in snow day, regular, dropshot, etc, but for some reason I end up highly ranked in basketball (which I find pretty difficult to play effectively).
@60frames-please Really? You hadn't looked to see what the rank tiers are? That's funny. In order it's:
bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, grand champ, super sonic legend.
Supposedly gold/platinum have the largest population. So, for diamond and higher, rank populations start shrinking & getting more elite. Granted, getting to gold/platinum definitely takes some effort.
Ever since I got to gold 3, if someone really crushes me, or has impressive skill, in casual matches, I started noticing their banner titles at the end of match scoreboard often say their highest tournament level win, and it's typically diamond, grand champion. Sometimes it's cool to save those match replays, and crazy to watch the replay from their Player View. Sometimes you can learn some things. Or, you're just like, wtf!? XD
I recent months, I've been platinum across the board in 3v3, 1v1 ranked, dropshot, snow day. That basketball mode is tough, I've only briefly dabbled, and haven't played it enough to get ranked. That's impressive if you've done well there.
Here's a pic of Population distribustion by rank (edit: gee whiz the pic below is giant. I saw how big it was after posting. Pardon the size.)
@WoomyNNYes Oh, wow, now I know there is super sonic legend. Just found out about grand champ from a YouTube training and tips video. Thanks for the graph, and I appreciate the size actually. I've never gotten into a game as much as I have Rocket League. On Switch the only game I've played anywhere close to the same amount is Mario Maker. I've got around 500 hours into Rocket League while playing Super Mario Maker 2 around 250 hours.
I played RL when it first released. It was free on PS+ and I played casually. then about 1 year later I bought it on PC and started playing nonstop.
Needless to say I bought it on Switch when it released...
Switch version BY FAR the worst! the input lag is crazy bad. wired/bluetooth/handheld/docked with high refresh gaming monitor/..... doesn't matter. The input lag makes it so incredibly un-fun.
I'm ranked Champ on PC. i can't stand it on switch to play enough to even have a rank.
Everytime there is a big update I download it again on Switch only to be disappointed that they haven't fixed it.
At one point I only had a potato laptop (so 720 minimum settings and barely 30fps, couldn't even see across the field) and that was still preferable to playing on Switch.
They won't even acknowledge the issue, let alone fix it.
Everyone knows PC has the least input lag. If I'm up against diamond or grand champ, positioning and mechanics are what prevail. Not saying the Switch is equal to PC, but the issue doesn't rise to dumpster fire you're essentially trolling about.
@WoomyNNYes I'm not trolling about anything. It is objectively worse.
Positioning and mechanics are obviously important. but guess what, the input lag affects both of those things.
I just don't understand why they dont address the issue. I've seen it theorized that v-sync could be a culprit. and there is no option to turn it off on console. But, it plays well enough on Playstation.
I can only notice a very slight input lag on playstation if I compare to pc. But the Switch input lag is much worse than playstation. and if you go straight from PC to switch, it does indeed feel like a dumpster fire.
I wish they would allow this game to run with incredibly simplied models and textures (basically it could look like a smooth N64 game) and run well on anything. The gameplay is what matters.
But the revenue they generate is from cosmetic items so they keep inflating the game size with millions of fancy-graphic items.
YESS! I finally unlocked All-Stars Cup tournament rewards! It unlocks if you make to the finals in diamond rank tournaments. My 3v3 team came so close to winning. Wow, does that mean I would have unlocked Champion tournaments? Oof. lol.
