(For context: This is not me. Its an opponent POV in replay. It was a Diamond 2s match, he had a rating of 8 71 mmr with his mate, probably smurfing, but unlikely as he actually beat us and everything else, except his mechs were trash)

(I lost 2-8 bcuz i was busy with a chore given to me midgame , tm8 was a friend so he understood it)

Hardest I've locked in for a double in all my time playing this game..

Games wont queue at the moment. Restarted the game. Can see there are only 2000 people in the playlists - OCE, ASIA SE

I was the best (according to score) player in the gamme, my teammate left practically immediately and we had to play 3v2. I lost the most ammount of elo while the teammate who left early lost the least. Unfair. I know i'll recover my elo in the long run, but next time I'll leave immediately so I can grind another, fairer game.

Hit this shot around a month ago

As the image shows I clearly chose Canada for the World Cup LTE, and got the Canada decal and the Team Canada ‘26 🇨🇦 player title, when I clearly didn’t choose Saudi Arabia, did anybody who didn’t choose Saudi Arabia get this title by mistake as well?

Edit: I thought it was a bug, but it’s not.

Hi everyone,

I've been struggling with what feels like Heavy Car Bug (HCB) for a long time.

Before the latest season update, the issue would come and go. Sometimes the game would feel perfectly normal for a few days, then I'd have HCB for a week or two. When it happened, the game felt extremely heavy and sluggish despite having stable FPS. My car felt less responsive, turning felt heavier, fast aerials and flicks were inconsistent, and overall it felt like I had input delay even though performance was perfectly fine.

Sometimes restarting my PC or reinstalling Rocket League would temporarily fix it, but eventually those tricks stopped working.

Since the latest season update, everything has changed. The HCB now feels much worse than before, and for the last 3 weeks it hasn't disappeared once. The game feels heavy every single time I launch it. High FPS, no stuttering, no obvious performance issues — just constant heavy, delayed controls.

My PC:

• Ryzen 7 5800X3D
• RTX 5070 Ti
• MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi
• 16 GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 3600 MHz
• MSI Spatium M470 Pro SSD
• Seasonic Focus GX-850 V4
• ASUS VG27AQML5A (DisplayPort, no G-Sync/Adaptive Sync)
• PS5 DualSense via USB

Things I've already tried (Windows and Linux):

• Fresh Windows installation
• Latest BIOS
• DDU + clean NVIDIA driver installation
• Multiple NVIDIA driver versions
• Reinstalled Rocket League
• Different DualSense controller
• Different USB cable
• Different USB ports
• Disabled Hyper-V / VBS
• LatencyMon (no significant latency issues)
• No BakkesMod
• Epic Games version (no Steam Input)
• G-Sync / Adaptive Sync disabled
• Stable FPS at all times
• Normal temperatures and CPU/GPU usage
• Disabled Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO), which made it feel slightly better but didn't solve the issue
• Different monitor
• Different PC parts
• WiFi, LAN, offline
• Different accounts
• Different ingame settings

UPDATE: Set up a Linux dual-boot (Bazzite) specifically to isolate this — same result

To rule out Windows itself as the cause, I dual-booted Bazzite Linux on the same machine, installed Rocket League via Heroic/Proton, and tested in offline Freeplay (no anti-cheat, no network at all).

The HCB is identical on Linux. Same heavy, slow-motion feeling, both with the DualSense (USB and Bluetooth) and with keyboard-only input. That rules out:

• Windows itself (OS, drivers, DWM/compositor, Windows' USB/HID stack)
• The controller and its driver chain specifically (keyboard shows the exact same symptom)
• Steam Input, BakkesMod, and anything Epic/Windows-specific

At this point the issue reproduces across two completely independent OS installs, two completely different graphics/input stacks, wired and wireless controller, and even keyboard-only input. That's basically every software-side explanation exhausted.

Somewhere in gc was a long time ago

when I drop to c3 this is how I get back to gc lol works every time

Can’t get into a match is it down?

For context I am champ 3 with 1.6k hours. No pc for workshop maps.

I would consider myself on the mechanical side of game sense vs mechs, and I don’t think I could improve my mechanical skill by much while still on free air roll.

If I were to make the switch, would everything prior be for nothing? Or would i learn it much faster than someone without muscle memory to break/build.

Is there a point where you have put too much time for it to be worth switching, or is it always benefitial.

And finally, how long will it take to gain my skill back?

Thanks in advance!

Got lucky / carried by teammates during my 10 qualifying matches and made it to plat 3. But it's not like I finished every match with less than 200 points, I was scoring and saving and stuff. But now that I'm ranked I'm in too deep and just drag my team down and lost 5 in a row.

Less than 50 hrs experience.
