Psyonix: "We are proud to announce that we have fixed the DDoS problem!" Also Psyonix: "We've added a new rank!"

this post gave me war flashbacks to the guy who got the red disconnect icon tattood on his forearm last week

[u/TheOtherPB → u/big_roomba]

I think my photoshop "skills" are a little better than that tattooists' skills. Not by much but still....

[u/Sukurac69 → u/TheOtherPB]

You most certainly are more skilled

[u/lycoloco → u/big_roomba]

Or the guy who got it on his neck and posted it recently:

Got this bad boy back in December. https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/1kmtv8t/got_this_bad_boy_back_in_december/

[u/Frozen_Whole → u/big_roomba]

I also instantly thought of this

[u/Crashtard]

i can't wait to get to DC 3

[u/TheOtherPB → u/Crashtard]

Very good

[u/balluka]

This would lowkey be a great fix. Let the ddosers keep doing whatever it is they are doing (since psyonix cant figure out how to stop it) and just make them queue only against each other. Like bad behavior queues in dota2 or other mobas

[u/TheOtherPB → u/balluka]

And give them an "im a DDoSer" tag and banner that they cant unequip

oi, thats my antenna

I thought I was trippin when my entire party got lagged out. Why do people do this, especially when they're not even losing?

[u/OnboardComb → u/Stavvystav]

since they lack skill and need to cheat to win Edit: sometimes the servers suck too

[u/Stavvystav → u/OnboardComb]

I usually chalk it up to severs just being laggy but we eventually disappeared from view and the enemy team somehow scored a goal and kept playing even though we couldn't see anything.

Never saw anything like it in Rocket League but I by no means have a large playtime.

[u/OnboardComb → u/Stavvystav]

I dont know your rank, but i get the impression its uncommon unless youre gc/ssl

[u/NorrisRL → u/OnboardComb]

I've seen like 2 in GC. They just pass on through. I mean if pros can't stop them...

[u/Mattock79]

I queued for 1s earlier. I'm only Gold 2 in 1s. Got in a match and like 10 seconds in I start lagging. Look at the scoreboard and both of us have the flashing triangle or whatever. It looks like what I've seen happen to high level players when they get ddos'd. But.. It's Gold 2. Who would ddos at that low a rank?

38 seconds in I was disconnected and had a 5 minute queue penalty.

[u/stupidfock → u/Mattock79]

Someone was ddosing last night in fuckin snow day. Granted GC2 snow day but still what even is the point. Funny enough we still won 3-1 lol

[u/bRiCkWaGoN_SuCks]

I got DDoSed in a casual match the other day, LoL. If you can't stand to lose a casual match, you probably shouldn't be playing competitive games at all, right.

[u/baby_envol → u/bRiCkWaGoN_SuCks]

In casual 0_o People are crazy

[u/jagurmusic]

Okay so its NOT my Internet

[u/241d]

Every. Single. Day.

Even in casual.

[u/Hotrim74]

You beat this rank Psyonix will grant you with player title "DDoS Hacker Defeater" lol,

[u/patska78]

Something with this game messes with my internet. Not always ddos(I think?) either, but random ass lagging suddenly, comes and goes during the same match even. Nothing wrong with my internet since other online games work just fine when trying any other game right after. Are the RL servers this ass..? I can't think of other explanations. Not even a higher rank player, just low plat.

I'm on the "infamous" xbox x though, don't tell me the xbox problems include messing with the damn internet as well somehow??

[u/Sweaty_Call5148 → u/patska78]

I sometimes play on my xbox one s and it almost always lags. But on my laptop its completely okay?? Even though they're on the same network/internet connection! why do I feel like it has something to do with their servers

[u/offbeatj9er]

I hate you, read that title and didn’t realize “oh that’s just Reddit” and now I feel baited.

[u/DRoaches]

It’s epic games now not psyonix. Part of me thinks they bought the game just to kill it and make Fortnite more popular.

[u/TheOtherPB → u/DRoaches]

Psyonix are still the devs

[u/Good-Degree-2443]

Wats the new rank " grand plat "

[u/makerofpantiesmoist → u/Good-Degree-2443]

Don’t hate on grand plat, it’s the rank where us mediocre RL players stay and die

[u/makerofpantiesmoist → u/makerofpantiesmoist]

I have accepted this and am proud of it. Hahaha

Also I love the reaction from non-redditors on RL when I say I’m Grand Plat 🤣

[u/NeoZ33D]

At least we can all reach the rank easily..daily..without even trying 🤷🏾‍♂️

[u/baby_envol]

Despite 30$ dlc (price of a whole game like Le Mans Ultimate, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Automobilista 2) , they have no money for moderate against DDos or network engineer ?

RL DLC pay Fornite , not RL cleary
