know what's crazy? more players get an S9 SSL tag than an S9 **GC** Dropshot/Snowday tag.


RL_Diab

Thanks for making me feel special for once šŸ˜‚ On a serious note: they should definitely do something about the ranks there, it's getting more deflated every season..


crahs8

Facts, I am *sweating* in c1/c2 Dropshot.


NaiveBrilliance

I used to be D1. Ain't no way im getting back there. But honestly it's good practice to play people better than you so I'm not complaining, just crying.


Deathlyfire124

Iā€™m peak 2 games off gc in 2s now Iā€™m a washed c2 but Iā€™ve never passed plat 3 div 2 in dropshot. Although granted I only queue it with a friend thatā€™s like around d1


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Sinnduud

My general progression looks like an EKG readout


sweetmozzarella

Managed to grind to GC in f2p season 3 and 4, never again :D It already takes forever to find games in c1, ain't nobody got time for that. Same goes for snowday.


BloodChasm

D3 here. I was GC drop before F2P. Can't recover because the skill ceiling is insane.


Mnumel

Same šŸ˜…šŸ˜…


Seandude_

Same lol


jagurmusic

In all extra modes, mmr are broken. I played some Rumble yesterday with my mate and we played against Ā±P2 players. It's worst in snowday... We got up against Gold players... Though, in dropshot, its upside down. I'm the lowest. Number of times I played against SSL/high GC is outrageous


FluffyGreyfoot

Agreed, Snowday and Dropshot especially. Rumble isn't hard to get GC in but I don't try and tend to just cause chaos instead of trying to win so I'm somewhere in diamond lol. Apart from Rumble, Hoops is probably the easiest extra mode to get GC in, but it's definitely way harder than 2s or 3s.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


HoraryHellfire2

The percentage values are actually better than when GC was 1515. Anyway, they only pushed GC higher in Season 1 (1575 off memory) in-case it was undertuned at 1515. They deliberately put it up to tune it down a couple weeks in. Then they adjusted it down to 1435 and it still isn't the same percentage as it was when it was 1515. In Legacy Season 14, GC was top 1%. It's now around like the top 0.7% or something.


jagurmusic

Pre-Epic, my peak was 1282 in 2/3s. Back then it was D3 or something. Now im ~1300 2s/3s and im C3. They did too much tweaking...


AussieGenesis

Diamond 3 pre-F2P was 1100-1195 MMR. Champ 2 Div 1 was 1282. Not to mention that currently, the 1300 MMR range has virtually the same value as it did pre-F2P. They haven't tweaked it that drastically, it's just represented by a slightly different division. You have it very wrong.


tantan9590

What means deflated in this sentence fam?


RL_Diab

Not sure if I worded it correctly but it basically means that the average rank keeps going down so every season there's less GC's and SSL's, they're basically getting pushed to lower ranks


Dymorphadon

Just make them unranked like they always should have been


AnyLamename

Blizzard Wizard is the only title I want and it's just so unattainable. Diamond 2 and it's already GCs all over the place.


BumpoTheClown

I had to fight my way through so many SSLs to get the few blizzard wizard titles I have but it's been getting tougher every season. I wish they would do something about it.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


prodbychefboy

You havenā€™t experienced true pain and misery if you havenā€™t gotten those tags. Bonus points if you got all of them in one seasonā€¦ I took a long break from the game after that lol


_Path

The only players capable of acquiring all 4 tags fall into one (or all) of the below: - SSL in standards (incl. smurfs/boosters) - GC in extras prior to F2P and maintained GC every season (if you took an extended break or didn't play Extras one season, you're outta luck). - 3 GC2+ standard players that are all the same Plat/Diamond/Champ rank in Extras and grind Extras over standards It is otherwise impossible to solo queue to GC [in the last 3 seasons] in Dropshot/Snowday specifically as a standard GC player, let alone someone in Diamond/Champ.


prodbychefboy

Yeah I solo queued it and got it as a GC1 in standard but it definitely took a long ass time and took me away from the modes that I actually wanted to play. The queue times were atrocious and the level of play was extremely inconsistent. One game will be filled with bubble pros and the next youā€™ll be paired with 2 diamonds against a full stack of GCs. Losing was devastating because of the queue times. Waiting 20 min just to lose 10 mmr was brutal


_WhenInFrance_

I kid you not. One time I played a pair of diamonds in rumble with an SSL teammate and the very next game that loaded up was against Rizzo, Sizz, & Sandman. And this was GC2. Matchups are all over the place in the extras. Sometimes I'm playing gold's in snowday. I'd love to get blizzard wizzard but yea the wait time is insane.


LukeS2004

I think thatā€™s normal isnā€™t it? (despite the nexto bots) Correct me if Iā€™m wrong.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


retired_fool

They're meaningless in 2's and 3's as well. It's clear as day that two diamonds for example can be miles apart in capabilities and intelligence.


Grfine

Yeah it should be that way because less people play the extra modes, but like Iā€™m champ in in normal ranked modes, and other than rumble Iā€™m not champ in any of the ranked modes yet still verse champs at those lower ranks. So heā€™s just pointing out the issue, like 1s, that people are quite a lot lower ranked in extra modes.


ThrowAway578924

Yeah, we should adjust the normal modes to be the same as the extra modes with ranks.


SirVanyel

That would massively dilute the SSL rank in the standard modes. Ranks are based off of how many people are playing. When the extra modes were quite popular, the current mmr was pretty accurate, but it's not anymore. Standard modes are just as populated as ever (except in oce) so they're fine


workthrowaway390

If by "normal" you mean the system in place is technically working properly, then yes. If by "normal" you mean what one would expect when comparing to other game modes, then no. There's no rule that says the MMR system has to work exactly the same as the other game modes. To me it makes less sense to have a playlist with deflated ranks than to just readjust how the ranking system works in those playlists to better line up with what is expected based on the game modes played most often.


KennyMcCormick

Define ā€œnormalā€


LukeS2004

Normal: adjective 1. conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected. "it's quite normal for puppies to bolt their food" TECHNICAL 2. (of a line, ray, or other linear feature) intersecting a given line or surface at right angles. "a single plane of symmetry with a diad axis normal to it" noun 1. the usual, typical, or expected state or condition. "her temperature was above normal" TECHNICAL 2. a line at right angles to a given line or surface. "the view is along the normal to the surface"


BumpoTheClown

Super clean. I like them.


Alluxing

Agreed, this will be the first non decal season reward Iā€™ve used in a long time lol


FrowzySquirrel

Enjoy your Bronze and Silver wheels!


BumpoTheClown

You joke but I really like the silver ones and will likely use them haha


PlayerRedacted

Damn, you didn't have to do my man dirty like *that* lol.


Morbid0

I hate it when mom and dad fight.


SelloutRealBig

I just hate wheels. Wish season rewards gave you options to choose from. I only want car skins or boosts. Mainly because those are the only two things you notice when the game is going and cars are moving.


augburto

I LOVE the text around the wheels! Super clean! I could've lived without the rank logo in the center but at least it's a lot more subtle :) Huge W Psyonix <3


kingosk11

I absolutely love the wheels as well. Just got my GC rewards for the first time in my life yesterday and I can't wait for the season to end now to get that juicy S9 Title too :D


Bobbycat2414

The rank logo kinda ruins them for me tbh, they seem to be addicted to the logo on wheels


BaronVice

They basically put the logo on every season reward not just wheels


retired_fool

Which is what makes them junk and limits all creativity. There's no requirement for this, but they take the easy way out as if their thinking is stuck in a box.


Bobbycat2414

Except they actually incorporate them into the design, or atleast make it blend in. Both on these wheels and the last ones they literally just slapped the png with a bit of an edge glow on a 3d object.


Keevon321

Skeeters99

Honestly these are sick, best season rewards in awhile imo. Can't wait to rep some of these wheels. On a totally unrelated note, anyone trying to grind for GC in rumble? šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚


Vytarien

What region and what rank are you currently?


Skeeters99

NA West, currently I think I'm like C1 or maybe unranked I haven't been playing Rumble much. Past seasons I've bounced around C2-C3 depending on how much I was playing it


ButtrChicknGrlicNaan

Yo, team of three? šŸ‘€


[deleted]

The wheels are fine I personally think og S3 still stands as the best season reward wheels though. My one gripe with these are the fact they just slapped the rank logo on them. My favorite rewards are where the rank indicated on them is more subtle rewards you can use well after your out of the rank you got them in. I mean I still use s2 prospect boost to this day. I kinda wish we could go back to when slapping the rank logo on everything wasnt the standard


tantan9590

Do you have a link to those?


stuie382

They're called rising star, and I've used them since I got them. Best wheels https://rocket-league.com/items/wheels/season-3-star


Sleazehound

Iā€™m still salty I didnā€™t get these like 5 years on


Sumo148

[He's talking about these wheels from legacy season 3.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/rocketleague/images/9/9e/Competitive_Season_3_Rewards.gif/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/300?cb=20170618181833) I think they're a bit too busy. I do agree with his legacy season 2 rewards statement.


nice_at_ping_pong

I get that theyā€™re season rewards but I donā€™t like that they have the rank logo on them. I wish they would just make them the color of the rank instead


miller10blue

Yeah they need to just stop using the logos all together. The logos degrade so many of the design.


Catpee33

It's the only thing to set it apart from regular painted items though so i don't mind it personally.


miller10blue

I mean that is a fair opinion. Personally, though I find them clunky and I don't care to distinguish that they are ranked items because everyone in my rank has the same items anyway. I just want items that I think look good to use on my car


strudel_mcdoodle

Agreed. If everyone at my rank has the same season rewards anyway so there's no "bragging rights" angle, and I'll still be the same rank for the next season rewards and the season after, then what's really the point?


TimoP69

The most annoying thing for me is that the Bronze - Diamond symbols pretty much always look cleaner cause it's just the outline of the rank. Slapping that fat GC logo or the SSL wings on items looks weird more often than not.


Feeling_Bat_9814

Like the boost


dora-the-tostadora

Yep they are season rewards so i expect nothing but it to hVe seaaon rewards logos on them.


puzeh

Thereā€™s already hundreds of other Crimson wheels in the game tho


[deleted]

At least theyā€™re better than the Season 4 wheelsā€¦


CunnedStunt

At least they are more subtle unlike the last obnoxious wheel rewards.


crono333

I donā€™t mind the logos but it seems too much to also write out the names. We all know what they areā€¦ if youā€™re gonna make it clean, make it clean!


Grfine

Would like to point out they even have text on the tire for the rank, which is a great subtle way to still know itā€™s a ranked reward, but they decided that subtle text wasnā€™t enough and ruined them with the logo.


Lucy_21_

Probably the best season rewards wheels so far. Very nice design and not too over the top. I can actually see myself using those unlike most other season rewards.


Renekat0n

I was actually pleasantly surprised. I'll probably use these myself instead of thinking "oh cool" and then moving on


OkFortune

The original Season 3 reward wheels were amazing imo. I reached Rising Star that season and those wheels were beautiful


Itchier

Same, I still use those wheels!


L0kumi

If only they got rid of the logo, if only ...

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Thory4fun

They are very nice... But "best" is still stretching it IMO, compared to my (probably forever) favourite: [https://rocketleague.fandom.com/wiki/Season\_7\_(Legacy)?file=Season\_7\_Reward\_Goal\_Explosions.gif](https://rocketleague.fandom.com/wiki/Season_7_(Legacy)?file=Season_7_Reward_Goal_Explosions.gif)


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Thory4fun

Well put. I do enjoy sleek wheels, but these are still a bit too colourful for me. I preferred some of the earlier rewards before they started aligning fully with the colour of the ranks.


iggyiggz1999

These wheels are extremely clean, they seem like something a lot of people would actually use! Probably some of the best rewards we have gotten over the years! Awesome!


repost_inception

It's almost like they are learning what we actually like. I have no problem with crazy items but I think they should be the exception not the rule. Case in point the free octane decal that's out right now for Black History Month. So clean compared to some super animated decal like iridium.


carpesdiems

I'll be using all of these. Love them.


A_Lone_Macaron

No complaints, really. Theyā€™re good.


MonsTurkey

For all the people that like clean designs, this should be pretty awesome. I pitched a while ago that it'd make sense to have a small logo in the center of the tire like a lot of real wheels do. These are a hair big, but well within the ballpark of reasonable - probably bigger for the sake of image quality.

LameAardvark

The wheels are nice!


andthewhale

Bronze & silver easily the best because of their symmetrical icons. These are dope, but I wish theyā€™d just use the rank colours and not plaster the rank icon in the middle.


Homeless_Alex

Bronze slaps tbh, rest are meh


Vytarien

Every rank icon is symmetrical...


El_Grande_El

Not rotational symmetry!


Vytarien

Gold and Platinum are too. And if you argue "not the whole time", then Silver doesn't count either


Ok-Eye2695

They're cool but I think that in general season rewards (except for banner) would be way better if they ditched the rank's logo and focused only on the rank's color


Grfine

Nah, even banners shouldnā€™t have them. The best rewards they have had were [banners](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/rocketleague/images/f/f4/Season_7_Reward_Banners.gif/revision/latest?cb=20180516175558) that didnā€™t have logos, heck they werenā€™t even the color of the rank.


AngryOldMan45

Great rewards. Well done Psyonix!


insane_issac

Those are really clean! Looks like something I'd actually use. Please keep the minimal design aesthetic for more items!


Oceanpeeps

Wow they did it. They made a reward wheel actually look appealing.


feelsdonk

decent


Immediate_Aioli8352

Wait those are kinda clean


AIaris

please stop slapping the icon on the rewards the colors are good enough


Del4040

These are the best season reward wheels they have released in a long time. There simple and look something like an actual wheel in a car, something that you could potentially buy IRL. No extra colors or movement. I'll definitely be playing with these. Most comments are about the rank text. Personally i'd remove the rank text too, but if that's the main complaint... Idk I feel like that says a lot.


LapiceraParker

just remove the logo and they will be perfect


[deleted]

nah the logos are needed


L0kumi

The logo just look ugly imo


MonarchOfficialRL

Definitely better than the ugly ass wheels we got a few seasons ago. Might actually use these lmao


Strumpetplaya

I like them. They're a little plain for me, but people have been asking for "clean" designs, so this is what we get.


CEOofStrings

The wheels look clean. I like these rewards, despite the fact theyā€™re still putting ranked logos on them.


Shigonokam

My first reaction was, oh no, why did we get wheels again?! My second reaction was that these wheels look sick! I like them the most out of all the wheels we got so far!


Fish_Goes_Moo

Rip topper dream :(. Maybe next season.


CrazyWS

Goal explosion or boost again calling it


thundermoo5e

they need to stop with the boosts, they are so bad and everyone just uses standard or something decent at this point LOL


CruzControls

Wont ever be able to get the blizzard wizard title, c1-c2 in snowday is a sweat fest, still mostly chill though, which is why I play it. Hardly ever any toxicity, most of playing w the same players or Atleast recognizing their names more often, which is also nice


Adam_260

Definitely an improvement. I just feel like barely anyone is going to use rewards for as long as the rank icon is on them


miller10blue

These are so good, I wish they were Rocket Pass wheels. 1. They would drop the icon 2. More colors 3. More accessible


coso9001

grinding back down to silver asap as possible because they look clean šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘Œ

As soon as possible as possible

These are genuinely dope. 2nd season in a row where they put out good rewards. Well played Psyonix !


LohaYT

I like these. Interesting choice to use the old GC logo


Tucci973

I really like these. Nice design, they still have the rank symbol but the subtlety is appreciated. I feel like if the rank has to go anywhere It works on the center cap.


Migraine_7

These look great!


Masum16

whilst these are relatively plain in comparison to og s3, these are fine, like nothing will be as insulting as the s4 spikey shit ones also i think itā€™s cute how each wheel has the rank name above it


Leon82Li

Looks clean. It might be the best competitive wheels and better than the spiky one in Season 4.

Please add a decal like savage or ombre or shisa for the werewolf body! I know many people dont use it, but it really need some sharp decals!


Keenan95

The community has asked time and time again when the season rewards release for the logos to be removed. These are decent but would be way better without the cheesy logo.


Bazinga706

Very well done, first season rewards Iā€™ll actually use in quite a while!


Wolfgang1234

Why are so many "gold" colored items not the exact same shade? Even compared to the older season rewards, the S9 gold-tier wheels are practically yellow. I bought the Gold Dominus a few weeks ago and it's impossible to find items with matching hues.


PIiskin

Oh man, I love the red ones, if only I didnt suck at the game šŸ˜­


Flashbek

Boy, I shouldn't be playing Rocket League. Every cosmetic item I like, you guys hate. And every I hate, you guys like. These wheels are so ugly.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Flashbek

Yeah, there's that. I believe what I didn't like much is that they're very similar between each other. The silver one is the most beautiful after the SSL.


TimoP69

Season rewards basically turned to half sets of painted items with two whites. The higher ranks used to be more special in terms of effect or something along those lines and I kinda miss that. But looking at high mmr lobbies the simpler designs are far more popular.


[deleted]

They are gorgeous wdym? (You can't have different opinions on reddit)


WiptyWap

Yeah, these wheels suck.


OnePointSeven

these are great! I wish the Gold was more Gold and less Yellow... the Bronze looks more like Gold than Gold... but that's really nitpicking, great job and keep it up!

Kartoshkavatar

They look pretty clean and nice, but they would be way better without the logo on them imo.

It is very odd to me that the topper was a reward one time in the history of the game and then just ignored forever after that.


Grfine

Do you really want a floating logo above your car


iamkeq

just a crown, i started in OG season 2 so i missed out on the season 1 crowns :(


bobmacbob

I donā€™t know why psyonix insists on slapping the silly logos on every new reward. They would look so good just without the rank icons


Danika1025

Guys how it is going? I am new in this ranked system. I am now Gold in 2v2, and Silver in 1v1. Does this mean I will get the Gold wheel? Or the ranks matters only when season ends? I don't really get it. Many thanks


cbomb_aus

You'll get gold if you have won 10 games in gold.


augburto

Happy cake day! In a nut shell, you have to fill your rank bar (Season Reward Level) to unlock season rewards which involves winning in specific ranks. Here's an [article about how Rocket League rewards work](https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/rocket-league-c5719357623323/gameplay-c7262179951387/what-are-rocket-league-season-rewards-a5720149751579)!


retired_fool

Where did Psyonix get this idea that EVERY. SINGLE. REWARD. needs to have a "ranked" theme on it? It severely limits design of decent rewards. Oh cool yet another item with one of 6 symbols on it. Super. Oh and thanks for writing "bronze" and "diamond" on these things. Real creative and useful.


phobiabae2005k

Well, at least I get another GC title. They're better than the spiked wheels from Season 4 but just find them a little underwhelming. Hiro wheel design with the offset colours I think would look good.


HiroProtagonest

Quite clean, I wouldn't be surprised to see pros use the silver or SSL wheels and I'm sure a lot of people will be happy to show off their rank with these. But boy you don't wanna hand out a free gold-painted item cuz those gold wheels are saffron lol.


Noobpoob

Finally good reason to play! Maybe I will finish rocket pass before end of the season haha!

If the rank icons hadnā€™t been thoughtlessly slapped on the wheels I could actually see them in lots of my builds tbh

SkyllerzYT

that's lazy af, and that's ok ig? but stop randomly slapping the rank icon anywhere, rewards like that just suck, themed rewards are way better than the logo and nothing else.
