Game is dying a slow death and it pains me to witness it happen

[Ace]

As the title says. I don't need to express why because it has already been stated a million times online but man, Epic is draining the life out of this game.

According to you wannabe doomsday preachers the game is dying for more than 3 years now. You can stop that now. Game is doing fine. Epic did literally everything right with RL.

Just like the game was dead 5 years ago right? And a year before that? And another before that?

Are you guys ever going to realise you're constantly 100% wrong about this ♥♥♥♥? Whats the point in being so obsessed over something you have zero knowledge about?

I agree to disagree here. Epic has done lot of wrong turns in Rocket League, yet the game is still "alive" because some people decided to ignore their mess.

Honestly, match queue gets longer now. Pre-trading removal I can find a casual game in my region in merely 12 sec in average, 15 sec at most. Now? I'm averaging at 1 min -2 mins. sometimes 3 mins. Not to say that those 15 sec doesn't happen anymore, but it tends to go over 1 min. No, using the same matchmaking option and at the same time of the day as I used to be 6 months ago.

Game slowly dying? Sure, but it won't die that quick. A slow death indeed. Maybe in 5, 10, or 20 years, if playerbase continues to decline. I agree with OP that game is dying a slow death, but I disagree if Rocket would die right away at this moment. Rocket will not die, at least for 1 or 2 years from now. But in 5, 10, 20? Slow and surely, it will goes low on playerbase that you no longer able to matchmake.

In fact, it's almost the fact with most game out there. There's only a few games that would survive 20, 30 years. Considering Rocket League hits 8 years and removed from steam, it being alive is already a feat.

Rocket League will definitely "die" one day (I mean die at the point that matchmaking, either casual or ranked, stopped finding matches), that's an undeniable fact. I mean, if 20 years isn't enough, then 100 years will kill the game (and so far no game survived from "age"). So the game will eventually dies, no matter how you gloss over it. Again, the game won't die anytime soon, but in the very far future, the game is slowly dying a slow death and eventually forgotten from everyone's mind. When? I don't know, but it definitely will happen.

TL;DR:
Q: "Are the game dying right now?"
A: "No, you can still play while waiting a little longer than before."

Q: "Would the game dies in the future?"
A: "Yes, that's a given. But far in the future (at least 5 years, maybe even 20 years)."

Its not about the end man, its about the rocket league we found on the way.

[(Clever Name Here)]

I mean people have been saying that for 5 years now. I think people are just paranoid.

[Cod]

People have been saying this for years. queue times for games less than a minute. Games going to be here for many years to come.

[Corona Scurrae]

no it's not. not that I would be bothered if it did but they are doing well considering the competition out there

we all have our biases and want something to be true but in the end it won't magically change reality

its been dying since epic games took over... the servers have been on a down ward spiral with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up bumps and increasing # of ghost touches. It also doesnt help that smurfing is beyond control. Take a look at the esports scene, i give it maybe a year before the RLCS collapses especially after they just fired everyone that was part of managing/producing RLCS

[Wheap]

OP What about the sport has changed? Are you paid by EA? Do I have more questions?

People also told it was dying long before epic, you seem to miss your own point.

[✪ K r i s]

Everything Epic-trash touches dies

[SwissPipo]

As long as i find matches all good. Its dead when i cant find matches.

sometimes the ban can be 2hrs if you disconnect more than 3 times in their horrible servers.
