![]() While the data and stats may be in your favor, please remind yourself that logic and reason no longer apply to you in the eyes of jealous, lesser ranked players, so your win will instantly be disregarded as you only managed to obtain it via the minimum or near requirements needed to do so. It also should be noted that as a Veteran, you are longer victorious if your team manages to win by anything less than three goals, let alone wins in Overtime. Simply pulling your own weight will no longer suffice.ģ. At the precise moment that the initial targeting takes place, as a Vet, you are also simultaneously conscripted into your brand new role as a Rocket League player that's to say that in addition to being a member of either the blue or red team, you're now not only expected to carry the dead weight of any-and-all inexperienced or unskilled team members, but also obliterate your opposition in the process, winning by either blowout or forfeit. I didn't say it made sense, I just said that it happens.Ģ. In reaching Veteran, you've done something that most people playing have yet to or ever will manage to, and believe me, if they're the opposition, they're going to want you to know how you achieving this feat makes you not only one of, but the single worst RL player that has ever or will ever play the game. The targeting doesn't require any prerequisite social interaction, provocation or even the fan of acknowledgement to fuel the flames. If the occasional verbal accosting has the capacity to negatively impact your gameplay, shut off voice chat right now. It seems to be nearly unavoidable post 30 right now. ![]() It's important that you understand that from now on, the moment that both your team and the opposition see your rank, it's simply a matter of time until you're the target of trash talk. I'll just focus on those and leave the rest up to you to figure out.ġ. Thus far, I feel that the following three points are so glaring and commonly reoccuring, they now qualify as unwritten Vet rules. Please, don't misinterpret, you will unquestionably have a significant experience advantage over the majority of your opponents, and you will regularly be the dominant force in nearly every match you are a part of, but you will undoubtedly experience some confusion when you're first faced with the new, unwritten rules associated with post level 30 gameplay. Personally, I've only encountered one other Veteran in all of the 100+ hours worth of matches I've played to date, and while my own personal experiences with the community pre-Vet were almost all positive, the fact that this is multiplayer game in combination with the rarity of the Vet rank has had some repercussions that I feel might sully the afterglow of your shiny new achievement. Also, if you're reading this around the time that it was originally posted, you're probably aware of the rarity of the Veteran rank. ![]() Now, if you've made it this far, hopefully you've grasped the fact that Rocket League is a relatively new experience that you're sharing with a pool of up to 180,000 other human/humanish beings at once. Unfortunately, it's also not the truth in it's entirety. Those who remain often only do so only until you force them to watch the replay of your first goal in it's entirety, silently educating them to the fact that while a Pro may be managable, a Veteran is something that they simply are not yet equipped to deal with. Some quit the instant they read that glorious word beneath your name. ![]() Now that you're also armed with the rarely-encountered title of Veteran, Rocket League is your plaything more so than you ever thought possible. Your sublime timing and ability to read virtually any situation means that you rarely miss what you're aiming at or allow even the smallest, slightest oppositional mistake to go unanswered. ![]() Now, finally, after an incalculable number of battles fought, the title of Veteran is yours to brandish, and from here on out, you'll spend your time on the field effortlessly blocking, stealing and scoring at will, preying on the inexperienced, mouth-breathing majority as they scramble to combat their own inability to contain the monster you've become.
