Beyond flying cars, exhilarating goals and beautiful cosmos, Rocket League hides a tough hierarchy, i.e., its Division. One community member found it perplexing enough to provoke a Reddit discussion.

Summary

  • The post sheds light on the ambiguous ranking structure of Rocket League.
  • There’s a sentiment of the game being skewed towards making upward mobility harder.
  • The community showcases support, humor and helps provide clarity.

Unraveling The Intricacy

Community member MONOCHROMATICOLOR fired the initial query about a perceivable pattern in the game’s division system, often finding it harder to ascend in ranking. Wading through flaming balls and seemingly warped physics is hard enough, and one can empathize with the user stressing over the seeming erratic difficulty of climbing the leaderboard.

Community Engagement

A collective smirk passed through the community, acknowledging this shared experience. Noble_Briar joked about ‘harder to win than to lose’, while Life_Stay_2644 sarcastically echoed the same sentiment adding, “Who’d have thought that ranking up would be more difficult than ranking down?”

Insightful Breakdown

Amidst the jests, 9oz_Noodle came forth with some clarification. He shared a link showing a breakdown of each rank and their respective MMR thresholds for each playlist. This not only elucidates the system’s methodology but also helps players set clear progression goals.

As the discussion bows out, the sentiment is positively resilient. Self-discovery in the lofty pursuits (literally for their awesome aerials) of Rocket League players liners the path with wisdom – even if the road blanks in the face of a tricky ranking system. So, carry on netting those goals and remember, in the words of Life_Stay_2644, ranking up might be tough but that’s where the fun lies.
