Actually I've only been playing casual of late, I find the toxicity a bit lower there. You might actually have a couple of decent games with a nice team mate.

But I've been playing since it wad kinda new, I was among the ones who had to pay 20 euros just to buy the game on pc. I played it with a DualShock 3 with an XInput wrapper. When I started I didn't even have a DualShock so I played mouse and keyboard. And I think some of the hours are just having the game open but not playing.

I just uninstalled rocket league.

After 9 years and 4200 hours, it just feels like its time. No hard feelings at all. It was a great game and I enjoyed the first 4100 hours. Im just not improving anymore and don't want to sink more time into learning mechanics.

Ive peaked 1605 MMR (GC2) but its tough to stay motivated enough to continue at that rank.

Oh yeah I never got into things like tracking my MMR or trying to learn all the crazy stuff that goes on just above my rank. I'm perfectly okay with keeping the ball low and passing to my teammates and having a good game like that. I get super annoyed if my team mates try for the 7th time in one match to do a flip reset and not rotating ever.

If I even play now, I just play a couple of casual games with rando's or ranked with a friend. After 10 to 15 games I'm completely done.
