I've been playing 7 straight hours trying to get rising star before the update and I finally did it. Those wheels are mine baby.

Played a game of dropshot thinking "there's no way this can be any fun".

Still thinking that.

Good to see, the server performance has been consistently worse than previous recently.

Shocking to me that a game like this still has so many consistent server issues even on the PC side.

Just hit legend rank today, and I just checked that I bought the game exactly one year ago on 24th April

493 hours, what a great ride it's been! I decided to play more duels this season and it definitely helps in many skills I previously lacked, mainly ball control.

I think it's quite normal actually, there's quite a lot of stagnation that you have to endure then all of sudden you play like a superstar for 20 hours, it's a great feeling, just shows that practice makes perfect indeed.

Sometimes I try duel for the reasons you mentioned but it's hard to stick with it for me, mostly because the penalty for ****ing up in duel is so, so harsh (whiff a ball and, like, 80% of the time it's a goal against). It's hard to go all out and practice stuff you're bad at in 1v1 if it means you're gonna just lose a crapton of games in the process.

Yeah, duels require totally different tactic than one'd think, I think I actually began to like them, it seems rather fair actually. The penalty for ****ing up is the same for both sides. And I do lose quite a significant number of games against 'less skilled' opponents sure but I blame the tactic then and my performance and I seem to take lessons from that.

Pretty much all I play is duel. It's a completely different game, way more cat and mouse. Half the time I just let the ball roll and force my opponent to make the decision to rush the ball and risk getting chipped or hang back in net and play goal as I slowly bring it up. My regular game is terrible, I can't aerial for ****, it's just all tactics

Another vote for the "it all starts to click" - my aerial game is coming around quite a bit, but there's still overcoming the instinct to wait for the ball to come down rather than having the instinct to go up for it. Changing some controller bindings helped a lot.

However, the real improvement in my game is in my car design. Pink painted endo, with pink paint, pink loopers, the heart aerial, a pink bow on top, and the hearts rocket trail. It almost never fails to get a comment.

There's a major skill in positioning your car in those situations, but it's incredibly frustrating to be on the wrong end of those spots. I just avoid duel altogether if I can help it.

1v1 is for losers.

I feel like rankings still aren't good enough. One night I get people who completely whiff on multiple saves then the next night I'm getting dunked on from across the map. Yet they are ranked the same.
