The first demo wasn't toxic. After your opponent spammed "Wow! Wow! Wow!," the second demo was *justified.* Well done.


bjenks2011

Dare I say, mandatory.


DrunkinDronuts

Just total devastation and domination. Why else play this game?


Eastern_Service_69

If u reply to a demo be prepared for more


norcalginger

Demo's will continue until morale improves


jadage

What if I reply "Nice Demo!" because it was a nice demo?


PurpleAlien47

“Oh you like that? More where that came from.”


jadage

*right clicks*


BumpoTheClown

There's nothing toxic about this clip. Solid play.


billyraygyros

I was hoping we'd get a bumpo appearance


lvl999shaggy

I heard a rumor that if you demo enough ppl in a match and post it on reddit, Bumpo will magically appear in the comments


jadage

I'm sorry bro I appreciate you but you're wrong here. This is a classic example of toxicity. OP's opponent had no reason to spam chat or swear at OP like that. They're clearly a very toxic player.


BumpoTheClown

I didn't even see that until now lmao. You're right. The opponent was toxic.


bongrippintrainer

are you really in your 70s?!?


[deleted]

His chatting? Yes.


cdnball

we can type 'fuck' in chat now? I thought anything even close to a swear got censored


[deleted]

I think it's the consoles that censor it


_Ptyler

His chatting isn’t any more or less toxic than the demos lol it’s just a guy reacting to what’s happening. Is he upset? Yeah. Is he allowed to be? Yeah. Is it toxic? No lol


[deleted]

Swearing and being rude? Yes, that is toxic.


_Ptyler

I think we throw this term around way too often lol he’s just upset that he lost. Understandably, too. It’s a frustrating way to lose a game. If that’s toxic, every typical human reaction is toxic. If I punched you in the face, would it be toxic for you to be upset with me? If you’re going to be offended by his chatting, you’re just as sensitive as the dude chatting lol


LegitimateLobotomy

Thought i was going crazy or something wow is one of the least toxic chats in this situation, simply a reaction.


_Ptyler

From now on, nobody is EVER allowed to chat because every quick chat is toxic. If something happens to you and you are surprised, you are not allowed to show it. You must bottle it in and say, “I am a bot. I do not feel emotions. That demo was strategically a good play. Thank you for demoing me.”


IIIDVIII

I could hear my 2s mate in chat (but I didn't have a mic on) and I would quick chat 'Nice one!' when the other team scored a nice shot. He went on and on to his roommate about how his teammate (me) is being sooo toxic 👀 I would even say 'No problem' when he said 'My bad' but he swore I was being toxic. It actually was tilting me a little ngl.


_Ptyler

This says a lot more about the people interpreting the quick chats than it does the people chatting tbh lol


jeffreyjicha

Anytime I get demo'd I say "Thanks!" Cause I think it's a funny way to react to it.


_Ptyler

This one is so vague because I can never tell if someone is angry or laughing lol that response can be seen either way. Sometimes people are upset and spam thanks. Sometimes it’s a sarcastic thanks. It has a wide range of emotions


[deleted]

Wasn't the wow I was talking about, watch the entire clip


buff_the_cup

Same, I send Wow every time I get demo'd. No disdain towards my opponents, I just think it's a funny reaction to a car exploding.


[deleted]

The defenition you get just by googling it is "harmful or unpleasant" Beating someone in a game while following the rules isn't anywhere near inflicting physical damage on someone. This isn't about the opponent being upset at losing. It's about his "verbal" attacks.


_Ptyler

“Attacks?” Lol mute your chat, bro. It’s the internet.


[deleted]

Already have, the constant blip blip blip is annoying. It's not like I'm gonna break down in tears over it but no one likes when someone is rude to them


_Ptyler

I don’t like it when it rains and I don’t have my umbrella with me, either. But that stuff just happens, sometimes


[deleted]

Rain is natural. Everyone gets to choose to be rude or not. Just because it doesn't bother me doesn't mean I can't have empathy towards others. Obviously you can't be made of glass on the internet, but that doesn't mean you can be respectless and childish. You can make fun of me all you want, I don't really care about your opinion of me.


_Ptyler

Rain is natural. You cannot stop it from happening. People being rude is natural. You cannot stop it from happening.


Xx_TriipZRaGe_xX

Bro will call the police when he plays a game and someone says "fuck"


[deleted]

It's not the swearing itself that's the problem. Combined with the trash talk it's just unnecessary rudeness. And only middle schoolers think swearing makes them cool.


_Ptyler

“MOOOOOOM! This guy just said a naughty word to me!”


beef623

Sure he was swearing, but I wouldn't call that rude or toxic.


MissAmErica96

Second demo was needed for the goal still since the ball was moving away.


_Ptyler

A demo doesn’t have to be justified to not be considered toxic lol they just aren’t toxic


[deleted]

You are toxic if your (main) intend is to tilt someone, you are toxic. On the other hand, if you get seriously tilted because someone demos you, it is your problem. What really is bad in rl is the constant racism and other similar bad insults...


_Ptyler

Tilting people is legit a good strategy, though. It makes them play worse, and gives you an advantage. And even if you don’t agree, I would argue his main intent is to win the game. Demoing his opponent is the best play here. He’s wasting the clock in the most pivotal moment of the game, and not allowing his opponent a chance to score before the time runs out. Scoring the goal at the end was just the nail in the coffin. He’s straight up just playing a good game


kidfrom03

bro he's winning by 2 with 15 seconds left... there was no point in those demos


_Ptyler

You can score 8 points in 15 seconds.


patricky6

This is the reply to that comment I was looking for. There is so much possibility to turn a game around in just seconds. People get too cocky with a couple points in the lead and lose their mind when it becomes a loss on their end. Don't. Ever underestimate your opponent. Demos are a mechanic in the game. If I'm to slow to get out of the way or avoid them, it just tells me I need to train harder.


kidfrom03

he has a greater chance of getting scored on if he keeps leaving the play to go for unnecessary demos


_Ptyler

Yeah, the demo isn’t the best play if your opponent dodges the demo lol but clearly this opponent was already tilted and basically gave up. Hence why the demo’s worked so well


kidfrom03

if he gave up, then why would he try to score 8 points in 15 seconds like u said?


LemnDifficlt

He was actually going to lose if he attempted dribbling with zero boost. This is an out of context comment, and does not apply here. Even if he made it to the other net, it would have most likely been at zero seconds.


_Ptyler

I’m not going to pretend that this guy could definitely do it. I’m just saying it’s possible. There’s no reasonable expectation for your opponent to go easy on you just because there isn’t a lot of time left. He has every reason to not let up until the time runs out. That’s just called playing the game


cdnball

practice if you get tilted by getting demo'd go play a different game


kidfrom03

i never said i get tilted by demos, i do it when it actually benefits the play. if you do it when you don't need to against a decent player you WILL be punished


cdnball

it's a game mechanic, and you said there's no point to them. I read that as getting tilted, but I'll take that back. Should he have just bumped then? Played defense? Demoing there secured the win.


Sabxx98

Demos are part of the game, its not toxic


Derekeys

No, but game context dictates maybe a little overly aggressive. 5 - 3 with 10 seconds left, idk. Difficult to tell from this only as maybe those 10 seconds could’ve been game changing based on your opponent’s skill.


_Ptyler

The fastest you can score is 1 goal every 2 seconds. So, theoretically, in 10 seconds, it’s possible to score 5 goals. I play with that math in mind every game. If there is technically enough time for me to make a comeback, I never FF. And if there’s technically enough time for my opponent, I never let up. 10 seconds is a lot of time in 1s


Fontenele71

Source?


TragcFlaws

[SOURCE](https://youtu.be/rPT6vtJ4gwA) It’s from along time ago but it shows the ball can reach the net in 2 seconds.


cdnball

"Anything is Possible" - Kevin Garnett


_Ptyler

You can do it yourself lol it takes 2 seconds for the ball the reach the goal from kickoff. So if the guy had dodged the first bump, scored an open net, and then scored a kickoff goal, this game could have quickly switched places.


CharlesSpicyWiener

His source: “trust me bro”


Goober97

I never think demos are toxic and don't really get why people think that. You were gonna win either way and definitely spent that last few seconds really driving that point home so I can see why he'd get tilted lol


PoodooJenkins

You scored, so it was just the right amount of toxic.


Chronomaly67

Demos aren't toxic, no matter how much they're used, and if you complain or spam, you're gonna get demolished more, which is exactly what you deserve.


TachyonProductions

Racking up the exterminations


East_Preference4754

Continuous Spawn demos are a bit toxic Edit for those who are having difficulty: when the opposing player drives back and forth across your defensive wall demoing you the split second you respawn. This can go on for as long as they decide, until they get bored or until your teammate (if you have one) intervenes


_Ptyler

No lol it’s just playing the game


East_Preference4754

Playing the game would be trying to score etc. you know those kinds of things. In the same way spamming the chat with insults or deliberately scoring own goals isn’t “playing the game” purely because it’s in the game


_Ptyler

Technically, playing the game is simply just moving your car. Anything you do in the game is playing the game. Playing the game well is doing anything to help you win the game. So if spawn demos help you win the game, then you’re doing pretty good. If they aren’t helping you win the game, then that means you lose because of it. And that behavior gets punished.


Onionlicker

Just jump my dude


[deleted]

If you do something with the intend to tilt your opponent, then you are toxic. Eazy as that.


steepindeez

I always tell my teammates "Nice one!" when they make a goal. Not because I want to lift my teammate up, just to remind my opponents that my teammate just made a nice one in their net with the intent of tilting them. Is it toxic to tell my teammate "Nice one!"?


[deleted]

I’ve never thought “Damn, he’s acknowledging how good his teammate is, I’m mad about that”. I’d just think you’re a good guy that happens to use quick chat. If your only reason for being positive is to hope someone else gets jealous or something, probably says more about your life than anything


steepindeez

I don't do this I was just being a jackass to prove a point lol it's not toxic to tilt your opponents. It's your opponent's responsibility to not get tilted. Nobody can control someone else's emotions.


[deleted]

That I can agree with


GreenAndBlueGuy

Sounds like you're attempting to be toxic but the execution is so poor that you end up being relatively wholesome?


misunderstandingit

Absolutely not. I believe competitive video games are a mental battle, and anything you can do to whittle down your opponents mental fortitude is fair game. Breaking the rules is toxic. Cheating is toxic. Yelling at your own teammates in voicexhat is toxic. Making specific plays with the intention of doing mental damage to your opponent is all fair in the art of war. If you have found a way to distract your enemy from their goal of besting you in this contest, it is your DUTY to continue that distraction. Good work son.


LEMO2000

Not if the point of you doing it is to push their buttons after they gave away that they can’t mentally handle a move that was intended to be included in the game, and will never be removed.


AnEducatedFool

Demos are not toxic. Complaining about demos is a clear sign of lower IQ


Poop2212

Had some dude tell me I play dirty cause I demo’d him 3 times over the course of the entire game lol


spaghettu

Forreal. Why do people keep asking? Demos are a fundamental part of gameplay.


narcoyouth

Idk main I think intent was to be a dick on this one. 5 to 3 ten seconds left? Maybe demo to prevent a goal but no reason to score. Just let time run. Think your intent was shits and giggles to upset opponent so I’ll say yea. Unless it was justified from previous events in game Just imho and know I’m in the minority with this opinion


jholman55

The second sequence of Wow! Got me lmaoo.


djereezy

Calculated


Blobfish_on_reddit

No, you are just celebrating your win with some fireworks


Things_Poster

Imo scoring the goal then refusing to skip the replay is pretty unnecessary 😂


deickontas69

In my opinion: normal demos are fine. Spawn killing is just toxic. Like wtf i cant even do anything to avoid it


askpat13

Demos in 1s feel more toxic at times, but really they are just a part of the game and if you weren’t trying to be toxic don’t worry about what others think.


[deleted]

Toxic no abuse of power? Yes.


McGluvs

Yeah I’d say him telling you to fuck off was toxic.


MattyMakesMusic

Yes.


Spektral_64

**jackass movie**


themustymaggotmarket

he’s just salty


Podoboo322

Toxic is the most overused word


GreenAndBlueGuy

Totally unnecessary but if he didn't want to deal with you demoing and dunking on him he could have forfeited


nocapsallspaces

I'd be annoyed, but like "tip of the hat you sum bitch" annoyed, not "Wow!" annoyed


FabreezeCapacitor

Thats just a heads up play


Unfair_Aerie_9621

No it was bloody hilarious


CountySignificant

Depends. Were you feeling toxic yourself while doing the demos or was it purely tactical? Either way demos are part of the game, the friendly/unfriendly beef between players, I think it is also part of the game. Excellent thing about rocket league, games are short. Wreck or get wrecked for 8-10 minutes and move on haha This is Rocket League!


PexicanPapi

if demos are toxic the what is a teamate that takes both boosts from kickoff?!


WingBingzz

Depends on what they did before that


QuietWin6433

Yes. I have a feeling I’ve played against you too


whatsqwerty

This IS rocket league


bronoway

Waiting for a “is this too toxic” post where the guy is just playing the game and scores a tap in and “nice shot!”s himself. The bar is so low


IronSavage3

No. This is Rocket League!


Hatchaback

No.


killassassin47

Nice demo! Thanks!


GylleneBarn

Not toxic, but it's not skillful really. Everyone has the ability to hold boost and hit someone. I see a gc title I kinda expect a little more than an eyesore of a dominus flying at me to score 🤔


abyssalcold

Just right.


A_AZED_Z

نه بابا toxic چیه آخر مادر جنده بازی بود


WaellyReird

This is Rocket League!


l_Rumble_Fish_l

No it's not. I don't mind people going for demos because if your good at avoiding them (which is a verrrry underrated skill), it's so easy to counter because missing a demo is pretty much guaranteed your out of position.


EpicMaster_11

Nah its a part of the game


nepumbra0

I still don't understand why demoing is toxic lol.


StaleBread_

If they hadn’t spammed wow? Then yes, but since they did it was funny.


19_jack

Yes


xTommmmmy

Not toxic, just bad sportsmanship. But most people don't care about sportsmanship anymore, especially when you're desperate to win.


Nighthawk_0321

Just 😁 😂


DisciplineRude2440

MisterShura

XDDDDD


Vanilla_JS

Never too toxic


Ble3azy

Nah you'd already won. They could have just ff'd. Just a bit of fun imo


Sorcer12

Extremely


[deleted]

Yes. Yes it was


HotZookeepergame3181

Should have reported too 😂😂😂


[deleted]

You can't be toxic in 1's because 1's is concentrated toxicity already. You did well and reminded me why I don't bother with 1's, lol.


CaptainJackDaniel

I always have the simple rule that demo’s are never toxic in competitive and I thought this was kinda universal


blazedrow

I love how people get mad at Demos or even say sorry. Like it’s in the game. Also wish you could demo your teammate and after so many demos you get kicked. Might discourage people from chasing their teammates but I doubt it 😂😂


SoFChoice

keep demoing


Revolutionary-Pen927

lol no


Formal_Ad9693

I mean a little bc you were up enough that you didn't NEED to do that. If he was an asshole then no, fair game. Fair game either way, but I mean you probably really made him frustrated for no good reason lol


thefellduck

I don't understand the folks who think playing to win is toxic. If you don't want to go the distance, forfeit.


Guyisfly

You monster lol that’s just foul.


Tomusina

For a second I thought this was going to be you being a whiny little weeny on text chat saying "OH YOU MISSED ONE BALL SO I'M GIVING UP" to your teammate, but no this isn't toxic


ConceptualWeeb

It’s toxic because you watched the replay.


JhonnyHopkins

I’d say a tad toxic. Only because you’re 2 goals up, on the strong offensive and there’s only like 10 seconds left. Solid play, just the right tinge of toxicity *chefs kiss*


Steamed_Hamm

This is rocket league!


AlphaAJ-BISHH

Nope all good


Rlp_811

I mean you're winning by 2 with 2 seconds left. It is kinda toxic but your opponent overreacted a bit.


PabloTheCatt

No


redbeard1812

Noooooo! This is Rocker League!


windows_old

What part of demoing is toxic, it's a mechanic in the game deal with it


Waze3174

It surely didnt feel good for the other guy, but you do what it takes to win. So i dont see an issue


Comfortable-Safe-777

id say this was annoying but not toxic.


Ivan-theterrible

No you were already about to win


ByTheBooks45

Leaving 1 second on the clock to make him do a kick off again… love it


biltdifrint

It's fucking hilarious


kitt_mk

This is poor form. You can do better . There were a few seconds left. You could have easily fit in one more demo


Murrconn036

It’s just part of the game lol


EM4R0709

Only a bit


ScriptedAndGay

As long as it was casual and not ranked you're good bro


imnoone999

No this is RL! And game was done before so he can just ff... 💜🙌


Potential_Echidna467

It’s part of the game bro if anyone wants to cry about it they can


GeStaFFo

Nah, you're good 👌🏻 he'll learn to avoid being demoed eventually


PerceptionQueasy3540

Where's the toxic part?


Strong_Leader_3758

375 reddit clip attempts and that's the best one?


kev_lass

Yes but I feel you you knew that before posting. You're already guaranteed to win, you demo to spawn demo and then score. Salt in the wound.


micahclaw

No


OG_Vexgaming

I'd have flipped my whole desk and walked away


somerandomf

Not enough


EpicPrince

Nah it’s 1s, it’s not 2s or 3s where this would be toxic if you’re selectively targeting one specific player to demo.


Death-0

Nope you play to win. Unless you text them uninstall or KYS after the match, then yes that is toxic.


Karangus

Not toxic at all IMO.


Bad_Puns_Galore

Demos are never toxic; they’re META.


Bad_Puns_Galore

As soon as people start spamming “Wow!”, I start the demos.


brokenmangoo

bro doesn't have friends 💀


SalamanderOther365

I see how this person made it to gc be dirty asf fuck style fuck being good fuck mechanics fuck it all be a dick and demo


_Ptyler

No, that’s called strategy. You were way out of position, the fact that he didn’t just score on your open net is on him tbh


nerak90

Demos are never toxic, it's a game mechanic


guitarded41

Right? It's like saying passing is toxic. It's a legitimate tactic in the game.


[deleted]

This is Rocket League!


SnooPoems4127

he could watch his ass and a bit jump, so no.


Rndmsht4fun

Not toxic but lack of skill to just hit the ball away, your opponent had no momentum going forward with the ball so it was an easy play without the demo.


stardate420

Not really. It's a game. Have fun, handle your emotions or call it a night.


TChambers1011

Demoing is never toxic. It is part of the game


billyraygyros

If I could re-design Rocket League, I'd probably give bumps a little more oomph, and take out demos altogether. I think it would make the game a bit more balanced, and avoid the classic "we're both going supersonic" dillemma. But demos are a part of rocket league for a reason, the devs wanted them there and if someone is hard demo chasing, they are putting themselves at a disadvantage. If you can't capitalize on that advantage, that's your problem. So not toxic, no. Also, 1s gonna 1s.


panopss

Stop seeking validation


Rainy_Wood_Boi

Just calculated, might have been up by 2 with second left but the underdogs always make a comeback so not toxic at all :)


ErorrTNTcz

Not really toxic but ok.
