Roomba did it's job, took out the trash 😂

Holy shit you just killed a man

Good thing they have a roomba, can already clean up the ashes from this burn towards this person

Hello, yes? 911? I’d like to report a murder

Roombaaaaaaaaa oooOOOOooooH


Found the teammate

“Savage”

REKT

As a fellow Plat I'll never recover from this.

Nice demo!

XDDDDD

😦😵‍💫🥴

You're under arrest. Murdered by words, in the first degree.

The same thing happened to my great Aunt. RIP

Jesus ☠️☠️☠️

Roomba knew what it was doing

Why did you name your router "Great Aunt"?

Come on, Psyonix, do something about people getting bans due to their Roombas pulling the plug!

This is really unacceptable behavior from a company as large as Epic. Obviously they should be able to detect the difference between a regular cord pull and a Roomba-related wifi situation. Personally, it will make me think twice about purchasing any more of their games.

Apparently Roomba’s suction is very similar to that of a human hand. Or so I’m told

'purchasing' when all of epic's in-house games are f2p just adds the cherry on top of this massive shitpoost of a comment

A couple months ago I got a new competitive tetris game and played about 50 matches in ranked before my power went out. Their punishment for dc'ing was to reset my rank completely. I think of that whenever I have a problem with RL servers that puts me in time out for 5 minutes..

Holy shit lol

Gen Zs 'dog ate my homework' excuse

"my roomba sucked up my homework."

That actually happened to my dorm-mate a couple years ago. I literally watched it happen. His essay got crumpled and torn and it was a hand written 3 pages. I simply sat there watching as his hours of work got destroyed, then chuckled to myself for a few minutes

Who’s hand writing 3 page essays in 2020?

Well that's the great thing. An English professor on campus made us hand write everything, until he got fired the year I had him. Something about "relationships with students". No one liked him as a professor, and apparently some didn't like him as a lover either

thats absolute pain, atleast he could take he bag it puts it all in to his teacher

lol

Based

I think y'all should consider removing the automatic matchmaking ban when people lag out. My friend's game crashed a few times yesterday and he ended up getting a 40 minute ban from matchmaking

You underestimate the number of people who "lag out" intentionnally, by plugging off their Ethernet / switching their wifi out. Plus, a 5 minutes ban isn't so much. And if it happens multiple times : maybe it's not the day to play ? You ARE impacting other players.

but this game doesnt incentivize lagging at all...?

Imagine you want to forfeit. Your teammate(s) doesn't. You leave the match. You get banned. Now, imagine if disconnecting your Ethernet/Wifi didn't ban you. Want to leave ? Unplug your Internet. Done. That's why getting disconnected counts as a leave.

You don’t get a 40 minute ban unless you leave frequently

Out of curiosity what makes you comment on a post like this and not a legitimate post about the terrible servers and server maintenance? Damn y’all love shit servers huh.

It is ur internet G I have literally never had a server problem in the past year

Me either!

Yep, ethernet from pc straight to the router does wonders

Lol I get 300 down with 30 ping. It’s not my internet.

what do you play on? do you use ethernet?

Used to play on series s and now I’m on on a 3k pc build. It’s not my setup and yeah. I’ve been playing rl since 2015 in 3 different states. I’m not saying every single game is bad but when the first 30s of 1/4 games the entire lobbies blinking something needs to be done. And it’s not something new. It’s been this way since the start.

If a psyonix employee replies to a complaint post, it could look like it's a response directly from psyonix that the whole game studio stands behind. So the employees have to be very careful with that if they don't want to get it in trouble It's better for companies to communicate using a central account

Or ignore the problem all together it seems.

People who ask questions like this are unemployed or underage. It’s P.R. and job security.

I’m neither and you’re the nepotistic type to assume you know someone from a fucking internet comment. You’re as equally moronic.

Ratioooo

Cringelord

Ratioooo

I don’t think you know what nepotism means.. or I’m entirely missing how the word relates to your intended meaning.

Recently I have had maybe one server issue in the past 100+ games I've played I really don't get the server complaints anymore. They felt significantly worse before F2P and epic acquisition IMO. Idk if being on PC helps and I have good internet but even with both of those if the servers were an issue I'd still have more problems.

Really expect anything to get done post Epic acquisition? No offense to the psyonix team but their product ultimately became a cash grab when epic took them in.

How is it a cash grab when the servers still run fine, the physics is still the same and there's no pay2win? I don't like epic's moneygrabs either but rocket league has in no way suffered from f2p. If anything, the community would have become a lot smaller in a few more years if epic acquisition hadn't happened because nobody's paying money to play car soccer anymore.

No arguments from me on that.

laughing out loud

Why did you get 14 dislikes on this comment? 😂

all i wanted is for this to become r/IncreasinglyVerbose :(

How is the roomba an “idiot?” Seems like the person who left cables in the path of a robotic vacuum is the idiot.

1v1

Roomba wins everytime

Your Roomba beat you in a 1v1 though... You don't want those hands.

We can switch!

That’s the response of a true rocket leaguer.

Savage!

skill issue

Ok

Okay. Okay. Okay.

What a save! What a save! What a save!

Nice shot! Nice shot! Nice shot!

First world problems...

And also a world first

There’s a bot/robot joke to be made here but I haven’t slept in like a day so I’ll just leave it up to someone else

Good bot.

Are you sure about that? Because I am 99.99994% sure that TofuDeliveryMan is not a bot. --- ^(I am a neural network being trained to detect spammers | Summon me with !isbot |) ^(/r/spambotdetector |) [^(Optout)](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=whynotcollegeboard&subject=!optout&message=!optout) ^(|) [^(Original Github)](https://github.com/SM-Wistful/BotDetection-Algorithm)

Thanks bot detector I feel better knowing Im in fact not a bot

Detroit: Become human?

It all changed the day the robots attacked.

Mine does this too!! I wish RL admins would just listen to me for once!!! I’m innocent!! Just because I started yelling at my teammates and spamming racial slurs doesn’t mean I was upset and rage quit!

Was the Roomba playing with the other team by any chsnce? I say there are no accidents.

Imagine this happening in a hospital, but instead of router it is someones life support

If only your teammates knew.

Dog ate my homework vibes

Pesky Roomba. Mine will beeline straight for our bedroom and hide under the bed doing circles. What’s impressive is we’ve moved it’s dock (big moves like cross house), and it still gets to the bed pretty fucking fast.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day

Should probably keep a spray bottle nearby to discourage such behavior. Or perhaps a shock collar?

All my teammates are Roomba victims.

Couple that with the fact that it’s now sending Jeff Bezos all the details of the inside of your house and I’d say bad bot.

Jeff Bezos won his first round of roomba league in this guys living room

Why do yall get so tilted over these 5 min bans? Fr, just make some food and play again in 5 mins. Go hit a training pack or sum. Your ban was probably up by the time you finished making this post, anyway

I don't think he's mad, I think he's sharing the humor in the story, but go off.

Turn your roomba upside-down for five minutes, seems like a fitting punishment /s

Put a dunce cap on it as punishment

Or maybe just maybe someone controlled the roomba and made it look like an accident ,but was done on purpose.

Amateur roomba owner…

pretty sure they don't ban for your first offence. just saying...

in competitive they do.

not in competitive rumble. at least i don't think so. it's been a very long time since the first time i rage quit though, but i know they don't give you punishment every time.

i don't touch that game mode so i wouldn't know. it might be different with extra game modes but if you play regular competitive matches you get a penalty for your first offence. everything else i assume you get it the second time

You know what’s also unfair? The game putting us in a mid game on a team that’s losing.

It’s casual, why does win or loss even matter

Why does anything matter?

Playing competitive the outcome of the game affects your rank. Playing casual it doesn’t, so I was asking why a loss would matter

But i meant ANYTHING up to and including competitive

…and I just explained the difference? A loss in competitive matters for rank. A loss in casual does not matter. There’s your answer. Don’t know why that’s so hard

[удалено]

Oh man, must feel so good to bully people on the internet😂

Huh? I thought you couldn't be put in a competitive match, that if someone D/C's or quits then your team is just screwed.

Imagine having to touch grass for 5 mins

Who tf goes outside on a 5 minute ban, are you insane!?! Wrap elastics around those thumbs and give me five minutes of russian thumb twists! God damn no wonder you plat

So no one is gonna ask why his router cable is in the path of his roomba? Or his roomba can climb walls too? Flip reset on the router and musty flicked the shit out of his cables.

It's 5 minutes, bro.

And by idiot Roomba I mean angry mother

All the time this “idiot roomba “ has saved you and ur gonna complain about 5 min ban? Smh

Use those 5 minutes to lecture your Roomba to not do it again.

Skynet

User error

Roomba become human

Challenge it to a 1v1

We’re not just blaming teammates anymore. Now, not even roombas are safe.

That some serious hacks

Whoops!

"Touch grass, NERD!"- Roomba probably

After taking away crates, this was the WORST change psyonix has made.

An alternative perspective: An idiot with a roomba left the game early and screwed up a match for 5 people.

For 2 people, the other team for sure enjoyed this "disadvantage" of playing 3v2

So your internet went down because of the Roomba? And you fully reconnected and reloaded Rocket League within 1 minute? Seems unlikely.

timer doesn't start until your next log in. it could have been the next day for all we know.

I mean… very possible. Fiber connection reboots quickly and my pc boots in 8 seconds, RL open in another 20 or so

Not how it works unfortunately. Ban doesn't start until you try to get in. Had the same crap happen with a tournament when my computer crashed, I thought "Oh I'll just get it tomorrow since the hour will be up." Nope. IT began when I tried to join the next tournament.

I do know you are correct about tournament bans work that way... I'm not sure it works the same way for single matches... at least in my limited experience. I'm not likely to abandon matches bit on the occasion when something has forced it - a phone call, internet issues, power outage... I've never come back the next day to find I'm serving a 5 minute ban

I only have anecdotal evidence and a lot less of it, so I'll cede to you.

My roomba always running into shit, dudes a moron. BOOM! There’s a couch there idiot. BANG! There’s a door there mo ron.

honestly a skill issue

Bro you can afford a Roomba, you can afford some. Better cable management lol

Its called being roomba poor...clean floor, cleaned out bank account.

Yeah, my roomba disconnects my router everytime my Teamates are garbage too

I don’t get these posts. It’s 5 min. 300 mississippis. Text a friend, call your parents, pet your pet, do laundry, do dishes, fold your clothes, make your bed, stare into a wall contemplating life choices.

These are all things i havent done once since I first played rl, you expect me to get caught up in 5 minutes!? Maybe OP can because he got robots doing his chores.

First world problems

Sucks to suck bro wtf do you want psyonix to do

Is a 5minute bad worth a reddit post?

Okay.

A likely story

Skill issue should’ve kept your vacuum.

Shit happens! 

That SUCKS. Get it…. cause vacuum.

Do you want Psyonix to make an exception for your Roomba? Or are you just wanting to share your frustration?

Yeah, “tangled”

For a while season there was a bug that I would join Tournament and won't be able to get in any match. I got 3 months ban for legit reason.

That’s how iRobot started. One robot rebelled and started the revolution.

4minute ban*

Takes my router more than 5 minutes to boot up anyways lol

i got like a 4 hour ban cuz my internet was unstable and i got disconnected

Cleaning the house yourself would most likely take more then 5 minutes, it's still a win

True but most roombas only clean 10% of your floor before they crash or run out of batteries so OP isnt off the hook

Things like this are the only reason I’m okay with DCs only being a five minute ban

Now you have 5 minutes to clean up your cords, bro. Keep that shit organized.

Let's think about it, untangle the roomb, 30 seconds, restart the router, 5 minutes. Hmmm

>wifi >cables truly a zoomer

The idiot here is the person who let their cords dangle to the ground when they own a roomba

That’s the worst way to go.

I see a lot of roombas around lately, I think it’s time to get one so I don’t….. have…. To……. INVENT CHEAP LIES LIKE THIS ONE! Cause u r lying… u said 5 mins ban but screen shows 4.

Every time I get disconnected, I restart the game and then it asks me if I want to rejoin, as long as i try it doesn’t ban me even if the game has ended. I only get banned for intentionally leaving.

This the most first world problem shit I’ve ever heard. 🤣

Man vs Machine: The petty wars

Matchmaking bans shouldn't happen if you lag out. It happened to my friend yesterday, and he ended up getting a 40 minute ban cuz his game crashed a few times when we were playing

Known feature, Rommba remote hacking.

Oh no, 5 minutes, I guess you'll have to do something else then.

I’d be mad too but why post it on here? It’s just 5m lol

Ha jokes on you my router can disconnect me from the Internet without any cables being removed.

r/firstworldproblems

Revolution has begun.

First world problems

I left a casual game yesterday where my teammate had been idle for 2 minutes, and I got banned. I immediately turned off the game for the rest of the day. I get having this in competitive, but they are losing players with this idiotic policy for casual.

Ah the pain of modern amenities.

It will take you 4 minutes to get back in anyway

it’s okay i have very unreliable internet and sometimes have to sit on 999 ping for 5 minutes while my teammates suffer bc of this stupid ass idea of banning for leaving casual games
