Rocket League. Which games have the friendliest communities?

Table of Contents

  1. In a nutshell: car football
  2. Genre: sports game
  3. Payment model: buy-to-play

One ball, two goal boxes, and fast cars... What? Psyonix studio, previously engaged mainly in contracts (collaborated with Epic Games or BioWare), created an absolutely crazy game. This is basically regular football, only played with cars. Rocket League has attracted millions of players, and as the community grows, there are different opinions about its toxicity. The production itself is strongly focused on collaboration (although you can play 1v1). There's no place for single stars, the team must work together if it wants to win.

And this is where the trouble begins. If you decide to play Rocket League, you should be ready for everything. Your team usually doesn't want to rip your body apart if you blow a good chance. You can use the chat or voice messenger and play without disturbances.

Ranked games are a little different. No matter at what level you play, you may learn some interesting allegations about your mom's past professions, about which players seem to know an awful lot. These situations aren't frequent, but they do happen sometimes. Developers, however, do a good job of fighting toxicity. The community managers quickly identify people who make life miserable for others, aided by the system that automatically detect certain words used in the chat.
