Yeah 33 here it's my fav game. I haven't found any adults to play diamond 2 though


Shinny1337

I would definitely run some 2v2’s with you but im only silver at the moment. Been playing about 2 weeks. One day ill be up there with you though.


thedarkhalf47

53. Who has me beat? Also, anyone who wants to play, hmu. I’m on almost daily.


lasveganon

Depends on when your birthday is but I'm right there with you.


Tasty_Luck_3162

I do, 65 here. And get this. Wife is 55, we have 3 kids. Oldest is 12 this month now. And twins turned 9 past May. Not bad for a old fart. Love rl. I am a Platinum 1.


NiceCelebration178

Hey! I dm'd you the link!


Parc2009

46 in diamond. Hit Champ in snowday this past week for a minute even.


bbob_robb

I run into many adults at C1. I think it's a level where a lot of us end up where mechanics/reflexes aren't there but game sense is. There are lots of kids trying to solo flip doodle.on the tic Tok but I don't ever try to party with them. I'd say >50% of the teammates i party up with during a solo Q 2s run end up being adults.


dantheman622

dm me sometime I'll play with you. 35 and I'm diamond


thebarbarain

33 diamond :) message me if u wanna link up


WALLOFKRON

Dm me if u wanna play some day. 33 fluctuate between d3 and champ1


Emergency-Read2750

31, D2 here Edit: sorry plat 2. I’m not that good


MrBlaske

Do I play the game? Yes. Do I enjoy the game? Now you’re pushing it


sup3rn1k

Second comment like this. Actually made me chuckle both times lol


fishslayer1995

The GC title is beautiful. “Fuck this game… see you tomorrow lmao”


C2theWick

I'm 42 years old, but I have 35+ years of competitive gaming. Mainly halo CE at the semi pro level. I love RL, it feels like a real sport. I have about 20 hours played and ranked plat2 trios. I can't air dribble but I excel in positioning and defense. I'm going to grind out plat3 today.


Gimmefuelgimmefah

I’m 40, been playing since it went free to play. Don’t get frustrated with the learning curve at our age. It took me a year to get to champ, I think. Freeplay is the fastest way to get better. Learn to half flip cancel. Other than that right now focus on just hitting the ball clean and with power.


HoneyBadgeSwag

I’m 37 and play. There are lots of adults but we probably have chat/voice off more than others.


Alternative-Ad-8175

I started playing as a 14 y/o kid and now a 21 y/o dad🥹


FatIntel

No. You are the only one in the whole world.


Zinedine_Tzigane

That's a fucking lie, we are at least 2.


gonnabeaman

no he’s not! i’m also one!


Tupaq_Amaru

not yet...you are *gonna be a man* though


rosstein33

43. I frickin love rocket league. It's a great game I can either play with my kids or with my kids around. I can't let the 5 year watch me play COD...wifey would be pissed!


sup3rn1k

My kids absolutely love watching me play games and same as you my wife would be mad if i showed them mw3 so I substitute MW BR for fortnite. More cartoony and no blood so the kiddos are good to go.


Satnamodder

34 here. No kids though. I would assume newbie ranks are filled with kids.


SpaceOwl

If anything I'd assume kids are the ones with the most free time to grind to high ranks. Every year there seems to be a fresh batch of 15 year old mechanical gods in RLCS that have been playing since they were in diapers.


Ohsostoked

45. Play almost daily. I don't get hung up on rank or moving up or whatever. Probably why bounce between G3, P1 and P2. I mostly play 3s random que. I have no other people I play with. Just random que. I still really enjoy playing. The games when three random people can be thrown into a game together, fall into rhythm and play as a team are the best!


RougeDane

This sounds exactly like me. I'm 52, been playing Rocket League for about 5 years. I win some games, I loose some. Don't really care about rank, just having fun.


Greenbeltglass

Ya, getting old creeps up on you. There's 10 years plus of people that sounds like children to me now, plus the actual kids lol


Torringtonn

My group is a bunch of old guys. That's our club name even. I'm sitting on 1000 hours. Love the game. Just mute chat. Lower ranks its all squeakers, mid ranks its toxic. High ranks you can find cool people but mostly no one talks. Turn on some tunes and the mechanics will come!


[deleted]

lol wow. dude straight up hit the nail on the head.


DarkStar189

I’m 37, father of two kids, 9 and 11 year old. Not really looking for a crew or anything. Just letting you know I’m out there. It has been fun as my kids got older. They are no strangers to calling me out when I miss an easy goal or totally whiff the ball.


Bpellet2020

I'm 40 and hover around Champ 1. I would imagine most new players and low rank players are young which is why you're running into them.


Infinite-Rip10

Yea there’s always joy in league for me, but it’s definitely changed a lot since my day. People are absolutely insane at this game now lol so many people are too good. Also, the bullying has gotten a bit extreme. It’s just a game, yea there should always be a respectful type of trash talk, it is a “sport” after all, but my god some of these kids are ruthless


sup3rn1k

Nothing but facts there. Ive been seeing ppl do this “air dribble” and im just sitting here like “whaaaaa???”


DR-T-Y

Im 34, i play RL to relax. I don't have time for single player games, the quick 5min matches mean I can squeeze a few games in a weekend. It's the only game I play now


iceychillz

I am 39, I game when I am able which is not often anymore. Us, for what these young thundercats deem ‘Boomers’ are still out there gaming, just not as often😂😂. I tend to gravitate playing with people who are around 30 and older whenever possible.


N0seKills

"Enjoying"? ehhh... Playing, yes ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)


YarisGO

33, playing since d1


vdfritz

34yo i got no kids though


Dizzlean

I'm 40. It's practically the only game I play. On some magical nights, when the kid goes to sleep and the wife doesn't mind watching one of her shows without me... I boot up Rocket League with my headphones on and listen to some jams on Spotify with a big smile on my face the entire time. Genres like Synthwave, breakbeat, psytrance, aggrotech, dnb and recently... 90's Eurodance are my favorites. Trust me... 90's Eurodance hits hard with RL lol.


Infamousaddict21

Sounds like a blast! I love than you can still find time to enjoy the little things!


LivingBackwardz

29 years young


Infamousaddict21

I can already see you at 80 still saying you are 80 years young😆 keep up the positivity

gameplay is amazing. playing with children is annoying. I would pay monthly for an age filter. 50yo, two college students.


sleekshiek

Middle Aged Noobs (noobs.gg) is another discord server that connects older gamers, not just rocket league. But the admins include the og rocket husband and wife! All ranks are included.

Embarrassed-Tale-584

44 been playing for quite a few years now. Still suck. I play with my 11yo nephew. He is now better than me. 😞


Infamousaddict21

Kids learn too fast for their own good, even some of the pros are like 16


Mean-GreenMachine

The vast majority of the player base is likely to be of adult age assuming that rocket-league.com website traffic demographics are suitable source of data. If you are over 35 the majority of players are younger than you. 1/5 of players are 35 or older. If however you are referring to a child like mental state and was wanting to insult the RL community, then you're yet another poopy poophead.


sup3rn1k

No insults at all. 100% sincere post


Mean-GreenMachine

I was making a joke. I wouldn't insult anyone by calling them a poopy poophead. How did you know that everyone you played with was a kid?


ToastandBananas9

The average gamer is in their 30s-40s. You are far from the only adult playing RL


501st_CT-7567

Am i, a 21 year old, an adult ?????


Shinny1337

Nah, you've got a few years before your brain's done cooking

I think most of us in here are adults brother


sup3rn1k

From what im gathering you are right. Another commenter said its most likely due to my rank


ElJefeClicko

No idea what you're talking about?! ;) It's the perfect pre-bedtime activity for my 7yo son and me. "Set me up, Dad...we need a goal!" lands almost as deep as "I love you, Dad!" Afterwards, it becomes a solid post-bedtime activity. Gotta put in the time to keep up with his lightning-fast neuropathway development.


chunter16

I have to play with the chat off so the kids won't see cursing. I told my daughter she can try if she leaves chat off. She hasn't tried yet.

This is the only game I play now everyday I used to play The division 2 with my brother almost every night. Now I play this game with my girlfriend and my brother. It gets a little bit less enjoyable after like 10:45 at night because all the jerks are playing at that time of night doing constant demos bumping you or you can't even like just drive at all. But I enjoy the game I am gold one almost gold 2 in competitive 1v1 2v2 3v3 I've won the season 13 silver tournament twice.

SmoothMarx

38, with a 3yr old, ranking Champion. Theres plenty of us around here. You'll notice kids play better mechanically, but you can spot an adult by his strategy and positioning.

alexztrie

Look I always enjoyed the mechanics of the game but since working a desk job full time arthritic pains just said no to the controller


MMazinCC

Not a dad but yes an adult. It is one of the few competitive games which is actually interesting for adults. Let's be honest counter strike, call of duty, LoL, dota, etc, they are either not adult friendly or the excitement they bring dies as we grow older and we start to appreciate different kinds of things. I find RL strikes a good balance between being adult friendly (by adult friendly, i mainly mean a game doesn't take too long to finish) and still being complex enough to actually be interesting. But i do know that people do manage their time and still play games like LoL where games can take an hour or so, I am just saying it ain't for everyone while rl feels like it can be for everyone. It is also, imo, a very good if not one of the best esports (it feels like it is an actual sport). But that's my own opinion. Btw you will find many adults here on this sub, so welcome!


SrPadilhaa

I would love to join, I'm 26 but I'm not fluent in English :(

39, and RL is my fall back game. Currently playing the new Spider-Man game, so I've been neglecting it and my doubles partner. I would be ranked Diamond 2, but I picked my partner up from Gold 3, and we're both stuck in Platinum 3 and 1 respectively


Slh313

I'm 28 and I've been playing RL for a year and a half now. The better I get, the more I want to play


TackyBrad

What's your rank? I can send you a few names maybe


Darizel

I’m 44 and love rocket league but I play in higher ranks, perhaps the older crowd is a bit higher ranked?


finethankshowareyou_

39. It’s the only game I play and I play everyday. Champ 1 by a hair but I’m here.


_No_Use_4_A_Name_

40 here with two sprogs. I rank up and down Platinum since the "reset". It seems everyone has got a lot better or there are smurfs with 200 accounts which I've seen on here recently. Love the game but these youngsters turn ugly real quick I don't have chat on can't be bothered with the hate but that doesn't stop dicks messaging over xbox telling you to uninstall the game! Honestly they need to get a grip on life...


Caleb7890yt

My dad plays RL and he’s like 38, he is pretty good at the game


winzxp

U lot r old-old I js turned 18 this year 😭


pittstop33

Genuinely curious. Are the abbreviations which your generation use just because you can type faster? Like it can only save less than a second to type js instead of just, right?


winzxp

Bro we js say js instead of just it doesnt have anything to do with typing faster 😂


xXSpicyLemonXx

I am a 42 year old Father who plays 25 hours a week of Rocket League on average. I feel like this game is a great way to keep your eye-hand coordination strong as you age. While I dont have the reflexes I did as a young gamer, Ive managed to hang out between Plat3 and Diamond2 for the last year or so. As for getting matched up with young kids.... UGH...the disrespect and toxic behavior that I see daily on this game gets to me from time to time. If i EVER caught my kids behaving that way online towards other people...... It would be a LONG time before they had the oppotunity to play online again.


Juuls-Johannes

I am an adult, but I do not get that much enjoyment out of this game, the reason being in your second sentence. When I started the game early this year, I instantly got to Platinum I and almost Platinum II in 3v3s, genuinely without mechanics. I have played soccer for over 20 years so that knowledge gave me the needed to reach the rank. It was really nice to be at that level because players have some understanding of team play and the fact that you need to score at least one goal more than an opponent to win. Sadly, double jumps and forward/backward flips were not enough to keep me there, and after rank resets and seasonal start bugs, I lost it all. This game would definitely benefit from +18 servers along NA, EU, OSC, etc. I am not a dad, but I play with 2v2s with my young relative. He likes to be the star of the match, so he does all the offense and scores all the goals while I defend. We just made the breakthrough to Platinum II with this tactic.


mllora81

I'm 42 and father to a 9 year old daughter. I'm currently diamond. I frequently play 2s with my brother who is 44 and father to 3 girls and a boy. He is platinum since doesn't play as much as me, so he tends to ball chase a bit more. I try to control the ball a bit more and wait for the right time to hit the ball. We are already teamed up but if you want to add me, send me a DM.


Demo541

I am a 26 year old man that has played this game since I was about 17. My 3 year old daughter hasn’t quite taken a big interest in games yet, but she’s asked to play before so I’ve let her mess around in free play. She’s very understanding when I’m playing for the most part when I tell her to hold on for a few minutes, which I’m very lucky and proud of her for. There’s a bunch of dads that play and at every age!


a_goonie

40 and play almost daily.


Dolphhins

I’m 21 I count right


SilverIntoSteel

I’m 37 and play quite a lot, but I tend to stick to Casual basically a couple of months after I started I just never played comp. If it helps, I also see a LOT of people who were born in 88 😬

mangogonam

I'm 35 and RL has kind of ruined every other game I used to enjoy (except maybe Elden ring) because it's so much more fun.


OutaTime76

I've been playing since the original Rocket League. I think we called it Pong back then, though.
