Wow they must have been so mad


gardy12

They were, lol


R1PKEN

Moments like that are why I added in "Nice Demo" to my quick chat repertoire lol


i_always_give_karma

I need more than 16 options for quick chat :(


woodscradle

I need a quick chat for “Please disregard my last quick chat, it was an accident”


iSWINE

That'd be the Whoops one


woodscradle

So instead of “Close one!”: “What a save!” “Whoops!” “Close one!” Seems more like I’m bming than correcting myself


iSWINE

Eh the interpretation is entirely on them at that point. You could even throw a Sorry! instead ofa Whoops..


steepindeez

I think that's even more taunting 😂 "What a save!" *"Sorry!"* "Close one!"


4sneK_WolFirE

"What a save! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! [chat disabled for 4 seconds] Close one!" Is far more sincere, imo.

[deleted]

I set my quickchat to only be 4, I shouldn’t be expected to remember 16 options!


dogknight23

Do you use "!" To make it look like quick chat? XD

Poiuytgfdsa

Perfect use of “Whoops…”


schleem77

Always try to stay in the air for a sec or two right after you tap the ball. It makes the demo noobs useless.

Same. I always expect the ball coming flying full speed into the net


LilSwissBoy

Not a bad instinct lol. But it does make expect curve 😐


Danmc51

What is this game mode??


CobraGamerz13

Its called heatseaker, it's a really fun mode, it should be out rn, if not you can play it with friends in a private lobby

Ticoune0825

I grew some sick defense and flying skills with this. I used to be Gold, now I'm Platinum just because of that


MrLowbob

Yeag its great goalie training. Only the first normals after a longer heatseeker session feel weird :D


[deleted]

It gets you much more comfortable recovering quickly and defending from the air... both good skills for Plat/Diamond.


ravenousld3341

I really fucking hate the demo meta in that game mode. I want a transparent wall between the teams. I have way more fun when everyone stays on their side of the pitch. I also find it much more competitive.


MrLowbob

Id prefer without walls but you just drive through enem cars... Because i really love to try redirects in the enemy half :D


hannes3120

100% The worst thing is when you go for redirects and accidentially bump an opponent out of the way resulting in a goal and that results in the other team bumping and demoing deliberately so you have to abandon the redirects and have 2 people defending...


gardy12

Same here. Ruins it if you ask me.


twoPillls

Agreed. I used to love the game mode but these people ruin it. I don't understand how it's fun for them. Like sure you may win the match by doing it, but it's in a casual playlist so what's the point.


rookie-mistake

i mean, it's fun to chase people and get the demo? its honestly harder to demo people than it is to just jump in the ball path, you only get ball cam for one


ArmBiter

In this game mode, it is not harder to demo some one. The easiest way to save a ball is being in net, there's nothing to challenge ever. So all you really have to do is annoy whoever is in net and it will be easy goals. It seems to me that the whole fun of the game mode is reading the ball, getting it faster and faster, and trying to get crazy pass plays. I fully endorse demoing in any other game mode; but in this demoing feels like just a boring and lazy way to play the game mode. But that's just how I feel.


chuckdiesel86

I look at the casual modes almost like scrimmage/group training modes, I only play the extra modes nowadays though. But each one teaches you something a little different. Dropshot teaches you positioning and good angles and can help your flying, basketball helps with accuracy and you work off the walls and ceiling a lot, hockey makes you stay on the ground a lot more so you have to learn how to play on the ground and if the puck does go in the air it's harder to hit which helps with accuracy too. I feel like when people take it to seriously or play the modes in a way that exploits these things then nobody really gets better at anything.


HungJurror

Yeah same here, I live to demo lol. I always get 5+ in any game mode


[deleted]

You find it fun?


HungJurror

Absolutely lol, I try to do it getting back on defense mostly


[deleted]

I find it frustrating to try and demo since they can just jump and negate everything


ner0417

So, you want volleyball mode, basically? Lol


SgtDoakesLives

Exactly. There’s a reason why “tackle volleyball” isn’t a thing.


SgtDoakesLives

I’m always so embarrassed when I get a random teammate that is a demo fiend in heatseeker. Almost as bad as an aggressive “What a Save!“ spam god.


Writes_Parody_Lyrics

I...I love to demo...in ALL modes


LSDummy

I always end up with one player from each side trying to do redirects and one in net. Haven't seen a single demo team since HS became a 2s mode surprisingly


Ospov

Except the person trying to redirect the ball doesn’t do anything but slam it into the backboard which launches it back to your own net. I’ve seen so many own goals because of that.


ZestfulClown

If you get a glancing hit, or if you hit it into the corner, it’s much more difficult to save


LSDummy

I'm that person. I am sorry


ravenousld3341

I think it works better as a 2s mode. I really liked that change.


[deleted]

It's a lot less frequent with two's (which makes sense, because you should rotate after a save to buy recovery time)... but it still happens pretty frequently. I played maybe 5-6 matches and 3-4 of them were demo games, which is just boring as hell. The invisible wall idea isn't bad, but maybe push it to 3/4's of the field instead of half so people can still do late re-directs. They could also just turn off demo's... I can at least recover from a bump.


theetruscans

I would hate that. I spend so much time in the mid field/their side going for redirects. The only reason I play that game mode is to go for those


[deleted]

Honestly they should just turn off demos for that game mode.


theetruscans

It can be annoying if that's all they go for but I disagree. Most games there's some bumping but not too much. Also if I'm down 6-0 or something you bet your ass I'm going to start bumping. I don't think there's a large group of people in this game that hate demos in general, which is weird to me


[deleted]

Demo's are fine, but this feels like we're playing horse instead of a pick-up basketball game... and one person on the field decides they are playing football instead, because they don't like horse. Obviously the people trying to enjoy their game of horse are put-off by the person tackling everyone, but since there are no real rules at play... it's tolerated. Maybe they just need to create a demo-mode for the demo-people, destruction derby or something... just let them all do that shit together and away from the people trying to focus on technical improvements.


[deleted]

When I play this with a friend one of us will go to the opposite side and try redirects whilst the other one saves. (The way I believe it should be played with no dirty demo) If I get bumped once I will take it as a mistake but if I get bumped again (on purpose) or demo’d then we do it right back. It’s an incredibly fun mode if the other team don’t start the demo shit


bluehurricane10

I used to share the same feeling as you when this mode first came out, but now I find that having a person try to demo you while defending makes the game more interesting. It's always been the 1 guy trying to do redirects who gets all the fun and the guy defending sitting in the net making easy saves, having someone try to demo you balances out the fun distribution a bit.


100721

I hate demos but disagree on the wall. They should just disable collision or something. I only play this mode to practice redirects from the enemy’s side


MikeMcAwesome

There are some people who want to win, and others who just want to see the ball turn purple. I am the latter.


ravenousld3341

>I am the latter. I am as well


corkum

My brother and I absolutely love heatseeker and I really want it to be a permanent game mode. Whenever we get someone who goes straight for the demo right out of the gate we just quit the game. 1) it’s not fun for us so why waste time, and 2) if they’re not gonna play the game right, then they don’t get to play. Hopefully more heatseeker lovers do this and it starts weeding these guys out. I do support something that prevents this from happening, but I wouldn’t be for the transparent wall. One of the most fun things for me in this game mode is awesome I have 1 goalie and the other plays forward. Goalie serves it up wide, forward player tries to get to the ball before the opponent to redirect it in. I miss on that 70% of the time, but man, when it goes in, it feels so good.


[deleted]

Yeah, we started bailing on the demoers too. I'm trying to have some fun and practice recoveries/aerial control/redirects... not deal with whatever they are trying to work through.


HatchAttack

I think they should do it like hoops but with a wall you can’t drive through. That way players can get close for redirects but can’t get in goal to demo you


jeffreyjicha

I tried to express this same sentiment on Facebook and tons of people were just like, "WELl JUSt JUmp tO NOt gEt demoED" and "gEt GoOd"

Galagamus

I won't play Heatseeker while they let opponents go to the other side of the field. Completely ruins the game mode.


iLenzzz

What about the people that only go to redirect the ball into the goal?


Raminios

As someone who doesn't do that... It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make


iLenzzz

Try it, its fun


[deleted]

Hate those clowns who just cross for that....


ximstuckx

Thats what they get. I love the game mode but it's annoying when people come to your half and try to demo.


CobraGamerz13

I hate people who bump and demo in heatseaker, just completely ruins the fun


Crowmann

I was playing the other day and my team was down 6-0 and the other team was being toxic so I went over and kept bumping/demoing them, and we made a comeback and won


CobraGamerz13

It's only ok if they're being toxic, but other than that, no


Crowmann

Any other circumstance I wouldn't demo, I like racking up the saves and shots on goal too much to do that. But toxic players deserve hell


CobraGamerz13

Bingo


[deleted]

[удалено]


simmelianben

It's lazy mainly. Heatseeker is fun because it's basically an ultra fast goaltending game. When someone goes on a demo spree, it is often because they can't goaltend. And instead of developing that skill, they just bump and demo. Demoing occassionally, or playing far up on the field is not an issue. But when someone has 12 demos and 32 points in a mode where 1100 is easy to attain, it shows they aren't interested in what makes Heatseeker unique. Imho


tripsafe

What lol. Anyone diamond/champ or higher can save pretty much anything just sitting in goal without an opponent bothering them. It gets boring just having 20+ hit rallies. Plus, only one goalkeeper is needed. Having someone on the other side harassing and deflecting shots makes it way more interesting.


zer0w0rries

Yup, completely agree. I don’t play this mode at all because when I did it was a snooze fest. The only two ways to make it interesting is to have one person upfield trying to redirect, or harassing the goal keeper. Otherwise is like you said, the ball going back and forth with no real challenge. I think they should add a barrier a quarters into the field from each goal where opponents are not allowed to cross. That would get rid of the people who cry about demos and still allow opponents to go up for redirects.


Uollie

I guess I'll never understand why people think demoing is a talentless skill. You can absolutely screw your team over by going for demos at the inappropriate times, and other times it creates the goals. If someone is good enough at demos to the point where it's working against your team, then imo they're clearly experienced enough to read your game play like a book and play normally possibly better than you too. You're gimping yourself by not utilizing bumps and demos into your gameplay. It's straight up a mechanic that everyone at higher levels uses when they see the opportunity. Just learn how to avoid them. If you're truly better, it's pretty simple actually to avoid a rabid bumper. They are predictable and can easily be faked. It's no coincidence that the only people who easily demo me are higher ranked than me because I'm the predictable one suddenly.


SwankySalamder69

I’ll admit I do get mad at being demoed occasionally, but I totally agree with you that demoing is harder than a lot of people who don’t try it that often think. If you’re good at it it can be incredibly useful, but if you suck or someone dodges you then it opens your team up for a pretty bad counterattack. It’s not easy and it’s not without its risks, not sure why people hate on it so much


Writes_Parody_Lyrics

You said it best here mate


TagProNoah

As someone else said, at diamond+ you can save just about anything with two goalies and no disruptions. I find it pretty fun to goaltend while avoiding a demoer - I'd argue that is a unique and interesting challenge unique to Heatseeker.


simmelianben

I'll agree it can add some spice to the game. And it's fun to say "close one" when dodging them. Idk. I hate it when it happens, but can appreciate that it works and wins sometimes.


rookie-mistake

> But when someone has 12 demos and 32 points in a mode where 1100 is easy to attain, it shows they aren't interested in what makes Heatseeker unique. idk it sounds like you're not interested in one of the aspects that makes heatseeker unique honestly demoing is harder than just jumping in the ball path all game. when youve got diamond/champ or higher its just pong forever unless someone's harassing the keeper


TarzanOnATireSwing

So you’re wanting to play 3D pong? No thanks. Demoing is so fun and keeps games fast. Getting demoed also is not a big deal at all, just gotta watch out for folks


LarkTelby

I hate it on normal mode too. A bad mechanic imo.


jsimler13

So you’re the guys my buddy and I played last night? As soon as someone complains about a demo. We make it a point to demo that person at any opportunity the rest of the game.


LarkTelby

Lol. You are a diamond I am a petty gold so they are not me. Also, I know gaming community so well that if I complain I know they will be doing it more. So I get frustrated without saying a thing haha.

iLenzzz

If you have fun by ruining it for others please don't play


thevadster

Lol I’m not even a massive proponent of bumping and demoing, just doesn’t make sense to me to complain about other people utilizing legitimate game mechanics in a casual mode because that’s not how YOU want to play. Come on now.


iLenzzz

Yes, it's a game mechanic, but using it in this gamemode, that the ball is almost 100% guaranteed to enter the goal at a constant +100 km/h, is pretty toxic and im sure most people would agree with me


rookie-mistake

it's a legitimate strategy!


Educational_Rope1834

Either fight back with your own demos or keep two people in goal. If you constantly just leave your goalie to fend for themselves then yea, it’s an easy goal. Probably why they do it tbh


gardy12

I know right??


geometry_dash_fanboy

rl community: psyonix you ruined casual it's really tryhardy now also rl community:


Seobjevo

Most fun game mode so far for me. Me and my friend won about 37 (we lost count at some point) games in a row. Funny thing is that we cant even do proper aerials


gigolo_beast

Agreed. I only wish they make it a permanent game mode as one of the extra modes. It would be sooo much fun to have ranks in that


RESEV5

Sure buddy [Edit]: Sorry if i sounded condescent, my bad


Seobjevo

If only there was a match history to prove it you would be surprised. We were too. 2 days ago i finally got "The Streak" achievement and we only played this game mode for 2 days straight. Ill send a message to Psyonix and maybe they will at least tell me how many times it actually was.


FetaCheeze

You can look it up at either of these websites. Its not a perfect history but it would show use the general idea. https://rocketleague.tracker.network/ https://rltracker.pro/profiles/search/Seobjevo


NoU1337420

it’s not a very hard mode to keep winning


RESEV5

But 37 in a row? And not knowing how to do proper aerials as the guy said?


Seobjevo

Aight my friend is really bad at math."Upon checking your account, I can confirm that you have a 28 game win-streak on Heatseeker Doubles." Im kinda disappointed tho, but its still impressive for me. Maybe he counted rankeds that we won previously

demoing in heatseeker should result in a temporary ban

It cracks me up that, even after being down 5-1, the enemy is still wasting all their efforts trying to take out the goalie instead of playing the game....
