Wow, they're going real direct with that ban/chat ban..... (or at least when it becomes a full ban)
Also, chat banned players actually will still be able to use Quickchat, but only every 5 seconds.... 
I bet the ban notifications will cause controversy. But I don't know why they backed off with allowing Quickchat every 5 seconds. They'll still use it to be salty/pissed off.
Also, in the Garage, identical items without different attributes will now stack. So be aware of that. Does this include crates? lol Actually, I think the Garage has tabs now. I wonder if this will make crafting items into others easier or harder.
Oh no...... They've added manual bandwidth/rate limiters that can be set by the user?........ Are you kidding me?..... Here: Have an easier way to mess with other players. Hell, there's plenty of that in TF2. (And as I already know very well, Psyonix loves copying everything TF2 does to a ridiculous degree. Like, crazy.)
There's also new Interface and controller options. There's even an option to only show the kickoff countdown pop-up letters while removing the time remaining ones for those occasional annoyances. Does this include "save/clear/shot at goal/etc?".... Damn, I really really wish they would get rid of Shot at Goal scoring.... "Ooh, I took a shot, but missed!" But a defensive person gets fucked score-wise because, of course having aggressive teammates in general, but also flawed Save registration....
Interestingly, I think they've added the Starbase (original?) and Aquadome arenas back into Competitive. Is it the original Starbase or the rectangular one?...
You can also turn the game music on during matches now.
Oh but.... now there's Spotify integration. 
I haven't played this patch yet, but I've had better luck I think with crafted items actually identifying themselves, lately I'm not sure though.

Summer Roadmap www.rocketleague.com/news/rocket-league-roadmap-summer-2018/Oh my frickin god.... They're adding a "Rocket Pass", which... seems like a movement towards, if not entirely a copy of TF2's current contract system? I'm not quite sure yet, but jesus.... They copy every. single. thing. Valve does with TF2. Everything. Though they haven't actually said if you have to do certain actions yet, or if it's just playing and earning XP. Speaking of which, XP is being overhauled. Every level will be flat, instead of an increasing ramp. Items (I believe) will now be given at level ups instead of randomly. "Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, or Import items." Cross platform invites still in development.
Quite sad that there doesn't seem to be any work on any new gamemode. But even more sad that (I think partially to do with the new mode select menus they gave the game), how ridiculously dead the non-standard gamemodes are becoming. Even Rumble, which is the best. Like... god damnit, Psyonix.... and people.  Hell, they haven't even bothered to fix things in Rumble they've broken with hit detection updates, like a grappled ball not hitting away if it's coming in too fast, and you freakishly grapple to the back of the ball (correctly), but you and the ball just get sent careening into the goal that you were trying to defend....  Rocket Lab maps have never had their edges fixed so that the camera doesn't go through the rounded edges, making you unable to see. sad. |

Ok, this makes no sense.... Gold does not get the gold banner. We get the pink one and lower....
lol They had to put individual xp levels in the banner image (which are bogus).... What a slap in the face.
These are out of order. Gold and Platinum (there's a Platinum??) get Striker and Striker Pro. Diamond and higher get Legend (or all 3).
Way to make things really stupidly confusing.

www.rocketleague.com/news/patch-notes-v1-45/#New season and stuff from above added + cosmetics. Let me guess, they still haven't fixed items (particularly crafted items) not identifying themselves..... 
There's a bunch of known issues listed as well.

Some more on the Rocket Pass system, Rocket League's version of TF2's Contract passes. www.rocketleague.com/news/rocket-pass-a-closer-look/There's a free pass for everyone and paid pass for $10. However, the first set of passes are very simple and seems like they may only be XP based? Future passes will supposedly have basic objectives to complete, but safe ones to hopefully not effect gameplay. (Yeah, they say that.... But we know how that's gone in TF2. Heck, maybe we'll suddenly have a lot of goalies.   )
(Ha.... I just figured out why my font on Proboards was so small... My page Zoom level was still set to something else here. I forgot why I zoomed it.) |

RocketIDs (for cross-platform parties) has been pushed to September.
But the August update with progression changes is still happening and the first Rocket Pass (free and premium, like TF2 contracts) are coming a week later.
Holy shit, in September, Rumble and Dropshot (and "etc") are being added to Ranked.... They say its own tab, but idk if that means a "sports" tab, as they call it, or if they are all grouped into 1 matchmaker, which would be bullshit. Really odd that they're doing this after all this time and how it's gone. Seems like a last attempted gasp of air for them or something.
