How about them making the variants like Snow Day unavailable unless it’s in season, or at least that’s how it looked to me when I logged back on after a year or two of not playing. I also remember when you could play Snow Day and it wasn’t competitive.
Yeah, Snow Day and Dropshot are seasonal for ranked play. That’s because they were not popular enough on their own so it was taking too long to find matches at high ranks, making it hard to get the season title. Has nothing to do with the Epic acquisition though, just a need to reduce fragmentation on the player pool.
I would venture a guess that they are not popular enough because of the changes they made. I do recall a ton of people being pissed when they switched them to not having a casual option and went to ranked only. I wasn’t sure about the epic acquisition having an effect though. Thanks.
They were made ranked on 2018, and Rocket League had its peak in player base around 2020-2021 after it became free. Unfortunately that was followed by a huge drop in player base in 2022, which led to the extra modes changes in 2023.
