* MemeticMutation: Many of the preset text messages (accessible via button shortcuts and are cross-platform unlike custom text messages) have become this. This is mainly because if you rapidly press a message's shortcut, you'll send it 3-4 times in a row before seeing a message such as "Chat disabled for 3 seconds." Perhaps the most memetic preset message is "What a save!", which more often than not, is used to sarcastically mock a player who failed to save, rather than a praise of a successful save.

The game flows as follows - two teams of up to four vehicles compete to knock a giant ball into the opposing goal. The standard game length is five minutes, with whichever team having the most points at the end winning, and a SuddenDeath happening in case of a tie.

* CherryTapping: There are a number of vehicles that are excellent at maneuverability, acceleration, etc, and [[ComplacentGamingSyndrome those are the ones you're almost guaranteed to see at least one of in every ranked match]]. Then there are the Backfire, Roadhog, Scarab, and so on, which are almost rarely ever used because there are much better (and much worse) options. And then there's [[TierInducedScrappy the Merc]]. It is massive, it has one of the worst turn ratios, it takes longer than most other cars to accelerate to full speed, both without boost and with boost, and up until the hitboxes were standardized, its boxy shape would make it unpredictable when the ball hit anything in any way that wasn't head-on. For these reasons, any time the Merc is used in a competitive setting, the person using it is almost always looking to humiliate their opponent.

''Rocket League'' is a [[WreakingHavok physics-based]] vehicle sports game developed and published by Psyonix. The game is best described as [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball soccer]] [[RecycledInSpace with cars]]. It's a sequel to ''Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars'', which describes your vehicles well as their capabilities of boosting and jumping.

The game flows as follows - two teams of up to four vehicles compete to knock a giant ball into the opposing goal. The arena is lined with quarter pipes and littered with boosts, so the vehicles can go in every which direction very quickly. It sounds simple, but like the real sport, there's a lot of strategy that can be employed.

employed. For instance, the arena is littered with pads that increase your boost (that regenerate a few seconds after consumption). Boost is a limited resource that increases your car's speed, and is essential for executing skillful aerial play, making its acquisition and management essential. The competitive and strategic nature of the game has led to it having [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming an active eSports scene]].

The game also includes variations of its standard soccer-based gameplay mode (called Soccar). Major examples include ''Snow Day'', in which the soccer ball is replaced with a puck with different physics, making the game loosely feel like UsefulNotes/IceHockey; ''Hoops'', in which the net's shape and the ball's physics are changed to resemble UsefulNotes/{{Basketball}}; ''Rumble'', which is a variant of Soccar in which players are randomly given {{PowerUp}}s; and ''Dropshot'', in which players must hit the ball into the floor to damage it, so that the ball can be dropped into the floor to score. Several other variations have been released as limited time events (some of which can be recreated in custom matches with the appropriate settings).



On May 1, 2019, Psyonix announced that the company was acquired by Creator/EpicGames, and September 2020 saw the game being delisted from Steam and made available for free on the Epic Games Store (Previous owners of the Steam version continue to get updates, however). On May 6, 2021 a new skin for the game based off of NASCAR was released.
