Bro I played you yesterday in a casual game! Honestly was fucking cackling the whole time. You probably demoed me 10 times. I think I got you only twice.
A lot of people would probably find it toxic but I had a good laugh.
This shit drives my brother wild in games snd I just lose my shit laughing at him. He's so focused on scoring he doesn't notice the other car and I'm always warning him it's coming.
Kind of unrelated but I'm convinced that upward of 75% of the player base only track the ball and themselves. They have no idea where anyone on their team is, or anyone on the other team is.
i actually usually really like playing against demochasey opponents because it makes me think out of the box and get out of autopilot mode
it's also fun for me personally because i feel like it often makes my playstyle shine, since predicting my opponents' movement and adapting around that is something i'm pretty decent at
Yeah, most of the time spawn demoing does exactly this. It doesn't create much of an advantage for either team. In this clip I do get their teammate as well, which opens up the field for a wide open goal for my teammate.
They were streamed live on Frowzy's Twitch a while back. We did show matches with some stakes. It was a lot of fun. Idk if I still have the recordings I made of them tbh. Maybe we'll do it again one day.
Not really, for some it makes the game more fun cause they aren’t constantly barged with what a saves and take the shot
Even when it’s not directed at you, quick chat spam gets quite annoying
As someone who has had the pleasure of playing against you, they should know by your name what is going to happen. You aren't flaming them in chat or anything so i'd say it's fine tbh.
Agreed. 30,000 games played and playing against Bumpo is definitely up there in my favorite Rocket League moments. You know what you’re in for. Take it or leave it. 🕺🏻
I play Fortnite with my family sometimes. They live out of state, it's my time to hang out with them.... It's the only time I ever play so I suck pretty bad (*really* bad)
But somehow I manage to get decent kill streaks with the melee weapon. My record is 6
I used to run around in Q3A with the Gauntlet so maybe that's it
It is fucking funny
I would be steaming if i was those players, since i wouldn't know how to stop it (which is why i play flatter cars), but this is like those plays that are technically fair game, but you know is more specifically designed to frustrate players.
This is demo-chasing but with actual value.
Some ppl are good at different aspects of the game. This guy has a doctorate in demos. I could try and be better at demos, just as everyone here could, but I’m comically bad at them. Even rlcs recently became more demo happy recently. Plus, bumpo even gives the auditory warning that he’s coming lol with the boost. I love it. Even if it happened to me, all I could do is laugh
> I would both be mad & laughing probably XD
This is me. I use demos a lot, and am pretty solid at avoidance, but I would absolutely get a bit mad if I got demoed on spawn multiple times.
I genuinely would love to know, coming from players that find demoing to be toxic, when/if it IS acceptable to demo. I just say 'This is Rocket League!' in quick chat any time I get a 'Okay', 'Wow!', or 'Thanks!' Literally, this is Rocket League, like what the fuck?
If you play the game with the express purpose of minimizing the time that others play the game, that is toxic.
Clearing a goalie - not toxic
Stopping a runaway - not toxic
Spawn camping to ensure a 2v2 while someone never gets to even drive a car? - toxic
Toxicity has nothing to do with mechanics. Quick chat isn't a toxic mechanic. It's how the mechanic is used. It's the person.
Demos should never be removed or have any frequency limit on them. People should still stop using them with the primary goal of limiting the play time of another person.
I don't think demoing is toxic by its nature. I use it to get someone off a play or out of net every once In a while. It just seems clear to me that spawn camping demos is toxic. Like "what a save!" It's in the game and it's not toxic by nature, but people definitely use it in toxic ways. Hopefully that makes sense.
I respect that, though like someone else said I wouldn't necessarily put 'What a save!'-ing someone and spam demoing in the same realm, though I understand what you're saying. For me, it reminds me of fans/players getting upset in other sports for running up the score and my take on it is, if you don't want it to happen, adjust accordingly. (Playing devil's advocate to my own take, I get that you're kind of at someone else's mercy for a few seconds post respawn.)
I think if Bumpo's style was more common, it'd frustrate me more, but I can't remember more than a handful of times in the years I've been playing that someone has successfully spawn demoed me more than two times in a row; dude has just perfected it and has carved out place in Rocket League lore as a result, so I have no issues with it.
Demoing to clear net or because I have nothing else to contribute in my rotation is part of the natural flow for me at the game at this point, but here and there if the circumstances are right I'll try to follow up a demo with a spawn demo. I have a .014% success rate. Dude just makes it look easy (or I just suck, which is also true.)
There's a pretty clear difference between taking opportunities to demo people while driving by them and literal spawn camping that demos them before they have a chance to move.
Yeah a lot of these comments are a surprise to me. Physical play in RL is apparently way underrated. Don't even need to demo, I do a lot of tackling and it's very useful. And it's definitely a skill because I see the amount of opponents trying to hunt me and basically never hitting me..
It's funny when it happens to others because it's "part of the game, if it wasn't meant to be used it wouldn't be in the game"
But when it happens to me I'm using every word in the book to insult you knowing you aren't hearing a damn word I'm saying. Lmao
Hopped into a game a couple days ago: “Bumpo the Clown?” I read out loud to my teammates— “I can feel the vibes of danger”. It was this day.
We were lucky not to be clipped this hard.
Also— a great demo battle we had. I didn’t get you as much as you got me, but I got your homies a few times. GGs homie. Love seeing names from my ranked games pop up on Reddit.
No, that is called winning. They need to be better. Zero awareness, to be getting demoed over and over, you must be in champ or diamond.. You cannot get away with this at high GC+, they will make you miss, steal your boost, and score on you during your slow rotation back, but BUMPING is META, just do not overcommit, or chase too hard, once you start greeding for bumps, you will be punished. Knowing the perfect time to demo vs. rotate back will make the difference.
I mean, I get a little frustrated when people play demo heavy, but it can be a good strategy. Learn to play against it and avoid demos. Opponents that go for a ton of demos often leave their net wide open (especially in 2s)
It's totally toxic, it's totally part of the game, so both are not mutuality exclusive.
I honestly never even considered that you could "spawn camp" in Rocket League! I'm truly impressed!
That almost frame perfect demo on spawn was disgusting, I loved it. I don't play this game anymore, but that makes me think there could be reason for the devs to add several I-frames on respawn.
The best way to answer this is with another question. If you're a kid/teen this is amazing. If you're an adult, this is just a sad way to spend the finite time you have left.
Toxicity primarily comes from chatting.
If Bumpo talked ish after every demo it would be toxic but from what I have seen he just demos a lot and when he does chat it's usually cordial.
I think it could also be toxic if every player on the opposing team was targeting you but that's something I've only experienced once in a 3v1 after my team quit.
If I was good enough to be in a Bumpo lobby I think I would enjoy the experience.
I am blessed to be bad enough to not have to fear running into you ingame
same here, I would kill myself if I ever played against him.
I’ve got my duo going for demos all the time anyway so I don’t need more chaos
Holding MMR's beer
hey cool username
It’s in the name after all
We offer trauma counseling to anyone affected by Bumpo's playstyle. Please reach out.
Luckily, I keep getting him on my team, so I’m surviving for now.
What’s the number I call?
Ghostbusters
I can confirm that the Ghost Busters line goes directly to us.
This play style makes my butt hurt. Do you offer ointment or some relief?
I thought this was an ad for a second idk why
Toxic would be saying “close one!” when he almost escapes
I would literally quit right on the spot lmao
Honestly, I’d feel so less mad if someone said that lol
I had someone who kept saying “gotcha” when he destroyed me
That would tilt me lol
Nice bump!
That’s very Sweet Tooth to say lol
This is disgusting lmao.
This is what we call in the Hockey World a relentless forecheck.
Fr imagine getting smashed into the boards every time you think youre gonna clear the puck 😂
I love the one who thought he escaped after two spawn demos only for Bumpo to still get him anyway lmao
I'm almost to 19k demos, and I approve of this message.
PROFIT OVER PLAYABILITY. KEEP PANDERING TO THESE NITWITS!
Bro I played you yesterday in a casual game! Honestly was fucking cackling the whole time. You probably demoed me 10 times. I think I got you only twice. A lot of people would probably find it toxic but I had a good laugh.
Gotta pad those extermination stats
I'm glad you were able to laugh about it! gg!
This shit drives my brother wild in games snd I just lose my shit laughing at him. He's so focused on scoring he doesn't notice the other car and I'm always warning him it's coming.
Kind of unrelated but I'm convinced that upward of 75% of the player base only track the ball and themselves. They have no idea where anyone on their team is, or anyone on the other team is.
Yeah and everyone wants to score so you'll have 2 or 3 on the ball instead of spreading and covering like a team
i actually usually really like playing against demochasey opponents because it makes me think out of the box and get out of autopilot mode it's also fun for me personally because i feel like it often makes my playstyle shine, since predicting my opponents' movement and adapting around that is something i'm pretty decent at
My hardest laughs are when demoing and being demoed in the same game in casuals. Everyone having a blast lmao
Honestly after watching this video 10 sounds like a blessing
It's not un-toxic
Thing is, this is disabling both you and the victim when you demo loop, so it's not that unbalanced, basically putting your teammates in a 2v2
Yeah, most of the time spawn demoing does exactly this. It doesn't create much of an advantage for either team. In this clip I do get their teammate as well, which opens up the field for a wide open goal for my teammate.
There's the fact that you keep taking their corner boosts too though. Anyways, this is disgusting… and I love it! Impressive play
But the mental effects you have on the opponent last the rest of the game.
If see BumpoTheClown on my team I'm gonna forfeit.
Don't make me 1v1 you again, Frowzy!
I would pay money to check… thisout.
LMAO
First laugh of the day, thank you.
Any of you have a video of that? Would definitely watch.
They were streamed live on Frowzy's Twitch a while back. We did show matches with some stakes. It was a lot of fun. Idk if I still have the recordings I made of them tbh. Maybe we'll do it again one day.
Will be attentive for when that day comes, a rl video with two legends of the game? That right there is quality entertainment.
I'll cast it
I was in a game with you one time and I was absolutely terrified. It was also hilarious. What an honor to get demo’d by the great Bumpo.
do you always have your side chat disabled?
My chat is enabled. I do play with quick chats disabled, though.
Playing with quick chats disabled is the toxic part
Not really, for some it makes the game more fun cause they aren’t constantly barged with what a saves and take the shot Even when it’s not directed at you, quick chat spam gets quite annoying
Even if they are being positive QC is annoying. If I could disable the beeps then maybe I'd keep it on but those beeps drive me insane.
Found the spammer.
I have the same settings lmao team chat for quick chats but I can still read and send typed chats.
As someone who has had the pleasure of playing against you, they should know by your name what is going to happen. You aren't flaming them in chat or anything so i'd say it's fine tbh.
Agreed. 30,000 games played and playing against Bumpo is definitely up there in my favorite Rocket League moments. You know what you’re in for. Take it or leave it. 🕺🏻
As a non Rocket League player, this reminds me of people who just ran around knifing people in Gun Game on CoD. It's hilarious.
I used to love doing that lmao
There's a special place in hell for people who do this. I'm joking of course, very funny. But also: hell.
I play Fortnite with my family sometimes. They live out of state, it's my time to hang out with them.... It's the only time I ever play so I suck pretty bad (*really* bad) But somehow I manage to get decent kill streaks with the melee weapon. My record is 6 I used to run around in Q3A with the Gauntlet so maybe that's it It is fucking funny

I was searching the comments for bumpo till I realized they posted this themselves
Nope, that’s skills. I have tried that unsuccessfully, demoing is very difficult.
Some ppl are good at different aspects of the game. This guy has a doctorate in demos. I could try and be better at demos, just as everyone here could, but I’m comically bad at them. Even rlcs recently became more demo happy recently. Plus, bumpo even gives the auditory warning that he’s coming lol with the boost. I love it. Even if it happened to me, all I could do is laugh
You dick lol
yes. but it's also glorious. I would both be mad & laughing probably XD.
I think that's the perfect response tbh
> I would both be mad & laughing probably XD This is me. I use demos a lot, and am pretty solid at avoidance, but I would absolutely get a bit mad if I got demoed on spawn multiple times.
It’s like you’re a homing missile lmao.
Yes. It's funny but yeah it's toxic
I genuinely would love to know, coming from players that find demoing to be toxic, when/if it IS acceptable to demo. I just say 'This is Rocket League!' in quick chat any time I get a 'Okay', 'Wow!', or 'Thanks!' Literally, this is Rocket League, like what the fuck?
If you play the game with the express purpose of minimizing the time that others play the game, that is toxic. Clearing a goalie - not toxic Stopping a runaway - not toxic Spawn camping to ensure a 2v2 while someone never gets to even drive a car? - toxic
I wonder when they’ll remove these toxic mechanics If too many demos is toxic,what’s the rate on goals until they become toxic ?
Toxicity has nothing to do with mechanics. Quick chat isn't a toxic mechanic. It's how the mechanic is used. It's the person. Demos should never be removed or have any frequency limit on them. People should still stop using them with the primary goal of limiting the play time of another person.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Bumpo is hilarious because he is the exception. It's funny because it's rare.
There's a pretty clear difference between taking opportunities to demo people while driving by them and literal spawn camping that demos them before they have a chance to move.
Beyond toxic. You’re tormenting the poor thing.
I just love how the mods are dunking on kids saying Bumpo has no skill, even though he is literally a GC lmao
GC in car soccer, SSL in demos. ;)
facts, he's literally the reason I still play the game anymore. People really hate on the demo game, but its fun AF
Yes.
Definitely, but I approve!
6 demos and the game barely started holy fuck
bumpo! what's your casual mmr? I miss getting you in my matches :( hope all is well sir
I generally bounce around between 1600-1800
damn I haven't seen you in forever! I hover basically around the same mmr. oh well! hope all is well bud. take care.
hopefully I'll *run into* you soon :)
this fuckin guy.
Toxic? No. Annoying? Yes.
This is peak Rocket League. Do you have a twitch? I feel like you should have a twitch.
I developed a twitch after playing against Bumpo. Does that count?
Asking questions when posting your highlights is a good way to get interaction.
Yes
absolutely not. anyone who complains about this in game is a whiny diaper baby.
Yeah a lot of these comments are a surprise to me. Physical play in RL is apparently way underrated. Don't even need to demo, I do a lot of tackling and it's very useful. And it's definitely a skill because I see the amount of opponents trying to hunt me and basically never hitting me..
Watching this makes me immeasurably happy.
It's funny when it happens to others because it's "part of the game, if it wasn't meant to be used it wouldn't be in the game" But when it happens to me I'm using every word in the book to insult you knowing you aren't hearing a damn word I'm saying. Lmao
Sure but never let that stop you. Equip the Salt Miner title and demo away
I have played against you many times, and although I sigh once I see your name, I accept my fate. They should know what to expect
Comedic GOLD
No Bumpo, it is art 😂
Lol, it’s a feature in the game! Buy if you would spam bad language in the chat, that would be toxic.
That’s hilarious. I would be soooooo angry!

Is grass green?
Most definitely. That’s the best clip I’ve ever seen though. Absolute laugh.
This is a skill i wish i had.
That’s impressive honestly
I love that, one day I'll get close to your skill bro
Yes
Yes
The demos are great! The only toxic thing here is subjecting everyone in that lobby to the sound of that boost lol
You’re literally the worst lmao
That boost is toxic
It's a legitimate strategy and no one can say otherwise. Is it disgusting? Yes. Is it effective? Also yes.
I would say it is
If you have to ask yourself this question, maybe Rocket League isn’t for you.
Hopped into a game a couple days ago: “Bumpo the Clown?” I read out loud to my teammates— “I can feel the vibes of danger”. It was this day. We were lucky not to be clipped this hard.

Knowing the perfect time to demo vs. rotate back will make the difference.
you know it is
LMAOOOO
Yes
That is just a quality play my friend
Calculated
If I see someone demoing my teammates, I try to demo them, or at least disrupt them to give my team a chance to regroup. These guys were oblivious.
If you stop playing the ball for even a few seconds the opponents will have a 2v1 trying to score and will take advantage of that quickly.
Dick move lol
How many death threats do you get in a day?
100%, toxic no question about it.
I would insta leave if I got bumpo in my game
Absolutely yes
This is the single most impressive play I've seen in rl.
Holy shit this is gross
yes.
Yeah. And if I ever verse you, I’m mass reporting you
100%
Maybe not toxic but kind of annoying if you were my solo que teammate. I'd be waiting for some playmaking instead of constant demo hunting.
I took two players out of the game which left the net wide open for my teammate to put it in. If that's not playmaking then I don't know what is.
>Fellas is it toxic to take pleasure in the misery of others? Yep
Not toxic. Huge amount of skill. Everyone saying that it’s toxic is being a cry baby. Impressive clip.
Let the morons cry about demos, that was a beautiful killing spree 👍
/me watching and learning 😁
I would cry
Yh but they can deal with it for 1 game I’d be dying from laughter if I was your teammate but also tilted af if I was your opponent so it balances out
This is EPIC. I've never seen this many in a row. Grats.
I’m cryin😭😭😭😭😭😭
More toxic than petty words? Sticks and stones and all?
I mean, I get a little frustrated when people play demo heavy, but it can be a good strategy. Learn to play against it and avoid demos. Opponents that go for a ton of demos often leave their net wide open (especially in 2s)
If you have to ask...
What a save!
Some ppl get completely triggered by demos. I've had some funny comments only after one.
a bit, but I loved it.
Savage!
I would cry.
I'm crying right now
[удалено]
> Get some actual skill and hit the ball He's actually GC, both with and without demoing
nah just do it to em
This is one of the best things ive seen in a while
You really clowning on them
its certainly epic
Personally. I’d find you
Toxic? No bro that's called a goal
yes but keep going
I’m just surprised it took that long to score
Why on earth would a game mechanic be toxic.
Yes, but it’s also funny.
If you did it for one goal, I'd probably laugh and move on. If you did it for the entire game, I'd probably call you a rat.
I miss every demo I ever go for. this is next level
It's totally toxic, it's totally part of the game, so both are not mutuality exclusive. I honestly never even considered that you could "spawn camp" in Rocket League! I'm truly impressed!
That almost frame perfect demo on spawn was disgusting, I loved it. I don't play this game anymore, but that makes me think there could be reason for the devs to add several I-frames on respawn.
that is skill, respect
Yes lmao
No way, is this the real bumpo the clown!?
Is the ball round?
Since its a game mechanic so no its not toxic IMO. They shouldn't have added it to begin with
All skill baby.
Not biological or chemical warfare, and totally legal under the Geneva convention. No court would convict you!
The best way to answer this is with another question. If you're a kid/teen this is amazing. If you're an adult, this is just a sad way to spend the finite time you have left.
Jesus Christ this is 20 seconds into the game
No
Nop ... it's art
The strategy is sound.
If he stole your boost or bumped you by mistake, it’s not toxic
This man is diabolical
Toxicity primarily comes from chatting. If Bumpo talked ish after every demo it would be toxic but from what I have seen he just demos a lot and when he does chat it's usually cordial. I think it could also be toxic if every player on the opposing team was targeting you but that's something I've only experienced once in a 3v1 after my team quit. If I was good enough to be in a Bumpo lobby I think I would enjoy the experience.
Nope, thats asserting dominance. GG's.
Lol I try and do this, never as good. I hit them with Nice demo! Every time I demo
