The Rocket League community united around the idea that forcing everyone to watch every single replay makes them more tilted, so that’s what they’re going to do. The toxicity of that community is off the charts, up there with the worst like League of Legends. The part that drives me nuts is that League of Legends has bad game design that is partially responsible for the toxicity; what is Rocket League’s excuse?
I never saw toxicity at the community scale before Rocket League. Before that it was always individual, even in games like Rust, EVE Online, World of Tanks… Rocket League is special somehow.
Its called gamesmanship. Its your choice to be irritated by goal replays. The only time toxicity is truly bad is if they stop playing to do it, otherwise game on. You can always turn chat off anyways.
Agreed. I was surprised at how bad it was, which was a bummer for two reasons. Firstly, it was a pretty enjoyable game at times especially with mates. Secondly, there were plenty of players that went out of their way to counter it and be decent but sadly they were the minority.

Damn, I only ever played Rocket League with IRL friends. Sucks to hear.

Clearly having the word “league” in the name generates toxicity.
Nah, but the game got so much worse after it went free to play. I’ll never forgive Epic.
