Looks like Rocket League. If so then this would be a highly offensive thing to say. Most of the players in casual are about 10 years old ๐
The few times I played rocket league, I played casual, and got my ass handed to me.
Maybe theres a casual mode for casual players. I'm looking forward to losing to a 3 year old. Apperently those 10 year olds are way outta my skill range!
Oooooh, maybe we can find a player who's just learning their colors! Maybe thats more my speed.
Even in casual mode, you have a (hidden) rank which does go down the more you lose. If you keep getting demolished in the game then I'd recommend doing the training, playing against bots, and/or continuing to play in casual mode until your rank starts placing you with other players you can better contend with.
There's also a distinct possibility you were against someone smurfing as some people like to do that either for content or just for kicks and giggles. The very lowest ranks are probably where the most egregious smurfs like to keep their ranks, so unfortunately you can have some of the widest swings in actual skill levels.
Unfortunately the devs don't really seem to care much about the smurfing problem in the game because it's been pretty rampant for a very long time and some of the changes they've made have actually made it even easier to get away with.
The smurfing has gotten so bad...
Discussion about it on the subreddit was insufferable back in the day. All the fanboys would show up in every thread complaining about the problem saying stupid shit like "well Psyonix has the data to judge if it's working or not and since you don't that makes your argument invalid"
