The verdict
Rocket League is a unique, easy-to-learn, hard-to-master car-soccer game with an endless skill ceiling. Skip it if toxic ranked lobbies, Epic's changes or rage bother you.
Great for
Competitive players who enjoy mastering mechanics, especially in a party with friends
Main risk
Toxic teammates, smurfs and constant rage make ranked play frustrating

Several recent reviews say the late-September update reset or broke keybinds (air roll, side-mouse buttons) and added input delay for Steam-configured controllers. Several reports, so fairly likely.
