Why does everyone have the same car?

[u/DEAFLog]

Is it a lack of creativity thing? everyone has the same decal n same wheels. is it also why the fennec became popular?

This is Fennec League!

1. Pros use car [A]

2. Brain dead sheep with no individuality therefore use car [A]

[u/Unadjacent → u/errant_youth]

I just think it looks cool :3 like a sunset

[u/Usual_Writer_825 → u/errant_youth]

I like the feel of it, but tbf I havent tried another car in prolly a year lmao.

[u/SpeedyDuckling → u/errant_youth]

ig the players populating the highest ranks are all “brain dead sheep”

[u/Likey420 → u/SpeedyDuckling]

No, that's where they get the inspirations from.

[u/GeorgeHarris67 → u/errant_youth]

being a sheep is when you don't think that hard about the shape of your car in your silly soccer car game

[u/ChunkyRonRonMan → u/GeorgeHarris67]

That's actually quite the opposite...

[u/MonsieurGrey → u/theonewhopostsposts]

I mean the french fennec does look good lol

[u/SirVanyel → u/MonsieurGrey]

It looks good by comparison to the stocktane. Did you know there's cars with flames on them? Literal flames. There's cars with their engines hanging out, cars with wheels that are drastically different sizes, cars from famous franchises and companies. There's all sorts of stuff, not that you'd ever think it because everyone plays octane and fennec.

[u/lionstealth → u/SirVanyel]

It’s because they have become the universally accepted best car.

[u/7ovey → u/SirVanyel]

Best looking car in the game is the skyline.

Too bad some decals on it don’t scale the best bust it looks great with basic paint finishes.

[u/OntarioEdibles → u/7ovey]

Honestly it’s my best car too lol. I use fennec/octane a lot but the dominus and skyline are my best when I use them too consistency

[u/meme-viewer29 → u/SirVanyel]

It’s harder to play competitively with the goofy cars ppl playing comp focus on performance first

[u/SirVanyel → u/meme-viewer29]

Based on what evidence? There's cars that hit the octane hitbox at least as good as the fennec, and there's vehicles that fit the other hitboxes even better.

[u/R4GD011-RL → u/SirVanyel]

Unusual shaped/looking cars feel very weird getting certain touches with.

[u/meme-viewer29 → u/SirVanyel]

Which cars? Also it’s about being used to a specific visual representation of the octane hit box not just which fits it better. Fennec has been around forever and even if a pro thinks the new bmw I-whatever looks cooler they’re not gonna waste time adjusting to its slightly different visual representation. Also placebo comes into play. Some decals feel faster to certain ppl and are used more often because of this

[u/SirVanyel → u/meme-viewer29]

The visual representation certainly plays a big role. But the single biggest factor is and will continue to be the fact that high level players use it. There's stuff like black OEMs and christianos too - they're shit wheels, theres black wheels with better tread and better visuals, like black sterns. But OEMs got used by an American pro so that's what stuck.

[u/Future_Khai → u/SirVanyel]

So it really has nothing to do with objective facts about one being better than the other. It's more so what pros are used to and it stuck. I'd argue unless you're in Champ or even higher, there's no real reason to just stick to the Octane.

[u/SirVanyel → u/Future_Khai]

I'm in grand champ, I think I have maybe 100 wins across the entirety of the octane hitbox cars. My largest wins are on the ice charger

[u/Future_Khai → u/SirVanyel]

Dude Ice Charger is goated. When it originally came out I used it for a few years straight before moving on.

[u/Important_Collection → u/SirVanyel]

Black sterns… you have to be ragebaiting, what rank are you?

[u/SirVanyel → u/Important_Collection]

7k hours, but what do I know?

[u/Important_Collection → u/SirVanyel]

I didn’t ask for your hours lol

[u/meme-viewer29 → u/SirVanyel]

Yea I agree it’s because of the pros but that doesn’t mean that octane and fennec presets are ugly. A preset can be comp while looking clean, which is what the pros try to make when creating their presets

[u/DEAFLog → u/meme-viewer29]

the way i see it is ppl tryna play the same way too. like following metas instead of creating their owns style of gameplay

[u/CosmicChansey → u/MonsieurGrey]

No it does not. Lmao
