If this hasn’t remotely been your experience, how do you know rainbow flicking fixes it?

It doesn’t fix it, it’s how you avoid letting get that close to you.

The game is widely known to have multiple bugs affecting gameplay, from lags and desync issues, to crashes and even teams changing colour mid-match. In this case, and this is the second time I’ve seen it, the ball glitched into the ground after randomly bouncing around the pitch following a shot against the post befote finally getting stuck. It couldn’t be interacted with at all.

Well if this is a bug, you should probably make that clearer, because again, have not encountered a single bug.
