So Riot Support just gave away my NA account to some random guy and I didn't even find out until today

I've been rank 1 in Fortnite (leaderboard and online earnings for a few months) and top 10 in Rocket League (solos leaderboard in 2015/2016), so I've played both at a high level. Rocket League mechanics are just way easier to grind. You can sit there for a few hours a day for a week and learn the mechanics you've been practicing. The skill expression is there, but the ceiling was hit a long time ago. If you compare 2018 vs 2026 clips, Fortnite looks completely different, RL looks mostly the same. That alone should tell you which game actually has the higher ceiling. Saying RL is harder to go pro is misleading too. It's only "harder" because it's a closed league. Any game with a league is gonna be harder to get into because of gatekeeping and nepotism, not because the game itself is harder. "Harder to start" also makes no sense. You can understand Rocket League in like 30 seconds. If we're talking mechanics, nobody is learning Fortnite mechanics faster than RL mechanics lol. Ranked doesn't even matter in this comparison. Yeah RL ranked is harder, but Fortnite ranked has basically never meant anything competitively. The actual competition is the open tournament circuit, which is way more competitive just off player count alone and no gatekeeping. And the camping/lucky kills thing is just wrong. You can't do that in actual comp because of surge. They're just completely different systems: RL = closed league, gatekept FN = open circuit, massive player base, constantly evolving If we're talking actual difficulty/ceiling, Fortnite is just harder. RL is only "harder" in the sense that it's harder to get into the pro scene.
