Actually tired of dealing with crappy controllers. Controllers cost too much, they're breaking, and there's no effort to make them better or durable. How is a kid who's trying to go pro in RL able to spend 100s of dollars to replace a controller with drift. We need options.

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.

Rocket league is harder to go pro. Rocket league is harder to start. Rocket league is harder overall. No bias. I’m the highest rank in both games. Anyone can earn camping & getting a few lucky kills spraying endgame. Unreal Rank - 5% of players SSL Rank - 0.03% of players Fortnite: - Cash cups - Victory cups - Divisional cups - Console cups - FNCS Rocket league: RLCS.

Clix explains why Fortnite is a harder Esports game than Counter Strike 👀 "a Battle Royale game with 100 players is obviously harder than a game in a "Box".. they dont know what storm surge is, storm sickness, rotates, pre-edits..."

Considering I haven’t uploaded in close to 2 years, I’d like to thank Jynxzi for his commitment to the game. Feels like I never left ❤️

I’ve been playing RL for over a decade and have been a pro for 7 of them. This is the first time where I don’t see a reason to continue for the split. With difficult classes, the bot problem, CRL, and the top heavy format of RLCS, it was hard to find a reason without a contending team/org. I still have the passion to play/compete and love the game but I will be taking off this split. I won’t call this a retirement tweet as it’s likely temporary but I’ll be pursuing content and school for the time being. Excited to run this split and see how well we can do. I’ll be posting YT videos more consistently with the extra time. TLDR; Still passionate but busy. Taking split off. Focusing on content instead. More YT vids inc. Thank you ❤️

Why was Rocket League Season 22 not delayed until the release of Easy Anti-Cheat? First 3 games have been against bots, what are we doing 🧐

Genuine question on a restaurant situation: You walk up to a counter to order. You find your own table and seat yourself. If you order coffee, they hand you a cup and you go fill it up yourself. If you order food, they hand you a buzzer and when it goes off, you go pick it up yourself. The iPad has a “20%, 25%, 30%, Other” tip option, with 20% already preselected. What’s your move?

Before the competition heats up in Season 22, we wanted to say thank you to our entire community for playing Rocket League and bringing the hype every day! You all helped drive us to over one million concurrent players for the last 7 weekends in a row 🙌 Your clips, watch parties, and passion (we see you, @jynxzi) are all part of what’s fueling this moment and bringing more players to the pitch than ever before. This is Rocket League! 💙🧡

You know what, I take it back...so far at least, I actually kinda like the new flip reset indicator. There just needs to be an option to turn off the sound it makes and keep the visual imo.

Wouldn't it be so cool if RLEsports gave the women's scene the title they deserve for the tournaments psyonix literally sponsored and hosted since it's international women's day and they are posting about it. (It's never gonna happen 💀)

Give Harbinger GXT a try if you got one. Apparently the model matches Octane hitbox better than Octane/Fennec. Idk if this is true but it feels pretty solid so far 👍

@JeremyBranham Everybody has Meyers batting last but Smith is faster and does WAY better when the other team has to pitch to him. Dude had an 897 ops batting 4th and 9th last year

Is it just me, or is it weird how we haven't seen a new map for season 22? It's not in the newest trailers. It's not listed anywhere, and all the footage we did see was on Sovereign Heights... Have we ever had a season with no new map before?
