[Flamma Avis]

I'm a Rank Diamond and eversince I'm using keyboard because I can't afford controller before. Should I learn to use controller for better gameplay?

im a c3 2s main with kbm. it really depends on whether you have good eye hand coordination with kbm. if not, switch.

Most people prefer controller, but considering there are high SSLs and some pros that use KBM it ultimately comes down to personal preference.

I think you can be a little more precise with keyboard and mouse. But I think that's more for the elite players. Try controller and see what you think. You may want to play around with the settings to get your preferred taste.

There's no correct answer to this. Everyone's different, use what's best for you.

Controller, KBM is definitely viable, but if you're looking to just be good at the game there's a reason why the top players/pros are all on controller.

That's because the game was developed with consoles in mind.

There are a lot of games where controllers are the default input method but KB+M is a superior way to play it.

Rocket League might be one of the few games were the controller is almost as good, if not equal or better than KB+M, but the KB+M approach is still viable.

tldr: The reason more people use controllers isn't because it's better. Rather, it's because the game was marketed with a controller in mind.

People can beat Dark Souls No Hit runs using bananas as controllers. The difference here matters all that much.

when semi pro player parka was asked what tips would you give to player who play on keyboard like you, he answered : just play controller

Any time I've watched the highest level RLCS tournaments, by a huge margin almost everyone used controllers. These are the best players and most of them don't even consider using KB + M in competition. There are a few players that do, but its a small enough number that the announcers point it out because it is so rare.

Here's an article about KB + M players and they were talking about how there was more of them than ever but it still only was 3 players out of 30 RLCS starters in Season 6 of RLCS:

The article said there wasn't a single KB + M player until season 3 and then only one. The players that did use KB + M when interviewed sait they did so because they didn't have a controller when they learned to play the game, so its not that they chose KB + M because they thought it was better its just that they used what they had available and it was inconvenient to relearn on a controller later so they kept using what they were already good at.

comp is the best of the best, any small advantage that players can get they will take, no one using mouse and keyboard, stop with the cap.

I am a GC on controller myself but I have friends who are just as good if not better than me on KBM.

Check out Evample on YT if you want to see peak KBM gameplay
