I'm 21 and I secretly want to be a fn pro but I know that if I go back to playing 6+ hours everyday, I wouldn't do well at work, id spend less time with my family, and my health would take a massive hit. It's just not worth it.
It's not worth it. Also Fortnite competitive is full of DMA cheaters. It's a shame, because zero build FNCS would captivate the world and overshadow og mode.
I got pretty good at Fortnite but I worked nightshifts and would get home n play then go to sleep or sometimes not lol but got to champions in arena all I did was smoke weed and drink beer and play fort and go to work lol
Maintaining a lead at 18+ when you are at the top, nothing left to prove and all that money to enjoy and other things to do, while talented teens in their thousands with nothing but time on their hands are drooling in front of their screens for 10 hours a day wishing they were the guy on top, completely hungry and consumed by the idea of being the best, that's a tough position to be in and no wonder these best players come and go so quickly.
I think the experience factor is still so important for so many of those games that being able to predict ends up more important than raw reaction time anyway
@k.a.8725 I wouldn't say it's less reaction time per say - there's absolutely players that use excellent reactions and anticipation to succeed, even if the combos and sequences they do are suboptimal. That said there isn't really anything in fighting games that does near instantaneous damage like shooters so being able to react as quickly isn't as important.
@@BigSources Oh it’s definitely reaction time all the way. For instance: in sf6, getting hit by DI will put you in a vulnerable state in the corner, and you have around 1 second to react and counter it, otherwise you are in trouble. There is also something called Whiff Punish, which is you reacting to your opponent pressing a button, find the right distance for his attack to slightly miss, and counter punish that missed attack for a massive combo damage. Muscle memory deals mostly with the continuation of the combos or trying to come up with the most damage combo at the moment, but not much about the neutral game.
It's because when you turn 18, you tend to prioritise different things, with Fortnite not typically being very high up on that list... There just isn't the time there was as a kid to spend hours a day on the game
As an older player that started back in ch1 s3 at 31 years old, I've never thought of going pro. I've just tried to to better each day and get more exposure to better players. I have seen my progress explode over the 6 years of playing, but I need to hone my game sense/edit speed. Great content as always @Reisshub
Bro im in my 40s and play,been playing since around the beginning of chapter 5 cause of my son..I just enjoy playing because it's a break from the world,good luck and I think it's awesome finding older people that play
Jivan is 26 is top 100 in NA. Most top 100 pros in their region, are above the age of 18 or 20, and not just fortnite but every game. I don't know where you, Reis, and Aussie antics get this idea that teenagers are peak performance it's kinda delusional. Cope maybe? To explain your lack of talent as a player. - 30 years old and top 500 in my region
I‘m so glad you added Health as one of the points, I feel like a lot of people don’t look at that when trying to be better at the game, personally I was at my peak when I was the happiest / stress free in my life and as stress and such increased my skill just got worse and worse, eventually I slowly climbed back and got stress sorted and stuff and am slowly getting better again, health is such an important factor for getting better and for how important it is it’s not talked about enough
I’m 42!! I’ll never stop trying to get better. I love this game and will probably be the last one on the battle bus! Love your content sir and watching comp. Never to old for gaming! 😂
Thank you so much, I've been working really hard the last months to go pro, I'm 30 training at least 4 hours everyday and this is really helpful besides inspiring me and giving me hope
I think most things described to genetics and age factors have minimal impact on performance, the main cause is the emotional stress that comes with growing up and society pressures which you described that take hours of training away. It's nice to see someone your age talking about this and it adds credibility. Also idk about fortnite but pro players don't make their money only from tournament winnings, in others games it's only a small portion when you're in a good org
The feedback I wanna give on this video is that if you are a young 18 year old kid aspiring to be a great Fortnite player , don’t stop just bc he said statically it won’t work . If the world ran on statistics then people like mj and lebron wouldn’t even exist ! Dream big
Hey Reisshub, been watching your videos because of how thought provoking and broad the topics you cover are. Your dedication to you craft is very commendable and I can tell that it has been paying off. Just curious what software you use to design, animate and render the graphs that you referenced in this video. Also how did you edit the numbers at 2:29?

@@dirtscootrfn bro I’m saying that he roasted OCE by saying that they don’t count cuz OCE isn’t a good region, I know he’s Scottish but it doesn’t change what I said
As someone who started 2 months ago with 100 pr currently at 18 years old, this was quite motivating. I feel as though my skill is slightly plateauing though it is more probably that it is simply a decreasing rate of improvement. Not age related :)
I can’t improve at all!! I’m turning 19 in a month and my prime was at 15 and ever since I was prioritizing at school or try to find a job I’ve haven’t been able to keep up with people 2-5 years younger than me.
One thing I wanna mention that may have an effect is called “hyper vigilance” it’s a thing your brain does as a response to trauma but I also suspect it has some effect on your look doing latency, like for me (yes I’m 17) I notice more stuff than my duo does in game partly because of that so that may also have an effect on your skill as you get older
The topic is far too complicated that it doesn't even make sense to publish a study on it because it has so much to do with how a person eats or whether the person does sports - these are things that have extreme effects on the reaction time and how quickly you Information is processed and we humans don't all live the same way, so you can only apply this to the majority of the general public who always live unhealthy lives or who only live healthy lives, but these statistics only show the unhealthy general population for the most part and if you look at athletes The prime time is often 30 and if you look at athletes there are enough athletes who are even faster at 30 than younger people who are under 20
this makes a lot of sense because if I know where someone is on the screen my reaction time is still fast but my LDL is extremely slow for new and chaotic situations.
When you're younger, your brain is more adaptable and absorbs information more easily due to neuroplasticity, which is most pronounced during childhood. I often think about Mongraal, who at 20 is still highly skilled but perhaps not at his peak anymore, possibly hitting a skill cap. Then there's Ninja, at 33, who has definitely reached a skill cap but can still transfer his abilities to other games effectively.
The amount of people who have such a huge misunderstanding of nueroplasticity is mind blowing. Your nueroplasticity is higher at a younger age due to there being a larger dose of novel information you have to intake. As you get older you are making less neural connections due to having already seen everything, not because you are declining.
@@DivinesLegacy this is true. if an adult was dropped into a foreign country with no knowledge of the language or the culture there, they would adapt and learn about as quickly as a younger person experiencing the world for the first time.
There are also other factors to your "look-doing latency". Usually 40 year olds are more stressed than 16 year olds, and that obvious has an impact, as well as how much sleep you get, and eating some fish might help too.
I just turned 18 and I started placing well when I turned 17 but just quit with about 1K pr a year later, let's just imagine this, when you start playing fortnite it's usually on a console which sucks to compete on, next you might get a slow pc at 15-16 yo and only when I turned 17 and got a job was I able to afford a pc with a 3070 to run the game well. Now I turn 18 and I'm studying engineering in uni working 2 jobs and have no spare time. I love the game and was ranked top 50 in my country for a while but it's just not worth persuing even though there is nothing I love more than playing fortnite I have 12000 hours played on the game and still love it but chose to quit because of my mental health. and also from age 13-17 man grow in length and are skinny and agile. I'm 18 6ft and 80kg and growing in width, It is so much harder for me to move my arms which are 3 times the size they used to be over my mouse pad than a 13 year old.
honestly if your to the point you are saying its harder for you to move your arms it sounds like you have never done anything physical in your life EVER. Hit the gym man, moving your arms should not be difficult.
I don't even like those types of videos (just the related to video-games ones) and this is the only channel that made me change my opinion lol, nice video!!!
I'm 32, what was really tough for me was keeping track of all of the trivial things like why a wall won't place where I am aiming etc. Early on the pre edits and excessive amount of keybinds caused me to take more time to learn than I was expecting. But I would say I'm a pretty good player, and it helps that I have higher level PVP experience in other older games.
a good thing to compare also is stuff like mma. where the "peak" of most fighters is 33 years old EVEN THOUGH they are often physically slower compared to some of the young fighters. They are still better because of "skill development" wich is worth the trade off with physicality until about the ahe of 33
I think a good real life comparison to this would be combat sports, and fighters seem to tend to hit their primes from ages 27-33. But also you will see very high ranked fighters as young as 18-20 or as old as 40-41
the thing is tho. fast paced online gaming is relatively new. the current 30-60 year olds making up the data on the graph never experienced playing online games like we do today. We don't have the data on people who grew up with gaming vs people who didn't because games like fortnite (and other fast paced games that train reaction and look time) are not old enough yet. maybe in another 10-20 years we can have a look at this topic, but for now the data you referenced is not accurate because there are other variables not discussed or taken into consideration. like obviously an 18 year old that has grown up knowing nothing but technology and games and has been on screens since they were a child, is going to be faster and better at it than a 40 year old who never grew up with them, and never really played games as a child.
I'm 26 and haven't noticed my reaction time decrease at all with age, I am as good if not better then I was as a child. This whole consensus that your gaming prime ends as soon as you stop being a teenager is proposterous
As a 20 year old Ultrakill fan that plays it regularly, I find no issue with the first few things you brought up, like knowing how to read an extremely chaotic situation. What I DO have a problem with, is learning how the fuck this game works and how people play the way they do, and without a proper way to learn and not much time in my day to practice or learn at my own speed, it's damn well near impossible and now my lobbies have gotten to the point of being extremely unfun to play in, the enjoyment is burning away as I start getting matched with players that know what they're doing and are extremely fucking sweaty. If I could learn Fortnite like I did Ultrakill in 750 something hours of playing Ultrakill now, I'd be just fine, if not better than a majority of players, I feel I have the capacity to learn and get good at this game quite easily, the only problem is I'd like to have a life outside this god awful experience of fighting sweats, and that doesn't pair well with Fortnite. I'm not about to dump tons of hours a day into it, and I especially won't if I have to keep trying to learn by playing against extremely sweaty lobbies. I got as good at Ultrakill as I did because it's a simpler control scheme with less going on compared to Fortnite's building, and because of Cybergrind being so damn addicting and easy to boot right into no hassle involved, just straight to the action that scratches my adhd just right, it was the PERFECT environment to learn and improve, and Fortnite just does NOT have that at all.
I really wish there were leagues for competitive Fortnite that were made for older players. Just like there are for tennis or golf or whatever. Seems like a great marketing opportunity that is currently untapped. Your video supports the justification for this idea.
@@kingemeraldbonesok8270 not about watching. Purely in love of the game. Nobody watches local league tennis but millions play it. It’s not pro. That’s not the point.
to put it plain and simple, it’s called growing up and having responsibilities. I haven’t been able to play the game in years since i graduated due to having to cover life expenses
@@576kg8 My point is that he probably has more tolerance to spend a lot of time on social media or browsing the internet than playing games. It shows that his brain is more attracted to the "freedom" and "complexity" of social media and internet than the fun and energy that games want to provide.
@cheerful_crop_circle you can if you dont dedicate yourself to classes that much. In college, though, you are paying to be there, and what you learn is more directly applicable to your career
W Video but I definitely want too say thiss: As someone that is 21 years old (turning 22 on July 16th) who wants too win an FNCS (on NAC). I feel like I’ve became wayyy better than how I was when I first started. When I was 15-18, I wasn’t able too compete in the high competitive seen as I couldn’t & had no interest in it. But when I became 19 or 20, I wanted too compete against the best of the people in Fortnite (still want too now) I feel like I’m improving more, I feel like I’m improving my awareness & other mechs. I as a player does have some PR but doesn’t have any earned yet, When you talked about players that are like that & they should consider that the game isn’t cut out for them, it kind of made me sad a little? Maybe like “sadly he’s probably right” but for some reason, I just simply can not quit or put my interest into another game too grind all day. I am 21 years old that doesn’t really have much priorities apart from spending time with family & going out on weekends too stores & such. I have also starting eating wayyy more healthier, exercising wayyy more before getting on Fortnite (& my body looks wayy better, just sayingg) & trying too have a stable sleep schedule which I feel like is working, just earlier, I played builds without warming up first & still dominated. I honestly simply refuse too give up, I feel like I’m playing endgames a whole lot better & just know that I could earn a lot in Fortnite even if the games’ been out for over 6 years (coming up too 7 now). I created a practice routine as well & so far it’s been good, I figured out what I need too work on the most which is mainly having an idea on planning the next players move. I want too make it too LAN (even if I am the oldest player competing there). I know I can’t give up because I feel like it’ll be hard work for nothing & too be honest, apart from recording Item Shops which I love doing, Fortnite is one of the only few games I love playing that I could grind & show that my skills are paying off. I was blessed/given a beautiful setup (saved up & payed for a few of the stuff) & I feel like this was for a reason, life sees that I want too become one of the best players in Fortnite & I know I can at LEAST win a couple of tournaments & an FNCS or 2. I know this is long but I just want people too understand on matter what age you are & want too go pro, you can still do it.
Just a tip: add your second channel and other socials to your bio. They might not often do something but I just tried to look for your second channel through the bio
I don't know if this is a common experience, but I don't play Fortnite, I don't watch Fortnite videos or esports outside of this youtube channel, I have no connection to the game at all, and yet Reisshub's videos are so well made and so engaging that I still enjoy them despite that. I will note that I do watch esports in general, especially Valorant, so maybe I can blame this on Benjyfishy somehow.
'Look doing latency' isn't the only age factor, learning & adapting in general becomes harder with age. This is especially relevant as Fortnite is a continually changing game. I'm 30, I'm decent at the game & a fairly good learner, mentally I understand all the changes & have a rough idea how to play around them very quickly. Physically performing with those changes however proves a challenge to adapt to, I'd often play with a lad half my age- very similar in skill to me but significantly better mechanically even after barely playing for over a year. Comes back to the game, we do some 1v1 speed realistics, he has no idea what these new items are, but within mere minutes is already using them better than I have with a full week of exposure. I play with a few other blokes my own age & they're still adapting to the new items/changes.
im better mechanically than ever before and im 26. I do have a Job and responsibilities but i find when im balanced between work, friends, outdoors, and gaming i find the most improvement
Most people that retire do it because of changing life goals. Not everyone wants to be a pro, can’t play as much anymore, and some became one purely by accident and just used that to make money for their true careers and aspirations.
I asked someone this same question and the say, " oh that simple, its because their just starting out, and don't have the required skills yet." 😂😂😂😂😅😅😢 ugh! My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard. I couldn't look him in the eyes again 😮. Wow!
Look-doing latency can be slowed with experience in game. When you play enough eventually certain situations will become automatic. Kind of like muscle memory. Not to say this would be a complete fix or way to stop it though
because most people grow up when they turn 18 and they change their point of interest away from Fortnite as it has been their center from the ages of 14-18.....that simple really
I’ve been playing for 6 years since I was 8, I’m 15 now and have noticed I’ve gotten worse than I was on Fortnite. I’d say I was really good by the time I was 11-12. Back then I could easily triple edit etc but nowadays I can barely even edit properly, my building aswell is different but I’d say I’ve gotten better with my builds. I don’t play Fortnite as much as I used to anymore and don’t really care if I can’t make it pro. I don’t want to constantly spend hours on Fortnite as I did back then and actually want to move on
At 26 years, I got 200% better in Fortnite in one week than when I tried in my 18’s for the same amount of time. With time and age, you learn how to really learn anything efficiently, enjoying a system and a process. Do not underestimate the hidden power of aging.
I've always referred to reaction time as meaning more "look-doing latency". I know that that latency has significantly increased by watching my old videos of playing MW3.... I would constantly check how many kills I got (how far I'm away from a MOAB), but the scoreboard is only up for a few frames... Lol literally can no longer read it in that timeframe.
I'm 21 and I secretly want to be a fn pro but I know that if I go back to playing 6+ hours everyday, I wouldn't do well at work, id spend less time with my family, and my health would take a massive hit. It's just not worth it.

I love the game and was ranked top 50 in my country for a while but it's just not worth persuing even though there is nothing I love more than playing fortnite I have 12000 hours played on the game and still love it but chose to quit because of my mental health. and also from age 13-17 man grow in length and are skinny and agile. I'm 18 6ft and 80kg and growing in width, It is so much harder for me to move my arms which are 3 times the size they used to be over my mouse pad than a 13 year old.
I don’t think arm size has anything to do with it because you can always adjust for comfort but yea probably time would be the factor
honestly if your to the point you are saying its harder for you to move your arms it sounds like you have never done anything physical in your life EVER. Hit the gym man, moving your arms should not be difficult.
Yeah being good at a game at this level you need to be able to do some exercise, eat good, etc. just take care of yourself and you will see results
Im 18 years old and I have constant free time
reisshub with a banger
I didn’t even watch😂
Like always
Facts
no he just yaps too much
@@natanftblu definitely sped
I don't even like those types of videos (just the related to video-games ones) and this is the only channel that made me change my opinion lol, nice video!!!
babe wake up!!! new reisshub gym gameplay just dropped
I'm 32, what was really tough for me was keeping track of all of the trivial things like why a wall won't place where I am aiming etc. Early on the pre edits and excessive amount of keybinds caused me to take more time to learn than I was expecting. But I would say I'm a pretty good player, and it helps that I have higher level PVP experience in other older games.
a good thing to compare also is stuff like mma. where the "peak" of most fighters is 33 years old EVEN THOUGH they are often physically slower compared to some of the young fighters. They are still better because of "skill development" wich is worth the trade off with physicality until about the ahe of 33
Love the video as always riess
0:25 the one 57 yo with the best reaction time: 🗿
I have professional caliber look-do latency and I am 37. The problem is that is takes me 2 seconds to remember which button does what…
TLDR: When you turn 18 you touch grass
I think a good real life comparison to this would be combat sports, and fighters seem to tend to hit their primes from ages 27-33. But also you will see very high ranked fighters as young as 18-20 or as old as 40-41
Good video
the thing is tho. fast paced online gaming is relatively new. the current 30-60 year olds making up the data on the graph never experienced playing online games like we do today. We don't have the data on people who grew up with gaming vs people who didn't because games like fortnite (and other fast paced games that train reaction and look time) are not old enough yet.
maybe in another 10-20 years we can have a look at this topic, but for now the data you referenced is not accurate because there are other variables not discussed or taken into consideration. like obviously an 18 year old that has grown up knowing nothing but technology and games and has been on screens since they were a child, is going to be faster and better at it than a 40 year old who never grew up with them, and never really played games as a child.
I'm 26 and haven't noticed my reaction time decrease at all with age, I am as good if not better then I was as a child. This whole consensus that your gaming prime ends as soon as you stop being a teenager is proposterous
Imma bout to be 18 and I think my reaction time is getting better and better!
You mean your reflexes?
0:03 "And i took that personally"
As a 20 year old Ultrakill fan that plays it regularly, I find no issue with the first few things you brought up, like knowing how to read an extremely chaotic situation. What I DO have a problem with, is learning how the fuck this game works and how people play the way they do, and without a proper way to learn and not much time in my day to practice or learn at my own speed, it's damn well near impossible and now my lobbies have gotten to the point of being extremely unfun to play in, the enjoyment is burning away as I start getting matched with players that know what they're doing and are extremely fucking sweaty. If I could learn Fortnite like I did Ultrakill in 750 something hours of playing Ultrakill now, I'd be just fine, if not better than a majority of players, I feel I have the capacity to learn and get good at this game quite easily, the only problem is I'd like to have a life outside this god awful experience of fighting sweats, and that doesn't pair well with Fortnite. I'm not about to dump tons of hours a day into it, and I especially won't if I have to keep trying to learn by playing against extremely sweaty lobbies. I got as good at Ultrakill as I did because it's a simpler control scheme with less going on compared to Fortnite's building, and because of Cybergrind being so damn addicting and easy to boot right into no hassle involved, just straight to the action that scratches my adhd just right, it was the PERFECT environment to learn and improve, and Fortnite just does NOT have that at all.
I really wish there were leagues for competitive Fortnite that were made for older players. Just like there are for tennis or golf or whatever. Seems like a great marketing opportunity that is currently untapped. Your video supports the justification for this idea.
Would be a snooze fest to watch
@@kingemeraldbonesok8270 not about watching. Purely in love of the game. Nobody watches local league tennis but millions play it. It’s not pro. That’s not the point.
My man you are a very intelligent individual. Even if this is fortnite and a video game. The facts you present carry in every aspect of life.
to put it plain and simple, it’s called growing up and having responsibilities. I haven’t been able to play the game in years since i graduated due to having to cover life expenses
Thats just ur own life
Everyone has time its just a matter of priority
You have a time to comment on this video , then you also have a time to play Fortnite. Perhaps you are just lazy or tired/exhausted/jaded?
@@cheerful_crop_circleit takes less than a minute to make a youtube comment what is that terrible comparison ☠️
@@576kg8 My point is that he probably has more tolerance to spend a lot of time on social media or browsing the internet than playing games. It shows that his brain is more attracted to the "freedom" and "complexity" of social media and internet than the fun and energy that games want to provide.
When reisshub uploads you know it’s a w day
short answer is that after high school you cant play video games all day lol
Even during high school, you cant either.
@cheerful_crop_circle you can if you dont dedicate yourself to classes that much. In college, though, you are paying to be there, and what you learn is more directly applicable to your career
Your videos are absolutely amazing and informative for a parent for Fortnite kids. Thank you bro.
You have such a wholesome community
W Video but I definitely want too say thiss: As someone that is 21 years old (turning 22 on July 16th) who wants too win an FNCS (on NAC). I feel like I’ve became wayyy better than how I was when I first started. When I was 15-18, I wasn’t able too compete in the high competitive seen as I couldn’t & had no interest in it. But when I became 19 or 20, I wanted too compete against the best of the people in Fortnite (still want too now) I feel like I’m improving more, I feel like I’m improving my awareness & other mechs. I as a player does have some PR but doesn’t have any earned yet, When you talked about players that are like that & they should consider that the game isn’t cut out for them, it kind of made me sad a little? Maybe like “sadly he’s probably right” but for some reason, I just simply can not quit or put my interest into another game too grind all day.
I am 21 years old that doesn’t really have much priorities apart from spending time with family & going out on weekends too stores & such. I have also starting eating wayyy more healthier, exercising wayyy more before getting on Fortnite (& my body looks wayy better, just sayingg) & trying too have a stable sleep schedule which I feel like is working, just earlier, I played builds without warming up first & still dominated. I honestly simply refuse too give up, I feel like I’m playing endgames a whole lot better & just know that I could earn a lot in Fortnite even if the games’ been out for over 6 years (coming up too 7 now). I created a practice routine as well & so far it’s been good, I figured out what I need too work on the most which is mainly having an idea on planning the next players move. I want too make it too LAN (even if I am the oldest player competing there). I know I can’t give up because I feel like it’ll be hard work for nothing & too be honest, apart from recording Item Shops which I love doing, Fortnite is one of the only few games I love playing that I could grind & show that my skills are paying off.
I was blessed/given a beautiful setup (saved up & payed for a few of the stuff) & I feel like this was for a reason, life sees that I want too become one of the best players in Fortnite & I know I can at LEAST win a couple of tournaments & an FNCS or 2. I know this is long but I just want people too understand on matter what age you are & want too go pro, you can still do it.
Video production and editing is amazing
This is really well edited, very cool >_

crazy how this is the only TH-cam channel that actually makes informative fortnite videos
goated video
Hey
Yo is talls ur duo

6:42 @ Bully’s tweet, I was like awww thats sweet. Then i realized the joke potential for “life came really fast” 😏
Just a tip: add your second channel and other socials to your bio. They might not often do something but I just tried to look for your second channel through the bio
I agree 100%
I don't know if this is a common experience, but I don't play Fortnite, I don't watch Fortnite videos or esports outside of this youtube channel, I have no connection to the game at all, and yet Reisshub's videos are so well made and so engaging that I still enjoy them despite that.
I will note that I do watch esports in general, especially Valorant, so maybe I can blame this on Benjyfishy somehow.
This guy decided to make content on Fortnite when his observations and studying are on another level
This is the best video he’s ever done. Well done.
interesting af and I'm not even playing fortnite. thank you for putting the video together!
5:51 I remember seeing this live. Morgausse really got his $250,000 in one tournament and DIPPED
Loved the editing in this
Ive been wanting a vid like this for sooooo long
Reisshub thank you for inspiring me to start making videos! You always make me smile whenever I watch them so thank you ❤❤❤
well this is comforting.
2:00 MASSIVE??
Me at 24: 😳
'Look doing latency' isn't the only age factor, learning & adapting in general becomes harder with age.
This is especially relevant as Fortnite is a continually changing game.
I'm 30, I'm decent at the game & a fairly good learner, mentally I understand all the changes & have a rough idea how to play around them very quickly.
Physically performing with those changes however proves a challenge to adapt to, I'd often play with a lad half my age- very similar in skill to me but significantly better mechanically even after barely playing for over a year. Comes back to the game, we do some 1v1 speed realistics, he has no idea what these new items are, but within mere minutes is already using them better than I have with a full week of exposure.
I play with a few other blokes my own age & they're still adapting to the new items/changes.
Love the content, keep it up!
it would always piss me off when people say "reaction time" when i aska bout what happens with age and skill
im better mechanically than ever before and im 26. I do have a Job and responsibilities but i find when im balanced between work, friends, outdoors, and gaming i find the most improvement
All the 18 year olds watching this rn 🫢
I'm 21 watching this honestly I don't play much anymore since chapter 5 s1 games has become boring and this season sucks
@@unknowncomrade5023agreed. Even if they turn it around this season and next season, this has been the weakest fortnite chapter to date imo
@@unknowncomrade5023 even now?
Most people that retire do it because of changing life goals. Not everyone wants to be a pro, can’t play as much anymore, and some became one purely by accident and just used that to make money for their true careers and aspirations.
I asked someone this same question and the say, " oh that simple, its because their just starting out, and don't have the required skills yet." 😂😂😂😂😅😅😢 ugh! My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard. I couldn't look him in the eyes again 😮. Wow!
Look-doing latency can be slowed with experience in game. When you play enough eventually certain situations will become automatic. Kind of like muscle memory. Not to say this would be a complete fix or way to stop it though
Yes, we need age groups in the tournaments and in the ranked league. I'm 48 and can just about keep up. My experience still gives me the opportunity.
Great editing on here 🔥
because most people grow up when they turn 18 and they change their point of interest away from Fortnite as it has been their center from the ages of 14-18.....that simple really
😂😂😂
man i love your videos. no fat, full of insight and funny.
what a informative video. keep making what is best for u
3:02 if you were a fortnite pro you’re already failing your bloodline
Edit: lmao I love that people get actually pissed off at this comment
A 16 year old teen bringing 800K to their third world country family is anything BUT fail your bloodline.
How
16 year old kid bringing 800k to the house is anything BUT failing your bloodline.
making hundreds of thousands of dollars as a literal child isnt failing thats the definition of winning
@@roguewrld5878bro the og comment is on sum stuff tf
Reisshub workout clips go crazyy 😮💨
Reisshub out here with his magnifying glass making sure there is still hope
I learned more from this then I did from school
I’ve been playing for 6 years since I was 8, I’m 15 now and have noticed I’ve gotten worse than I was on Fortnite. I’d say I was really good by the time I was 11-12. Back then I could easily triple edit etc but nowadays I can barely even edit properly, my building aswell is different but I’d say I’ve gotten better with my builds. I don’t play Fortnite as much as I used to anymore and don’t really care if I can’t make it pro. I don’t want to constantly spend hours on Fortnite as I did back then and actually want to move on
At 26 years, I got 200% better in Fortnite in one week than when I tried in my 18’s for the same amount of time.
With time and age, you learn how to really learn anything efficiently, enjoying a system and a process.
Do not underestimate the hidden power of aging.
Reisshub thanks for frying my brain for 8 mins straight :D too much math. too much numbers. too much stats
most of us js lose interest ngl we also have more responsibility now
Marks a legend on the internet
amazing video as always ate breakfast to this👍
I've always referred to reaction time as meaning more "look-doing latency". I know that that latency has significantly increased by watching my old videos of playing MW3.... I would constantly check how many kills I got (how far I'm away from a MOAB), but the scoreboard is only up for a few frames... Lol literally can no longer read it in that timeframe.
Frametime and framerate
Bugha really the only old head placing well
IT ONCE TOOK ME A YEAR TO REACT TO SOMEONE PEEKING ME ON VALORANT.
Cool vid!!! Where did you find all this information? Id like to look into this, thanks
