String launchers usually break alot. Rip cord launchers allow you to control how hard you launch. When you launch with a string launcher the actual string isn't as long as the anime shows, thus if you have a stamina type bey then it will stop which makes you accidentily move your launcher and make the bey move sideways. rip cord launchers have no limit of how much you can pull. if you know where im going with this then you already know I'm saying rip cord launchers are better XD

Phoenix-winder level rotations without the skipping , and the convenience of a string launcher

So Phoenix winder is as good as the new string launchers

the beylauncher LR could be consistently launched hard, but you had to take a little power off the initial pull to avoid skipping.

the new long beylauncher have more rotations, but can be launched as hard as you want without skipping.

Problem with the long launchers (if I'm thinking of the right thing at least) is that you gotta choose between L or R when you buy it.
Or of course buy them both ...

Do the launchers break

All launchers will break in time and/or wear down, as will everything made out of matter. The question here shouldn't be "do they break?", but "how long until they break?"

I know my L/R string launchers were fairly prone to it, with my first 2 only lasting a few launches before breaking an internal gear, although my third is still going strong. The L/R ripcord launchers I've gotten have also stood the test of time, with one showing clear signs of heavy wear due to a thick part that's been gouged out in the shape of the ripcord in the side, although that one is also starting to skip gears fairly frequently due to its age and general level of wear. I don't have the new launchers yet, but they've been ordered and are heading my way, so if this thread is still active I'll probably post a comment about them then.

I think it mostly depends on the usage as well.
Obviously there can always be some factory defects that might speed up the breaking time but I've had my LR launcher since end march and I've been using it almost daily.
So far it still works perfectly. Then again, I do take a lot of care of my stuff, that's why I'm a little sad that the beys itself get damaged so badly while blading.
Sometimes it creates nice battle scars but other times it looks really bad
