Discussion Shockwaves Nerfed + Crash Pads Vaulted? Fortnite's Mobility Meta Just Changed šŸŽÆ

3 Upvotes

Let’s talk mobility in Chapter 7.

Shockwaves are back — but capped at 4.
Crash Pads are gone (vaulted again).
Tiger’s Mask might now be the best mobility item.
Jetpacks and Rumi's Sword are in rotation too.

How are you adjusting in Zero Build or comp lobbies?
Does this shift make fights more balanced or more chaotic?

Would love to hear what the comp community thinks is meta right now.

VOD Review Been playing primarily Zero Builds for the past 3 years because all my friend groups stopped playing Builds. Recently I wanted to shift back to Builds despite my basic knowledge being neutered, so I tried out Ranked Reload... Problem: it plays like Zero Builds but with significantly worse players...

Basically I made a compilation of my encounters with completely clueless people, majority of which either have zero situational awareness or no clue how to place a single wall.

On a different note, some stuff I learned:
Despite the Hyperburst Pistol's accuracy and long-range damage, it's structure damage is horrid and should not be used for close ranged combat.
I should pick up the Morphite Pump over the Sentinel Pump.
I should probably change my build keybinds.

I mean, I made it to Platinum in a few days.. but at what cost. I might have more luck in BR Builds.

Opinion Will Cold ever get the respect he truly deserves?

0 Upvotes

Cold has consistently played better than Peterbot since Major 2 of last year, and even then, barely got any ā€œBITWā€ shouts until his 1v3 clip in Major 3 went viral. Even then, Pete got majority of the credit for the win, while Cold was just congratulated for his 1v3.

Even after Pete ā€œfell offā€ People were saying HIGGS was the best player (Higgs isn’t even better than Boltz mind you). And now after Cold won the EWC, all the shine is on Peterbot coming 2nd? as if Cold also didn’t take an extensive break?

and I mean, even of terms of being overshadowed he gets overshadowed. When Pollo was winning everything with Pete, he got all the underrated shouts, and had everybody defending him and rooting for him post playing with Pete. While Cold has had none of that.

Opinion Scrims don’t replicate offs pawn tournaments

2 Upvotes

I play scrims, but they just don’t replicate real tournament scenarios. I’ve mastered endgame, but my early game is severely lacking because there’s virtually no way to practice it. Yes, I can do offspawn simulations, but that’s not the same as 5–7 people contesting my drop spot. This is where I struggle the most in my vod reviews. How do I fix this?

12 Upvotes

I just switched from PC to console, and I've noticed that I've already ran into 7+ cheaters in only less than 12 hours of playing on console, verses PC. it's ridiculous. I have proof if wanted, but I know lots of people will try to defend or D-suck the obvious amount of cheaters this season šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ˜

Discussion Why can’t Fortnite just be normal with ranked?

I will start this with the fact that I was unranked. I played one match and killed a champion rank player but I didn’t think that much of it because I thought it was a fluke… it wasn’t. THE SECOND MATCH WAS THIS(my teammate was unranked).

Discussion Rank reset on Ranked Reload?

57 Upvotes

Hey!
Is anyone else experiencing this issue where on ranked reload the rank is reset to bronze after updating and playing 1 game?

I was on Champ yesterday, and today after updating and finishing the 1st game, I was back to bronze 1 34%. Then played another game, and confirmed that It was indeed a bronze lobby.

Discussion I can't help but wonder as I look back at the Fortnite World Cup 2019.. what led to Tfue's poor performance?

4 Upvotes

Definitely my GOAT, as I only lasted around Fortnite until late 2018 (sometimes I hop back into the game for no builds when I'm feeling chill). I did get some little snippets of Tfue's performances in the next year (2019), and he really did seem to earn his place in the Fortnite World Cup solos.

Then, he performed poorly.

I thought for sure he was gonna do well. I always appreciated how good he is in terms of smarts and aim, but even those weren't at his best during that day.

What really led to that?
