Well, I watched the episode in FULL and....I don't really disagree with you guys at all...LOL! 🤣
The only thing I could add is this about the dashes topic (starting at 16:25) is this:
The fact you can share the medallion to teammates so they can also recharge their 3 dashes charges is wild to me, especially in comp! I've seen a couple of comp/pro streams where all the team had 3 dashes and these were so clutch in the endgame rotations...If they don't change this, we will definitely see the medallion teammates have a significant advantage in the upcoming FNCS...
People who cheat in money events need to be criminally charged if possible and sued if not. There needs to be a real incentive to not cheat. They are messing with peoples livelihoods who spend 40+ hours a week on their jobs playing a game professionally.
I play non ranked duos and there's at least 10 aim botters per match , usually suicide aim botters with new accounts
"It's Only Cheating If You Get Caught" - Al Bundy
Well from a quick google, in Ohio.
Cheaters never prosper in Ohio. At least, that’s what section 2915.05 of Ohio’s criminal gambling law is meant to prevent. UNDER THE LAW, IT IS ILLEGAL TO CHEAT, DEFRAUD, FACILITATE A FRAUD OR CORRUPT THE OUTCOME OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: The subject of a bet; A contest of knowledge, skill or endurance that is not an athletic or sporting event; A scheme or game of chance; and Bingo. The law also says it is illegal to throw (deliberately corrupt or lose) an athletic or sporting event. The law is general enough to apply to every competition and every sport, from Little League baseball to professional football. Do you think those dance scores look a little sus? Did you record a parent feeding answers to a spelling bee contestant? This law has you covered. The most noteworthy recent example happened at a fishing tournament at Cleveland’s Gordon Park last year.
Generally good promoters will cover their arse with at least general terms like "Their decision is at their discretion and is final and no correspondence will be entered into." I've noticed Epic's T&C's have evolved overtime to explicitly cover various forms of "cheating". IMO first of all the promoter should have decent T&C's to cater towards unfair practices that undermine their competition. It helps avoid any potiential headaches for all partys i.e. promoter and participants. Even Shinobi's basic tournaments could do with a minimal T&C's to help ensure things run relatively smoothly. For penalties, unlikely most promoters will waste resources persuing legal cases, most will ignore the cheating allegations some might take action. I've witnessed some real bad handling of general online competions with obvious cheating. Epic, well they have the resources and have gone after various creators of aimbot creators with lawsuits. Ps Comes from previously doing tens of thousands of general competitions and reading T&C's and contacts that would invesigate potiential cheating. Argh it can get "catty" behind the scenes for general online competitions, especially if inadequate T&C's. Oh and doesn't matter what the prize is people will attempt to cheat.
@@adamchirico7724 Not denying the cheaters, but 10 per match. Come on!
@@jimhall1131 you trying to say there's less?!? I think more, they are just to t@rd3d to get better and aren't smart players
Right now Loot Island is just a place for snipers to camp use gravity to their advantage when it comes to bullet drop.
The idea of adding more mod benches, decreasing sprint recharge time, and adding dash recharge time shouldn’t be a topic of conversation, it should already be in the game.
Fax 💪💪
The more I play ranked the more I realize the less you fight the better. It’s just not fun.
But hasn't this been the case since forever since it is BR? Early days before there was any matchmaking it was different for better players as they were essentially pub stomping potatoes, but those days are long gone. And even in those days a less good player could progress further by not fighting. As soon as there is any whiff of matchmaking there need to be heavy drivers to fight. In other games these are objectives, in BR the objective is gear. The weapon lockers being required (as stipulated by the video) force this to a degree, but it isn't an elegant setup and bunker fights are not very good.
Loot island is dumb as it makes things even worse by giving the players that arrive first a huge positional advantage.
Stormsurge is dumb as well, as it is a tacked on mechanic that feels extremely forced (and doesn't force you to actually kill the opponents anyway, just damage them).
@joel6376 epic wants slow playing strategies, if they didn't they would speed up the rings closing in, increase the dps of the Storm so that you can't play in the storm, make the onset of storm sickness quicker (again so you can't play in the storm) and not spread good loot everywhere across the map because then you are risking a lot for very little when you can get a good load out safely anyway
@joel6376 at the same time it sounds like a lot of people actually want a massive free for all game not a battle Royale, battle Royale just makes their free for all possible but that isn't the game type
@@iBlueClovr now that I think about it more , it’s probably good that ranked is a more slow pace methodical game mode. Sometimes I’m in the mood for fast pace free for all sometimes I want slow pace end game. It’s good to have different options
If I could take one thing out of the game it would be the loot island. It gets annoying dealing with island campers. The mythic weapons and medallions are a little annoying too because then only the best players drop right in and get them and usually hold onto them till the end where they get a huge advantage over the players that made it to the last few players by using chest looted weapons.
Just something cool I saw yesterday is that you can throw a shield on a vehicle. It moves with you 😮Great for when people keep targeting your car or bike
Need to add weapon benches in the abandoned vaults. Even if it means adding a mini boss or hiding a keycard somewhere within the POI.
Yup. All poi are useless now.
I don't want to be attacked for this bc I hate how the randomness of the game gives people unfair advantages, but the rain falls on the guilty and just all the same. I get lucky with loot more often than I do screwed. Everyone knows that epics goal is to make people play as long as possible. If you never catch a break you will eventually give up. This is the design not an error on their part. Be like Jake and be thankful when you are fortunate, accept when you are unlucky and just try to put yourself in the best situation to remove RNG.
I think the gripes on EMP are a bit of cope. It sucks to get drilled with a headshot, but carrying EMPs takes up a whole item slot. Toby goes on to discuss expressing yourself with strats and mechanics. It is up to you to counter an opponent. Having a vehicle in endgame can be on par with an NPC. I agree it feels cheap hiding in a bush and disabling a vehicle/wiping opponents shields, though it comes back to countering. 30:15 you guys land on that.
This is a fun discussion. :)
I agree. Just because it isn't your style of play doesn't mean it's a bad way to play. If I get to a late game with poor loot, and some some player with multiple medallions is just cruising around in a car, EMP grenades are the biggest counter to that play style
They need to leave bullet drop alone so people can get used to ranging. Adjust on damage only.
The EMPs knocking out the shield bubbles is simply....CALLED BALANCING.
Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
@@geraldwhite2676 you're right. I wasn't. I don't think EMP breaking shields is a bad thing. And I'm pretty sure if the shields didn't have a counter-item, they'd complain saying the shields are overpowered. I'm actually a casual player (dad) and use neither.
We were wiped out in last two cricles by an 8 man squad with medallions two days ago. Absolute chaos by sheer numbers and trying to figure out who was real and who were NPs. We were furious. The fix, either 1 NP per squad or the NPs die or walk off the job by the end of storm circle 8.
Or make sure your squad hires an npc
@@gregg.643 4 NPs to one. Yup, that balances the odds.
When I first started playing (C4S2) I was very surprised that your hired NPC stayed until the very end of the game. I assumed they would de-spawn at final 10 or at least final 3 but no.
I think Epic should lock control towers with the tower keycard, and have a bench in there.
well said about bushcampdad. No rat strat should be promoted in competitive gaming.
Singles with hired NPCs are not singles, doesn’t matter ranked or pubs. Ranked should work both ways promotion and demotion- otherwise it has nothing to do with ranking.
@@iBlueClovr they should be more expensive to hire.
@@jamesmcgraw4584 gold from quickplay shouldn't carry over into ranked
@@jamesmcgraw4584 gold from quickplay shouldn't carry over to ranked
I watched Meowscles win a game for his player. He did more damage than the player!
I don’t get it lol when I hire an npc they hardly ever hit their target and I end up having to do all the damage. When I come across someone with an npc and down them I nearly get killed finishing them off because their npc is hitting ALL their shots.
Finally someone talking about nerfing the sniper mag size and not the whole gun
I don't necessarily mind the bunkers opening on third cycle. I personally would have all of them open but have some with zero loot and only a mod bench so you can at least get the attachments you like going into mid game. Agree with you all on how frustrating it is to come across ARs that have no scope
Great idea. Chained bunker could just spawn open with no loot and a bench.
Agreed on chained bunkers, people do not seem to understand the design of the game. By delaying their opening, it is rewarding player who risk going to god chest POI's. I like low key drops but I can't do them bc I cannot stand spending the first half of the game with gray weapons w/o optics. It's by design
First, I have to say watching your videos has made me better. Thank you. As far as what you guys were talking about ALL FACTS WERE SPOKEN. Those bunkers take entirely too long to open. We were just talking about this yesterday. I've been playing for about two years now and just figured out where I need to be (ranked mode sends me to the lobby faster than I want to go) my bf plays too and showed me how battle royal mode is more my speed for now. The Wings of Death can and should be vaulted at this point. That storm sickness should be a thing. I watch people hide and wait to line people up and it just doesn't seem right. Those vaults and the storm tower can go too. And is it just me, or did they made the storm tower guards (we call them The Three) seem a little more aggressive now?
They have better aim and the main boss has a lot more health than he used to.
i stopped playing fortnite because of how bad the sprint currently is, im so over it. i wish they would make sprint longer, right now it feels like i have 5 seconds worth of sprint and i deeply wish it was 15 seconds worth of sprint. im really into moving and tricking people with movement but i have absolutely 0 room to do any tricks on anyone. it needs to be changed asap
You need to use sprint with slides. NEVER sprint jump it chunks your sprint bar but ALWAYS sprint + slide. You are harder to hit and you get more sprint. You can also jump out of the slide and then continuously jump + slide which will have you moving slower but you gain sprint over this duration. Just tap ur sprint key then after full sprint momentum tap your slide key. Don’t slide the full duration after half a second of slide start sprint again. Rinse and repeat.
Toby, I love these podcasts!! Very helpful and humble and chill. Great idea!! ❤
Bro I love that you guys are so honest about the game as content creators. I have definitely experienced every single thing you guys mentioned.
I’m not as good of a player as these guys, but I also find myself disagreeing with some of their points. I overall like how it set up and I like mobility is a bit slow so you’re more inclined to go for the two medallions that give you mobility or grab some wings or the golden banana. I think it’s overall balanced.
It's not balanced; they make great points in this podcast.
Why can't we have our bot lobbies just for doing our quest? I hate doing stuff in regular sessions. They always put me in with way more skilled players. Just because i grind my lvl for the battle pass. I never stand a chance
Team rumble is what I use for quests if I don't want to be messed with. NPCs and bosses don't spawn though so not all of them can be done in team rumble.
You can still access bot lobbies it's just more of a pain to do it.
Create a second account on your phone or another console then ready up with them. Have the new account leave the game before getting off the buss so they never pass level 5. You have 100% bot lobbies until you reach level 5 or so.
It was better when we could just friend request a bot and not have to go through all that trouble but it is still available if you really want.
Spot on guys with your points. I have definitely experienced all of these this season. Still having fun but definitely some stuff to clean up
I mentioned in another video, but shield bubbles don't even protect against Earthbending's Rock.Throw. There should be NO way a hurled slab should pierce a bubble.
Hiring NPC's has been some players main objective. I've seen players dive to POI only just to get an NPC early in the game. It's annoying.
A topic that wasn't discussed was the gatekeepers false hit markers. I couldn't understand how I was getting the red pellet markers on a person and there was no damage popping up. One after they fix the gatekeeper shooting around corners it now cannot shoot around corners as good as any other weapon. Two I was in my aim training map and realized that if I just shoot a wall or literally anything I can get hit markers with the gatekeeper this was not the case with the other shotguns so what I thought were hits could have been misses I just want to bring this up for awareness so it can get fixed.
Dont have anything to add on this subject but was wondering about doing a video on control sensitivity settings and the pros/cons, how they truly affect speed if adjusted.
There's a RUclipsr called Evolve Jake. He posted a video abt controller settings. Go look it up if you play on controller.
The heavy sniper was most balanced.
Apex legends has a pretty good shield upgrade mechanic idk if that would fit Fortnite , but it does reward kills and dmg
On cheating, a Cheater qualified for THE LAN last year, but not in the way you expect. A pro was playing on another former pro player's account. The got payed out for winning OCE FNCS as well. INSANE.
The snipers have been really frustrating this season for zero build. In the highest level pub lobbies, I've had people use the underworld teleport, teleport quickly away from me, turn around and snipe me. There's not way they should be able to line up a shot that quickly. And there's just as many snipers are there were before the update, I don't have any trouble finding one during a game.
Only people that are THAT good at sniping are PC players. Us casual console players cant move and hit as precise as they do.
storm surge is only for stacked comp or scrim lobbies though not for people not moving in ranked or pubs, there is only a set amount of players allowed into later circles and that’s what the surge is, but yes it forces fighting by having players try to stay above the damage threshold
Storm surge is in pubs the numbers are just never hit. There has to be too many people alive for the current zone and storm surge will begin. It's only an issue when people play solely for the win like in tournaments.
Maybe they are saying lower that number in ranked so it forces people to take action rather than camp all game.
21:40 "I'm a bad person" lol, I love this meme.
It’s kinda funny to look back at this analysis with the knowledge that Epic would shake everything up next season by throwing stuff like Mythic Cars into the mix!
Bunkers: make them much bigger, longer, higher, with cover inside for an actual fight. Put in 2-3-4 entrances/exits, one exit tunnel out. Vehicles inside bunkers.
also green ars if they have a scope only spawn with two scops the nemesis gets the 4x and the warforged gets the thermal... to me that is totally not pkay as those two scops are the worst scopes to have on an ar and blue rarity ars wuth the 4x and the thermal scopes are so much harder to find.. its frustrating and annoying
oh believe me, camping is loads of fun. I'm the one in the bush ready and waiting for you with the chain of Hades or 5 shot gatekeeper if you get close.
They should add slap juice back and give you like 40s of infinite sprint
TobyWanShinobi, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
I’m so glad u talked about the AI, the scanning AI with the smg and sniper literally beamed me from 180-0 after I got the last guy low, all he did was drive around, the bot had better aim than him. Literally cost me the game
Also how come no one talking about the flowberry movement, u get zero audio, u easily break the opponents camera
They should add mod benches in all vaults, but they have a limit of 2 attachments or something like that. Think Med Machine.
I agree with everything except the sprint part. In ranked especially people just like to run from fights. Faster/unlimited sprints would just make these encounters even more annoying.
Great points spot on with everything
In my opinion, the easiest way to fix the ranking issue is to unlock Unreal. Ranked seems to be an ELO style system, and farming rank in ELO never pays off. Unless... you lock out the top tier bc it naturally ruins the flow/trade of ranking points.
Over the season, players who camp to the highest tiers will naturally fall down the order to better players.
I'm all for making snipers really rare and really any of the most powerful weapons rare. RNG can make things interesting. Its true though, if you dont have a sniper, you're at a big disadvantage right now. I feel like stamina too they make it drain too fast for how big the map is.
loot island needs to get a new layout every season but i think it should stay and it needs a reason to go besides the bench
In Zero Build I keep a big bottle of 100 units slurp juice on me. Drink 5 units and slide jump huge distances, the walking and sprinting is ridiculous I agree.
The gatekeeper shotgun needs nerfed so bad. its OP like no other. unless you get headshots with whatever weapon you have going against it, you're losing that battle 9/10 times. and I think the blue/purple/gold versions spawn way too often
For the sniper problem I would say shake when being shot. Snipers right now long range will just take the hits to line up there shot and just trade
One problem that people aren’t discussing is: gatekeeper vs gatekeeper. If both players are good, the first one who shoots faster wins 100% the time, so people camping have a tremendous advantage, basically end game gatekeeper shotgun is a buffed auto shotgun, hammer pump is just garbage and frenzy auto now is super weak, sometimes shooting with smg or ar close range is better.
How would you solve this problem? Shouldn't the person who shoots first have an advantage?
@@chrisliles9370 against good players if they get the first shot you’re dead. Don’t even try, at least back on pump shotgun + smg/ar you had a chance if you have a better kit (pump + smg was stronger than pump + mk7) to trade or just run away, gatekeeper makes the fight impossible to avoid if they get close. Time to kill is too fast, only mythic auto shotgun had the same capability to kill that way and you had to capture the flag on loot island.
I hate the sprint bar! The size of the map alone should automatically tell you unlimited sprint.
I mean maybe it was implemented to make the storm more of a scary force, but imo unlimited sprint and nonstop headshots are ruining zero build.
22:40 The NPC teleport should be like storm damage health regen. Can't teleport within 5 seconds of taking a shot.
I need a video that shows what “hitscan” weapons were. I’ve heard about them often but didn’t start playing until this year so it makes no sense to me 😂
Just means the bullet has no travel time. If you hit the fire button when the crosshairs is on the enemy, you get a hit. They can’t dodge at any range. No bullet drop, no bullet travel.
So hitscan is like he said the second you press fire, the bullet goes instantly where it was pointed. If the enemy is 5 meters or 500 meters away it hits them instantly even if they are running.
Projectile would be like a real bullet, it travels at a certain speed and the longer it goes the more it drops. So if someone is running away from me at a distance of 100 meters I am going to have to aim a little bit in front of them. That way when the bullet finally makes it to the enemy I have accounted for the distance, drop, and the speed and way they are heading. Where as with hitscan I would want my cross hair right on the enemy.
I personally prefer hitscan weapons but with snipers and dmrs being projectile, which is what Fortnite had until the start of chapter 5.
Awesome content guys! I love your vids!
Overall, the changes help create parity and keep everyone learning so there's a chance for everyone to compete.
As a new player to fortnite who is an average player trying to get better, I like the increased RNG and decreased guaranteed loot. I feel like it evens the playing field and gives the little guys a chance to compete against the seasoned veterans.
I'm saying all of this for unranked...
For the record, storm surge isn’t just in tournaments, it’s also in pubs and ranked! Storm surge is activated when the total lobby damage is below a certain threshold, regardless of game type.
I feel like it’s way higher threshold though no? Compared to a tournament? Like I’ve seen storm sickness pop up before but never seen surge except for one time I played in a pickaxe only custom 🤣
It’s probably that people in tournaments play smarter so you have a lot more people still alive in later rounds.
@@MFBuddy_YT I’m not sure about that, but it would make sense!
It's based on players alive per zone but if you look at the numbers they are super high. The only time it takes effect is in tournaments because so many people are playing to win. While in most pub games you have 50 people dead within minutes of landing.
@@ericgonser1544 Most pub games would have too many AI-Bots to be a factor. Imagine a bunch of bots marking it through storm surge and real players start dying due to storm surge. 🤣
Weapons and stamina should be balanced differently between the 2 game modes. The overshields are used as a crutch to cover the poor zero build balancing.
Solve camping, ranked, by having timers placed on those not moving more than x amount of range at a time.
@TobyWanShinobi For balancing the Cerbus Dash spam using an hourglass analogy. The maximum available capacity is limited to the maximum three charges as currently, however when enter the green water any available capacity goes into a reservior which trickles into the availabe charge. IMO extend to 15 seconds instead of 10 to build up enough for another charge. I.e. Instead of going straight into an available charge goes into an available reservoir. Same for the Cerbus dash medallion increase the recharge time to at least 15 seconds. So if had 0 charges and dippped your toes in the green water would take 10-15 seconds to obtain the first charge so "vunerable" for 15-30 seconds until charges build up. Even the Cerbus dash medallion would take 10-15 seconds to build up a charge instead of obtaining three available charges instantly and the water would have no effect for instant charges. Now for sharing it amongst teammates, hmmm jury is out atm how to treat, not a fan of sharing its ability simultaneously as dont think any of other medallions work like that.
are the updated chains of hades (55dmg per normal hit + 80dmg per 3rd strike + 60dmg for GET OVER HERREEEE!!!! ) better than the frenzy shotgun now ?
Great discussion. I would add that, if this is a “Mods” meta, then the ability to shift mods across existing weapons in the inventory should be added. The number of times I’ve picked up a shotgun with a scope and an AR without is mental. We should be able to switch mods on all weapons in inventory without a Mod Bench. Also, mod benches should be way more accessible like the upgrade benches in Chapter 4, and I agree on sniper meta points. Thanks guys.
MF_Buddy, just so you know, storm surge and sickness are in all playlists, ranked, and even public games.
Toby the quality of your content is top of the food chain. Massive salute to you Sir.
Headshot to 249 DMG fixed ⛺.
I have been playing sence Christmas i have fun on it but the island bites i can get purple weapons any where i stay in the top 20 in most matches and win with green and gray weapons
Toby,
I ask you bare with me for a few
To answer about storm surge:
It's in every playlist public to tournament, but it's intention isn't to force activity. It's meant to reduce player count to reduce server load in smaller circles. Reisshub explains it here in YT. There's a threshold each circle. So aggressive players usually clean up/get knocked out in the first few minutes meaning there's no need for Surge.
I feel like you said perfectly that an issue with POV is overshadowed by players' FPS shooter background where the goal is most kills. I'm sorry, but this is a "last one alive" goal which means taking every fight is actually counter to the goal due to taking unnecessary risks and disregarding survival.
One side of this community actually demands that everyone be force to take every fight (play exactly as they do) even if its a horrible decision. They'll quickly insult and disrespect anyone on socials that make the point that the game design reinforces player's choice of aggressive or passive.
Honestly (as irritating as many find it) the camping sniper who wins the game in one shot, taking no damage, would be the absolute pinnacle of efficiency and decision making in a Battle Royale.
In that example, that player will have beaten 99 others player using minimum resources with perfect accuracy, impregnable defense, laser focus, iron patience, and amazing awareness.
My favor to ask you is (if anyone can do it, it would definitely be you) to develop counter sniper strategies and tactics, especially for times when you can't find a sniper rifle.
How can players use their surroundings to block vision and flank?
Where are key places to be aware of?
When is it best to disengage?
I've watched you do all those things in your ranked content and believe you'd really help the balance of the game by giving aggressive players the tools to handle passive players better and everyone learn to be more tolerant of each other.
I take the DMR. I think it's better than the sniper if you can hit, which I can.
Was bushcampdad still teaming this season? Last season he would camp until he hit a good placement and when he felt someone saw him that could potentially damage him he quit and still got the rank % for it (This is when there was a not taking damage bonus in the game and apparently no penalty for quitting early). Also his viewers would come up to him mid game and give him loot and free kills, including at times free wins which completely throws off the rank system and is completely different from hitting high rank by camping on your own (not quitting - which shouldn't grant any % advancement) and not teaming which is cheating
I agree but I think the reason you get to keep the percentage you earned even when you quit is to protect people with bad internet or outages etc. It would suck to have your console or PC crash and lose percentage because of it.
I think something needs to be done though your right, bushcampdad should not be in unreal.
BushCampDad goes out of his way to avoid stream snipping by hiding his screen at the start and avoiding showing the map. He should also be careful avoiding displaying the match id in the top left as determined stream snipers know his strategy and likely landing and rotation. He's definately not a fan of streamsnipers. IMO a "good stream sniper" is a banned one. I don't watch any streamer for the stream snipers or being fed free loot or kills. Watch for the entertaining content, any useful strategies or chill stream.
What BushCampDad does is highlighting the issues with the ranking system. For any competition, "If going to play the game, know the rules." That way you know how to exploit them to your advantage which what BCD is doing. For this season Epic has adjusted the ranking system to be dependent on a damage received verses dealt. So BCD adjusted his strategy in builds to run around on very low health, so the difference when he dies is minimal. So back to the drawing board for Epic how to tweak the ranking system to combat this strategy unless they think it's a desirable strategy.
@@mjohnstone2399 you can literally see him happily taking free kills, loots, wins over and over
@ericgonser1544 that should only happen once in a blue moon unless your connection is complete trash, and in that case the onus is on you to get a better connection not epic to adjust and completely damage the integrity of the entire rank system because of a very small fraction of people with terrible internet. In other games a disconnect is considered an auto loss unless you are able to join back in time before the match ends and you'll probably have a rank ban that you either need to wait Out or complete as well. At best you can say the game should be nullified as in no progress or regress, but then it's obvious that any time someone is going to regress in rank they'll just quit a lot of times and nullify the game- meaning you would never go down in rank only up. Having you KEEP your progress, not regressing or being null is absurd, paired with a bonus for not taking damage in a match when you can just quit out to not take damage is ridiculous
Too many times lately ive gone through 5-7 chests with only smgs dropping. That’s not rng.
Idk I really been enjoying island. It's not very contested at all and I can get some heals, wings (if i dare), and most importantly i get to finalize my modded weapons without people dropping on me
Flow is great mobility 👌
Is there a best matchmaking region to use for your FFA creative map? Want to play it, but never find anyone else in there and I’m wondering if it’s my region
Try NA east or West
I think EMPs are pretty balanced actually. Maybe reduce to 70 damage.
I feel like the sniper rifles are fine since they added more bullet drop. It’s not easy for anyone to pick one up and get long range one shot kills unless you have a ton of practice leading targets. When I first started playing fortnight a little less than a year ago I hated all the snipers in the game and made myself get good with one. Winning a long range sniper vs. sniper battle at the end of the game and coming out on top is much more rewarding then shotgunning someone point blank. Snipers take some skill, a lot of the other weapons in the game are overpowered and require zero skill.
its not rng you just have to wait for 1 shot accuracy (with the snipers without the scope)
I think the mod benches should stay the way it is. But I do agree in the rank system. Personally I only play solo ranked and I don’t think there is a way to take the “camping” away. I literally die to people whom hide in the most unexpected places. I was gonna hit some barrels at fencing in the shacks and this player was literally in the little shack just camping. I got eliminated and it did tilt me, but I can’t blame the player because I play like that at times too in ranked. In pubs I’ll w key, but rank is a whole new ball game.
How can we force EPIC to watch this at their next team meeting!? 😂
I feel they could have been more creative with the wings that couple seconds when you twirl to get up into the sky you ricochet any bullets being shot at you for that time. Also the landing animation is so bad so many times ive wanted to land on a roof and i have to circle to get to where i want. not counting divebombing
3rd zone feels perfect for bunkers but they definitely need to be 100% spawn and it should open a lot immediately at 3rd zone
3rd zone is way too long, most of them are in the storm.
@@drunkhusband6257
True, but if they were 100% rate it would work. I feel like them being in early would make them overly contested and the bunkers and areas around them aren’t great places to take fights
As much as they ought get rid of ADS bloom and make everything have a CoD style Iron Sight, they ain’t ever gonna do it.
32:10 I totally agree, big risk, big reward.
Good thoughts, lobbies still feel super sweaty compared to last season though?
One I have always talked about to my friends is crafting reboot cards like you can in apex where only support players can do it maybe fortnite can only allow it once per game or something to still keep it fair. Another thing I want to see is reboot vans locations spawning in different areas or even a mobile one because I remember playing a game and these players put bunkers up surrounding the boot van to prevent others from rebooting which was very annoying. I was a solo along with another person and they were full squad just sniping everyone during end game. Another one I would like to see is if a friend pings loot and its a bit of a distance I want to be able to mark it so I can easily locate it. One last thing which would require a community change is reporting teaming even you are not sure it is happening because on TikTok I have noticed a trend of players finding a solo bestie and they team up together like its a duos match but if you say something about it being unfair or simply report it ppl will call you stupid or its just a game its not that serious just ready like everyone else makes me feel like its hurting the community and should be spoken about.
You can now report teaming on the game. It even asks if you want to block them. I hate when I see people teaming in solos, it definitely shouldn't happen. I have been playing a year and only come across it three times (that I noticed) so not too commonbut frustratingwhen it does happen.
@@ericgonser1544 This is true you can report them but ppl don't seem to want to or if you do they will call you a baby about it when its not like that. I don't play alot of solos to really know how common but TikTok seems to be making it a trend lately. Honestly I have only caught cheaters in creative as odd that sounds especially in colorblock.
Agree on mobility!
It’s a great theme season . The map is boring with very few little low key drops. Lots of open spaces with nothing. Epic wants us to use vehicles. Need to bring back hitscan as well.
very little lowkey drops ? there’s many unnamed pois, there’s many spots that you can land on just one chest and rotate
@@EihyaFN yes but compared to other maps there were tons of little chest spots and you could create your own loot paths. There’s literally huge spaces in the map that is just hills or wide open spaces.
I’m really disappointed in this season to be honest
Can we all agree that epic should at a minimum fix replay sound and god chests that don't open?
I found out if you destroy the wall next to the god chest it will open. Still super frustrating but at least can pickaxe the floor or closest wall and it will open.
The reply sound will come back if you switch the camera mode all the way through. So if I'm on gameplay and the sound goes out switch the camera angle all the way through and back to gameplay and it will come back. Super annoying all the little glitches it has like it won't show accurate health information since the most recent update.
@@ericgonser1544 one of the one that does not open for me is on unbreakable ground
@@ericgonser1544 thanks, I found this out yesterday after a month or more of not knowing. Thanks for sharing.
Sniper should be single shot. Max ammo of 5-10 rounds and it should be hard to find. In other words, it should be a "tough decision" to carry one.
I must say that I like the inequality and the randomness of what is available to you. It makes the game more real - as how it is IR: iife sucks, then you die :)
I love that you must make do with what ever you are presented with or fall backwards into and just need to be good and really fight as if you life depended on mastering the task ahead with the tools at your disposal.
How about getting rid of scopes and then when you increase weapon rarity, you have a 4 minute use until it drops 1 rarity.
I know a guy who can chase people and kill them with under 30 seconds. Your aim just needs to be better and you have to wait until you drop in the water to shoot, don't try to shoot when you're in the air.
You could also do something like CoD and give people a 2nd chance at life by 1v1ing in the afterlife with random weapons (or set weapons), I think RNG could be fun here.
Also, atopic of my own is Bots. They need to remove.bots from the game, or at least remove the possibility of bot lobbies. People have oversee those and have used it to get to unreal in ranked, or even like level 2000, and have like 3-500 crowned wins, and they show that off to people to get attention and those people are.like "man I wanna play like that and have that many crowns" but then they ask why and its like, "oh nevermind".
YEARS ago, when Counter Strike came out I thought I was getting cheated on. After years I installed walls, yep almost everyone was cheating. I moved to Battlefield 2, again after a while I felt the cheats were strong. Installed wall and spectated everyone, sure enough they were aiming at people that only a wallhacker could see. I think the only way to stop it is if an anti-cheat can view the players screen.
I am commenting as I watch, so yes - getting spooked by your own NPCs steps on visual audio is a common occurrence for me at least so they should be either a different colour or have an outline or something. The struggle is real sometimes :D
You're right. The VISUAL cue is removed once purchased but the audio cue is not. BUT they are complaining about not differentiating between enemy player visual cue and enemy npc visual cue.
@@gcardenasa19 hello?? this EXACTLY what I just wrote. Guess I should have dumbed it down more.
@@GoingShirtlessthat is NOTHING like what you wrote. You are getting "spooked" by your own NPC and they are complaining about the ENEMY NPCs. There is NO NEED to change colors for visual cues of your NPC because there ARE NONE. we are ALL regarding ENEMY NPCs. Is that dumbed down enough for you??
I wanted to say that I don't think camping in a bush all game is good but I can see doing it briefly to wait for the right moment to start a fight or if you needed to reset the fight because you took too much damage I do sit in a bush sometimes in end game to try to avoid being sniped as well
"5 shots in the magazine with sniper rifle" bro in OG fortnite the semi-auto snipier was 10 shots in mag. Now THAT was a dream gun.
but didn't 1 shot kill...
@@TobyWanShinobi I can't say specifically, but I'm pretty sure in OG fortnite I got headshot kills. v=D8cusfu61sA 6:05 Replays gets a single headsnipe with blue rarity. 101 x 2.5 critical is 252.
Ok, imagine a heavy sniper, now times it by 5 and put attachments on it. That’s how broken this thing is
@@Tax17-17 it wasn't broken before. It was awesome and right. NOW it is broken. People who don't game right complain about the sniper lol. I was there since the hunting rifle in Oregon Trail XD. Reaper rifle has been the only sniper worked remotely correctly. Heavy sniper was kinda trash. Compare with the HTI in Wildlands and it was 🗑️ 🔥
@@ShifuCareaga Yh u shoulda jus kept ur opinion to urself
Am i the only one that finds it hard to distinguish between NPCs and players sometimes. Especially the gods. Unless you happen to look at them right when they flicker..
I dont want to talk about the few times I thought A person using the Poseidon skin was the npc and a player
bro i have been accused of cheating multiple times in creative
Sorry, Toby, I usually enjoy your videos. This video ist a thumbs down, because of: "Wrong title, wrong questions, wrong answers". You guys complain about ranked in the upper bracket. Title should have been: "Issues in upper bracket in ranked games in Fortnite". You are excluding casual players and players in the lower bracket of ranked matches.The video has absolutely nothing to do with Fortnite in general.
Man but in snipers only games the reaper is so fun!
the reason the bunkers spawn in late is because they wanted to bring value back to taking the island
They are complaining about nobody going to island, but in my games the medallion players almost always collide there. so there is always consolidation or exchange at that point in the game.
