4 Horsemen of c5s3 1.Boss car spammers 2.Nitro fist melee spammers 3.Magneto spammers 4.Nobody wanting to fight with guns and intead running away with every possible mobility item
the fists were ok. good mobility finally. but the magneto gloves holy shit that mythic is god awful. and we are getting more at least 4 more next season. getting sick of these overpowered items in a pvp mode
the cars should have been a Reload style mode, separate from normal BR because while they were super fun to mess with the first few days most fortnite players are not interested in car fighting every single game for an entire season
@@DevourFNSAltPoint being? The season's theme is the entire reason C5S3 had some of the lowest player counts of recent seasons ever. The point still stands that not everyone wants to play every single match as car-royale wether its the season's theme or not.
Also a casual and I could deal with the cars or fists once they got nerfed. I actually got pretty good at anti-car fighting. The magneto gloves, however, were game breakingly strong with no recourse. They work from a distance, almost can't miss and cause an unbelievable amount of damage.
@@Dan-cm9owI’m sitting at 130 crowns and level 380ish. Don’t worry, magneto’s gauntlets are borderline OP. If you’re fighting and the guy already hit once, gg and back to lobby. There’s nothing much you can do.
This. I was enjoying the game again before the Magneto Gloves broke everything. Too many endgames are just a bunch of people fisting up in the air and trying to Magneto each other.
Middle of this season played well. Specifically, post-car nerf and pre-Magneto gloves. My favorite season of Chapter 5, but it’s low on my list of seasons overall.
Agree 100%. I've only ever played Chapter 5 and I still think Season 2 was my favorite with the underpowered medallions and fun POIs, but I have really enjoyed the mobility in Season 3 (the cars somewhat, but very much with the fists and nitro and boost hoops).
@@JesterQueenAnne Agreed. Jake said it well when he mentioned post-car nerf and pre-Magneto was some of the most fun moments he had playing Fortnite, can attest to that as well. I didn't like Reload mode but I'm happy to see many people find it enjoyable.
It got more balanced, but it was so annoying to die to them because it takes no skill and it is unsatisfying to win with them because of that. And this is coming from a causal
My friends & I actually strategized around the cars where we'd get one & add the mods we like (bullet proof tyres, grenade turret & spiked bumper) & then we'd have at least 1 person who isn't driving acting as a "vehicle support role" utilizing repair torches, shield bubbles & possibly nitro if you're not using a boss vehicle. You'd be surprised how easy it can be to survive vehicle fights & even defeat boss cars who aren't doing any of that. I'll admit it isn't as engaging as regular on foot fighting etc...but it does add an interesting element of team coordination & needing to learn strategies as a driver. (repair crates, gas stations & when to generally flee & take cover from a fight).
This season was borderline unplayable at some points and it's only gotten more stale. Every endgame is either: A Boss Vehicle, Magneto Hands or both. Praying for no more cars or OP gimic weapons but based off what you've said, it's going to be MORE of that. Season Rating: 3/10
There won’t be strong cars anymore, but you can almost bet for sure there will be some retarded gimmick item since they’ve had one like every season for 2 years now. Always some mythic item doing like 150 damage through walls, its so cringe.
Even my hyper-casual brother was perplexed why we were suddenly winning so many pub games at the start of the car-royale season as long as we never exited the permanently nitroed self-repairing mythic vehicle. Later he learned to carry the repair torch but he is too attached to the vehicles to this day resulting in many games lost to people carrying EMP grenades. When I ping a good shotgun for him to take he replies: "No need I already have nitro fists."
lol playing against ppl like this before boogie bombs or emps made me so mad bc id run outta sprint and get slammed by a car (esp with the modded bumpers) I basically quit fortnite for a good month bc it was so annoying and id rather play Minecraft
Horrible launch aside, Magneto def killed the vibe for the last half of the season. They could have atleast lowered the drop rate of they werent going to actually nerf it. Or have it be 1 per game so its valuable but still doesnt influence the entire game
@@micahgood1064 fr man. i waited for so long as well, but in the end they didnt even nerf/vault it. I thought it wouldnt take long just like the boogie bomb
My wife decided she wanted to come play Fortnite cause lets be honest, shooting people sounds fun. (in a game) This season, she was unable to enjoy that because you could literally not walk 2 minutes without getting killed by a car. She is by all definitions a casual. I'm no try-hard, but the amount of cars forced me to stop playing out of sheer boredom. I play Fortnite to shoot, not drive people over. I can play GTA for that. While there were some interesting aspects of the season, overall it was a let down.
I only started playing again at the beginning of Chapter 5 when I discovered Zero Build was a thing (hadn't played since Chapter 1), but overall this was my least favorite season so far. And it's mostly because of the Magneto gloves, which I despise. I didn't mind the car-focus at the beginning, it definitely felt like a different game but I figured it was only going to last for a while so I enjoyed it for what it was. I have liked the increased mobility, too, but I wish the Nitro gauntlets were only a movement item. I don't really like melee weapons that throw your character around, they make everything feel less skill-based. I 100% agree about the sweet-spot in the middle once EMPs were brought in. That was my favorite time to play this season. But once all the attacks became either someone flailing with a melee attack or Magneto spam, it really went downhill. Can't wait for those gloves to get vaulted.
I couldn’t agree more with your statement at 9:40, people no longer rely on skill as soon as you engage with someone they either nitro fist away or pull out the magnetos
You are very generous @evolvejake 😊 I would give the season 4/10 and only because Reload was launched. I love the game, but I believe I would have given up the game if Reload wasn’t added. I totally agree with Jake - I want to play Fortnite and for the game to stay 80 % the same from chapter to chapter and changes to made on the map and loot pool. The changes made this season meant that Fortnite became a completely different game; first a car game, then a game with tons of moronic OP weapons such as water bending, Magneto gloves and much more.
I am a casual who plays no build for the chiller vibes and I hated the cars. Honestly all the mobility options and cars made the game a sweat off 95% of the time. I play squads and trios the most and it was so hard to just play without a car, magneto, or the nitro medallion and gloves. Way too much power and speed to get across the map and overwhelm people. I definitely agree with the anti-car stuff, I absolutely needed to carry something 100% of the time. I want no cars (dirt bikes are way better for the game IMO), limited mobility options, absolutely no magneto gloves, personally would like no medallions and just a slower paced game
I'd argue "keep cars but NO CAR WEAPONS I'M SICK TO DEATH OF THE TURRETS AND THE BUMPERS." because then it's no longer "car meta" it's just "oh this is here as a good hiding spot for ZB and also mobility out of storm" like it was in the previous 2 seasons. Though I do want dirtbikes back. I missed those to death like I missed the Nemesis AR.
I love how you specificly pointed out fights where people only fight from cars and just try to run away when you hit them with EMP not even trying to fight and how much they suck if they have no other option but to pull out a gun, spamming you with magmeto and nitro gloves. For someone like me who is actually trying to improve it's hard to deal with those players and it's just incredibly annoying
I played a good amount of seasons of zero build. I like the hammer, katana, and other mobility options we had, but I’m glad they shifted more into shockwaves and bunkers in the following seasons. My issue is definitely the cars. I stopped playing the game and haven’t touched it since. I just play overwatch now. Fortnite is not dead, of course, but I’d be back the next day if there wasn’t a strong car meta. I’d even prefer the formulaic play style of heading to bunkers and then fighting for island. It felt super skillful. Fortnite is losing that skillful aspect for me that makes the game enjoyable.
imo the launch of the season was fine and i found car combat another layer of skill, but the car nerfs were still needed. However, Magneto was easily the most annoying thing fortnite has ever made(i didn't play sX so maybe mech's were worse?) Can we talk about how the magneto didn't get nerfed the ENTIRE SEASON. The fall guys, Metallica, and pirate updates were all pretty good. Ngl for me at least Magneto dropped this from a 9/10 to a 5-7/10
waterbending is definitely up there. I've noticed magneto is less accurate at stupid ranges unlike waterbending so I'd say waterbending just cause it was literally a sniper, smg, ar, and shotgun all in one package
@@Elixrfy True, but I'm a builds player so water bending wasn't that effective if you could just box up. And magneto when u hit someone their camera and movement is messed up so free kill, but for water you actually aimed like an op gun
The same ones who complain about the car nerfs and saying the season is ruined suck tbh. They can’t get many kills usually, even in their own lobbies and with the cars, fists, magneto, nitro they were finally able to get kills which made them enjoy it more. Next season I believe will be the same, crutch marvel items
Mobility got out of hand this season, that was the big red flag for me. It’s been trending in that direction for a while with mobile heals, infinite zero point dashes, but the nitro fists and cars this season took it to another level where it just felt like every gunfight took forever bc of escape option and was annoying as hell.
Hoping fortnite keeps reload a relatively consistent game mode- swap guns in and out like how theve been doing. Change Battle royal however they want as they already do, but give the consitent fortnite players a consistent gaming experience with reload.
The weapon mods have been here the whole chapter...not just season 3. 🤷♂ Fair enough on the cars, but the weapon mods are not unique/exclusive to this season.
@@fbb5599 Fair enough I guess, I mean I hate the thermal scope existing/being on every floor loot AR it seems like...especially when it doesn't even work as a thermal (e.g seeing people through cover/bushes). But overall I far prefer the guns being projectile vs hitscan personally, & a lot less bloom involved too. Feels a lot more of an even playing field to me.
Im an old CoD fan back from the MW2 days. I played the original Fortnite when it became popular before ninja and drake era. I never got into it because of all the building and I didn’t want to invest too much time learning how to play build wars in the endgame with mats. Now I have two boys 7 and 9 and they used their allowance money to buy their first battle pass. Because they were so into it they would ask me to play and I wasn’t aware of Zero Build, but once I started to play I soon realized how cheesy car wars was and I began to dislike the game again. But because my boys wanted to play all the time I became a casual because I liked the ZB aspect and began following you to learn how to get better. I would agree that your advice on learning to play without the cars has helped my game a lot, even though there are cheese items. We’re all looking forward to the new season tonight PST, finally getting passed the car Royale this season was.
At first the massive difference in gameplay between this season and others was too overwhelming. After they balanced the cars it was much better but I still thought they could have been balanced a bit more. Epic adding the boogie bombs was past annoying. Then they added the Magneto mythic…. Way too powerful and they never balanced it. For a month now I’ve been really sick of just being spammed by the Magneto mythic. I’m afraid of what next season because of the amount of potentially OP mythic being added. I want the game to have the guns power levels be a n par with anything else they put in the game.
so sorry for you now that the season has been out for 2 days and the amount of op mythic bulls did not stop. a flying war machine set user with a shield is the new magneto, car, and fists combined in one
I’m a casual player I did not enjoy that the cars were overpowered. I also think both sets of gloves should have been nerfed would have made this season way more enjoyable
5 out of 10. For most of the reasons you mentioned. I was not big on the desert biome either. The POIs were just meh. Sandy Steppes was ok. Never balancing the Magneto Gloves was a huge mistake and sucked all of the fun out of the latter part of this season. Lootpool other than that was fine. Nitro Fists, Cactuses and the Combat AR were all W's. Sniper could have been better. Pirates collab was mediocre but decent. Meh. 5
The sniper is really good if you can get used to the absurd drop it has, and having comparable damage on cars to the magneto item makes it a halfway decent car counter from a distance.
@@tmoney1487Agreed. I use the sniper regularly. It absolutely destroys cars. Like you said the bullet drop on it is ridiculous. After the Reaper, I don't know if any Sniper will feel adequate.
This season was the definition of growing pains for the new creative lead. The last season I remember being this counter to normal Fortnite was the UFO season, but those were easier to fight than the cars were.
Its beyond me that epic has literally thousands of employees working together, putting their brain power together, and still cant figure out that majority of people hate broken ass vehicles. Did they learn nothing from Mechs and how it made many quit the game? And please stop with broken ass items that do 150 damage through walls. Theres been some sort of item like that nearly every season for 2 years. They must want to kill their game. That or they are thinking about the “future generation” by appealing to the 6 year old Timmys
2/10 for me this season was absolute trash, Fortnite reload is fun but if your playing with a random teammate they usually just push teams with no shield or loot and get eliminated over and over
I personally hate any melee or superpower thing in this game. So next season is gonna be annoying af. At least vehicles your limited by the things you can do. When you give powers and stuff people can build, use guns, use movement items, and then also use an op power. There’s no counter play.
Maybe that's why they made a reload mode. That mode still has mostly core weapons with core mechanics. I mean, I know they copied off of warzone rebirth Island, however, to me it's better than the normal Battle Royal in zero build.
This was genuinely my least favorite season of fortnite ever. I've played since season 3 chapter 1 and have had a couple of breaks here and there where I've not enjoyed a season, but pretty consistently played with my trio for 6 years. The other 2 of my trio have had little breaks here and there too, over the years, but this season is the first time all 3 of us have genuinely just not enjoyed the game and all of us have basically not played in the last month or two. That says it all, for me. It just didn't feel like fortnite anymore, between the overpowered cars, magneto, gloves etc it just felt like tacky stupid items - it's gone so far away from what it used to be. Hopefully next season is vastly better, but I'm not holding much hope after I watched the trailer.
After Donald Mustard left, Epic said, “let’s throw some shit at the wall and see if it sticks.” 😂 ….Disney shows up. The season was decent, but it’s sad how all over the place it was. For me, the TTK and RNG weren’t very compensating to this season/weapons and that’s why so many people were able to run away with minuscule health. It’s like why don’t AR’s feel decent at all? I always end up using the burst smg. Weird. Hopefully weapons get to shine more next season with some good gun fights.
As a person that loves cars, plays racing games, is the designated driver on our team (lol), I was exhausted with them weeks ago. Absolutely hated the Magneto gloves. Way too many features as a weapon. Shield, destroys cars and whatever you think you're hiding behind, damages you while in a car, and absolutely wrecks you if you get caught in the open with Nitro fists. Worst season? No, not even close. There were a lot of things I thought were cool but ready for it to be over.
as a complete noob (I started playing at the end of last season) I hated this season. obviously not enough for me to stop playing but the cars were for one, annoying af to play against but also boring to play with tbh and the magneto gloves....god those things have to go
My counter to boss cars for bosses that didn't roam, was just not taking them. Was it a dick move? Probs. Viable strategy? Oh HELL YES. Also, as a Marvel Vs. Capcom player, the "Magneto Power" gave me PTSD of opponents using Magnetic Tempest on me. Also PTSD of fighting Mags at the end of Children Of the Atom.
The start of CH5 S3 was straight up awful. I vividly remember one end game where there were 2 boss cars riding around the end circle. Glad that the boss cars got nerfed and the emps come back during the season. Every player bum rushing Megalo Don's medallion, running away and not fighting is not the essence of "Fortnite" I had in mind. Reload Mode coming into this season was a breath of fresh air in my opinion and felt "grounded", so to speak. I give CH5 S3 a 5.5/10
I'm someone who really enjoyed the car combat but even I couldn't stand how OP the cars were at the beginning lol. Once they brought EMPs in, I greatly enjoyed this season since I couldn't just rely on the cars for a win, and each match felt fresh. And then the magneto gloves came...Couldn't stand them lmao but near the end it felt like they did become easy-ish to counter (still OP tho). I've only played since Chp4 S4, and overall I think this Chp5 S3 has been my favourite by far, in that sweet middle spot of the season at least. Some minor additions that I also thought were fantastic were the wastelander challenges and the viewing of accolades.
And the steady increase of cheaters in the game is annoying. Maybe that is a feature as you get into higher ranked lobbies but it got to a level where you just get killed to these idiots way too often.
Reload only sucks when you have ass teammates(I'm one of them) but golly gee that's the most fun I've had in fortnite In a mighty long time. Coz you know, you shoot...in a shooting game?who woulda thought.
Big cap… reload is boring af… and the numbers prove you wrong… ZB BR and Builds had higher numbers than reload the whole time except for the first 2-3 days reload dropped
I feel you are very generous, I would give 4/10 myself, but I'm a relatively new player. It felt like a big risk for them to take the game in such a different vibe, but I will be interested to see what the next season will hold.
Started playing in Chapter 1 Season 3, this was the first season I just couldn't bring myself to play. Hoping the next is better but I don't have high hopes based on what I've seen.
I don’t want to play a driving combat game so I was a little checked out of this season, and didn’t play it anywhere near as often as what I did previously. If I wanted a driving combat game I’d play something like Twisted Metal instead!! The art design was pretty cool in some instances though so even though the gameplay wasn’t for me, I did like some of the artistic choices.
I feel like with any spammy overpowered weapon, you fix it by giving it x amount of charges opposed to infinite use recharge cooldown. I’d like to see fists have infinite mobility use but maybe only 10 melee hits
I also had the most fun during the post car nerf, EMPs in, pre Magneto gloves time-period. I was playing a ton because I was on summer break from work, but as soon as I went back to work two weeks ago haven't felt like playing at all.
W video, I actually commented on yesterday's(?) video requesting more subjective-style commentary. I assume this video was conceived and probably filmed before then, but a fun coincidence for me nonetheless.
Its the first time since i started playing in Chapter 3 that ive stopped playing rbe game for weeks on end. Bought the battle pass the day it dropped, ive got no care or interest in unlocking the cosmetics i dont have
2/10 for me. literally my least fav season of fn so far. i actually quit playing over a month ago. also not looking forward to an entire season of no skill OP marvel mythics
Collabs are never balanced. They are either gamebreaking or boring. I am not sure they really can be anything else. Fans of the IP want it to effect the game, people who aren't fans, just want to play Fortnite. So its either--Darth Vader lands at some out of the way island and has the only lightsaber in the game...25%% of players complain (cause they like star wars), 75% players ignore it OR Magneto gauntlets drop from every 2nd chest, they are completely broken and make other players lag when you shoot them, and can damage them through most types of cover...75% of players complain because its annoying AF, 25% of players love it (cause they like to win and don't care how).
I think they had in their plans to add the EMPs at a certain time to space out "car breaking" items. That's why weeks later they added the sniper, later they added Magneto's item, then added the minigun to seem like the island is fighting back against the cars and Meglo Don. They prob brought back boogies to make sure people didn't quit playing all together before their planned item drops
I sum it up as the most annoying. The AOE, damage count, and stunlock for the magneto is just baffling. The majority of the map being functionally abandoned, the loot pool constantly being in shambles, the pirates collab was super underwhelming (and it seems quite a few people didnt have enough time to work through the mini pass), and the shotgun blanks coming back with a vengeance. All in all, it felt like Epic was running on autopilot to make cheap money.
I forgot about the medallions. I'm not a fan of those either, especially with the number of perks they each gave out this season. I don't care much for anything that's intended to give a brainless advantage. It'll almost never end up in the inventory of a player who would "need" an advantage to level the playing field. For example, a mythic weapon still requires decent aim/mechanics, but endless nitro/ammo/shield-regen PLUS mythic weapons/mobility is a brain dead move by the devs. Pure cheese.
I wanna say it was good, but also stopped playing shortly after the Magneto gloves were added. I was never good at using cars so I appreciated that they forced me to figure out those mechanics and then made them not necessary with the addition of boogie bombs, then emp nades. Both of those are also useful in non-car fights so I didn’t take issue with needing to carry them, made me rethink my typical loadout. I always appreciate change and they weaned us off cars pretty well after introducing them as the season identity.
Cars are easy tho, and the mechanics they have are likely not going to stick around for another season. Any skill youve picked up using cars this season are likely going out the window next season.
I hated season 3 at first. After a couple of days, I got used to it. After a couple of weeks, I hated it again. All of the car weapons needs to go away. I've gotten plenty of wins that way but, I've also had my ass handed to me even more. I feel like Epic is just putting TOO MUCH STUFF in the game all at once. They need to tone it down a bit. Also, I haven't played Reload even ONCE because I'm Han Solo. SO ready for season 4.
I hadn’t played Fortnite in years, since the early days….started playing again about a month ago, and it’s so completely different, there are a lot of nice changes, and I like cars BUT really only to travel around, I used to just run around forever and rarely see anyone until it was too late (don’t be mean! I know I’m horrible at this game) but, the cars, and the magneto just become super OP and it makes me feel forced to also used cars and magneto just to try and counter. Last night I had a match and there were 14 people left, the storm was just a tiny circle and every single person was in a car and driving in a circle until someone randomly got out with magneto lol
The Magneto gauntlets absolutely ruined this season. Just like the avatar water element last season. It’s just so annoying that everyone has them come the last 2 circles.
I started playing in CH5S1, and the car thing took a bit to get used to, but I did. Then Wrecked came along and screwed it all up. Cars are OP, Magneto gloves OP, just ridiculous. I did use the cars and the gloves myself, but a victory like that seems cheap and weak. I have to admit though, you must be quick and creative to win against both, and in the past 2 weeks I finally got some victories against that crap. Many thanks to Jake for the tips that helped!
I didn’t like the season too. Cars and (Magneto) fists were overpowered, so I only played to level 150. As an 50 y/o 6 year long Fortnite experienced amateur player, I prefer shooter focused games. The skins were also disappointing. What I did like was the Metallica event, for being a metal fan. But next season horrifies me too: not a fan of Walt Disney and Marvel.
My big issue were the Mythics, and how overpowered they were. I've only been playing for just over a year, but I have always made it to most of the end games, with only 5 players left. This season, I've seen far more people with every mythic, and medalion winning matches. This season, I've actually had my best season, winning over 20% of my matches, but I would have won a ton more of them, if there were no mythics and medalions. I NEVER play to get the mythics, or medalions. I think that is LAME. This year, the Mythic Fist gave you almost unlimited mobility. The mythic crossbow was easily the most annoying weapon in the game, outside of the Magnito gloves. I don't even understand the reasoning on having Mythics. Fornite is just handing the best, most neorotic players, the best weapon in the game. If the mythic weapons were just rare and found in chests, then they would not be so bad.
Looking at the big picture... After Donald Mustard left Epic it became a trend to put overpowered items in the game.. Medallions, Water bending, Magneto, Gloves, Chains, Cars... Stay tuned for more overpowered weapons next season. Have you seen the trailer? It has great potential for it ;) I really enjoyed "Reload" because the game was balanced.. I wish reload was like battle royale with 100 people and the whole map.
If EMPs had been in the loot pool at launch it would have been far better. The bug was that EMP grenades didn't disable the turrets on cars and they needed to fix that.
W video Jake and I share a lot of your opinions on it. For me it was 1/10 on launch. 6/10 when emps and reload came along and is now a 3/10 since magneto came along. Will be very glad to see the back of it.
When I hop on to play Fortnite Zero Build, I want some close and skilled gunplay. What I don’t want is to die to some 10 year old that only has nitro fists and magneto power. This season you could easily win a game without firing a single bullet which is just absolutely absurd to me.
3/10 , it was awful but I didn’t mind the map. I think there’s so much mobility it’s ridiculous. Magnetos are broken and a training wheels weapon. Fortnite lost its identity this season. Going for medallions is draining and hard to loot once you’ve taken out the boss and lucky to not get third partied by 5 players.
This is the first full season of Fortnite I've ever played, literally played hundreds of matches (mostly ZB duos). I had a lot of fun for the most part, but quickly became disinterested with the Magneto gloves addition late in the season. I enjoyed all of the insane mobility and the chaos, but I did get tired of chasing people and getting spammed by Nitro Fists during the last few circles each match. Would love to see an emphasis on gunplay and positioning in the next season, but I think it will be more of the same. Which could be good, if the items aren't too broken :D Overall really looking forward to playing the new season.
Yes.. Yes it was! so did all my friends hardly play the game anymore even pro's I know. When Reload showed up then they got back on. It wasn't Battle Royale in my opinion and more like Twisted Metal and should have had a separate game mode for the game. Ranked was the only way to play and that was really dumb. if I am wrong why did they remove all the BS from Ranked. Nuff Said! Review should be a Big F and L for this Season. Medallions should be something that is super rare you get from a chest and maybe some matches don't even show up. I feel the game would be more fair then.
I skipped this season, being entirely honest. Edit: For context, I only ever played Fortnite with friends, literally emoting around the map, killing whoever managed to. Winning 2/15 games. Literally no one wanted to play the game this season man.
I'm a casual player, play a few hours a week and this season the only part of the game I spent any significant time on was reload because every time I played Battle Royal there was no fortnite going on, it was cars, then boogie bombs, then nitro and magneto fists. Reload was a lot closer to how I like to play
Magneto’s gloves demolished the player base. This is borderline overpowered item, the only counter is go away and reposition, if the enemy hits once or twice you’re 99.9% dead regardless on what you do. Once people realized duos/trios/squads it was a shit show, imagine a whole squad with gloves just using the item and deleting your squad mates in 1~2 seconds because of metal balls flying in your head.
This is probably the season where I not only didn’t enjoy playing but I never chased someone more then I did in this season there’s no point cars everywhere infinite reloading mobility and if they get infinite nitro or any medallion there not going to stop running
How bout make a "Wrecked Royale" for car lovers where you can earn crowns. But still keep the normal modes for everyone else. I know people who vehemently hate this car-centric season. Very divisive season imo
You were way too generous with that 6, I wouldn't even think about bumping the score up for Reload considering most players use it to stay away from the actual content of the season. Also, sorry to hear you were looking forward to a Fallout collab and instead we got Mad Max and a skin you wouldn't ever want to use
I started playing chapter 4 season 1 and I am a casual player. It’s the worst season by far. At first it was fun because it was so different but didn’t take long to become lame. The worst is squads with so many cars driving around. The good thing is for solos end game you don’t win with a car. I think spamming the gloves and magneto were worse than the cars, especially when emps were added.
I am a filthy casual. I've only been playing only since Zero Build and only put maybe 10 hrs a week...this season is been terrible. I've stopped playing until the new season.
I started playing Fortnite literally a week before this season started. Only got my wins thanks you Jake. Looking forward to learning what Fortnite is really about this weekend
The magneto gloves were the worst part of this season. Way too op. I stopped using them because it was too easy to kill people and I felt like a douchebag using them. Should've nerfed the damage in the 60 range
Really appreciate you taking the time to create a video about this with your opinion/review of the season. I agreed to a lot of the points. At first I did appreciate the season for how "different" it was due to the "car meta" phase. It was one of those changes that made you go, "wow this is different!". But over time, you just get so tired of how overpowered these cars were. I have never ever seen so many people in cars in my time with Fortnite lol. I knew they were busted when I was looting in the MIDDLE OF RUINED REELS. A God car comes driving through the walls and somehow ONE SHOTS ME. They then nerfed it a bit which was helpful, but I felt like they could've done a little more with that also. Instead, they just added additional weapons/tools in the game that I felt like helped, but didn't help. Like boogeybombs, magneto, etc. Because yes, now you have some counters for the cars, but now you have to worry about these additional gimmicky tools during fights as well lmao. Hoping cars will just be cars again next season and just used for another form of mobility/cover, rather than a whole weapon in itself. I found myself playing BR much less.

Yup. I've been calling it the Season of Running, heheh.
I hated the fists.
Spot on assessment!
the fists were ok. good mobility finally. but the magneto gloves holy shit that mythic is god awful. and we are getting more at least 4 more next season. getting sick of these overpowered items in a pvp mode
the cars should have been a Reload style mode, separate from normal BR because while they were super fun to mess with the first few days most fortnite players are not interested in car fighting every single game for an entire season
That kinda eliminates the theme of the season
All you had to do was carry emps and you can get people out the car
@@peytonspehn6291 not for the first 3 weeks
@@DevourFNSAltPoint being? The season's theme is the entire reason C5S3 had some of the lowest player counts of recent seasons ever. The point still stands that not everyone wants to play every single match as car-royale wether its the season's theme or not.
@@DevourFNSAltdoesnt matter
Also a casual and I could deal with the cars or fists once they got nerfed. I actually got pretty good at anti-car fighting. The magneto gloves, however, were game breakingly strong with no recourse. They work from a distance, almost can't miss and cause an unbelievable amount of damage.
Although I have very little reference to past seasons since I started playing the game about 5 days before the Greek season ended.
@@Dan-cm9owI’m sitting at 130 crowns and level 380ish. Don’t worry, magneto’s gauntlets are borderline OP.
If you’re fighting and the guy already hit once, gg and back to lobby. There’s nothing much you can do.
This. I was enjoying the game again before the Magneto Gloves broke everything. Too many endgames are just a bunch of people fisting up in the air and trying to Magneto each other.
Don't forget, they can splash damage through Bubble Shields.
Don’t forget it stops you on impact
Middle of this season played well. Specifically, post-car nerf and pre-Magneto gloves. My favorite season of Chapter 5, but it’s low on my list of seasons overall.
Agree 100%. I've only ever played Chapter 5 and I still think Season 2 was my favorite with the underpowered medallions and fun POIs, but I have really enjoyed the mobility in Season 3 (the cars somewhat, but very much with the fists and nitro and boost hoops).
This! I honestly loved the season, my only issue (although a big one) was those damn Magneto gloves.
@@JesterQueenAnne Agreed. Jake said it well when he mentioned post-car nerf and pre-Magneto was some of the most fun moments he had playing Fortnite, can attest to that as well. I didn't like Reload mode but I'm happy to see many people find it enjoyable.
@@JesterQueenAnne The gloves were stupid overpowered.
Yep, I died to those idiots gloves more than the cars. I absolutely refused to use them because of how spammy they are. @@drunkhusband6257
as a casual, i do hate the car being overly strong in this season
similar to you, i prefered more grounded gameplay
It got more balanced, but it was so annoying to die to them because it takes no skill and it is unsatisfying to win with them because of that. And this is coming from a causal
What a pathetic way to win, i'd rather have one win like that over 10 wins in a car
@@peho8206carry emps bro
4/10 the magneto ruined it but at least we have reload
That's what I did after i completed the magneto quests
Yup I like reload more once they drop magneto
bro i got chased for 10 minutes straight and got magneto’d
Like i almost broke my desk
0/10
I havnt played for weeks cuz of the magneto
Not sure why epic has this weird trend of adding op annoying stuff at the last quarter of the season. First waterbending, now magnito whats next?
The infinity gauntlet (again but not in an LTM this time) 😂
always gotta add something to help casuals get wins
I had no problem with the water bending
@@jermainejeyit’s not even hard to win lol
@LazyAlienMan1777 nobody said it was hard to win. It's just boring seeing the same lame, low skill items in end game
My friends & I actually strategized around the cars where we'd get one & add the mods we like (bullet proof tyres, grenade turret & spiked bumper) & then we'd have at least 1 person who isn't driving acting as a "vehicle support role" utilizing repair torches, shield bubbles & possibly nitro if you're not using a boss vehicle. You'd be surprised how easy it can be to survive vehicle fights & even defeat boss cars who aren't doing any of that. I'll admit it isn't as engaging as regular on foot fighting etc...but it does add an interesting element of team coordination & needing to learn strategies as a driver. (repair crates, gas stations & when to generally flee & take cover from a fight).
This season was borderline unplayable at some points and it's only gotten more stale. Every endgame is either: A Boss Vehicle, Magneto Hands or both. Praying for no more cars or OP gimic weapons but based off what you've said, it's going to be MORE of that.
Season Rating: 3/10
There won’t be strong cars anymore, but you can almost bet for sure there will be some retarded gimmick item since they’ve had one like every season for 2 years now. Always some mythic item doing like 150 damage through walls, its so cringe.
@@bryce56let's hope so bro
@@josheV3Hiii mate love your fn videos❤!!🔥
Even my hyper-casual brother was perplexed why we were suddenly winning so many pub games at the start of the car-royale season as long as we never exited the permanently nitroed self-repairing mythic vehicle. Later he learned to carry the repair torch but he is too attached to the vehicles to this day resulting in many games lost to people carrying EMP grenades. When I ping a good shotgun for him to take he replies: "No need I already have nitro fists."
lol playing against ppl like this before boogie bombs or emps made me so mad bc id run outta sprint and get slammed by a car (esp with the modded bumpers)
I basically quit fortnite for a good month bc it was so annoying and id rather play Minecraft

Horrible launch aside, Magneto def killed the vibe for the last half of the season. They could have atleast lowered the drop rate of they werent going to actually nerf it. Or have it be 1 per game so its valuable but still doesnt influence the entire game
I kept waiting for them to nerf it and they never did! Stupidest thing about this season.
@@micahgood1064 fr man. i waited for so long as well, but in the end they didnt even nerf/vault it. I thought it wouldnt take long just like the boogie bomb

@@josheV3Hiii mate love your fn content😲☺️
My wife decided she wanted to come play Fortnite cause lets be honest, shooting people sounds fun. (in a game)
This season, she was unable to enjoy that because you could literally not walk 2 minutes without getting killed by a car.
She is by all definitions a casual.
I'm no try-hard, but the amount of cars forced me to stop playing out of sheer boredom.
I play Fortnite to shoot, not drive people over.
I can play GTA for that.
While there were some interesting aspects of the season, overall it was a let down.
I only started playing again at the beginning of Chapter 5 when I discovered Zero Build was a thing (hadn't played since Chapter 1), but overall this was my least favorite season so far. And it's mostly because of the Magneto gloves, which I despise. I didn't mind the car-focus at the beginning, it definitely felt like a different game but I figured it was only going to last for a while so I enjoyed it for what it was. I have liked the increased mobility, too, but I wish the Nitro gauntlets were only a movement item. I don't really like melee weapons that throw your character around, they make everything feel less skill-based.
I 100% agree about the sweet-spot in the middle once EMPs were brought in. That was my favorite time to play this season. But once all the attacks became either someone flailing with a melee attack or Magneto spam, it really went downhill. Can't wait for those gloves to get vaulted.
I couldn’t agree more with your statement at 9:40, people no longer rely on skill as soon as you engage with someone they either nitro fist away or pull out the magnetos
You are very generous @evolvejake 😊 I would give the season 4/10 and only because Reload was launched. I love the game, but I believe I would have given up the game if Reload wasn’t added. I totally agree with Jake - I want to play Fortnite and for the game to stay 80 % the same from chapter to chapter and changes to made on the map and loot pool. The changes made this season meant that Fortnite became a completely different game; first a car game, then a game with tons of moronic OP weapons such as water bending, Magneto gloves and much more.
I am a casual who plays no build for the chiller vibes and I hated the cars. Honestly all the mobility options and cars made the game a sweat off 95% of the time. I play squads and trios the most and it was so hard to just play without a car, magneto, or the nitro medallion and gloves. Way too much power and speed to get across the map and overwhelm people. I definitely agree with the anti-car stuff, I absolutely needed to carry something 100% of the time. I want no cars (dirt bikes are way better for the game IMO), limited mobility options, absolutely no magneto gloves, personally would like no medallions and just a slower paced game
I'd argue "keep cars but NO CAR WEAPONS I'M SICK TO DEATH OF THE TURRETS AND THE BUMPERS." because then it's no longer "car meta" it's just "oh this is here as a good hiding spot for ZB and also mobility out of storm" like it was in the previous 2 seasons.
Though I do want dirtbikes back. I missed those to death like I missed the Nemesis AR.
I love how you specificly pointed out fights where people only fight from cars and just try to run away when you hit them with EMP not even trying to fight and how much they suck if they have no other option but to pull out a gun, spamming you with magmeto and nitro gloves. For someone like me who is actually trying to improve it's hard to deal with those players and it's just incredibly annoying
I played a good amount of seasons of zero build. I like the hammer, katana, and other mobility options we had, but I’m glad they shifted more into shockwaves and bunkers in the following seasons. My issue is definitely the cars. I stopped playing the game and haven’t touched it since. I just play overwatch now. Fortnite is not dead, of course, but I’d be back the next day if there wasn’t a strong car meta. I’d even prefer the formulaic play style of heading to bunkers and then fighting for island. It felt super skillful. Fortnite is losing that skillful aspect for me that makes the game enjoyable.
imo the launch of the season was fine and i found car combat another layer of skill, but the car nerfs were still needed. However, Magneto was easily the most annoying thing fortnite has ever made(i didn't play sX so maybe mech's were worse?) Can we talk about how the magneto didn't get nerfed the ENTIRE SEASON. The fall guys, Metallica, and pirate updates were all pretty good. Ngl for me at least Magneto dropped this from a 9/10 to a 5-7/10
Hard agree.
waterbending is definitely up there. I've noticed magneto is less accurate at stupid ranges unlike waterbending so I'd say waterbending just cause it was literally a sniper, smg, ar, and shotgun all in one package
@@Elixrfy True, but I'm a builds player so water bending wasn't that effective if you could just box up. And magneto when u hit someone their camera and movement is messed up so free kill, but for water you actually aimed like an op gun
The same ones who complain about the car nerfs and saying the season is ruined suck tbh. They can’t get many kills usually, even in their own lobbies and with the cars, fists, magneto, nitro they were finally able to get kills which made them enjoy it more. Next season I believe will be the same, crutch marvel items
@3:50 - Hard agree with this sentiment. "I want to play Fortnite with new POIs and new weapons."
Mobility got out of hand this season, that was the big red flag for me. It’s been trending in that direction for a while with mobile heals, infinite zero point dashes, but the nitro fists and cars this season took it to another level where it just felt like every gunfight took forever bc of escape option and was annoying as hell.
Hoping fortnite keeps reload a relatively consistent game mode- swap guns in and out like how theve been doing. Change Battle royal however they want as they already do, but give the consitent fortnite players a consistent gaming experience with reload.
As a causal, I retired this season. Hated the car meta and the different scopes, mags and stuff. They killed the game for me
Eh, the cars were pretty bad but there came to be plenty of counters for them.
The weapon mods have been here the whole chapter...not just season 3. 🤷♂ Fair enough on the cars, but the weapon mods are not unique/exclusive to this season.
@@RyanCogarI think he is saying the accumulation of more complicated weapons and gameplay has taken the fun out of it for casuals.
@@RyanCogar yeah I know. Hate them too though.
@@fbb5599 Fair enough I guess, I mean I hate the thermal scope existing/being on every floor loot AR it seems like...especially when it doesn't even work as a thermal (e.g seeing people through cover/bushes). But overall I far prefer the guns being projectile vs hitscan personally, & a lot less bloom involved too. Feels a lot more of an even playing field to me.
Cars were crap, just keep the basics of gun vs gun, also you never had to worry about the storm as you had overpowered mobility at all times.
Reload is the reason why Fortnite isn’t dead this season
Im an old CoD fan back from the MW2 days. I played the original Fortnite when it became popular before ninja and drake era. I never got into it because of all the building and I didn’t want to invest too much time learning how to play build wars in the endgame with mats. Now I have two boys 7 and 9 and they used their allowance money to buy their first battle pass. Because they were so into it they would ask me to play and I wasn’t aware of Zero Build, but once I started to play I soon realized how cheesy car wars was and I began to dislike the game again. But because my boys wanted to play all the time I became a casual because I liked the ZB aspect and began following you to learn how to get better. I would agree that your advice on learning to play without the cars has helped my game a lot, even though there are cheese items. We’re all looking forward to the new season tonight PST, finally getting passed the car Royale this season was.
At first the massive difference in gameplay between this season and others was too overwhelming. After they balanced the cars it was much better but I still thought they could have been balanced a bit more. Epic adding the boogie bombs was past annoying. Then they added the Magneto mythic…. Way too powerful and they never balanced it. For a month now I’ve been really sick of just being spammed by the Magneto mythic.
I’m afraid of what next season because of the amount of potentially OP mythic being added.
I want the game to have the guns power levels be a n par with anything else they put in the game.
so sorry for you now that the season has been out for 2 days and the amount of op mythic bulls did not stop. a flying war machine set user with a shield is the new magneto, car, and fists combined in one
I’m a casual player I did not enjoy that the cars were overpowered. I also think both sets of gloves should have been nerfed would have made this season way more enjoyable
6/10 the flexibility and skill expression of the thunder burst continues to really carry the gunplay of this chapter
5 out of 10. For most of the reasons you mentioned. I was not big on the desert biome either. The POIs were just meh. Sandy Steppes was ok. Never balancing the Magneto Gloves was a huge mistake and sucked all of the fun out of the latter part of this season. Lootpool other than that was fine. Nitro Fists, Cactuses and the Combat AR were all W's. Sniper could have been better. Pirates collab was mediocre but decent. Meh. 5
The sniper is really good if you can get used to the absurd drop it has, and having comparable damage on cars to the magneto item makes it a halfway decent car counter from a distance.
@@tmoney1487Agreed. I use the sniper regularly. It absolutely destroys cars. Like you said the bullet drop on it is ridiculous. After the Reaper, I don't know if any Sniper will feel adequate.
This season was the definition of growing pains for the new creative lead. The last season I remember being this counter to normal Fortnite was the UFO season, but those were easier to fight than the cars were.
Its beyond me that epic has literally thousands of employees working together, putting their brain power together, and still cant figure out that majority of people hate broken ass vehicles. Did they learn nothing from Mechs and how it made many quit the game? And please stop with broken ass items that do 150 damage through walls. Theres been some sort of item like that nearly every season for 2 years. They must want to kill their game. That or they are thinking about the “future generation” by appealing to the 6 year old Timmys
2/10 for me this season was absolute trash, Fortnite reload is fun but if your playing with a random teammate they usually just push teams with no shield or loot and get eliminated over and over
I personally hate any melee or superpower thing in this game. So next season is gonna be annoying af. At least vehicles your limited by the things you can do. When you give powers and stuff people can build, use guns, use movement items, and then also use an op power. There’s no counter play.
Maybe that's why they made a reload mode. That mode still has mostly core weapons with core mechanics. I mean, I know they copied off of warzone rebirth Island, however, to me it's better than the normal Battle Royal in zero build.
They made reload because the player numbers dropped significantly
This was genuinely my least favorite season of fortnite ever. I've played since season 3 chapter 1 and have had a couple of breaks here and there where I've not enjoyed a season, but pretty consistently played with my trio for 6 years. The other 2 of my trio have had little breaks here and there too, over the years, but this season is the first time all 3 of us have genuinely just not enjoyed the game and all of us have basically not played in the last month or two. That says it all, for me. It just didn't feel like fortnite anymore, between the overpowered cars, magneto, gloves etc it just felt like tacky stupid items - it's gone so far away from what it used to be. Hopefully next season is vastly better, but I'm not holding much hope after I watched the trailer.
Do y‘all remember how we complained about the auto shotty being too easy? If only we knew what was coming..
"It's my review, I don't care" made me chuckle.
You already know there will be some timmy's in comments about Reload not being season 3 😂😂😂
Preach Trish
I actually loved the pace of the previous season. I miss that in the new one.
REALLY hope these Marvel items are balanced and not just multiple magneto variants at once
😂
After Donald Mustard left, Epic said, “let’s throw some shit at the wall and see if it sticks.” 😂 ….Disney shows up.
The season was decent, but it’s sad how all over the place it was. For me, the TTK and RNG weren’t very compensating to this season/weapons and that’s why so many people were able to run away with minuscule health. It’s like why don’t AR’s feel decent at all? I always end up using the burst smg. Weird. Hopefully weapons get to shine more next season with some good gun fights.
As a person that loves cars, plays racing games, is the designated driver on our team (lol), I was exhausted with them weeks ago. Absolutely hated the Magneto gloves. Way too many features as a weapon. Shield, destroys cars and whatever you think you're hiding behind, damages you while in a car, and absolutely wrecks you if you get caught in the open with Nitro fists. Worst season? No, not even close. There were a lot of things I thought were cool but ready for it to be over.
If you didn't get any mobility items you'd soon find yourself getting absolutey railed by people zipping around
Yeah, you stood almost no chance if you didn't have nitro gloves.
as a complete noob (I started playing at the end of last season) I hated this season. obviously not enough for me to stop playing but the cars were for one, annoying af to play against but also boring to play with tbh
and the magneto gloves....god those things have to go
My counter to boss cars for bosses that didn't roam, was just not taking them. Was it a dick move? Probs. Viable strategy? Oh HELL YES. Also, as a Marvel Vs. Capcom player, the "Magneto Power" gave me PTSD of opponents using Magnetic Tempest on me. Also PTSD of fighting Mags at the end of Children Of the Atom.
I liked this season a lot. The magneto fists can bugger off
The start of CH5 S3 was straight up awful. I vividly remember one end game where there were 2 boss cars riding around the end circle. Glad that the boss cars got nerfed and the emps come back during the season. Every player bum rushing Megalo Don's medallion, running away and not fighting is not the essence of "Fortnite" I had in mind. Reload Mode coming into this season was a breath of fresh air in my opinion and felt "grounded", so to speak. I give CH5 S3 a 5.5/10
I'm someone who really enjoyed the car combat but even I couldn't stand how OP the cars were at the beginning lol. Once they brought EMPs in, I greatly enjoyed this season since I couldn't just rely on the cars for a win, and each match felt fresh. And then the magneto gloves came...Couldn't stand them lmao but near the end it felt like they did become easy-ish to counter (still OP tho). I've only played since Chp4 S4, and overall I think this Chp5 S3 has been my favourite by far, in that sweet middle spot of the season at least. Some minor additions that I also thought were fantastic were the wastelander challenges and the viewing of accolades.
100% agree with this review. Started playing fortnite with zero build and this was definitely my least favorite season.
And the steady increase of cheaters in the game is annoying. Maybe that is a feature as you get into higher ranked lobbies but it got to a level where you just get killed to these idiots way too often.
RELOAD ABSOLUTELY CARRIED THIS SEASON
I've played Reload only before getting the first win and that unique umbrella)
Reload only sucks when you have ass teammates(I'm one of them) but golly gee that's the most fun I've had in fortnite In a mighty long time. Coz you know, you shoot...in a shooting game?who woulda thought.
W reload!!
@@josheV3W you bro loved your fn reload video WOW!!😮❤
Big cap… reload is boring af… and the numbers prove you wrong… ZB BR and Builds had higher numbers than reload the whole time except for the first 2-3 days reload dropped
I feel you are very generous, I would give 4/10 myself, but I'm a relatively new player. It felt like a big risk for them to take the game in such a different vibe, but I will be interested to see what the next season will hold.
Started playing in Chapter 1 Season 3, this was the first season I just couldn't bring myself to play. Hoping the next is better but I don't have high hopes based on what I've seen.
I have a feeling that they made this season horrible on purpose to hype the marvel one
marvel season doesn't look/gameplay looks like Fortnite. Just like jake said just change 20% of the game like New weapons/location n maybe new mech...
I think so too
Why would they do that lol that makes no sense
@@josheV3your right oh and btw love your fn videos🔥❤️
You're a smart person to question things. Disney practically runs Epic now.
I don’t want to play a driving combat game so I was a little checked out of this season, and didn’t play it anywhere near as often as what I did previously. If I wanted a driving combat game I’d play something like Twisted Metal instead!! The art design was pretty cool in some instances though so even though the gameplay wasn’t for me, I did like some of the artistic choices.
I feel like with any spammy overpowered weapon, you fix it by giving it x amount of charges opposed to infinite use recharge cooldown. I’d like to see fists have infinite mobility use but maybe only 10 melee hits
Definitely the least fun I’ve had playing Fortnite, but I’ve only played for a couple of years
Same but for about 7 months. I had more fun with C5S2 despite its problems, and DEFINITELY more fun C5S1.
I also had the most fun during the post car nerf, EMPs in, pre Magneto gloves time-period. I was playing a ton because I was on summer break from work, but as soon as I went back to work two weeks ago haven't felt like playing at all.
I'm 100% a casual player who hated Car Royale at the start of the season, and I completely agree with your take on the beginning of the season
W video, I actually commented on yesterday's(?) video requesting more subjective-style commentary. I assume this video was conceived and probably filmed before then, but a fun coincidence for me nonetheless.
Its the first time since i started playing in Chapter 3 that ive stopped playing rbe game for weeks on end. Bought the battle pass the day it dropped, ive got no care or interest in unlocking the cosmetics i dont have
I got into Fortnite when zero build came out. And this season is the season I just plainly stopped.
2/10 for me. literally my least fav season of fn so far. i actually quit playing over a month ago. also not looking forward to an entire season of no skill OP marvel mythics
Feeling like you NEED a car with attatchments to win really ruins the experience for me.
Collabs are never balanced. They are either gamebreaking or boring. I am not sure they really can be anything else. Fans of the IP want it to effect the game, people who aren't fans, just want to play Fortnite. So its either--Darth Vader lands at some out of the way island and has the only lightsaber in the game...25%% of players complain (cause they like star wars), 75% players ignore it OR Magneto gauntlets drop from every 2nd chest, they are completely broken and make other players lag when you shoot them, and can damage them through most types of cover...75% of players complain because its annoying AF, 25% of players love it (cause they like to win and don't care how).
I think they had in their plans to add the EMPs at a certain time to space out "car breaking" items.
That's why weeks later they added the sniper, later they added Magneto's item, then added the minigun to seem like the island is fighting back against the cars and Meglo Don.
They prob brought back boogies to make sure people didn't quit playing all together before their planned item drops
I sum it up as the most annoying. The AOE, damage count, and stunlock for the magneto is just baffling. The majority of the map being functionally abandoned, the loot pool constantly being in shambles, the pirates collab was super underwhelming (and it seems quite a few people didnt have enough time to work through the mini pass), and the shotgun blanks coming back with a vengeance. All in all, it felt like Epic was running on autopilot to make cheap money.
I forgot about the medallions. I'm not a fan of those either, especially with the number of perks they each gave out this season. I don't care much for anything that's intended to give a brainless advantage. It'll almost never end up in the inventory of a player who would "need" an advantage to level the playing field. For example, a mythic weapon still requires decent aim/mechanics, but endless nitro/ammo/shield-regen PLUS mythic weapons/mobility is a brain dead move by the devs. Pure cheese.
I wanna say it was good, but also stopped playing shortly after the Magneto gloves were added. I was never good at using cars so I appreciated that they forced me to figure out those mechanics and then made them not necessary with the addition of boogie bombs, then emp nades. Both of those are also useful in non-car fights so I didn’t take issue with needing to carry them, made me rethink my typical loadout. I always appreciate change and they weaned us off cars pretty well after introducing them as the season identity.
Cars are easy tho, and the mechanics they have are likely not going to stick around for another season. Any skill youve picked up using cars this season are likely going out the window next season.
I hated season 3 at first. After a couple of days, I got used to it. After a couple of weeks, I hated it again. All of the car weapons needs to go away. I've gotten plenty of wins that way but, I've also had my ass handed to me even more. I feel like Epic is just putting TOO MUCH STUFF in the game all at once. They need to tone it down a bit. Also, I haven't played Reload even ONCE because I'm Han Solo. SO ready for season 4.
I hadn’t played Fortnite in years, since the early days….started playing again about a month ago, and it’s so completely different, there are a lot of nice changes, and I like cars BUT really only to travel around, I used to just run around forever and rarely see anyone until it was too late (don’t be mean! I know I’m horrible at this game) but, the cars, and the magneto just become super OP and it makes me feel forced to also used cars and magneto just to try and counter. Last night I had a match and there were 14 people left, the storm was just a tiny circle and every single person was in a car and driving in a circle until someone randomly got out with magneto lol
Chapter 5 in general has been the worst season I've played tbh
The Magneto gauntlets absolutely ruined this season. Just like the avatar water element last season. It’s just so annoying that everyone has them come the last 2 circles.
As a casual player I really hated car meta, like literally no real gun fights anyone can kill you with a car. I didn't even play this season
I started playing in CH5S1, and the car thing took a bit to get used to, but I did. Then Wrecked came along and screwed it all up. Cars are OP, Magneto gloves OP, just ridiculous. I did use the cars and the gloves myself, but a victory like that seems cheap and weak. I have to admit though, you must be quick and creative to win against both, and in the past 2 weeks I finally got some victories against that crap. Many thanks to Jake for the tips that helped!
I didn’t like the season too. Cars and (Magneto) fists were overpowered, so I only played to level 150. As an 50 y/o 6 year long Fortnite experienced amateur player, I prefer shooter focused games. The skins were also disappointing. What I did like was the Metallica event, for being a metal fan. But next season horrifies me too: not a fan of Walt Disney and Marvel.
My big issue were the Mythics, and how overpowered they were. I've only been playing for just over a year, but I have always made it to most of the end games, with only 5 players left. This season, I've seen far more people with every mythic, and medalion winning matches. This season, I've actually had my best season, winning over 20% of my matches, but I would have won a ton more of them, if there were no mythics and medalions. I NEVER play to get the mythics, or medalions. I think that is LAME. This year, the Mythic Fist gave you almost unlimited mobility. The mythic crossbow was easily the most annoying weapon in the game, outside of the Magnito gloves. I don't even understand the reasoning on having Mythics. Fornite is just handing the best, most neorotic players, the best weapon in the game. If the mythic weapons were just rare and found in chests, then they would not be so bad.
Simply just praying for a more boots on the ground season. Not all of this flying through the air with various ridiculous weapons/tools
Me too but it being Marvel themed seems like we will be getting even more OP weapons and lots of gimmick weapons/mobility items.
Looking at the big picture...
After Donald Mustard left Epic it became a trend to put overpowered items in the game.. Medallions, Water bending, Magneto, Gloves, Chains, Cars...
Stay tuned for more overpowered weapons next season. Have you seen the trailer? It has great potential for it ;)
I really enjoyed "Reload" because the game was balanced.. I wish reload was like battle royale with 100 people and the whole map.
If EMPs had been in the loot pool at launch it would have been far better. The bug was that EMP grenades didn't disable the turrets on cars and they needed to fix that.
W video Jake and I share a lot of your opinions on it. For me it was 1/10 on launch. 6/10 when emps and reload came along and is now a 3/10 since magneto came along. Will be very glad to see the back of it.
9:05 bros fucking name is "You're Dead" but he did not try to shoot you a SINGLE time
What a garbage Season man, I'm so glad we're free...
Those type of players who emote over your dead body for 2 minutes when they spam you with nitro or magneto gloves like they did something
@@peho8206 They're in for a rude awakening if the Mythics next Season aren't as OP as the crap this Season had lol
When I hop on to play Fortnite Zero Build, I want some close and skilled gunplay. What I don’t want is to die to some 10 year old that only has nitro fists and magneto power. This season you could easily win a game without firing a single bullet which is just absolutely absurd to me.
The number of times I lost at endgame to a boss car/fists and noticed that the only weapon they had was gray...Honestly, fuck this season.
3/10 , it was awful but I didn’t mind the map. I think there’s so much mobility it’s ridiculous. Magnetos are broken and a training wheels weapon. Fortnite lost its identity this season. Going for medallions is draining and hard to loot once you’ve taken out the boss and lucky to not get third partied by 5 players.
This is the first full season of Fortnite I've ever played, literally played hundreds of matches (mostly ZB duos). I had a lot of fun for the most part, but quickly became disinterested with the Magneto gloves addition late in the season. I enjoyed all of the insane mobility and the chaos, but I did get tired of chasing people and getting spammed by Nitro Fists during the last few circles each match. Would love to see an emphasis on gunplay and positioning in the next season, but I think it will be more of the same. Which could be good, if the items aren't too broken :D Overall really looking forward to playing the new season.
Yes.. Yes it was! so did all my friends hardly play the game anymore even pro's I know. When Reload showed up then they got back on. It wasn't Battle Royale in my opinion and more like Twisted Metal and should have had a separate game mode for the game. Ranked was the only way to play and that was really dumb. if I am wrong why did they remove all the BS from Ranked. Nuff Said! Review should be a Big F and L for this Season. Medallions should be something that is super rare you get from a chest and maybe some matches don't even show up. I feel the game would be more fair then.
The new season is awful you can not play a game without kids spamming with the war machine mythics
I skipped this season, being entirely honest. Edit: For context, I only ever played Fortnite with friends, literally emoting around the map, killing whoever managed to. Winning 2/15 games. Literally no one wanted to play the game this season man.
I'm a casual player, play a few hours a week and this season the only part of the game I spent any significant time on was reload because every time I played Battle Royal there was no fortnite going on, it was cars, then boogie bombs, then nitro and magneto fists. Reload was a lot closer to how I like to play
This season was absolute dogwater. Worst one since I came back to the game in C3S2.
Magneto’s gloves demolished the player base. This is borderline overpowered item, the only counter is go away and reposition, if the enemy hits once or twice you’re 99.9% dead regardless on what you do.
Once people realized duos/trios/squads it was a shit show, imagine a whole squad with gloves just using the item and deleting your squad mates in 1~2 seconds because of metal balls flying in your head.
This is probably the season where I not only didn’t enjoy playing but I never chased someone more then I did in this season there’s no point cars everywhere infinite reloading mobility and if they get infinite nitro or any medallion there not going to stop running
How bout make a "Wrecked Royale" for car lovers where you can earn crowns. But still keep the normal modes for everyone else. I know people who vehemently hate this car-centric season. Very divisive season imo
You were way too generous with that 6, I wouldn't even think about bumping the score up for Reload considering most players use it to stay away from the actual content of the season.
Also, sorry to hear you were looking forward to a Fallout collab and instead we got Mad Max and a skin you wouldn't ever want to use
I started playing chapter 4 season 1 and I am a casual player. It’s the worst season by far. At first it was fun because it was so different but didn’t take long to become lame. The worst is squads with so many cars driving around. The good thing is for solos end game you don’t win with a car.
I think spamming the gloves and magneto were worse than the cars, especially when emps were added.
I am a filthy casual. I've only been playing only since Zero Build and only put maybe 10 hrs a week...this season is been terrible. I've stopped playing until the new season.
I started playing Fortnite literally a week before this season started. Only got my wins thanks you Jake. Looking forward to learning what Fortnite is really about this weekend
The magneto gloves were the worst part of this season. Way too op. I stopped using them because it was too easy to kill people and I felt like a douchebag using them. Should've nerfed the damage in the 60 range
Really appreciate you taking the time to create a video about this with your opinion/review of the season. I agreed to a lot of the points. At first I did appreciate the season for how "different" it was due to the "car meta" phase. It was one of those changes that made you go, "wow this is different!". But over time, you just get so tired of how overpowered these cars were. I have never ever seen so many people in cars in my time with Fortnite lol. I knew they were busted when I was looting in the MIDDLE OF RUINED REELS. A God car comes driving through the walls and somehow ONE SHOTS ME. They then nerfed it a bit which was helpful, but I felt like they could've done a little more with that also. Instead, they just added additional weapons/tools in the game that I felt like helped, but didn't help. Like boogeybombs, magneto, etc. Because yes, now you have some counters for the cars, but now you have to worry about these additional gimmicky tools during fights as well lmao. Hoping cars will just be cars again next season and just used for another form of mobility/cover, rather than a whole weapon in itself. I found myself playing BR much less.
yo why is meowscles behind you flexxin the biceps???
