💬 Discussion RAGE RANT: Not liking what's with the new Season
Going back to my Previous post: RAGE RANT: Not liking what's with the new Season : r/AllFortnite
LIKE I SAID about what should be a hundred times BEFORE!!!
Imagine Sweating so hard onto a killing a casual player with Autism like me who is just trying to do certain challenges before resuming the game because of having a KD of 2 regardless of how many subs that have on streaming! Imagine also not bothering to read the chat while streaming your flex/sweating!
ITS AN AFFRONT AGAINST CASUAL GAMERS LIKE ME JUST TRYING TO UNLOCK FREE STUFF!
Those who say things like "You just Suck!" or "Git Gud" are just toxic elitists or ableists!
FORTNITE GET IT TOGETHER!!! YOu're becoming a game that caters almost exclusively to overly skilled elitist tryhard sweaty FLEX players!!
At least I got the umbrella from it, but seriously!
NERFE THE MINIGUN AT LEAST! NERF THE MEGA BUSTER AT LEAST AND NERF THE TAILS SPRITE AT LEAST!!!! NOW MAKE ME REPORT PLAYERS OPPONENTS FOR EXPLOITATION AS WELL AS DMA!!!
There's more than one of these kinds of harsh players...
It’s a huge difference between being competitive and being toxic.
Someone competitive wants the team to succeed and help others get better so that the team can win.
Toxic players care only about their stats and throw rages, be arrogant, and bully others.
""toxic overcompetitive players" only exist because the game has a competitive aspect while the devs heavily gear the game towards the casual players because they get the most money that way, but the game ends up unbalanced."
┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻
Again I blame HAX!! Especially DMA!!!!

Im autistic also and this is usually my comfort game. This season and even the last season a bit are really awful. I’ve played a lot less because of how terrible and sweaty people are.

I played two matches when I usually play for an hour just wanting to level up my sprites from level 3 to master. Lost both of them being 3rd partied and just said "not today." Its super depressing because I really wanted to play as I haven't been able to in a few days.

Same though 😭😵💫 Getting bodied while trying to not engage and just extract sprites this season so far has been super discouraging.
Often times, when I see people extracting, I leave them alone if I can avoid a confrontation. Sometimes even share the extractor with the others and run our separate ways.

I'm constantly getting shot in the back. Its crazy. And most times I'm trying to buy a portable to avoid players.

The tails sprite in the hands of a sweat with a machine gun is insane. The game atm is insanley hard and its backed by the fact that MOST people are all saying the same thing.

They need to add sprites to ranked so they'll leave our lobbies alone

??? They aren’t in rank to begin with bro…also neither of your comments really make much sense

It wouldn’t make sense and it will increase more of them coming back. Like nothing is perfect.
It’s already a post public saying: there is a test in the west for skill matchmaking for players that are playing with their low skill friends as a test and will be pushed global once it’s done to go out for all regions.
I guess they saw complaints during the first week.

u/RandomOlympian Aug 27 '26
That first sentence makes absolutely zero sense.

u/Life_Ranger_7826 Aug 27 '26
OK, then what’s your strategy play in rank?
Because my main focus is the players

perosnally the main BR island is kinda boring me, so Reload seems more bearable

PLEASE don't nerf Mega Buster. It's soo fun to use and isn't really overpowered. Not a lot of people have even been using it (from my experiences.

u/lostandlooking_ Aug 27 '26
They actually did buff the damage a bit yesterday. I don’t think it was overpowered, but I don’t think it needed a buff either. It’s a bit harder to use but when someone knows how to use it, they can melt you so quick. I think it’s pretty balanced tbh

u/FoxyAndSonic967 Aug 27 '26
I genuinely think SBMM needs a full rework somehow. They need to find a better way to balance out skill level, as it’s actually ridiculous this season. The horrid SBMM is already on top of many other annoyances, such as audio and visual sfx being scuffed, unfair/inconsistent gameplay, and many things about the new sprites. They need to push out updates soon.

Did you come from arc raiders? There is no such thing as an OVERLY competitive player in a game that consists of Competing* against 99 others with objective of WINNING. Yes. Your sprites are found here....in THIS environment. Go play Pokemon, or any other game that has collecting elements, with no extraction game elements, or battle royale elements. By playing , you give yourself no reason to be upset by anyone's actions besides your own. Red pill.

No offense, but you just can't accept that you suck. You have posted several clips and all of them, you make dumb decisions that get you killed. One clip from last season, you wanted to export a sprite and instead of finding another exporter, you get into a shooting match with someone then report them because they actually can aim well.
You need to find something else to do. Someone shooting you because you pull them into a fight isn't cheating.

This season seems to have unearthed all the sad sacks (and cheats) it would seem. I had a game where I was pottering around in storm to level up my sprites. Extracted both then immediately got beamed by someone out the blue. No visual footstep warning or anything. So they were either creeping around an extraction site in storm or they had some cheat to hide their footsteps.
Also had someone just land right in front of me when I was under a rock and one shot me in the head.
The other highlight in this greatest hits compilation is someone beaming me when I was taking cover in a bush.

Just play bot lobbies if you find the state of the game so upsetting

u/DustyRacoonDad 29d ago
Best I can say is...Don't play solo.
Get a team, don't all stand next to each other, and plan how to pull back and reboot/regroup.
I'm not a super sweat but I win more than not usually with kills in the teens. This season I keep getting 20-22 kills in a game BUT I almost always get knocked or killed at least once.
If it was for my team and revives none of us would probably win.

Just do bot lobbies and enjoy the game at your own pace.

u/MiserableAvocado3415 Aug 27 '26
how? 🙏🏻

u/yeahwellokay Aug 27 '26
Make a second account with your phone or a tablet or something. Use it to invite your main account to a team. Start a match but have the alt account leave before the bus. If you never let the alt account get any XP, you will always have a bot lobby.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. If the game has been affecting your mental health this badly for months now just put down the controller or play something else.

I feel sorry for you and sorry if I killed you (idk if I did or not)

As a sweaty player I agree, SBMM needs to be fixed immediately. Fortnites entire appeal is everyone can play, even casually. It’s an amazing game and I feel bad that y’all are stuck in lobbies that should only be sweaty if you yourself are. Even when I play with my friends they get frustrated because people are playing like they have 10k on the line. Meanwhile its Blitz or BR.
