Epic Games made the controversial decision to nerf Turbo Build in update 10.20 and was quickly met with a ton of backlash regarding the move from both competitive and casual players alike.
On August 27, the Fortnite developer explained all of the reasons the nerfs were made, which at least gave players an idea of why it was done, even if they didn’t agree with them.
The changes were eventually reverted back to normal with some smaller changes made instead.

Epic Games caught a lot of heat for their changes, so in their revert, they revealed the time between placing builds was being changed back to 0.005 seconds from 0.15 seconds. It may seem like that was just a minor change but it ended up being major and players noticed immediately.
However, some of the changes they wanted to add in were included, such as eliminating the need for low ping by implementing a coin flip for wall taking. This was met with some controversy but nothing close to the time changes.
Players can build normally now.Nevertheless, whatever problems players were running into should be fixed now with the hotfix. Epic says they will be adding in more permanent changes with the upcoming client update.
