The battlefield in Fortnite is a lot more hectic, but its more of a controlled-chaos since players have gotten better.For NICKMERCS, the competitiveness has dwindled the possibilities of situations where someone can earn 20 or more kills in a game because of how far the average user has come in Fortnite.
“The average Fortnite player is way better than they used to be. There was a time when 99% of Fortnite players didn’t even build.” NICKMERCSsaid. “… I used to be able to get 20 kill wins every stream. But now, getting a 20 kill win is YouTube worthy, that’s big.”

“There’s always going to be that incredible builder or shooter,” Ninja said. “You can not be as talented as somebody at shooting or building, but if you make the right decisions and rotate, you can be one of the best players in the game”
The game isn’t lacking in users and as long as it remains popular Fortnite will actively enjoy an increasingly competitive fan-base.
