Hopped on to knock out all the remaining challenges.
Team Rumble is full of nothing but sweats now. Dunno if it's a result of sbmm scaring people out of core modes into Rumble, an end of season thing, some combination of the two or something else but goddamn. Played like 4 or 5 games and every match almost every time I died people were emoting, teabagging, 360 no-scoping etc. Had TWO games in a row where there were multiple people staying just outside the circle *in the storm* specifically blocking off multiple people trying to get a recording that was just outside the circle in Gotham. Played a few solo matches, and I'm pretty awful (3 solo wins since season 3, I think I barely have a 1.0 k/d?) and it was all sweats. Like I was doing okay most of the time, but from the absolute get-go everyone was in super serious mode and there were no scrubs.
Season 11 is gonna have to be something real special to get me back on board I think. I hate sbmm in core modes, even as the bad player they're trying to cater to; the reason I like BR games is the total roll of the dice every game. If I wanted to sweat nonstop every game I would be playing Arenas, or honestly a ranked mode in a different game; Fortnite changes so often that the though of grinding out and trying to git good at it like I would most other games is hilarious to me. And if Rumble or whatever big team mode is gonna be full of sweats now because they can't just clap most people in core modes then I don't want to play that anymore either. I feel like I'm straddling a weird line where I'm not super casual/bad/5 years old, but I'm also not good enough to hang with the good build/edit people, and I'm unhappy about the super frequent changes/nerfs/location changes so I don't feel any motivation to try to actually grind to break through that next level. The fact that it's forced crossplatform sbmm is also insane; I looked at who killed me in every solo match I played and it was a PC player every time (I'm on PS4), and god help the kids playing on Switch with the framerate/tech disadvantage.
I really really love a lot of things about Fortnite, but they totally shit the bed this season IMO. Plus too many seasons of *too* many changes and gimmicks for my liking. I'm still gonna be there for the event on Sunday, and I will still check out season 11 because there's no reason not to and I want to be impressed, but I think I may be about done here. I honestly hope they surprise me.
