Streamer TimTheTatman shows in a video how strong the mechs in Fortnite are. He eliminates opponents without looking at his monitor.
Who is it about? In the Fortnite community, Tim “TimTheTatman” Betar is well known. Almost 4 million people follow him on Twitch.tv, his YouTube account has 1.6 million subscribers. Often, he plays Fortnite with other well-known streamers like Ninja.
What did the streamer do? In one of his streams, TimTheTatman showcased how strong the new mechs in Fortnite are. These are vehicles reminiscent of Transformers. Equipped with deadly weapons, players can enter the devices and use their weapons. Firing strong rocket salvos is possible. Streamer Tfue deeply despises the mechs.
While Tim was playing with his colleagues SypherPK, Fearitself, and MoNsTcR, the streamer grabbed a B.I.E.S.T mech. To prove that the parts are overpowered, he deliberately made his game harder. He turned off his monitor, saying, “let’s see how many kills I can get like this.”
“You see, I have my monitor turned off now,” Tim said to the chat as he turned the black monitor towards the camera. He then only followed the voice commands of his teammates.
“Now charge up and aim at the ground,” said one of his teammates. He took out the first opponent after a rocket salvo rained down on him. Another teammate then fell victim to another blind-fired rocket salvo.
The next player made it harder for the streamer. He built some structures and sheltered behind them. Tim’s next rocket salvo missed its target. Under constant voice commands from his teammates, the streamer fired another salvo while flying diagonally forward.
As a result, he ultimately managed to wipe out the entire enemy squad. TimTheTatman was able to eliminate three players with a mech in Fortnite, even though his monitor was turned off.
This is the problem with mechs in Fortnite: The mechs have been in Fortnite since Season X and are being controversially discussed in the community. Many say the parts are just way too “op”. The RemoveTheMech hashtag also trended.
“I was there. It was just as ridiculous as it seemed. He wasn’t even given good voice commands. He just held down the left mouse button and shook his head. He wiped out an entire team that built and edited, playing the game as it is meant to be played. This is just poor management by Epic Games. Nerf it. […],” writes TheRealCRex on Reddit.
Epic Games has already addressed the wishes of many players who would prefer the mechs to be removed. The executives say that this way everyone has a chance to win. And that’s how it should be:
