A shitstorm is raging against the football skins in Fortnite . We tell you what players hate about these skins.
These are the skins: Since mid-February, the football skins have been available for purchase in Fortnite again. These skins were first released for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and are available again in Fortnite. They returned to the shop on February 16.
This is the problem: As the US site Polygon explains, many players now see a problem with these skins. For them, this outfit represents the new “Try-Hard Skin” and stands for aggressive gameplay. A shitstorm against the football players broke out on Twitter.
That’s why players have a problem with the skin
That’s why the skin is hated: The football players were particularly popular among many YouTubers and streamers. Therefore, many fans also emulated their idols and purchased the outfit.
The prejudice is: Players now want to prove that they are just as good in Fortnite as the streamers. Anyone wearing a football skin is determined to get every possible kill. Aggressive gameplay is the consequence.
It can be assumed that when one sees such a skin, they will also be attacked. At least that’s what some players claim.
This is what the players say: On Twitter, there are real hate messages directed at the wearers of the football skins. We present you some highlights:
Football players in Fortnite are the new John Wicks
They are not the first skins: This kind of hate towards skins is not new. The John Wick skin from Season 3 received similar hate. This skin could only be obtained if you played a lot. The John Wick was one of the first “Try-Hard Skins” in Fortnite.
Season 8 is just around the corner! Check out the first teaser for the new season here:
