In Fortnite: Battle Royale, it is significantly harder for pros like Ninja and NICKMERCS to farm epic win streaks. The community has become really good and resilient.
This is the situation: In streams, popular Fortnite streamers Ninja and NICKMERCS recently commented on their tough times in Fortnite. Just like in any shooter, the skill level has noticeably increased. Fortnite has been on the market for over a year, and the average player base has significantly improved.
20-Kill Streams Are Now Something Special
This is how good the players have become: Ninja noted in his stream that players have continuously improved. There are still extremely good, talented players who shoot and build significantly better than the rest.
That is talent, but through constant practice, a large part of the players has also noticeably improved. They make the right decisions more often and react more precisely to tactical situations.
That’s why 20 Kills are now something special: NICKMERCS expressed the situation even more clearly. The 100 Thieves pro used to regularly farm over 20 kills. That was nothing special; he didn’t even bother to upload such gameplay to YouTube.
Now a 20 kill run is a small sensation that would definitely be posted on YouTube. Because the community has become so resilient and experienced that you can’t just farm them anymore.
The community is no longer a flock of sheep: According to NICKMERCS, 99 percent of players didn’t even build in the past; today it’s a completely different situation. The times when pros could wreak havoc among inexperienced players seem to be over.
The “herd” has probably evolved from obedient sheep into resilient rams that no longer want to be taken down easily.
A similar situation has also been noticed by our author Robert. He believes that as a “noob,” he is now clearly outnumbered.
