Fortnite: Battle Royale faces competition from the surprise hit Apex Legends. Top Fortnite player Tfue believes he knows the reasons and has advice for Epic on how to turn things around.
Why does Tfue think Fortnite is at a disadvantage against Apex? Tfue is the best Fortnite player in the world and has previously played various battle royale games. He knows his stuff.
Therefore, he believes he understands where Fortnite’s current problems lie and why Apex is currently experiencing such a surge in fans.
It’s mainly because Fortnite is too complex and stressful for newcomers and casuals.
“The way these kids build in Fortnite today… Motherf**ker, if some lazy casual gamer comes into the game, they get walled in, trapped, and shot. How is that supposed to be fun for them?”
The skill gap, meaning the difference in skill between veterans and newcomers, has become too large in Fortnite.
In Apex, however, it’s different. There’s no building, and the game is still new and fresh; you just pick up a weapon and start shooting. According to Tfue, everyone can have fun and success in Apex Legends.
In Fortnite, however, newcomers and casuals face frustration and annoyance as they get devoured by better players.
Fortnite needs to be fresh and exciting again
According to Tfue, this is Fortnite’s big problem: Tfue believes Fortnite has a significant issue. And it’s not the currently overpowered hand cannon. The game has simply become too repetitive, too old-fashioned, and stale.
Even though Epic constantly changes things and throws in new weapons and items, the game has become too monotonous for Tfue.
This is the solution Tfue has for Fortnite: Therefore, Tfue demands that Epic finally change the game from the ground up. This primarily includes a new map. That would make everything exciting and new again.
A new map has long been demanded by Fortnite fans. However, nothing has been seen so far. However, the competition from Apex has already led to Fortnite suddenly announcing ranked play, a feature that fans have been waiting for just as long as a new map.
It’s quite possible that the upcoming Season 8 will change more than previously assumed. So far, little is known about it, so groundbreaking innovations may very well be on the way.
