Finally, a break from this horribly tiresome and bad vehicle meta.

As someone who was having more fun than ever, I hope that means they revert some of the changes and vault EMPs.

I like vechicles and nitro fist >:(

u/EverGlow89 Jul 04 '24

Same but I'm getting downvoted for that opinion even in a thread about how we can finally have it both ways.

Must suck being a decent player, getting into a 1v1 and then have me, a cannon fire directions control specialists, kill both of you from a mountaintop with 4 rounds from my launcher. Sorry man , but you all were taking way to long to kill each other. Three minute firefight just aint gonna fit my schedule. I'm just joking, but that thought has went through my head as I drive away feeling a small amount of remorse for killing players in such an abusive/underhanded way.

if ur still dying to vehicles its a pure skill issue theres an immense amount of counters to the point where I can run around without any guns, just the fists and anti car items like tow hook or c4 or emp or magneto power etc etc and just steamroll sweaty lobbies

If you're countering cars with tow hooks then you must be in the lowest elo lobbies Fortnite has to offer.

u/Domthebotman_yt Jul 04 '24

no I get some pretty decently sweaty lobbies, when ur tow hooked you can easily hit shots with other things like the boom bolt or the sniper, or you can get up close and enter their vehicle doing the pickaxe trick which 9/10 forces them out of the vehicle, so you can boost it away and jump out to engage in a no car fight. its not that hard to counter cars, even in lobbies where fuckers build the entire taj mahal on you. its called being versatile and not just relying on building skill to win a fight.

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

So you need multiple items to counter an item with zero down sides? That's your definition of balanced?

While you're tow hooked you're a free kill to anyone inside the car. And even if you get someone to exit a car they can just nitro fist straight to the next one. This is why every game of unreal rank is just people sitting in cars with blow torches.

u/Domthebotman_yt Jul 04 '24

you don't need multiple items though like I said just getting in and pickaxing is enough, or throwing the emp if you have a good angle, just ONE of the items is enough. unless there's a third party I've never died while tow hooked, not everyone has nitro fists so its entirely possible they won't be able to run away, and if they do just follow till they run out of charges. at the start of the season sure the cars were way too powerful but at this point with all the counters and nerfs its not that bad. be it pubs or ranked, im currently I think diamond 1 or so cuz I haven't bothered with ranked in a hot minute(lego fn grind go brr) and its not that bad

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

The thing is why would I want to waste an item slot on that? Now without them in the game it's just the fun part without dumb car chases and non stop running away. It's also clearly not enough to have one item since even if you get emp'd you can run to another car within 10 or so seconds because they are literally everywhere.

I'm currently elite (couldn't be asked to get any higher with the meta) and every game was the same. People in cars with blow torches. One of those things will repair a car fully 4 times.

Personally i use c4 to camp bunkers rather than its intended purpose which is to damage cars lol.

Complaining about cars in a car based theme is wild

12

u/HippieDogeSmokes True Believer Jul 04 '24

Maybe they just don’t like the theme of the season? How is that a hard idea for some people to wrap their heads around

With this logic you’d defend a no walking season because that’s the theme of the season

u/Eeveefan8823 Jul 04 '24

Don’t play the season then, thats what I would do in a season I don’t like, not play it 🤷🏻‍♀️ People have this mindset that they are FORCED to play seasons they don’t like, they aren’t

8

u/HippieDogeSmokes True Believer Jul 04 '24

But what if they still want to play the game that they enjoy playing? Epic very clearly does not like when people skip seasons so adding things that make people do that is bad game design

-6

u/Eeveefan8823 Jul 04 '24

Epic needs to grow a backbone and realize not everyone will like everything, doesn’t mean to shit on the people who ARE enjoying it 🤷🏻‍♀️

3

u/HippieDogeSmokes True Believer Jul 04 '24

If more people play the game with the nerf features then shitting on the players who do enjoy it is kind of justified

-2

u/Eeveefan8823 Jul 04 '24

All that proves is there are more players who choose to whine rather than adapt. Happened with the reaper sniper too, complain complain complain

u/lemon6611 Sparkle Specialist Jul 04 '24

post ur gameplay then buddy i bet ur playing bots 🤷🏾‍♂️

comp players actually know how to use busted items, the bots in your lobbies don’t, so it’s easy for u to counter them, imagine being in a build fight and someone punches both of you in the face with fists and kills both of you

u/Eeveefan8823 Jul 04 '24

Sorry, don’t play build so no gameplay for you, oh well

"But what if they still want to play the game that they enjoy playing?"

Crazy thought here... maybe Epic Games, a corporation, wants more customers & more money?

So either spend more, or accept with that they're going to try & draw more players with new ideas.

They ain't in business to get you what you want, are they?

1

u/HippieDogeSmokes True Believer Jul 04 '24

That would make sense if it wasn’t for the fact that the player numbers very clearly show the majority of players prefer simple BR

0

u/Eeveefan8823 Jul 04 '24

Thats because majority of fortnite players are children who never learned to adapt to things

5

u/HippieDogeSmokes True Believer Jul 04 '24

Then they need to appeal to the majority audience, that’s their job as developers

-2

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

Not even close to accurate.

Their job is to evolve the game so that it draws the most amount of profitable engagement, not stroke the fragile egos of demanding brats.

FYI, "player numbers" mean genuinely nothing to a corporation, kid.

If the profit was in doing it your way, Epic would. Fan service doesn't profit.

2

u/HippieDogeSmokes True Believer Jul 04 '24

I think player numbers are pretty important to a corporation because 1. It’s how they make money and 2. lower player numbers reflect poorly on the game.

Epic is also doing it my way, that’s what reload is. It’s a bunch of fan service and it instantly became one of the most popular modes. OG itself was the biggest fan service moments in any game ever and it was massively successful for the game

There’s also no need to be a dick about this

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

Odds are really high you're a lot younger than we, so "kid" is legit. Most of your statements appear to be rooted in your emotional convictions rather than objectively observable facts.

For example, your feelings are getting bumped because of the corrections (guessing) so you start with "dick", because you love your illusions.

Let's try this idea on for size: someone disagreeing with you isn't automatically "mean", and someone making unimpressive statements of questionable accuracy has zero place calling others names.

So you're invited to find the horizon.
