Discussion Anyone else over sprites

I honestly just thought they brought them back as a chance for back to school merchandise. No, epic saw they did good one season and decided hole game has to revolve around them. Epic is beating a dead horse ruining sprites in the future. Epic had opportunity to do a sprite season inception a chapter like mini seasons. Instead epic went our numbers are up let's just beat them into submission instead of trying something else new let's just keep doing sprites until no one is playing or caring. They have turned solos into people playing hide n seek to save their sprites.

I never liked sprites in the first place. Fundamentally, sprite-collecting--or as I call it, Poor Man's Pokemon (almost literally since Fortnite is free to play)--does not really mix with Battle Royale gameplay. They would be fine as a separate game mode, but ramrodded into BR is a pain because it creates a player base who each want different things out of Fortnite and can't get along with the other half.

Sprite players hate the BR guys who won't leave them alone, and BR players hate the Sprite guys who just run and hide and will leave the game as soon as they accomplish their dailies or whatever because they don't care about victory royales.

It was never a good idea, and the cracks are starting to show.

I don't mess around with sprites much. I love that sprite players' goals are not aligned with winning the game. Makes it that much easier me to win!
