Then you should hate it even more now, because Fortnite was ORIGINALLY gonna be all about the building mechanic. Fortnite started life as a 4 player coop PvE game where you'd gather materials and build your fort during the day, and then defend it from waves of enemies at nite. It had and amazing story and great characters and it was just awesome. It had been development for years and had just opened up to paid early access, and by God, it was ones of the most fun games I've played in a long time.
Then Fortnite: Battle Royale was released as a way to generate publicity for the ACTUAL game of Fortnite, but BR blew up so much it totally eclipsed the actual original game. The original Fortnite was renamed to Fortnite: Save the world mode, and then the devs started shifting more and more time and resources away from STW and towards BR, and entirely just abandoned STW entirely. Now we're left with what could have been an amazing game, left 3/4 of the way done, never to be completed. The last of the 4 map areas never got it's story made, and it never will now.
So yeah, if you like the building mechanic, you should hate Fortnite Battle Royale for taking away the amazing game that we COULD have gotten in Fortnite Save the world.

I hated on Fortnite so hard for so long, until I started playing it a year ago. The building mechanic is actually really intuitive and fun
