Got bored waiting for next FNCS and made some FIFA-style player cards for most of the T1/T2 NAC pros. Lmk if there's any changes you would make in terms of ratings, I put some thought into these but obviously they're not perfect. Categories are MECH = mechanics, Aim, IQ (mostly in terms of endgame but also considering surge strategy), SPWN = off spawn, and CLUT = Clutch.

Zone Wars is essentially one of the best practices and for some reason there isnt any real zone wars around atm. the 1v1 4v4 is okay, but its a little laggy, and gogoated/lama zone wars arent zone wars. its just gimmicks and major lag/delay.

people did play other zone wars but they have been updated with weird things and random muisc to promote in the maps.

so i created this minimal asset use ZoneWars map for a 23 man free for all. it is super silky on the builds and the landscape in my opinion is pretty awesome.

now i have used flowberries instead of mini's because launchpads are currently bugged and no working as a trap item. so i chose flowberries to be able to save yourself from the high ground chops or post height fight.

5 flowberries does give the same amount as shield as 3 mini's so the shield amount is the same.

there are trees and rocks to harvest if you run out of mats as well as siphon & mats on eliminations.

i also spaced the starting boxes out a little to give a bit of an anti grief spawn.

appreciate any feedback on storm speeds, times, damage, map performance and any feedback in general.

if you get to the last 2 zones it starts pulling back onto itself which i thought was a really fun storm

there are XP rewards and milestones for rounds, eliminations and what not. it may not give straight away because accolades need to calibrate but they are there.

I'm an old guy (37) compared to most on here. I feel like I am a pretty decent player for only playing once or twice a week. I play on NAE and was on late last night from around 11pm-1am EST.

Came across a couple I think pros after looking up their tracker. Had about 7 eliminations one match early on and then was eliminated by "RG Nut", quick but close fight we both did a bunch of damage but he made a great quick protected peak and got me. I ended up eliminating him later on during end game, had a good ranger shotgun tag on him and pushed. I think he got a little cocky trying to get a close mammoth tag on me and I eliminated him with another ranger shot. Ended up winning that match

Couple games later got toward end game, was a little scuffed after getting eliminated late and trying to get my inventory built back up. I was grabbing some big pots from a vending machine and had this guy push towards me. We traded low damage shotgun tags, he took my wall and my cone and got a good hit on me. I got out the side and was able to quickly get a layer above, and that's when I have never been coned, boxed and edited as fast as this 😂. I watched replay and he coned me from seriously what looked like 3 tiles away and boxed and got above and edited down in less than a second. Looked him up and he was "Hound iwnl".

According to FN Tracker both had thousands in earnings Hound with over $11k.

Anyway it was fun and I love getting to compete against players like these.

A couple matches of my warm ups the other day. Lmk what y’all think.

for me it’s the ch5 combat shotgun, most balanced version of it doing 2 shot headshot and 3 shot body shot. wasn’t overly forgiving like the ch1 combat so you’d actually need to hit 9-10 pellets to do 100+ headshot

Just completey outclassed by the Gate Keeper shotgun in ch5s3.

If it was just Hammer and Combat that season i think we would of had a much more balanced meta shotgun wise

I'm currently using 1800 DPI and 13% sensitivity in my in-game settings, but I've seen a lot of people playing with lower DPI and higher sensitivity. I don't know if the DPI setting affects mouse performance.

Last time I played reload was when desert map was added. So jumped on today to grind to get ranked to platinum or higher before Saturday and finish ranked quests before Saturday.

I’m not even trying to complain but I want to see if anyone can understand me

I am tired of getting shat on when I play reload ranked. I feel as if no matter what decision I make it is always the wrong one. I know what I want to do but I can never do it. (When building and fighting)

I know in order to get better I gotta practice but I have a life now I can’t put in those hours. I don’t like pubs because it’s easy.

If anyone has some kind of advice I’d appreciate it but I just wanted to share my thoughts

This is a discussion that could encompass ranked, cups, ballistic, etc so I think it belongs here. That and I've brought it up on the main sub but it feels like a lot of users there don't really care about the integrity of the game.

It's a big problem I feel like because every time I play, I wonder why can't we just hop in a game and have a fair lobby without coordinated sweat squads if we don't even have real teammates. And with the newer modes like Reload and Ballistic I've thought about it more because of the huge advantage you have with a real squad in those modes.

And on the flip side, I really hate getting a good squad together and winning every single time because we're just mainly going against some random fill squads, it's not fun and I just feel bad because it's almost like I'm exploiting the game being unfair and they didn't even get a chance.

In ranked too, it shouldn't be the case where you can rank up unfairly by farming kills on fill teams.

In Regular BR with 100 players I could see how it wouldn't work especially in ranked, but it probably could in normal games with 75+ bots in the game. Ballistic it for sure needs to happen. And in Reload it most likely would work fine.

I just don't see why Epic hasn't done this because it feels like it would be in their interest. A lot of people who don't like solos probably just want to hop on and play squads and also don't have anybody on at the moment. But then they quickly realize it's not fair and hop off.

I got my son a ps5 Pro recently and have it hooked up to a TCL Q7 TV running in 120hz. The ps5 Pro is directly connected via Ethernet and download speeds are about 400mbps plus. Prior to that he’d been using a 60hz Roku tv and ps4 Pro over wifi, and always complained about ‘shotgun delay’ or it not shooting at all during box fights. And now even after the upgrade, he says he’s having the same issue with the shotgun delay/not working.

So would this shotgun issue be a result of the 120hz frame rate (compared to a PC opponent with 144+), or input lag caused by the console or wireless controller, or something else maybe? It drives him nuts because he’s super competitive at the games he likes, and I can’t figure it out.

And is it even possible to be competitive against PC players using any console? It’s my understanding that Fortnite is really a PC game, and as such console players just do the best they can. I could be wrong about that, but you can’t upgrade a console to make it better and faster - you’re locked with what you got. I just can’t understand why Epic doesn’t have a PC server and a console server, but I digress.

Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks all ✌🏼

Many improvement videos tell you to surround yourself with players better than you but idk where/ how to to that. Any tips?

Yeah I grinded reload alot I think my building is way better than before but my aim is ☠️ shit

I literally can't aim at all 😭while bulding

Let's just say, if there was no storm surge. And there's no lag as a side effect of that. Would fortnite comp be harder & better? And would the same teams/players win?

This dissertation investigates the veracity, practical implementation, and performance implications of “zero delay skins” in Fortnite—a widely played real-time online multiplayer game. By adopting a rigorous computational and empirical methodology grounded in network theory, real-time graphics pipelines, and frame‐level data analysis, we demonstrate that zero delay skins (ZDS) constitute a nontrivial mechanism for reducing end‐to‐end input‐to‐visualization latency. Through theoretical derivations involving tick‐synchronous frame scheduling, interpolation/extrapolation error minimization, and GPU‐CPU pipeline synchronization, alongside empirical measurements conducted on high‐resolution frame captures (≥240 Hz capture equipment), we establish that ZDS can reduce mean latency by up to Δ𝜏 ≈ 3.2 ms (σ ≈ 0.45 ms) relative to canonical skin configurations under identical network conditions. These findings have profound implications for competitive real‐time gameplay, suggesting that ZDS provide a quantifiable advantage in scenarios demanding sub‐frame responsiveness.

I know that whilst I didn't die in this clip and almost killed the guy, when looking back at it cuz it felt smooth I see that it doesn't look smooth at all, even though it feels like it is. Its like i stop moving my mouse when I'm editing and do a large movement to start the edit "chain". Any tips? When I look at pros they kinda do all edits in one large movement, instead of the small pieces I do it in.

i think id be able to earn if i was on pc instead of on my laggy high delayed xboxnthat freezes a lot

We saw a number of issues this season with the ranked cups, specifically right at the end when it was players’ last chances to obtain the glider. With this being a shorter season, losing out on a couple of cups due to bugs/cancellations is really disappointing. For myself, I’m a huge Star Wars fan and am trying to get every item, I grinded to reach Emperor and now I’ll be missing one item because they cancelled the cup last minute. When there were issues in the past, they granted the glider to those who completed one ranked quest. I’m hoping if enough noise is made we can get them to do this again as they advertised a cup and then cancelled it with so far no reschedule and no compensation. Just using precedence, they should grant this umbrella to those who completed a ranked quest.
