Maybe this is a strange question from me as a starting out competitive player, I never have really payed much attention to the performance evaluation cups. But I was just looking today and noticed barley 500 teams (sometimes even less) teams play it, And almost all of them are (semi-)pro’s, this is round 1 I’m taking about and some get barley any points. Could anyone explain to my why this is?

Ranked is actually fun again, wow.

With cars, jetpacks, and other ridiculous items out, and siphon back, Ranked actually feels like more than just pure RNG hell. The loot pool is actually beautifully balanced too. I feel like it will ironically make casuals in pubs happier too as Ranked will attract more than just 6th graders who want to brag to their friends about cosmetics they got for grinding unreal, and then they won't feel like "sweats" are hunting them down so much, because anyone good enough to be considered a sweat would be playing Ranked anyway. For once, Epic absolutely cooked with a competitive update.

How do you play as a duo when one needs to heal and is getting pressured by an enemy. should the other duo get into the box and protect the other duo or should he fight the enemy to get him of the wall?

Recently got back into playing Fortnite after quitting for a while. My mechanics are still pretty rusty and not what they used to be like, any tips on what I can improve on would be highly appreciated!

Posted a few of my build fights, free build/editing below, I apologize for the background music, was listening to a few songs at the time and forgot to turn it off.

Also would highly appreciate your thoughts on my playstyle and keybinds! I still have my old keybinds from chapter 1, I'm not sure if its the best for building.

The Milk Cup, the first all-women LAN and the largest prize pool for a women's tournament, kicks off tomorrow at LA Comic Con. 33 trio teams will duke it out for the lion's share of a quarter million dollars. We gathered recaps of each of the qualifiers to explain how each group of teams qualified.

Since the change to the loot pool and addition of siphon I’ve been struggling so much more than I’ve done in previous seasons, and even more than last season’s ranked post-removal of cars.

Mobility seems so horrifically slow now with the removal of the jetpack and claws, shockwaves feel so scarce and hard to find and flowberry fizz really isn’t doing it anymore after 4 seasons.

I get they want to reflect tournament rules but did they really have to strip ranked down to the bone to the point where games are so miserable and boring that it doesn’t feel worth getting on to grind.

And the fact that I’m doing all of this in Champs makes it so much worse because everyone’s playing like a tool and either camping for placement or man-hunting because of siphon on kills

At this point is there an efficient method to reaching unreal this season? Because I’m seeing so many posts of people getting it now and I feel like I’m missing the Krabby Patty formula here to get out of Champs. Any tips are appreciated.

I recently got a Xbox pro controller and have 4 extra paddles, I’ve never played with them before so I’m not sure what I should add to them. What would you suggest?

Hit unreal in ZB today,after 105 matches. I know this Sub isn't big on ZB, to each their own. But I was so happy with this today

The amount of second places he’s got is unreal no one will ever do what he has

Yes, I am noob and I wan't to get better at this game, mostly at movement and aiming but also building to win and be able even beat "tryhards". Do I really need to be on some dc servers or smth to play against people with similar skill levels in creative or what?

Thanks to everyone who helped me in the previous post!

This post is meant to be a sort of summary of my experience and also a place for discussion regarding other people's experiences in ranked. Including their thoughts on how to improve the system, if needed.

• Solo queued all games, only played duos - no squads
• Champion to unreal , most games I played without a teammate.

In my opinion, ranked needs a rework. Its extremely easy for people to camp and play enough to get unreal. I have seen diamond players play better than unreal players.

In about 3 of 10 games, my random teammates would try to do a heal off for the entire game and just play for placements. If they're 250+ level, its sort of an indication that they have played a lot of games and are just going for placements.

Very curious to know about your experience with the ranked system and tips and tricks for people who're aspiring to hit unreal.

The tourney starts at 10:30PM EST. Yes, you read that correctly, STARTS at 10:30 PM EST then ends at 1:30 AM EST. WTF IS THIS EPIC. This literally makes in unplayable for the majority of people. And I'm one of the "lucky" ones who's in MST, 2 hours before EST. Even then, I would have to stay up until midnight to finish this tourney. Even in the west coast, BEST case scenario you still have to stay up until 11PM to finish it. It doesn't even work for west kids lol.

Why are the timings so late? Reload Duos cups, which play out before Trio Cash Cups. Yup, Reload Cups, the ones everyone has been complaining about are essentially being prioritized over Trio Cash Cups and making them nearly unplayable.

The solution is simple imo. Reschedule Reload Duos cups to take place the next day during Trio Cash Cup finals and push Trio Cash Cups Opens and Finals back to the regular 8PM EST time. There would be overlap obviously, but I don't think anyone who quals for Trio Cash Cup finals would even care about Reload Duos Cups.

I’m not a builds player, I haven’t played builds in years and just don’t have the time to practice these crazy build techniques to keep up with all these ppl that use all mats for one fight and i just prefer zero build. I do miss how Fortnite was when it first came out with builds still being an option, but nobody’s building cities each fight. If I hop into ranked, since its usually ppl around the same skill level as you, eventually would i be playing with others that don’t do build battles also? This way i could still get better with actual practice in game without getting shut down by pros

Hey r/FortniteCompetitive,
