Recently, Fortnite released the new v3.5 update. And I think this is probably the most controversial thing that has ever come out of Fortnite. The biggest names on YouTube and Twitch are expressing their views on the new update. This has basically caused a split in the community. But I feel this comes down to one thing, and that is play style. I’d just like to say everything, or most of this, is my personal opinion. Some people will completely agree with all the points I make, and others will spend hours trying to change my opinion on the recent changes. But just read this with that information. THIS IS NOT FACT. IT IS MY OPINION. Weapon Swap Changes

The main change that has started this argument is he weapon swap change. And in MY PERSONAL OPINION, I believe this was a bad change. And one of the main reasons I believe this because of the newest weapon added, the guided missle… I firmly believe the guided missle should be removed from the game, and I have been saying this since the addition of it. It promotes slower, camp based play styles compared to a play style like other people (Myth, Daequan, Nick eh 30, etc.). And I believe that the guided missle causes unfair, slow paced gunfights. Say you are in the top 2. You have the high ground, and good weapons. But there is another person that doesn’t have high ground who you can’t see, and he is spamming a guided missle at you. You could build and maybe find him and get some shots on him.. now let’s go over that situation with the v 3.5 update in mind. You are getting shot at with the guided missle. You keep building and find the guy. But you don’t have time to shoot before he shoots his next guided missle due to the delay of the weapons. Either way you will most likely die to a guided missle because it is unfair. But now you have an even smaller chance of winning because of the weapon swap changes.

Verdict

I believe that the weapon swap changes and the guided missle are making the game too beginner friendly. And I understand why. All the kids in public middle schools and high schools are playing fortnite. And if we’re being honest, most of them are horrible and just playing because everyone else is. But that has become a large amount of the player base and Epic Games has to keep them playing by making it more beginner friendly. But I do not agree with this. I have been playing the game since late September and I believe the game is going downhill from where it started they have added great additions to the game throughout the months this game has been around, such as the mini shields, skins, and seasonal events. But recently, they have been making very bad additions to the game. I am not happy in saying this but this is the beginning of the end for Fortnite, if Epic Games keeps doing this, the game will be dead within months. But maybe they can start to pay more attention to PvE and not make PvP too beginner friendly, it can stay. Thank you for reading all this. Criticism and opinions are appreciated
