Fortnite players are expressing dissatisfaction with the recent balance changes for Chapter 5 Season 4, as they feel that the state of the game has been negatively affected.
Shortly after the start of Chapter 5, Season 4, Fortnite players were met with a new meta as a result of the addition of various Marvel weapons and items. On the first day, the main issue raised was the immense damage dealt by Captain America’s Shield, which has an auto-aim feature.
By combining War Machine’s Auto Turret and War Machine’s Hover Jets with the shield, the Battle Royale becomes even more chaotic as you effortlessly take down enemies. Despite Epic’s release of some balance adjustments, players have congregated on a Reddit thread to express their discontent with the recent decrease in spawn rates for certain weapons and items.
A user expressed their frustration by stating, “Decreasing the drop rate of items as a way to nerf them is the most idiotic decision I’ve come across. Shame on Epic for thinking it’s an effective method.”They further elaborated that they have faced numerous deaths due to lacking a jetpack while their opponents had shockwaves.
The new Fortnite season brings back a Marvel theme to the game.
As a result, the enemy has the ability to “choose to engage or disengage”the fight at their leisure, while the players on our team are not able to do so due to the spawn rate nerf limiting our mobility. This viewpoint was shared by numerous other players in the comments section.
Although this has been said before, one user pointed out that “clearly decreasing the drop rate of an overpowered item in a battle royale game is not a good idea.”
They reiterated, “You decrease the quality, not the quantity. This means that players like me who have a reliable route for obtaining numerous avenger chests will still acquire all the necessary items, while more laid-back players will be left without any of the new items. It’s frustrating.”
“Another user commented that the issue with sniper rifles towards the end of season 1 was the same problem. They stated that it increased the game’s dependence on RNG, or random number generation.”
In addition, another user expressed, “Reducing the number of shields and jetpacks obtainable per round does not shield us from having to confront them. It only makes us more vulnerable to those who are able to acquire them.”
One person added, “The nerf seems pointless because players who are fortunate enough to obtain the items will have a significant advantage in the game.”Fortnite frequently makes adjustments to game balance during the season, so it may be helpful to review the latest patch notes to stay updated on any changes.
