According to Newzoo, 58% of Fortnite’s player base are aged 25 or under, and it is renowned for being one of the most toxic gaming communities of all time.
This toxicity is encouraged by Fortnite pros and streamers, who publicly attack one another on Twitter. A new generation is being shaped by this behaviour, and this is one of the key reasons many gamers avoid it.
Although there are, of course, other toxic communities out there (Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege and League of Legends being two examples), they’re not targeted at children. It’s this distinction that makes the toxic community so difficult to swallow.
AND... It has Boring Gameplay
Yup, I said it: Fortnite is boring. Although each season brings a new map and new skins/drops, there’s no significant change to the gameplay.
If you’ve played it once, you’ve played it a thousand times. For those looking for challenge and variety, Fortnite is not the place to go.
Fortnite is also a third-person shooter game, which means the camera angle follows your character from behind and you can see what they look like. While this draws attention to character skins (their clothes and appearance), it detracts from the immediacy of the action.
If it had been a first-person shooter (FPS), it might have drawn more distinction between it and PUBG, which it is famously known for copying.
Another reason Fortnite is disliked by me is because of its repetitive gameplay. With no variety, change, or development, every game is the same.
Plus, the RNG-based gameplay doesn’t allow the potential for real progression.
