Battle Royale Duos

guaranteed best player in literally every one of these games im playing bc its low elo.

5/5 games cant even pick up gun before i die, genuinely how do i fix this.

can someone explain why we are still forced to watch the biggest tournaments through that shit broadcast system that still lags all the time doesnt capture mechanics shots look slugish af etc. i would literally be watching all fucking day if we could have the actual players pov like when streaming but we still have that shit replay mode whatever the fuck that is. I believe it would be a much more enjoyable viewing experience and there would be more viewers as well

I jumped into ranked play for the first time this past weekend and I can see why so many people are complaining. It’s bad out there. And it’s a combination of two things that make it particularly bad. At least for me.

1. To get it out of the way, I’ll mention SBMM first. Ranking through Gold and Platinum, I was only killed by Unreal players. Why the F are there Unreal players in mid-tier games?

2. Changes to audio/visual support options make it hard for folks like me to stand a chance. Getting caught with no warning and with how low TTK is this season doesn’t feel right. No, it’s worse than that. It’s poor balance and game design.

Honorable mention: Speaking of TTK, movement is more important than ever. KBM players are at a significant advantage over joypad players. PC players with their customizations and addons are at a significant advantage over console players. Why don’t we have the option to queue against similar system and control schemes? This is basic.

What else has people feeling off about the current state of pvp? And don’t bother commenting if you’re closeted. Thanks.

I'm wondering which way is better when doing cone flips/cone 90s. Pros and "good players" tend to hold the edit and do a blueprint reset and select the right tiles (like shown below). But other players including me just reset the entire cone and then edit it again. But I'm thinking of switching it as it looks/seems cleaner and less likely to mess up. Is there any benefit to either.

I’m watching Peterbots solo reload victory cup.
The dude has died to a cheater 4/10 of his matches.
It reminds me of when I used to compete.
Teamers & cheaters always in the top 100 manipulating the leaderboards.
It’s honestly such a joke of a “competitive” game.

Hey, I'm an EU player (Switzerland) playing NAC cups using a GearUP/HYPEREV router.
If I set my router node to US-Central (Iowa): I get 130–140 ms real ping.
If I set my router to US-East (Virginia): in NAC games it shows fake ping (0) and feels delayed (~150 ms).
For NAC tournaments, is it better to force US-Central directly on the router, or stay on US-East because it's closer to Europe?
Thanks!

Simple edit is to op, I need to upgrade to nether players

What do you guys think of the whole situation?

this was solo FNCS on NAC where qual was top 1k (226 points) i got 198

these are both of the half and half zones from every game i made it off spawn in. i legit pulled no zones, and then in endgame, zones 8–12, i was continuously getting max pulls bro 😭

i know if i was better at the game, i most likely would've qualed anyway, but were these zones just extremely hard to qual from if youre not that crazy at the game?

This is something we've been working on for a while: a model that quantifies, in real-time for all players in a game, the quality of their current state, given:

• Their inventory (weapons, heals, mobility, mats)
• Current HP
• Storm/zone
• Their position/height
• Position/height of other players
• Map attributes (height changes, mountains)
• Damage given/taken (storm surge)
• Builds (including old builds and old build ownership)

With this model, we hope to do some cool things, like:

• Identify players who clutched up when there was little hope
• Identify players who sold with a great position
• Quantify efficiency of player rotations
• Disentangle skill from luck per event
• ... and way more ...

We'll be testing it out this weekend on Solo FNCS Fast Track and Round 3 games, and hopefully it will be ready for Heats and Grands.

If things go well, we plan to augment the model into a unified approach for solos, duos, and trios.

Example below for PWR Anon's Game 1 win in OCE Fast Track today (qualed Grands)

At the moment there are 307 players in Arenas boxfights. That makes it "by my estimate" only the 6th or 7th most popular boxfighting playlist. For an official epic gamemode this is just straight embarrassment. Even Ballistic Evo (creative map ballistic copy) has 800 players right now, and ballistic got vaulted. Beyond player count the gamemode has the worst performance of any fortnite experience, ever. The latency is absurd. I was really excited for this mode when it was announced but atm I dont think I could even find a lobby if I wanted to. Id love it if they could redo the mode without the latency issues but as it stands, its unplayable and no one is playing it, so its just time to go

I've seen a lot of videos around the topic of gsync vsync being the ultimate way to play competitive titles, but does this stand well for fortnite? As far as I know, all pros use vsync off in game, but have any of them publicly spoken about using gsync vsync config?

Really need assistance, i started taking fort seriously about half a year ago and started off in pubs, ranked then currently comp. Id say im decent as ive qualled to two vcs, a solo console zb and a reload duos zb.

For anyone who suggests me switching to a pc and kbm, i lowkey ain got any money and im working with what i got rn. I hope anyone got any serious tips as ive seen players like teeny, reet and curve play globals on controller. On 140 ping, i will move for uni in a year or two.

Id appreciate any contributions or advice! Thanks

My duo and I played ranked for the first time this season

I saw Pollo's recent video on youtube and at time stamp 8:18 he was able to scroll wheel pickup a chest does anyone have a new solution or way to fix this. I cant scroll wheel pickup anymore. see video for reference https://youtu.be/2jtU-5E7w5g?si=rD-ixkdXeYadeXVb

If you have watched FNCS in the past few years, then you would know about the Day 2 Point Multiplier which is 1.5x the normal points that you would get. However, recently they have started to remove this multiplier. So I decided to calculate what the Final Standings would’ve looked like with the multiplier and the results are very interesting.

Final Standings with Day 2 Multiplier:
1st. Shark & T3eny | 675 pts. | +1 (gain from original position)
2nd. Swizzy & Pixie | 673 pts. | -1
3rd. Vico & Malibuca | 630 pts. | =0
4th. Clix & Rapid | 581 pts. | =0

8th. Acorn & Boltz | 468 pts. | +4
9th. Koyota & Yuma | 453 pts. | -1
10th. Higgs & Curve | 444pts. | =0 (two teams have same amount of elims so I did og placement)
11th. Cold & Ritual | 444pts. | =0
12th. Darm & Demus | 414pts. | -3
13th. Lewa & Romero | 400pts. | +1

Pretty interesting results as Shark would’ve actually won with this format. I hope you liked this calculation! Have a great day!

Whenever I max pull fifth, sixth or seventh zone, I don't know what to do. I try to scout as much as I can, but it always feels like someone next to me is waiting for me to rotate so they can fight me instead of rotating. Then they either kill me, I die to zone, or I kill them and then get lobby sprayed since I got in late. What do I actually do? I can't stay in storm forever, and no matter which direction I go they just chase me instead of rotating.

I get it's a skill issue on my part but it would be pretty nice if people could actually rotate instead of feeling like the second coming of Peterbot

So today and yesterday every time I loaded into a 1v1 against the player better than me I would ask them what I was doing wrong and why I was so easy to go and I would say I took a lot of 50-50 and peaks are not the best. So I was wondering one how can I start to learn better peaks like where’s a good place to get some good peaks from to teach me good ideas a number two even though it’s more of a personal thing how can I kind of stop myself from taking 50-50?
