Top 10 Reasons Why Fortnite Sucks

The Top Ten
1 It's overrated

This is true. I don't really like Fortnite and it's very overrated. Noo it's a teeny little but gOod but I don't like it much. I'd give it a 4/10. But now I give it a 3/10 because they stole Roblox's idea. come on Fortnite devs! your game is already more popular than Roblox and now your stealing robloxs idea?!

Warning, big rant ahead.

I absolutely HATE fortnite. It's horrible! Here is a list showing 3 reasons why I hate fortnite:
1. The fandom. I played it and I got put with annoying 8 year olds in squads. they begged me for my legendary guns and other things. All the boys in my class play it (and a few girls) and every day they are telling each other "I got a gold scar", "I got solo victory royale", etc. A FIFTH of my school has fortnite merchandise and stationery. Everyday, I hear the word at least once.

2.The game plot. It's exactly like call of duty, Grand Theft Auto 5 and other games. Can't they use something apart from guns?

3. The safety level. Parents with little boys in their house, listen to this. It says 12+ on the game ratings. Why would you let your kid UNDER 12 play this game? I'm in my teens and I feel like the only kid my age who doesn't play fortnite. There's lots of cyberbullies and scams hunting out there. They say stuff like "Tell me your address and I'll give you one 100,000 v-bucks". Play fortnite all you like, just saying.

2 Everyone talks about it

''Oh my God! People are talking about a game that I don't like! I hate Fortnite, so I should hate the people who play it because I cannot respect other people's opinions! Everyone who plays Fortnite should be in jail! '' Look, I get why people can be annoyed why it's become that one game that everyone won't shut up about, but come on! If people want to talk about Fortnite then why should would you hate on them for enjoying something that they like? Soon Fortnite will be a game that will get old and people will forget about. It happens to every new game that becomes popular like Call of Duty, FIFA, Grand Theft Auto V etc. Seriously, it's not the game or the developer's fault that it's popular, they just made the game to be enjoyed. I bet people would get tired of you if you were to keep talking about another game like Ocarina of Time. Most people here probably never played Fortnite so they don't understand why people like it. I personally don't like the game either but I can see why others do! Seriously everyone on this website needs to grow up and respect other people's opinions!

3 It is luck based

Definitely, in regards to the broken, obsolete bloom mechanic, a random number generator presumably was implemented irregardless of which body part your projectile impacts. A perfect demonstration of this is the Pump-Action shotgun. Epic implies that the pump will deal significant damage if a headshot is established through a series of consecutive and precise accuracy; this is not the case from a personal perspective. I have played Fortnite for 8 months and it is the same, repetitve issue that I mostly experience during a close encounter conflict, dealing 6 damage (or 1 if you were discussing about the Tac) with a high powered weapon, pump or heavy, in the head is absolutely pathetic. Attributing such an irregular quantity of 'damage dealt to another player' which completely does not approprate in certain circumstances annoys the hell out of other people, and you would likely expect incompetent people on the other hand to deal more than 100 damage with a similar weapon to you. Again, ...more

So your saying a noob default can magically kill ninja because it's luck? I know that's not really what you mean but it's not technically based off luck, mostly how good at the game you are. Also saying this, and also almost everything in the top ten is saying this about every battle Royale. I think you just don't like Fortnite.

Basically no skill to this game at all. Half the time, solo mode comes down to groups who team up until the end leaving solo players no shot in hell. The loot drops are garbage 99% of the time unless you drop in a high risk area. Meanwhile, the survivors there have the absolute best gear and get to center fast and build a base while you're trying to sneak in with a purple pistol and a blue shotgun/assault rifle. Yeah... reallly got a shot...

It is truly luck based, some skill takes part in it but it is mostly luck. In a lot of my second place loses, it is because RNG kicks in at that moment, kinda like how shots don't register. A lot of kids say that because they are angry, but I am not angry, just a little confused.

4 It's repetitive

It's not. Do different thing each round. Example: One round kill people, another round build, another round snipe people, another round try teaming with people, another round try to win, another round try to complete challenges, another round camp, another round build high bases or stadiums, another round dance in front of noobs, another round have fun in the storm, another round jump into an ATK and have fun. There is so much stuff to do in the game not just killing or building or surviving.

Just like the references being in most popular movies, ads for particular products, other games, most popular T.V. shows, etc. To all these movie studios, please stop overusing Fortnite references for extreme cashgrab reasons.

Well... there are different game modes and you play with different people every game so it's actually not very repetitive. by the way do you actually play Fortnite? Because if you maybe tried it this list would be much different.

5 It's boring

This game is not intense at all. This is partially do to the kid friendliness of the game. When I play a battle royale game like blackout on black ops 4, which is much more intense, I might feel myself shaking, but with fortnite, it has no intensity, and you can't feel like you're in the game. Also, 3rd person doesn't even compete with 1st person.

Yes, so true, there is no realism and the graphic look like a Nintendo rip off had a kid with a Disney movie, there is also no story, it's just put some people in a arena and make them kill each other, also it's fan base is just crap, it is worse then the minecraft and fanfic fan base combined, it's just all around BAD.

I genuinely can't think of anything more boring and repetitive then a battle royale game. It's the exact same thing every time. Yeah sure maybe it's fun for one or two games but after that it sucks and it doesn't stop.

6 Loot system is super unbalanced

Fortnite makes people dumb, I have asked 23 PEOPLE ( yeah I counted! ) that play and they can't even spell tents right!

I understand that. I thought I'm gonna get a Sniper but I get a Single Action Revolver. See that!

God, this game is terrible, I wish they had just gone with the original zombie game, hey, it's their loss because guess what, I already have plans on making a better version of this game based off the zombie mode, take that fortnite devs

It's completely built around degenerates that can at all day!

7 You have to pay real money to get skins

instead of paying to get the skins you want, there is a app that can get you coined bucks for playing a game and the name of the app is Buff, Buff is a app that gives out coined bucks for just playing a game, it supports up to 16 video games, buff bucks can be redeemed into gift cards or gaming products and even you can save some enough to get a good keyboard + mouse. so you don't need to worry about getting stuck on default skin all the time.

I have never played Fortnite, but having to pay real money just to change your character's look is ridiculous. Just make the game itself cost money, not the skins! Why would you pay real money JUST to change a video game character's look? I thought the Roblox was terrible with it's paid character customization, but at least they give you some free items to customize your character, unlike Fortnite.

8 You get killed too easily

The biggest argument against this you will see is the typical "git good" sort of statement. It's pretty much the same ignorant trash as these two comments. "That means you are probably a triggered trash kid"
or "That's called no skills of survival."
However the truth is, those people just don't have the brain capacity to actually have a discussion at the table. You really do die too easily. For the way this game is structured, it is too easy to die suddenly. This has to do with damage, health bars, and the general balance of combat in the game... But good luck convincing the brainwashed fanboys.

I once tried to killed somebody with a sniper rifle. It didn't work. Bullets went downward. I don't know the physics. Then I was trying to camp near them when another player came to me. I used my minigun to shoot at them, but it didn't work, problably because it takes a while. That was the only gun I have. Next thing was that they killed me with a pistol. Pubg has a bigger map, so you can live for a long time, fair and square.

9 It is not fun

I have two stories to share, one of a fantastic game once that was my favorite game of all time, and the other an annoying scenario that happens all the time.
1) Once upon a time, I was walking to just survive and get loot. I came across a sniper rifle and a shopping cart. I saw nobody for most of my game, so I screwed around with a shopping cart all game. I saw someone near the end and sniped them when someone shoots me.
Now my typical story:
2) Once upon a time, I jumped off the bus and landed in tilted towers. I was grabbing a terrible pistol when someone snipes me.
This is why Fortnite is not fun; it's for pros only nowadays.

10 It's overpriced

Search "how much does fortnite cost" on Google, and this is what pops up: "Bundles start at $39.99 and run as high as $149.99. The final, free-to-play release comes some time in 2018. Fortnite is a class-based cooperative shooter rolled up with a building game." Over 100 dollars. OVER. Fortnite is ONE HUNDRED FIFTY BUCKS and over 100 people voted on this survey saying Fortnite sucks. Over 100,000,000 people in the world says Fortnite sucks (mostly mature adults). Apparently, for some reason, over 800,000,000 people play it. And they're opening it to China or something. One of my friends in school is going to start going on the China servers once their opened and kill all the noobs. Like, that's mean. You shouldn't be able to switch server countries.

The Contenders
11 People are way too addicted

Fortnite is one of the most addicting games that around the end of September, a group of people/parents said that while Epic was developing the game, they brought in psychologists to make the game addicting. While the game doesn't have loot boxes, the game has cosmetics like skins and emotes, the two main items to get in the game.

My cousin has ruined his household because of it.

He used to hang out with his parents and sister and get along with everyone else too. But now he throws expired doritos everywhere when he loses and doesn't speak with his family. His sister plans on a wifi takeover

I don't understand how people make a fuss about it. Even dank memes have started to be more related to Fortnite. This game has a fanbase with a maturity factor same as Minecraft, how weird Minecraft is more hated than Fortnite.

12 The V-buck system is ridiculous

Whoever added this here probably hasn't played Roblox, as the only way to get Robux is to buy it. At least you can grind V-bucks even without buying it.

I agree, I had 950 earned vbucks (from the free premium battle pass event) and then one day I logged on and found that the system had glitched and spent my Vbucks on tiers. Boy was I pissed.

There is next to no way to earn v bucks playing but through the free pass which makes the game a grind.

13 You get shot mid air

It ruins my strategy. I switch from falling to gliding to falling at the start of the game, making me fall slowly. Then I get to a hard to reach place. Now, a lot of players have been killed, so I have an advantage, because I have the high ground, so I can use whatever loot.nearby I can find. Now, they can just shoot me, and it doesn't help I already am at a slow air speed. The fastest players to fall also can shoot down the guiding players/ steal all the loot. So it's basically a death battle for who can fall down the fastest. It ruins it all.

We are invincible and indestructible in Call Of Duty?
Sorry B1ueNew, I copied you.

Don't jump then. It happens in Call of Duty sometimes as well. Get used to it

14 It rips off PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

Fortnite copies PUBG's Battle Royale mode, and adds bunch of TRASH to it that ruined the game. The building mechanism is one of them, as there's no point of hiding behind cover. Also it's graphics sucks, like for 3-4 years old little kids. The loot quality system ruined the game. It is really unfair as you have little chance winning an enemy with a higher quality weapon

If Fortnite sucked because it was the same genre as pubg and sued then wouldn't Mario kart, Forza and any racing game suck because they copied Gran Trak 10? , or call of duty halo, and battlefield and fps for copying wolfenstein, you all probably didn't know about Gran Trak 10, wolfenstein had a sequel last year so people know what it is, but yeah, wouldn't any game from any genre suck by the logic? , use your brains people

Yes! The whole GAME is copied. It copied PUGBs graphics. It also copied Halo's playgrounds and Minecraft's creative mode. It also copied off Pixelgun's battle royale mode. Save the World is also a copy of Pixelgun's campaign mode. It also used other people's dances in the game and took all the credit for it! So Epic Games is doing illegal stuff.

You may be right, and you may be not.
1. Fortnite's guns and PUBG's gun's similarity is the reason that PUBG creator sued Fortnite..
2. Fortnite: Battle Royale DID come out before Player Unknown's Battlegrounds.
Wait, I think it's in this order:
1. Fortnite is created
2. PUBG is created
3. Fortnite sees PUBG as a rival
4. Fortnite copies PUBG
5. Fortnite is sued
6. Fortnite, surprisingly, didn't go down.

15 It takes no skill

People say they get killed too easily and saying it takes no skill? One doesn't simply get a Victory Royale.

It actually has no skilled involved... You just spam your build buttons, shoot your gun, and hope lag doesn't get you

This is simply untrue. You need to have at least some skill to win.

Fortnite takes no skill at all all you do is pick up a gun and spam.

16 It's bland

"what happened to minecraft and pokemon"
Umm, Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Pokemon Let's Go Eevee? Does that ring a bell? I think Nintendo is just making Pokemon more and more popular by making and releasing more games etc.. Which Bandai Namco should also do (I think they are the ones who OWN Digimon) to Digimon (ignoring Xros Wars, Hunter and Fusion, I think Tamers sequel could make Digimon more popular too)

Wrong list, mate!

''Oh those wall textures look nothing special its bland looking compared to...''

17 It makes no sense

This game has possible the most hody graphics ever it may keep on going until forza horizon four comes out I thinks set in england.

Why I don't get the nite part of fortnite and I also don't get the fort part since no one bulid forts. but in minecraft I get the mine and craft part and in roblox I get the rob and blox part

Now I really wish fortnite will die out next fortnight (just saying a am a punster).

18 The building system is ridiculous

I agree. The point of the building system is to build a fort but nobody does that. It's used in fights as just temporary cover, making the fighting gameplay annoying. The fight isn't about who can shoot accurately or who has the best guns; it's just whoever scrapped the most stuff for building materials. Also, I tried to build a wall in 5 seconds. It did not work

These topics are trash. Yes fortnite is trash, but its not bad. The building system makes it unique, if your bad at a game do you always make a forum to trash talk it?

Building is what makes it so unique. Without it, Fortnite would just be another normal Battle Royale game. And it's called Fortnite because you build forts.

This game is for ADD patients hyped up on Adderall. Seriously, it takes zero skill to play this game - you can just throw money at it and 'git good'. I miss Quake 3, the last serious competitive FPS game.

19 Only little kids play it

Instead of "Get out of my room! I'm playing Minecraft! ", it should be "Get out of my room! I'm playing Fortnite". Kids these days...

If it was teens and adults, fine. But little kids should not be allowed. Fortnite has a bad reputation because of them.

And caused the game to die the same way Minecraft does. I can't watch a Fortnite intro without cringing.

20 It's not the only game in the world but everyone thinks it is who plays it

Yes, it is the most annoying thing ever, everyone says its "the best game ever" it like they never played a quality game before, so I play Bethesda games and bendy and he ink machine and everyone says I'm a idiot and need to play a "good" game, ya well..

I mean come on! I can't talk about video games anymore because my friends don't care about any game except Fortnite! by the way, you guys do know there's another ssb coming, right? What? You don't care? Oh! Back to talking about Fortnite I guess.

Every hour of the day. Every day of the week. Every week of the month. Every month of the year. Every year of the century. Every century of the millenium. Every enternity. Hopefully, Fortnite will die in 5 months or hopefully, less.

21 Too many updates

Zelda BOTW is better than FORTNITE. You do different things each time, so it isn't repetitive. Also, it took Nintendo 3 years to make it, so they put a lot more effort to create it. It's totally worth it, it never gets boring and you will have an unforgettable adventure across the kingdom of Hyrule.

No, every new update introduces new bugs, and they rarely fix bugs, so its actually not good.

Can't go a week without a crash or update of nothing.

22 It rips off Minecraft

Yes, this is what I keep telling my friends, they yell at me (I accidentally voted for "it rips off roblox" because I didn't see this before, but I would've voted for this if I saw it first). Also, they think I'm obsessed with Minecraft and I'm not. And today they thought Minecraft and Fortnite were calculators and Fortnite could calculate more.

Fortnite is dying off, and its only been a year or so. It's all about the money. The faster the seasons, the more the money.

Minecraft took years too die off. The only reason it is dying is because they sold it too microsoft. Bad idea. It's better then fortnite because you don't gotta pay too look like a "pro"

Yes, it rips off minecraft in so many ways. for example the trees. minecraft had the idea of trees before fortnite. 2. dropping loot. fortnite clearly rips off minecraft with the loot drops. 3. grass ripped off the idea of grass 4.multiplayer. minecraft is good at pvp and multiplayer and fortnite stole it 5. letting you name your character that was clearly from minecraft 6. it's a game, fortnite clearly ripped that off this is why you should play roblox not fortnite

On the bus my friend keeps telling me " Fortnite is way better than Minecraft. There's guns, its rated T for teens, and blah blah. " But Fortnite just sucks.

23 The animation sucks

I have no problem with the animation of the graphics. The gameplay is what makes it boring to me. If it had a story mod with bosses you could collab with your friends or online people to beat it would the game much more fun but it's just a generic shooter and nice graphics that are probably what makes it so popular and addicting. I would literally prefer to play flash games than this.

It's not that bad compared to some other games, not mentioning any names *cough* Minecraft *cough*. Now you might say that is the point of Minecraft, but to be honest, Fortnite could easily have better graphics, it's just that the developers want to keep it more family friendly

24 Weapons are either overpowered or underpowered

Some weapons are overpowered, like the Drum Gun, that's why it was removed. Some players are skilled with different weapons over others and that makes a weapon seem hard. For me, I can get eliminations best with an SMG, but some people say it's Overpowered because of the bullet rate per second. Some people have a harder time with weapons like that and do better with things like the deagle which I find nearly impossible to use. It's all based on player skill level.

I am a pro with Blue Tactical Shotgun.

That's why Season 3 was the best.

25 It's violent

Nah. There are way more violent games. There is no blood or gore. When you die in this game, you don't lay on the ground. A robot teleports you back to the lobby.

Fortnite is for people who either are little kids or people who can't stand Gore... Anyway the games stupid

This is the only one I don't agree with. PUB-G, and other FPS games are more violent than Fortnite.

Apparently, a lack of blood and gore makes a game violent.
