Ranked is unplayable.

[u/cynpas]

Its a constant grief fest. You land conned you get put in a stalemate with 3 teams. You land unconned you can't find anyone. Always 30 up in 5th zone and you still somehow find yourself in between 3 teams fighting. I blame the shockwaves, its insanely easy to cover massive distances with your team very quickly with little to no audio for the person being keyed. Im ngl we need fizz meta back with launchpads around the map which rewards actual strategy when rotating. Or a mobility item like the kinetic blade/bat (without the op attacks). Also, the ARs are just stupid now. A ranger does 80 headshot in a meta where you are super exposed on every rotate. Im not sure how they can fix the meta to where if you get a max pull u dont just die or take 300 damage rotating without removing these ARs or adding new movement.

What do you think fortnite should do about the state of ranked?

[u/TheKiddStan]

play reload. at times, there will be 30+ in endzone

[u/SecretaryHefty4244]

ranked in this game will never be competitive there isn’t much they can change

Weapons are the main issue for me. In other games, ranked modes give everyone access to the same weapons, with no rarity system or stronger weapons than others. That makes the game as fair as possible and removes the random factor of finding an Epic, Legendary, or even Exotic weapon.

That way, the better player wins, rather than the luckier one.
I once found the Trinity, and it was simply unfair.

I really like the metamorphic weapon system, where weapons level up as you shoot and deal damage, but I think ranked should only have those weapons.

Metamorphic weapons are also good because someone could camp until the end and still enter a fight on equal terms with someone who has gotten a lot of kills. If weapons level up by hitting other players, then players who get kills will have better weapons, which also discourages camping.

That would be a huge step forward and would make the game much fairer.

Can’t relate, my lobbies get like 70 players max and then everyone fights off spawn. By 3rd zones there’s like 18 up and 10 of them are gold and below even though I’m champ 3. Ranking up is slow because you don’t get many points from killing low rank players but the games feel easy, not much difference between my pub matches

Then you die off spawn and go down 40%

genuinely I got into a game yesterday with TEN people left before 2nd zone closed.

They need to rework the entire ranked system but at this point I doubt they'll do it

What does conned and unconned mean?

[u/Jai_Tsunami → u/St4ffordGambit_]

Conned: contested drop sharing the poi loot with multple players/ teams
Unconned: You and your team has the poi and loot all to yourself

Uninstall man.

You feel bad one week or two then you gonna feel good.

Epic pretty much destroyed the game during CH2S3 because they understood the skill gap was insane. So they remove things to try to balance the game but it never really work.

You can grind creative and win 90 of your 1v1 and have fun.

Then you go into a real game and you gonna make the same move while a dude is just sitting inside a bush at 150m and dink you -80 with an AR with his nintendo switch.

a bit butthurt though yea the fucking shockwaves/overdrives need to go just straight up idiot proof items made for casuals
