it is u just need like 4 million fps and then it feels clean. not that i have stupid fps but still on high fps it would probably be good

This has really helped to make me understand what to really do to get better, I had been losing tournaments for years but I never really had the time when I wanted to start the grind since i begun in chapter 1 till now. The problem was that I didn't really understand to put my frustrations into words about my problems or understand the words to figure out "Yeah this is what I need to do", but then I found this video which has made me realize what I need to do, thank you.

[@Slapposlaps]

Damn bro, watched your vid for the first time 1 week ago and now I’m 50% away from unreal. This is a life lesson as well. Thanks. You earned a sub❤️🙏

[@laughinggs]

I honestly started getting better at arena when i stopped trying to "clip" people, doing all the fancy stuff, if you really focus on the gameplay and work on your aim and just "boxfight", nothing fancy, you'll get much more wins

[@mitikfn]

I just want to say that this video is great, but as a player whos skill is more then avg i can safely say that sometimes ranked does not work well, as the meta is bad, and therefore its not as in tournaments, also there is more reasons of doing stuff bad or have to improve, i had a coach, and he told me that i need to play more realistics and boxfights, so therefore creative isnt always bad

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:28 🕹️ *Focus on eliminations in tournaments by understanding opponents' playstyle rather than overly emphasizing complex mechanics.* 01:37 🧠 *Develop unique skills beyond common mechanics, such as exceptional awareness, to stand out in Fortnite competition.* 02:47 🚫 *Avoid letting ego drive decisions in Duo tournaments; prioritize teamwork and collaboration over personal achievements.* 03:58 ⚙️ *Regularly maintain and optimize gaming equipment for better performance; consider factors like FPS and hardware condition.* 04:55 📝 *Analyze your weaknesses by tracking and categorizing reasons for eliminations in at least 20 ranked games; focus on improving identified weaknesses.* 06:20 📈 *Understand that improvement in Fortnite isn't always linear; trust the process, stay motivated, and don't let tournament results dictate your practice intensity.* 07:28 🎯 *Set realistic long-term goals for sustained improvement; avoid short-term expectations and commit to consistent, dedicated grinding for multiple seasons.* Made with HARPA AI

I really feel like when i get my new pc next week i'll start improving a lot.

did u get your new pc? i am playing on a 2gb gtx1050 with 16gb ram and an i7-7700 and i fell kind of the same way, i can't get over 100 constant fps in game and have a lot of stuttering even though i've formatted it and optimized as much as possible

If you ever wanna be good, you can't care about your rank. Ranked is simply a way to improve for tournaments, your rank does not matter, your skill does. And by playing ranked safe your skill won't ever improve, you'll actually waste your time.
