Is Fortnite's Building Too Hard?

[@skryptre]

The real issue is matchmaking that puts together vastly different skill level players, bc ppl gonna be where they are in their own learning curve journey no matter adjustments to the complexity ceiling.

[@juiceskyrous]

Exactly, every game has this figured out, even rocket league which epic operates. Why is it that 7 years later low skilled players still get put into high skill lobbies?

[@AegonTargeryen]

@@juiceskyrous Because building and editing are such rogue skills to measure that the stats used from anyone's singular game or all-time stats to put their skill level anywhere can't accurately predict someone's skill

[@juiceskyrous]

​@@AegonTargeryen I can't tell what exact method they should use, but other games have unique mechanics and still have successful matchmaking. Another option would be to just do away with skilled matchmaking entirely, the Squads playlist does this and it works well.

[@AegonTargeryen]

@ I mean you aren’t wrong about removing sbmm being a good idea but there isn’t any stat that can accurate-ishly predict someone’s skill with everything that building and editing provides to a player. And could you give me some examples of other games with unique mechanics because I mostly just play Fortnite so I don’t know much about other games.

11:35 You are forgetting ONE major thing. The Gap remains the same, yes, HOWEVER, the PERCENTAGE/RATIO of said gap decreases. To illustrate this, let us assume that everyone's building 'skill' can be measured as one 'rank'. So say the FNCS champ is level 100, while the no builds noob is 12, and someone with their builds unbinded is 0. Let us say a new feature made it easier by 500 levels, so everyone's level went up by 500 (except for the unbinded dude, cause he can't use the feature). This would make the noob level 512 while the champ is level 600. The Gap is the same, 88 levels, but 88 levels when the max is 100 is WAAAAAAY more of a gap than 88 levels when the max is 600. A GREAT example would be health. IIRC there were some LTMs that changed your health. 88 health did not matter AS much to Doom's Chosen than it matters to someone playing OG (where shields are RARE af).

The solution to literally ALL of these issues is something Epic seems to ignore: FIX SKILL BASED MATCHMAKING! This means that good players always will be in tournament-level lobbies (yes, even in public/casual matches) and thus they will always complain about how difficult their lobbies are. The leaderboards in FortniteTracker will no longer have people with insane win percentages and stratospheric k/d ratios. The crown farming in pubs will end. Pubstomping will end. Fixing SBMM would keep below average (bad) players away from these fiends. Epic should use ALL AVAILABLE stats like Accuracy, Materials Used, and Edits Per Minute to place the good players into their own, high tier lobbies, and they would never, ever run into new or bad players. It would let new players slowly build their skills over time, without getting pubstomped endlessly.

[@GeorgeKayツ]

Isolating the dedicated competitive playerbase by making their lobbies so difficult that they may consider quitting, is not a profitable strategy. You forget that not only does epic have to cater to the casual player base, they must cater to the competitive player base as well.

One point that I think didn't get mentioned in the video at all is that, as I'd say, every 'good' builds player has muscle memory for selecting tiles.

Why are so many people like this… the problem is not the skill ceiling. The problem is the skill GAP. The game is fun because of how complicated building rudiments are and how you can do a bunch of things super fast. As another reply said, the competitive scene is encouraged by how mechanically intense and skill based the fighting gameplay is. As long as players of a certain skill level can actually get matched with people of similar skill, or at least make building and fighting tutorials and drill maps more accessible in-game

10:53 HAS ME DYINGGGG LMAO

[@Swing_Bonnie]

We have a similar problem with fighting games, but it usually pertains to certain characters and not mechanics, and I think a good example to give would be Zangief or any character from his archetype. Zangief is usually not regarded as a top tier or really anywhere close in that matter, but characters in his archetype being grapplers are not normally hard to play at a surface level causing them to be really good scrub killers. Bad players have trouble beating them because one move could take 40% of their life bar when for them it take 5 moves to do the same damage, but for good players not only will they know how to play around that move, one 40% combo won't be hard for them. If you nerf the grappler they get even worse at high level. If you buff the grappler they get better at high level but now the low level players is dying even faster.

[@batty8385]

Me and my friends just play no builds for this exact reason. Most of us played during chapter 1 and our building skills ranged from ok for some of us to pretty good / entry level competitive (atleast for me, I played a lot of tournaments and Arena and got pretty far in them, always getting to the highest rank in Arena with rather ease and placing ok in tourmanents). But then we quit the game for almost 5 years. Only really coming back for chapter OG the previous year and now. Now, when playing unranked builds, I'm getting completely outplayed in like 80% of my fights and the only way to win is to rely on my aim. Let alone how my friends who were very casual players even during chapter 1 would do in an average build lobby.

Fortnite OG could be the casual mode of Battle Royale, and I feel the best way to reduce the urge to build is to make it not only slower, but less reliable for combat. While removing turbo building is one thing, building delay before you can place another structure and even to start building can be added to the mode. And if you want to go even further, remove editing completely or limit the type of edits you could do.

[@0x139hwpoison-wq9gl]

excellent video :) i love settings that reduce complexity (and keep you on the same playing field as other players, or even place you at a disadvantage against them in some aspects) without undermining the efforts of highly-skilled players, and still maintaining fn's high skill ceiling. lowering the entry barrier is the best way forward for this game imo. i think another problem is that the default binds for building and editing are terrible and have been unchanged for years. a newer player isn't likely to realize the problems with the current default binds (if they even think about binds at all), and by the time they have improved enough to notice the flaws they might be too used to their current binds to want to learn a new set of binds.

Theres a difference between something being hard and difficult and something that just improves with time. You put the time in? You can build with no issues. No effort to get better at building?

[@romangreene5615]

Id like to see a system / gamemode where rather than an extension of the player's body, building becomes a mere tool in the player's arsenal. This could be done by putting a capped number of builds you can place before they go on cooldown, similar to how the chug cannon has limited uses that recharge over time. This would allow for the "fort building" mentioned by some of the players who came back to build because of simple edit, but also change the way the skill ceiling is shaped, in that rather than simple mechanical skill, players can be classified as better or worse based on their strategic use of limited builds. This mode shouldnt replace build mode, but i think fortnite should give it the ZB treatment and let players get a chance to experience it through an LTM. If it is well received (like ZB), they could consider making it a permanent mode. Pros: introduces builds to new players at a slower, more comprehensible rate and limits the advantage building knowledge grants more skilled players. Encourages more strategic play by limiting options and resources Cons: Slows gameplay loop by encouraging more conservative behavior. May feel unfair to pro / comp players who have had one of their legs knocked out from under them.

I began to play the game seas 9 chap 1 on switch, until seas 3 chap 4 on ps5. My skill massively increased in those 2 years, but I am still in the average tier, which sucks after 6 years, when you see kids scoring unreal after 1 year (my max is elite btw). I have to improve a lot on controller, because I can’t play keyboard (I’m playing in the living room), and I kept a lot of bad habits from my Nintendo experience (4 years is pretty long). I think the easiest way for anyone to improve on controller is to change the binding, but it takes some time to adapt. It’s working pretty well when you found the most intuitive key binding on the right action, as per exemple to quit the building mode with something else than o/b/a because you can’t turn your head while doing so (without using claws grip, which feels uncomfortable for me). While wall-replacing, you pickaxe, you build your wall, take a short time to quit building mode (you can press q on keyboard while flicking), edit, and then peak/shoot. This short time without being able to move the camera makes you loose the advantage of surprise, and makes you predictable. So, I recommend to use the right stick, for someone who uses the left stick for editing, to quit the building mode AND being able to turn their head at the same time, OR the right trigger to avoid some "unintendedly" fast flick with the right stick while staying intuitive (shoot command). Therefore, it forces you to use something different for the building attributed to this key, so it’s not perfect. Let me know if you got another idea with less issues.

[@TheChristopherJack]

I agree with single button resets, scroll wheel was always a work around to poor design, & for that same reason I disagree with changing Simple Edit to a 'select piece to edit'. One of the biggest issues with building & editing, is the insane amount of button clicking & swiping required, it's not just a skill barrier but an accessibility barrier & for the most part, the changes Epic have made with Simple Edit are intuitive "why can't I just look at where the window should be, & instantly open the window?" well now I can. I'd like a lot more options, the 'select piece to edit' suggestion could be one, but fuck is this game uncomfortable to play at times. The very old, the very young, & those without much time, they'll just never be able to enjoy the core game as it was. As you acknowledge here, even if it makes the game easier for new players, it doesn't necessarily remove the skill gap, which I think is good for competitive while removing the biggest barrier to entry for new & casual players. Sure they'll still get shit on, but at least it won't feel as overwhelming. It doesn't necessaerily make building easy, most casuals still struggled with 90s in Chapter 2 which doesn't even require edits, but it makes it a hell of a lot less daunting.

[@DashSpiderJumpscares]

As a controller player, the main issue for me with building, after simple edit was added, is finding good binds to make editing easy (limited buttons) and much more importantly, ping. No matter how much I try to box fight someone, I will always lose to ping and less overall look control.

[@vibesdontcare]

Brother, simple edit makes things SIMPLE lol. Just keep the regular binds of the building pieces, make sure you have edit on release turned on and if youre on a controller with no paddles or anything, I would swap my edit bind to L3, and find something else for sprint. Also if your controller doesnt have paddles or buttons, GET ONE.

These flashy edits they do, and unnecessary triple edits in moments when its pointless, just confuse people. Most of the stuff you see is simply for style points.

14:15 there is a setting for this on controller btw over by confirm edit on release there’s an option to confirm reset on release called “both”

[@PonchoZZZ-c8l]

Aussie vs Reisshub 🗣️🔥

[@mrklin99]

That sneaky jab at Aussie when talking about bad builders was hillarious 🤣

[@moabmauler_]

the solution is to add employment-based matchmaking

[@A6ENTX_MAGIK]

11:02 dam Courage that's embarrasing...

[@Jadbayoudh]

Building hard ❌️ A sweat ✅️

[@WillzPlayzYT]

Tbh not many good players use simple edit so it would probably close the skill gap between casual and good players as many casual players use it

[@eksot]

I agree, doesn't make sense what he said. As he said simple edit has too many downsides for already good players, so the only player switching to simple edit are newer and more bad players which closes the skill gap as you say.

[@techyougo]

They should overhaul building in pubs and keep it the same in ranked. Some ideas I've heard are no turbo building mode to replace zero build (i know you did a custom but that has above average players). Or even making it so you can't edit until your piece is completely down.

[@iPeanutJelly]

The game takes too much time to learn for most people. There is so many small details you will miss if you arent a pro player. Like what edits to make, how to rotate properly, how to make efficient builds and so on. Like probably 90% of the playerbase probably cant even do triple edits and they've played since like chapter 1

[@YoYoCaudill]

I've been playing since chapter 2 season 5. Been on console controller the entire time rececently switched 2 new gen. My friends would describe me as a sweat. My aim is really good and my builds and editing are pretty good. I still switched 2 simple edit because yes there is delay when you reset with scroll wheel, controller players don't have that, so it still is probably the fastest option. My friends who are not very good at the game because they don't play often also use simple edit, but that doesn't mean they can suddenly beat me. I still win most if not all of our fights because I play smarter not just better. I hit more shots for more damage, and I make smarter decisions so as to not take as much damage in return. I think simple edit is a great feature, and honestly closing the skill gap in Fortnite is impossible and I don't think it should be done necessarily. I'm not where near a pro skill level, but I enjoy the game because I'm good at the game. What I love about simple edit is that it can help both bad and good players increase skill level without making players who weren't very good before demons at the game, but still much better then they were.

11:04 WHY WAS THAT SO PERFECT

[@FrozenBarrels]

bro i will be in a “peaceful” end game and then some kid edit courses me in final moving me thinking it’s a pro but it’s a complete random

[@gamerultralv9290]

as a casual player, simple edit is necessary. i cant even edit at all normally but with it i can compete

[@socialkiddo]

Reissub has the best and smartest tutorials.

[@tylergeorge345]

they just need a mode called "slow build" where you can build 1 piece every 10 seconds. we can still use the building to make bases without having to go against sweaty builders . boom problem solved

[@MMAMG1]

I don’t think it is, the issue is more about how despite having ranked, sweats still end up playing pubs.

[@Wishy.]

what do you define sweats, i consider myself a casual only playing pubs barely any ranked and im just chill on creative but still be called a "sweat" because i build 3 boxes to have height

[@coolguy14604]

could be that they just want free wins, but i think that one reason they might be playing pubs is that they arent actually as good as you think they are, and they would get clapped in ranked

[@JakeTheSnakey33]

SBMM still exists (to an extent) in pubs, My Friend's lobbies are significantly worse than mine. (even though we are on the same platform)

[@4Star18]

​If you're building like mad, you're a sweat. There is zero reason in a non competitive setting to build more than a floor, 2 walls and a ramp. It isn't that serious. If you take it that seriously you shouldn't ever be in pubs. Comp is the only way to be practice for comp. I've always thought building shiuld only be in comp. It allows poor gun fighters to get advantage. And those who need advantage to win aren't good. And are sweaty. Building isn't about who can build best. It's about who can run for advantage more. And in a comp setting that's fine, in pubs, it makes those who do so look hella goofy and like they aren't as good as they want to believe they are. If you were, you wouldn't be in my pubs match. You'd be competing. (None of this applies to you, just sharing my thoughts process) ​@@Wishy.

[@Anonymous17_]

I never play pubs, only with bad friends that really aren’t horrible just a skill gap like explained in the video cuz I have years playing comp and competitive 1v1s and scrims and I haven’t come across any sweats in pubs it just doesn’t happen because the real good players won’t waste their time in pubs, the ones that are in pubs are just probably fast at editing and nothing else

[@harisddd]

Love this guy and the videos he make

[@lulzimbuzi]

1:40 Aussie Antics is crazy lmao

[@SansTheFunnySkeleton]

11:04 Courage really thought he was cooking

[@milansl7]

They could take out turbo build and decrease the limit of mats to make builds playable for the average player again but I can see some people complaining about that. Until something changes ima stick to ZB

[@DrAnimePhD]

Thanks tor reconfirming why Zero Build is the best option

[@Henrylikesostrichs]

This is bouta start a riesshub aussie antics rivalry TEAM HUB

[@StalinkTz]

let's also realize that turbo building IS the mechanic to increase the skill floor. turbo building makes it easier for beginners. thinking that removing it is gonna fix anything is stupid. the problem is that pros are pros and they will find a way to perfect any mechanic introduced to the game, so, doesn't matter if there is or there isn't any turbo building, pros will be better than noobs.

[@baowmw]

babe wake up reisshub posted

KZbin hide this from me for 12 seconds it slacking ngl (also yes it is pretty hard for me at least bulding takes forever to learn)

[@HeirOfChrist761]

Not to mention ping difference also plays a major role in

[@R3APZFN]

4:11 this is why I use my ring finger on w/S my pinky on a and middle finger on d so that my index finger rests on f

[@uchi_mada0822]

I want to become better but idk how,that’s my problem but idk about other people

[@eksot]

The solution is creative. Would probably be best to grind 1v1 against a slightly better player so you can learn but it's hard to find someone that is better than you without them completetly destroying you every round when you just got into the game.

[@Moby313]

3:38 that is my biggest problem and I have literally played since the start. I can build and I can edit but when I try to combine then together I always have trouble.

[@g_erm]

1:39 bro dissed aussieantics

[@Wisher1.0]

13:40 yeah but sadly epic never seems to listen to the great tips that youtubers give them, only after over 50% of the fn community starts agreeing with it
