Why You're Good In Creative But NOT In Arena & Tournaments! (Fortnite)

In this video, I talk about why you're a good player in creative, but then suck in arena and tournaments. I made a video similar to this last year about transitioning your creative skills into arena, so I thought why not update it for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5. I talk about different things such as playstyles, tips for how you should practice in creative to get better in arena, as well as tricks to keep your mental stronger. I also talk about the differences between creative and arena in order to help explain why you are good in one game mode yet bad in another. So, if you're looking to get better in arena and tournaments and you seem to be pretty decent already in creative, then this video is definitely for you. On top of that, this video will help you get more arena points, place higher in tournaments, transfer your creative skills from creative to real matches, and turn you from a creative warrior into a competitive demon. Leave a like if this helped you out!

When I learned how to fight in real games I started warming up in arena every day made it to 40k arena points this season. I was a creative warrior, but now I’m a bit of a mix between a comp player and a creative warrior. I applied the things I use in real game fights to box fights and zone wars and it made me dominate especially while using things normally used in both too. i was absolutely dominating everything.

This was a great video. I'm a returning player for chapter 3, after leaving in Season5, even then I wasn't even slightly good. After my return, I've been grinding creative like crazy, to become more comfortable with the game, learn all the new mechanics and metas that have come to the game over the years, and I found myself improving INSANELY fast. But, it doesn't transfer into pubs well, because I don't have good game sense, I'm not experienced with the BR game mode so I get extremely nervous and fumble all my buttons, and I seem to forget everything I've been practicing for. Just seems like I need to play more and more real games, been thinking ab hopping into arena to help force myself into playing against those who are miles better than me.

One thing that will never change is that when u have like 10 minutes or so u would rather go into a creative game rather then queuing up for a 20 min arena match that u will end up leaving midway. Arena needs a lot of preparation and is limited whereas creative is a drop in center with unlimited time.

It feels like everybody is a sweat or pro now.. I consider myself under average, okay at editing alright at building and also okay at pvp.. whenever me and my friend go into matchmaking it’s always amazing players.... and it makes it really boring and not even fun because we die in seconds because everybody is better than me. One time I wasn’t trying because I wanted to get the match over with and I decided to go into game channel and they started saying I am bad at the game and need to practice but I do practice yet it seems I make no progress. Whenever I do try to learn or get better it never works.. it isn’t fun to play anything with anybody other than my friend. It’s just boring now.

[@cobyisasta5499]

I feel you on another level tbh i played on switch i was pretty good for switch but recently i switched to playing on my laptop i get 0 ping in creative and 200fps now i improved alot compared to switch in just 3-5 days but I keep playing creative and now i know what i cant get better at real games now i had a friend who played on switch and played arena and he was always so much better than me i played creative alot he played solos and arena at certain times id get sad and ask myself why is he so much better than me were on the same platform i didnt understand it now he’s on xbox and he’s wayy better he destroys me easily but ever since I switched to pc the amount of times we kill each other seems to be more equal now all i beed is better battle iq im gonna start playing arena more btw i play on controller on my pc simply because im not good at keyboard and mouse but i do still get practice in on it
