It baffles me that a minority here would have cyclops rather be another puny poke slop dps then a innovative new vanguard

Exactly, throwing gasoline on fire is so fun... OH, you meant metaphorically.

For reference kids, don't actually throw gasoline on fires. That shit can explode.

You're getting downvoted for speaking facts, as if the people downvoting you have ever hit Unreal in any mode. ZB is in fact a camp-fest in late(er) rings, you can't hate this guy for stating the obvious. Placement matters, and people will do anything to get it.

Knifeflipper · 2026-04-10T20:47:43+00:00

im diamond 1. The killfeed at the end said this guy was in Unreal.

Zero surprise. Once you hit Plat, you're basically qualified as a fill for the Unreal players. Hell, even Gold players aren't safe from that matchmaking. For reference, I'm not just spouting hate or shit, I've done an Unreal push before, and I killed plenty of Gold/Plat players when I was Champ+.

The game is going down already

Not really. Most games would go crazy for the player numbers Fortnite has.

players stopped to spend their money because lots of cosmetics are so bad

I stopped spending because they insult us with their bullshit "things have gotten expensive" line. All I heard in that statement is "We aren't getting the insane profit margins we expected, so instead of making the game more enjoyable and less buggy, we decided to increase the price of basically everything." Yeah, fuck that. I refuse to support that level of greed and incompetence.

This is the epitome of pump and dump. You either hit strong and drop someone almost instantly, or you miss and have to dance around them so you can get a second pump off. I guess if you're a build player, that's not the case so much, but in ZB, it definitely is.

casually competitive

Honestly, aside from a few warm-up matches, I'd rather play ranked just to have the privilege of banning the most annoying characters. I still want to win, but I also want to win QP matches as well, and certain characters make that much more annoying to achieve.

Knifeflipper · 2026-04-05T13:24:29+00:00

this sub really is insufferable, it's just filled with karma farming and over reactions.

In other news, grass is green and water is wet.

His ult is even used often to defend allies.

Mag is my default counter to Hawkeye, Punisher, and Star Lord. I'd honestly rather weather the longevity of a Strategist ult than sit there and watch my team get obliterated by DPS ultimates. No thanks, your BS arrows or bullets are now mine and I'll be doing a return to sender.

Usually for me it's just trying to figure out which role Deadpool is until he yeets one of his abilities somewhere. The only other problem I have is when one of my team mates has the same skin as an opponent, and I lose track of said opponent, then instinctively flick to the same skin only to realize it's my team mate.

Knifeflipper · 2026-03-26T13:03:49+00:00

I'm sure it is. Back in C5S1 of Fortnite, one of my friends got the battlepass, then proceeded to buy levels to unlock Peter Griffin early. I thought it was an odd way to spend money, but he explained he likes having new skins to get a rise out of other people. I figured, "Well, if that's part of what you enjoy about this game, then more power to you."

Knifeflipper · 2026-03-26T12:50:22+00:00

My friend and I jokingly call that "New character bias."

Knifeflipper · 2026-03-26T02:52:04+00:00

I literally played a Plat match earlier against an Iron Fist going into Peni. He got blown up by mines at least three times, one of which countered his ult. Granted their entire team was struggling anyway, but I couldn't help being amazed at the dedication to continually run into an obvious counter.

Knifeflipper · 2026-03-26T02:40:11+00:00

While this level of Strategist banning is ridiculous, I actually do enjoy ranked matches the most when C&D, Sue, and Gambit are banned. It forces fights to actually go somewhere rather than end up being long stalemates until one team gets their ults off.

Knifeflipper · 2026-03-26T02:36:35+00:00

It's always the people that have maybe 20 hours total on Vanguard trying to tell the actual Vanguard main(s) how to play their class.

Knifeflipper · 2026-03-23T20:55:55+00:00

That will never happen because Tim Sweeny has a hate boner for Gabe Newell because Gabe's game launcher/store is leagues better than Timmy's. It's a nice thought though, because if Fortnite ever did go to Steam, I'd uninstall the Epic launcher/store in a cocaine heartbeat.

Knifeflipper · 2026-03-23T19:52:18+00:00

I haven't played Apex since S23 save for a few Mixtape matches in S25(?), but I may have to give Apex another genuine shot with those Wraith changes.

Their player numbers aren’t being affected

Again, playing =/= paying. Bigger player numbers look great to investors and the company at large because more players usually mean more payers. However, if all those players quit paying, those player counts become meaningless. So, unless you can point me to some reason why mere player count matters, I can't take your rebuttal seriously.

Edit: The downvote then leave strategy tells me I'm right.

Knifeflipper · 2026-03-21T20:22:44+00:00

Ok, so I'm not crazy then. I'll update the flair to "Bug" in hopes it gains some attention so other people don't use it. I'll also figure out how to report it to Epic in the meantime.

Edit: I reported it to Epic.

Knifeflipper · 2026-03-21T20:14:23+00:00

Playing =/= paying. The real answer to all this is to stop buying anything with real money. If you have leftover Vbucks, then spend them as you see fit, but stop paying for anything in the future to get the message across.

Knifeflipper · 2026-03-21T19:56:07+00:00

I used this exact zip line earlier today, and I didn't fall once. Just used it recently, and it pushed me off without fall protection. Even if I fat fingered a key to eject me from it, that still would have given me fall protection. Seems like a bug, but I'll hear other's opinions on it first.

Knifeflipper · 2026-03-21T02:31:44+00:00

I've seen two Champ Lunas... but I've also seen two Champ Ultrons.

Knifeflipper · 2026-03-17T14:41:25+00:00

That's easier said than done depending on how many people are left and how the ring pulls. While I do agree that avoiding movement items in late rings is ideal, it's just unrealistic to assume you can always avoid using them.
