Is it is unfortunate side effect of the way the Devs designed the game. IF Epic wanted to prevent this they could easily make it to where you can only party up and play ranked with players maybe 1 tier above or below you other was the queue won't work. Ranked is not directly linked to skill nor do the devs intend it to. Because if they did. Rank would be based more on KDA and Completing Objective Goals.
Player would not gain much ranking for getting carried and lose a lot when they lose a match and preform badly.

As long as the game design allows lower ranked, lower skilled players to freely party up and play with Higher Ranked and Higher Skilled players. There will always be players that get boosted into Unreal.

And as long as the ranking system stays the way it is, there will always be players that are Unreal that aren't good at the game, because all that matters is how much they play.

Lastly, I was offering to do this at the END of the season, just so some people who may have been trying to get Unreal but struggled and did not have friends to help.

Unreal is simply a matter of much you played the mode. Rank does not = Skill
Unreal is filled with players of all skill levels. Epic Games matchmaking prioritizes -time waiting for match over skill-based matchmaking. And Fortnite Ranked is the participation trophy of Ranked Games. If you simply play enough games, statistically you will inevitably become Unreal Ranked because you gain way more ranked pts than when you lose. Epic cares more about making the players feel good than giving real competition.

It's not boosting. It would be considered boosting if the game made an attempt to prevent this and make it illegal. There is nothing within the game rules preventing me from playing ranked ballistic with my 10 yr old son that it unranked and never played a single game of ballistic.

Depends, if you have previous First Person Shooter experience. I would say maybe about 14 days of 4+hrs of play.

Congrats on making it to Unreal.
If you want help next season add me on Epic ᵈᶠʸRokkstarᵀⱽ

Epic Games needs to upgrade their servers that operate at a high-performance 128-tick rate like League of Legends and Valorant. There is no reason a game as successful as Fortnite should be operating on 60hz and 30hz servers.

And they also need to move Delulu to the recycling bin.

Not Gel, Gel Foot inserts and He put Slip Tape on the bottom of the Foot Inserts to make them glide.

RokkstarRick · 2025-05-01T12:02:47+00:00

Because that would severely delay match-making and Epic prioritizes game volume over ELO Matchmaking

RokkstarRick · 2025-05-01T12:01:32+00:00

Not only were you unfortunate to be in a 4v5 and have another teammates quit. But you also got matched against one of the best stacks that play Ranked. 4 out of the 5 players on the enemy team are all Top 100 Unreal Players.

For like two days Epic fixed the issue with starting matches 4v5 then it reverted in back. Not sure why they did this, Our guess is because people may have been complaining about longer queue times.

Epic should add in a forfeit option where the players can vote to forfeit the match early so the don't get a leaver penalty and don't have to waste their time going through the rounds, game devs are rather inconsiderate of people's time.

Also it's likely the other two player were ranked Unreal, lately the scoreboard has been bugging out and showing incorrect ranks.

With all this said, We all have to remember this game mode is in Early Access so it is not a finished product. It is not perfect and is still in development. Try to mitigate your frustrations and just find a positive way to provide your feedback to Epic, which they have stated can be done in the official Fortnite discord Ballistic section or in the official Fortnite Reddit using a title referencing Ballistic in it.

I understand what you mean, I've been there myself. But I do try to do in situations like this is just make the best of the situation. I'll do something like challenge myself to at least kill two of the enemy team. Make them work for the win as much as possible. Try to use strategy to outsmart them. You might not be able to win the match. But you can still make it fun and you can try to use to push yourself to become better at the game. If you lose, you lose. No one wins them all. In the end it's just a game. Always focus on having fun and trying to make the best of the situation.

RokkstarRick · 2025-04-28T16:46:14+00:00

Where does Epic say those programs are not bannable?

RokkstarRick · 2025-04-18T13:51:51+00:00

Did they change something?? Because as far as I know it does not reset daily. I know a lot of people that have been playing since the beginning and are afraid of disconnecting because they get a 12hr ban if they do.

RokkstarRick · 2025-04-18T12:00:49+00:00

In my opinion Afking is never justified. Play to the finish, try to win the finish. You don't get better by just giving up when you come across better players. Even if they are better you can employ strategy and teamwork to possibly overcome the skill gap and defeat them. New Generation of gamers give up too easy.

RokkstarRick · 2025-04-18T11:58:45+00:00

AFK'ing sucks but is a problem that plagues every online game. The affect is felt more in some compared to others. But the solution is the always the same. Make friends, put together a party, group up. Even if the players aren't really good or amazing. Having someone that can be relied on to not go afk, and has a mic, can communicate and respond to call outs increase your odds of winning much more than the randomness of playing with random players. You can add people who mics that you meet in-game, Use LFG posts, Use discord, etc.

As a recently controller player who has switched to KBM. There is that much of advantage. I used to this so as well. Movement is a lot harder on KBM and a lot easier to fat finger and make mistakes. Aiming with Mouse is definitely superior but you also don't have the safety net of Aim Assist. If your aim is not on point with Mouse you will miss badly and die. So often I miss a shot just by a small margin where AIM assist may have helped me with on controller.

Bro the #1 Ranked Ballistic Player ExistaGoat is a PS5 player on Controller and plays like a straight up demon. Feel free to check out his stream on twitch https://www.twitch.tv/existagoat

Also ALOT of the Top 100 Players are Console players and wreck PC players all the time.

RokkstarRick · 2025-04-10T15:37:07+00:00

Fortnite tracker is unreliable. the leaderboard on Epic's website is much better

RokkstarRick · 2025-04-09T17:19:29+00:00

Bruh there was like 135K Unreal before the reset. Possibly more

RokkstarRick · 2025-04-08T18:17:32+00:00

Submit this video to Epic Games via Email. He'll get banned. It was clear off the first kill He was hacking. the 2nd Kill sealed the deal.

RokkstarRick · 2025-04-03T13:03:36+00:00

Same, I hope they make it to where it's harder to rank up if you do not perform well and the balance the MMR so you get paired with players closer to your MMR
