Crossposting this from Fortnite over 40, because my son thinks he's being unfairly maligned and wants other opinions

The difference in how my son and I approach this game.

Son: Possible landing places are already ranked based on loot chances and rotation possibilities

Me: I'm gonna land at the soccer stadium no one goes to and kick the ball around to see if it makes the scoreboard change. It doesn't :( (Edit: Apparently it does. Yay!)

Son: Load outs are min-maxed and sorted for optimum efficiency

Me: I don't know how I ended up with two SMGs, two shotguns, and a sword, but sure. Why not

Son: Friends list contains people from school, sports clubs, and talented/fun randoms

Me: I have one friend in my list. My also almost-50 former college roommate that is the only person I duo with

Son: Mics always on

Me: Mics never on. I will not be forced to listen to teenagers

Son: Winning is the only thing to strive for. Everything else is just losing

Me: If I have to spend the entire time the next several matches searching for an Earth Sprite, so help me God, I will

Son: Ranked is the only true way to play

Me: Ranked only exists to grind for cosmetics and to make me angry
