So, here is the deal. I have been playing this game for years now. I am an older gamer 30+ but honestly love playing Fortnite. For the skill level i have and the set up, PS5 and crappy tv, I play on, I am happy where I am at (600+ wins and almost 13,000 kills). I read all the main FN subreddits on a regular basis. And even though I can't grind this game, I try to take hints and tricks from everyone to get better.
The feedback to this season from the pros and all the wannabes in the competitive world amazes me. Yup, they took the pumps out of the game. The last time they did that was the season that we had the charge shotgun (which could one shot just as easily). We have not had a spray meta since C1S7 or 8 - whatever season the drumgun was so OP). Now, we get to this season and they take the pump out and make the SMG the strongest weapon of the game and people complain about it like it is the end of the world.
I spent the whole last chapter getting one shot with the pump time and time again. If a MnK player knew how to edit and had a purple or gold pump, I was dead every time. The game had honestly become so boring to me. I knew how I could win and I knew how I would lose.
This season has totally changed the game for me. I am having so much fun again. I, for once, as a controller player, get to be the agressive player. The Spiderman gloves are a blast and so fun to use. I love all the ways to find healing in the game. And not every fight is a build battle. It makes the game so fun and interesting.
People who loved the pump might disagree with me.. I get it. But, I just needed to put my voice out there that as a casual, and even as an avid tournament/competitive watcher, I am so glad the game is new and different this season. I am glad that the game has changed and there are multiple ways to win. I am glad that the game is not just who has the fastest edit-pump-reset-edit-pump cycle. It was fun watching Sypher, Ninja, Courage and Wildcat get multiple wins in a row the other day on Twitch. Whether I am playing or watching, this season has been the most fun in a hot minute.
I understand that the Stinger needs to be nerfed. And that is fine with me. But please, Epic Games, please don't bring back the pumps because all the pros are asking for it. You can change the current shotguns, bring back the heavy, or do some other balancing. I really don't care if pros quit the game. That has happened before. If you look at the World Cup lineups, most of them are not playing anymore.
EDIT: I am seeing a lot of people in the comments asking/commenting/insulting about the SMG being lower skilled vs. the Pump being higher skilled. I fully realize that the PUMP is higher skilled. I understand why competitive players want it in the game. But as a CASUAL this season is more fun for me than that meta! That's all I am saying. I don't really care to debate which takes more skill to use. Fun and skill are not the same and don't have to be.
The other thing that I am noticing and realize that a lot of you are in your teens and twenties is a lot of just mean comments. It's really okay if someone disagrees with you. There is no right or wrong when it comes to opinions about a video game.
