Sucking at Fortnite

I swear, Fornite is one of the most annoying games to try to get better at.  My opinion stands with this as well as any type of battle royale genre.  Especially, when you have things to do like go to work, go to school, or in general just have a lot of other things in life going on.

Gaming is great.  It's the best outlet for anyone to just hop into for a few minutes or a few hours at a time.  It just sucks when the expectation is to be GREAT at the games you enjoy.

Personally, I'm a casual gamer.  Having a full-time job, a family, and other things in life to do just keep me away from the game when I really want to enjoy it and get better.  Part of the reason I want to get better is because my friends are so good at it.  Sometimes TOO GOOD.


There's this expectation for me to be great at it and sometimes my friends take it too far.  I'm okay with a little bit of heckling here or there but after a while it just starts getting to me and I stop having fun.  Obviously, I don't want to tell them to tone it down because then I'm just being a downer but I guess me getting in a bad mood makes the gaming experience even worse for everyone.

I try to play when I can and get better when I can but I feel sometimes it's just not worth it.  It's a game; if you want it to be a profession for you in the future or even NOW I get it.  Just, sometimes I feel people take the game too seriously and forget to have fun just fucking around with your friends or have fun getting totally dicked on in game.

Part of the reason why I say battle royales are hard to get better at is because of how often the RNG GODS shit on you.  Oh hey look a gun!  Wait, nvm, someone swooped in under me and stole it.  Oh hey an smg!  Wait, nvm, they just one pumped my face to oblivion.  The game is SERIOUSLY irritating.  Aside from playground mode and 50v50 there is almost no way for casual players to get better.

One has to remember though, casual players probably shouldn't be that good, but hey, someone has to complain about it.
