Fortnite Battle Royale is known for its unusual array of in-game mechanics, namely building, which can be quite difficult for many players to master, as well as the controversial \u2018weapon bloom\u2019. Dr Disrespect realized just how challenging it can be to put the mechanics to use in the popular battle royale game after dropping out of the Friday Fortnite tournament in the first round of the loser\u2019s bracket. In classic Doc fashion, he refused to take any of the blame himself for the loss and instead pointed towards some of the in-game mechanics as the reason he and his duo, 100 Thieves\u2019 Arkhram, fell short. He later reflected on his loss from the comfort of \u201chis Lamborghini,\u201d explaining to his fans why he was \u2018done with Fortnite.\u2019 \u201cCan you believe that game? Never playing it again, not interested, phoney baloney!\u201d The Doc expressed, \u201cIt\u2019s for the fake and the phoney. I\u2019m not about it, I\u2019m about being real.\u201d The Doc then began to list his issues with the mechanics, focusing mainly on weapon bloom and the current meta of building \u20181\u00d71\u2019 boxes to stay safe: \u201cWeapon bloom, shoot a guy once he hides in little 1\u00d71 immediately.\u201d He went on to explain that the game encouraged \u2018pathetic behaviour\u2019, such as easily hiding away from a fight compared to the Doc\u2019s more preferred head-on approach \u2013 after all, his motto is \u201cViolence, Speed, Momentum.\u201d Dr Disrespect\u2019s frustration with the current state of the game is often echoed by many pro players, who are also unhappy with some of the recent changes to the meta \u2013 only a couple weeks out from the World Cup. Although many of his points resonates true with his viewers, it\u2019s not the first time that Dr Disrespect has \u2018quit Fortnite\u2019, and many expect him to return to it at some point in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Disrespect &#8216;never playing Fortnite again&#8217; due to &#8220;&#8221;pathetic&#8221;&#8221; game mechanics Popular Twitch star Fortnite, after falling early in KEEMSTAR\u2019s Friday Fortnite tournament.
