Twitch’s TimTheTatman gives perfect analogy of Fortnite’s v8.20 update Popular Twitch streamer Timothy \u2018TimTheTatman\u2019 Betar has provided a fitting summary of the current situation of Fortnite, as the backlash over the v8.20 update continues. TimTheTatman has made a name for himself on Twitch over the past year or so by playing Fortnite, often collaborating with other big names such as Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins or Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop. His combination of charisma and talent has led to him being one of the most popular Twitch creators, with over 3.5 million followers on the streaming platform. The Fortnite community, Tim included, have been generally critical of the Fortnite v8.20 update, that was implemented by Epic Games on March 27. The update saw a number of popular Season 7 changes, such as a 50 HP bonus after eliminating an opponent and an increased material farming rate, being removed. 600On March 30 Tim relayed his frustrations with the update in a tweet, arguing that \u201cPubs [public matches] are boring and arena is sweaty\u2026 can\u2019t really hop on and just casually enjoy Fortnite anymore\u201d. He finishes the tweet by saying that the current situation is upsetting for him because he loves Fortnite. The v8.2 update saw the addition of \u2018Arena\u2019 modes to Fortnite, which still have the ruleset of later Season 7, such as the health bonus and increased farming rate. However, the playlist is intended for more competitive Fortnite players, and as such tends to be more difficult to play casually in. Pubs are boring and arena is sweaty\u2026 can\u2019t really hop on and just casually enjoy fortnite anymore.. sad cause I love the game\u2026:disappointed: \u2014 timthetatman (@timthetatman) March 30, 2019 One Twitter user however, replied to Tim, enquiring why he is so unhappy with Fortnite when the streamer enjoyed it for so long prior to the changes being made in Season 7. \u201cWhat did you do for over a year when health on elim wasn\u2019t around?\u201d he asked. Betar then went on to provide a perfect analogy for the current situation, replying that he \u201cdidn\u2019t have it?\u201d He goes on to argue that he used to love his \u201crazr flip phone\u201d, but now he is used to his smartphone, he would never use the flip phone again, as the smartphone is inherently better. I didn\u2019t have it? For example.. when I was younger I had a razr flip phone and I LOVED it\u2026 but once I finally got a smartphone\u2026 I liked it way more\u2026 so now (obviously) I\u2019m not going to use the razr even though I loved it before I had my smartphone..https:\/\/t.co\/UXZM1VNogf \u2014 timthetatman (@timthetatman) March 30, 2019 It comes just hours after Ninja posted a poll asking whether the community thinks the patch should be reverted or not \u2013 and over 85% of the 270,000 votes have said they believe the update should be reverted. Tim\u2019s point summarises how a large portion of the community feels, with other prominent figures such as \u2018NoahJ456\u2019 and \u2018dakotaz\u2019 responding positively. There has, as of yet, been no response from developers Epic Games on the update, but given the extent of the community\u2019s displeasure, it is likely we will see an official response soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
