Fortnite: Epic Games reveal all the reasons why Turbo Building was nerfed Epic GamesFortnite nerfed turbo building in patch 10.20 and the competitive players have been riled up about it, but Epic explained why that decision was made. Turbo building is essential for the top-tier Fortnite players to \u201ccrank 90s\u201d which is why they were so upset when they saw the nerf come in. However, Epic explains there were actually a number of good reasons for this nerf, wiht one of them being it benefited low ping players disproportionately. Having 0 ping allows players to \u201ctake walls\u201d and Epic doesn\u2019t want it to be as simple as that going forward. Another reason they gave is it was too easy to defend with and cited that one player could defend against an entire squad by just holding the button down.

Going forward, Epic Games will be building upon this nerf by making some adjustments that won\u2019t make building as powerful as it is now. Instead of prioritizing lower ping, Epic plans on implementing a completely different way to decide who gets a wall. Here are the methods Epic are considering: Coin flip between people not currently owning the building piece – Coin flip between everyone trying to build – Favor person currently owning building piece – Epic explains the decision wasn\u2019t made to stop players from performing 90s or adding a floor to stop a long fall, so they are aware of the issues that came from that. At the end of all this, it sounds like the main reasoning is they want to eliminate the major benefits that come with 0 ping. Players will still have some positives from playing on lower ping but it won\u2019t be as powerful as it was anymore. Epic believes they are leveling the playing field for everyone by doing this but only time will tell if that\u2019s the case. For the time being, players are still upset and we\u2019ll have to see how they adjust to the patch going forward.
