Fortnite players are quitting Ranked already due to one major issue Epic GamesFortnite entered the ring with other battle royales such as Apex Legends and Warzone by introducing a Ranked mode. However, players are already abandoning ranked in favor of normal matches. It\u2019s become common practice for battle royales to introduce ranked game modes. Respawn completely overhauled Apex Legends Ranked in May by improving matchmaking and removing splits. During the same month, Warzone 2 released its own competitive game mode. Giving players something to play for and work toward is a great way to incentivize more playtime. But that doesn\u2019t mean it works for every game. Despite introducing Ranked Play, Warzone 2 player count numbers have plummeted. Warzone\u2019s dip doesn\u2019t all fall on the shoulders of Ranked Play, but Fortnite is also experiencing growing pains with its competitive mode. Fortnite players slam long Ranked queue times Epic Games asked players on Twitter what their ranks are after the mode\u2019s first two weeks in action. Instead of sharing their rank, community members complained about the mode being ruined by long wait times for matches. 100 Thieves Co-Owner Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop responded: \u201cUnfortunately like many people have said, we\u2019ve all stopped playing due to long queue times.\u201d CouRage suggested that the mode being on one server would help, but his suggestion was met with pushback. Players argued that matches would feel terrible playing with high ping against users from other regions. And some argued that building would be nearly impossible with a poor server connection. The streamer wasn\u2019t alone in his struggles, however. A second player added: \u201cStopped playing cause it takes too long to get matches.\u201d Fortnite streamer FaZe Replays also claimed: \u201cI\u2019ve been struggling to get into games ever since about a week now.\u201d Replays believes that the long queue times may be a glitch, and he urged the developers to look into the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
