Fortnite players confused by \u2018horrible\u2019 rank distribution FortniteFortnite players are baffled by the high number of Elite and Champion ranked players compared to Zero Build. Fortnite began appealing to a different group of competitive players when they introduced Zero Build. This mode would force players to rely on fighting skill alone and know how quickly they could build cover. There are 17 ranks that can be reached in Fortnite. It starts at Bronze 2 and builds up to \u2018Unreal\u2019 which is the highest rank that can be achieved in either mode. With Zero Build came the introduction of ranked play for both modes. Players could decide if they wanted to rank up with or without builds, but the ranking would be separate for each. Fortnite players call out campers in build ranked In a Reddit thread posted to the official Fortnite page, one user took a screenshot of the current rank distribution to discuss it. The information was from Fortnite Tracker, which gives a rough idea of the current distribution. There is an even distribution of players ranging from Bronze to Diamond, but the majority of players are ranked within the highest three \u2013 Elite, Champion and Unreal. \u201cIt\u2019s easier to camp and avoid fights in builds and get consistent placement points,\u201d said one commenter. \u201cYou just farm everything you need in the most remote POI, then camp in a box until late game.\u201d Meanwhile Zero Build has a much different rank distribution, with less than 4% of the player base ranked within the top three categories. Those underneath the Reddit page suggested that campers were not the only reason to blame for the lack of balance. \u201cBecause it\u2019s not a real ranked mode,\u201d said another user. \u201cI came 33rd with 1 kill in Diamond 3 earlier and was promoted to Elite with about 25% progress towards Champion. Real ranked modes punish you for not performing. This doesn\u2019t. It\u2019s just a climb to the top. I feel like Epic is scared that if people aren\u2019t constantly rewarded, they won\u2019t play.\u201d Fortnite Season OG ends on December 2, which closes Chapter 4 of the game and welcomes in Chapter 5. This means ranks could be adjusted with the start of the new chapter. However, Epic Games has not made any official statement on the current ranked distribution imbalance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
