Fortnite players are done with \u201csweats invading\u201d public lobbies again Epic GamesThe Fortnite community has once more sounded the alarm about \u201csweats invading\u201d public lobbies typically filled with regular players. Sweats aren\u2019t often looked upon fondly in the Fortnite community, with many viewing these types of players as try-hards who should be playing Ranked matches. Of course, part of the disdain stems from the frustration of losing to someone much better at the game. But there\u2019s also the issue of a player simply knowing they never even stood a chance. Redditor Anxious_Dott broached the topic again in a post that has garnered lots of traction, thus far. \u201cYou just got off an 8-hour shift and are greeted by these two,\u201d reads the caption for a screenshot of two players standing over the Redditor post-defeat. One of the victors poses with a pillow to show off their 75 battle royale wins in an emote. Naturally, this sparked discourse about the highly-skilled sweats who spend time in public lobbies instead of competing with peers in Fortnite\u2019s Ranked offerings. One person wrote in the replies, \u201cYeah idk why sweats are invading pubs again\u2026 Why don\u2019t they just play ranked? Maybe they are high-skill for pubs but low-skill in comparison to Ranked players?\u201d Others pointed out that some streamers who are \u201cway too op for normal lobbies\u201d do this as well, just so they have an advantage. The user went on to note that such problems probably wouldn\u2019t keep arising if Epic Games implemented a better matchmaking system. Sweats aren\u2019t the only issue plaguing public Fortnite games, either. 100 Thieves\u2019 Jack Dunlop argues that Epic should make \u201creducing the amount of AI in public games\u201d its top priority for the battle royale. \u201cIt\u2019s killing the thrill of the game,\u201d Dunlop continued in a post on Twitter\/X. Several people chimed in to agree, with one user saying that battling AI squad for minutes on end always \u201ckills the fun.\u201d How developers plan on addressing these complaints in future updates remains to be seen, yet it\u2019s clear Fortnite players are eager for improvements that result in better-balanced public matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
