OpTic Crimsix thinks Epic Games are deliberately making Fortnite less competitive in the name of entertainment Epic GamesWhile Fortnite has come under immense scrutiny from sections of the competitive community following the addition of X-4 Stormwing planes and an overpowered Infinity Blade just before the Winter Royale tournament, Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter has a theory about Epic Games\u2019 strategy. The professional CoD player \u2013 who recently placed first with his team OpTic Gaming at the CWL Las Vegas Open 2019 \u2013 gave his opinion on the direction of competitive Fortnite during a Twitter exchange with esports consultant Rod \u2018Slasher\u2019 Breslau. \u201cEpic releasing game changing unbalanced updates the same day of a $1 Million Fortnite esports tournament and forcing players to compete in it is absolutely amateur hour,\u201d Breslau tweeted. Breslau went on to accuse Epic of making so many drastic changes on the eve of such a big tournament on purpose, and Crimsix agrees, claiming that their actions are more strategic than amateur hour. Crimsix believes it is \u20181000% on purpose\u2019, explaining that Epic have conceded that there game will never be recognized as truly competitive, and so are putting all their eggs in one basket, and trying to make it as entertaining as possible. 1000% it\u2019s on purpose. In my opinion, they\u2019ve realized that their game will never be the most competitive, but it can be the most entertaining. So they\u2019re sticking to their guns in that regard. \u2014 Ian (@OpTic_Crimsix) December 12, 2018 The two-time World Champion makes a valid point as well. Epic\u2019s decision to add X-4 Stormwing planes and an overpowered Infinity Sword might have ruffled a few feathers, as we\u2019ve seen with recent comments from Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins and others of late. But, if it was the developer\u2019s intention to make Fortnite entertaining and unpredictable, they\u2019re certainly succeeding in doing that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
