Team Liquid\u2019s Poach wants major changes made to Fortnite esports Twitter: Poach\/Epic GamesTeam Liquid\u2019s Jake \u2018Poach\u2019 Brumleve wants to see major changes made to Fortnite to help with the game\u2019s growth as a competitive esport. The esports side of Epic Games\u2019 free-to-play title has been continually growing over the past few months \u2013 with the studio kicking in plenty of money and hosting some top events. However, it\u2019s not enough for pros like Poach who want the skill of players to take precedent over factors they can\u2019t control. Poach criticized an aspect of Battle Royale games that not even the top level pro players can control \u2013 the RNG (Random Number Generator) \u2013 which contributes to a whole load of different factors in-game that deeply affect the outcome of pro matches. \u201cThe main focus of competitive Fortnite in its current state should be fixing all bugs,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cReducing end-game lag and finding a solution to have non-reliant (RNG) items for rotations\/end-game. These three issues cause 75% of deaths in high tier play.\u201d In a later tweet, he added: \u201cThere\u2019s way too many deaths in this game caused by stuff you cannot control and it removes all competitive integrity.\u201d There’s way too many deaths in this game caused by stuff you cannot control and it removes all competitive integrity. \u2014 POACH (@LiquidPoach) February 11, 2019 The RNG aspect of the game has been a criticism of Fortnite esports for quite some time, with the luck of the draw when it comes to looting or the zone shifting, amongst other things, taking away from the skill involved. Nevertheless, it does contribute to making each game different from another. While that may benefit casual players and fans of the game, it clearly has a massive impact on the competitive side of proceedings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
