The Current Fortnite Meta Leaves Team Liquid\u2019s Poach Infuriated LiquidPoach \/ TwitterTeam Liquid\u2019s Jake \u2018Poach\u2019 Brumleve expressed his exasperation with the current Fortnite Battle Royale meta during a recent Twitch stream. The professional player encountered an opponent that tore through his walls quicker than he could build them, eventually eliminating him with a Minigun. Throughout the sequence Poach can be heard saying \u201care you trolling me? How many frigging walls has this man just fazed through?\u201d and \u201canybody not realize like how dumb this meta is? Am I the only one? Why is this a thing?\u201d After leaving the game, Poach exclaims: \u201cOh my fucking god, I hate this game, \u201cI build over him and immediately he just fazed right through, jumped right through that ramp, and then that was just awesome\u201d Poach is echoing the sentiments of many Fortnite players that have been left disillusioned by the meta changes in Season 5 that saw building get nerfed and weapons like submachine guns become significantly more powerful. Some players have taken to calling it the \u201cspray and pray\u201d meta due to the shift from shotguns, precision shots, and building battles to a game that is more forgiving of running at opponents and shooting an SMG as they struggle to build their defences. In a Reddit thread discussing the above clip, one user stated \u201cSpray and pray meta is so stupid. Completely ruins the fun and skill gap of building\u201d and another followed up with \u201cHold Mouse 1 + W is literally the new meta.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
