Sorry for the lack of videos lately, had some crazy stuff going on the last few months especially with a bunch of travelling for casting / analysis work. Have plans to try and fix this for the future as I love making this content and want to keep up the 2x a week uploads.

The x2 points is a great idea. To clear up confusion. When looking at points from the game, you could have placement, elimination, 2x elimination. This would be a great utility for teams who are behind to utilize for a comeback.

What do you think about adding a surge bonus for actually securing the kill rather than just farming tags? So you get your surge tags like normal, but then you also get some number (50 or 100) of additional surge every time you secure an elimination. That will reward the players more aggressively finding surge rather than just sitting on a hill plinking 28s with an Aug.

Petition for reisshub to be a commentator on the next Fortnite world cup

Nah I disagree with you, the decline in viewerahip is mainly becuase of the decline of players playing comp in general. Annoying spray meta, server lags, poor lootpool etc. Actually the official broadcast always manage to find fights till endgame

this video is actually so good, the midgame of stacked games is actually pretty boring now that I think about it and your solution of rewarding midgame fights is elite. I hope epic sees this vid

Comp doesn’t feel like it used to be back in the days sadly

I'm happy that they added mid-game objectives like caches, towers & island

About decreasing the midgame zone times, idk if games are in any way different from competitive than regular battle royale, but if they’re the same then changing zone times would affect all players from all skill levels which Epic wouldn’t want

Great job on the video, sry about the update on storm surge the next day lol

I think rewarding Kills with more Points During a specific time Span would make It lese transparent to retrace the leaderboard

I think that the idea with double elim points in midgame isn't bad but it would ruin all low to mid point lobby's in cashcups where U get 10 player movings anyway

Imagine there was a surge multiplier for like shotgun damage. Wouldn't that encourage more close range fighting because teams could do all there surge in 1 fight and then focus rotating later on? Because the meta for midgame right now is just sitting on elevation getting AR tags (also because how laggy fighting is ofc.)

You still can make midgame shorter but you have to make sure there is enough good movement. + movement that doesn't effect other players.

If they gave as many drops as rocket league. Like actual items that aren’t sprays and emoticons I’d never stop watching. And also keep of who actually dies so we know who is still playing

put a meter range on surge in some parts of the zone, surge damage doesn’t count if you’re 10-25 boxes away from an opponent. forcing players to engage

bro predicted the enterity of chapter 4

with surge it is going to way harder to explain to casual people how it works, while before it was really easy to understand as there are only 3 thresholds at 3 key points in the game

1. Bring back Stark Season Meta and Lootpool 2. Make Arena more rewarding while increasing points for kills. 3. Make the game as non-ping reliant as possible. AND BOOM! You have a good game. (Also make the game look more colorful and vibrant. Basically give it the old vibe it use to have.)

Once again amazing editing work Reiss. Really great video.

I watched Aussie Antics VP for semis and it was a lot more entertaining than previous seasons. One big problem ive noticed is when a player is rebooted the team lose that players surge damage very unfair

I mean if fortnite actually cared much about the comp scene they would do the obvious and give what the players want ( not like more prize pol or shit like that, just vault smg, the meta is ass, bring back late game, and actually try to make arena competitive), but ofc none of this will happen, epic are just patting them selves in the back thinking the games being more difficult so there are less people competing, Like NO, people cant be bothered to play in this current state of the game. Also the server lag is unbearable, the comp scene is in a crippling state and honestly lost all hope in the game to actually fix things for the better

Haven't finished vid yet but so far so good! keep it up

Ofc Reiss comes back w/ a *BANGER* ! This such a great video. I think Jur3ky in your twitter comments is on to something.

i think adding a placmeent kills system would work like in apex legends which in early game grants no points then goes to 1 then 2 then goes to 4 then so on and on. this might reward placement and getting those clutches feel more worth while. however the downside would be if you live till end game and win your points would get out of hand and could place so high with a high kill win. in apex you get max 125 points for the final kill of the game which grants you so many points which could set you apart from the rest of the comp scene if this was in fortnite

Top notch video, great to see u back!

Kills should count toward storm surge in my opinion rather than just damage. I've won my spawn fights and been below storm surge on more than one occasion. If kills were weighted heavily toward storm surge compared to damage, this would also encourage more fighting rather than just long range tags.

I would propose a waning elimination point boost beginning from the beginning of the match until the 20:00 mark. The first 2:00 minutes get a 2x multiplier, the second 2:00 get a 1.9x multiplier, the third 2:00 get a 1.8x multiplier, etc. This encourages more contested drops and fighting earlier in the game with diminishing rewards towards the end of the match to boost better end-game strategies.

or just make damage surge to be in a closer range which would force people to fight

I kind of like those not as stacked end games like we had on late chapter 1 and early chapter 2

Shortening the mid game would not make the game more random or luck based, people would just be more inclined to drop closer to the center of the map where it’s easier for them to stay in zone. It would be more difficult and more crowded, less players landing on the edge of the map. Probably would be more entertaining too

Put launchpad towers on the edge of the map. Then they could rotate better. People would land edge map in pubs more too

Giving money per elimination to the team who has the most kills during midgame and throwing something more tempting like automatic qualifying for the next big event if certain conditions are met, may work

I think that making the fortnite map smaller would lead to more fighting in the midgame. It would make the zone close in faster, but still give teams time to loot off spawn and rotate. This is what makes apex legends fun to watch throughout the entire match.

thats crazy i was just staying up watching ur vids and refresh and u posted a new one for us

When i played scrims/tournaments alot i used to love boxing up on hills n shit, best bit of the match lmao

This video is so well thought out and so well said thank you reisshub

Mate mid game is hella important my be boring but it’s important and Aussie antics casts most events on the main regions and Timmy does oce + other regions will have their own cast

Absolutely enjoyed this video as usual :) you are the best!

Even tho it’s been going down I got back into playing and watching comp fortnite 🔥🔥

The new surge tactic should only be for round 2-4, opens is way too chaotic and there are already a good amount of fighting

they need to have the kill feed up at all times! that way we know if the player we are supporting has been killed

I think storm surge needs to be active in arena contenders league so newer players can expririence the real competetive gaming in FN

What a great video produced, your videos are always satisfying to watch. Terrific!

I think in pubs before first circle there’s already like under 60-50 players which is insane to think that in comp there could be over 70 players after 3rd zone 🤯

id like a tournament test giving points depending on how many zones you live through on top of placement and kills. might be a bad idea but who knows

I dont like watching competitive but the way you present is makes it interesting to watch

what if they give another point per kill to encourage people to fight a little bit more and can allow for some more comebacks if some gets an insane amount of kills

My dream solution, make the map smaller maybe even by alot and maybe a little less players per match. Would make everything go quicker.

ur so good i don’t play fn but still watch u

I was stalking your channel an am now early

This is what happen when you forced a not competitive game to be competitive, It doesn't work and all the players will camp for all the matches

Honestly I want to know if going back to lan tourneys will help increase viewership

I love these vids you make reisshub

imagine if in competitive, besides the random bus track in the map also we get to see a storm location (that erases 20% of the map) right in the beginning of the match, and then it’s fine to low the midgame time

I would make the map smaller, nobody cares about some parts of the map, especially that beach island parts, just take them out, this would make the mid game shorter, the map more appealling and fighting of spawn really exciting as you can get faster to other near fights that are happening.

What If epic reduced the Server Performance drastically on purpose in Order to Change the storm surge mechanic. BC last time the Feedback wasnt that great and they want more content for the Cast During mid game

this is why late game arena was the best gamemode

I’ll shorten it down for you: Optimal Fortnite, and optimal BRs in general, is a boring viewing experience. It’s literally just players avoiding each other until they physically can’t do so or they get a super safe kill. If someone gets you with one pellet from a gray pump, you should immediately run away and preserve your HP. It doesn’t matter whether you prefer builds or zero builds, the current season, the current lootpool, or anything for that matter; BRs are boring to watch unless you can deal with the big issues they have: - Third parties - Chipping for free with no consequences - RNG determining matches Nobody cares about how optimal your positioning is, especially not a newer viewing audience. They want to see clear demonstrations of game skill, which is from fighting. Fortnite is the worst BR for discouraging fights, so nobody is gonna watch

I think they should add storm surge for different guns like shotguns so they will fight

Love the idea of surge changes. Hope that helps with performance and an increase in action. The other problem with competitive Fortnite viewership is the players and analysts telling people the game sucks. Years of negative marketing from influential people takes its toll and it's silly to believe otherwise. Think how this video might have been different if it just focused on the surge changes and how cool that might be along with other ideas for improvement.

As a viewer i never watch any mid game, and if i do i only do it to see how pros are moving to get a good positioning.

Just change the meta, lootpool and the map, thats what made fortnite competitive so popular on c2 s2/s3/s4

The new surge change is very good for the mid game

I think the decline in viewership has as much to do with people being sick of confusing and ugly 50 man final zones with everyone tunneling/turtling. People liked that back in 2019, but in 2022, it's predictable and stale.

Tbh,i understand the ppl who hate midgame,the only reason i like it is because im trying to become pro so i need to watch to improve,but its not as fun as early game and end game

I feel like it’s the map size that makes mid game so bad. The map is too big everyone is spread out. The chapter 1 map had people not so far from each-other which just made it make sense to fight.

Add 50 more players. Auto-delete all builds and irrelevant data outside of early circles to increase server performance

idk if its a good idea but maybe try to do 5 points per kill in midgame and normal points per kill in endgame

The new surge changes should help a little bit but I think it will quite quickly get boring, anyway we will see how it works in heats tonight

I think world cup would be better if they let me fly around dropping legendary loot.

Now de storm surge changed completely

yo epic actually listened

For me this released at 4. Am

What if they made the map around 25% smaller?

Couldn’t they just make the map smaller? Increase the amount of materials you get from harvesting and maybe increase the loot, wouldn’t this kind of sort out the boring mid-game by a bit? I understand some people like the big map and I do too, but if it makes it more enjoyable to watch surely that’s better for the game in the long-run.

Love your videos but I had to slow this down to .75 speed to catch what you were saying bro! much love x

I honestly just don’t like watching the fortnite broadcast if much rather just watch some one stream their pov but no one does that now a days

IMO Fortnite messed up with competitive from the start.They should’ve started with squad tournaments.When comp started there were many orgs that had full Fortnite “teams” that were set up for squads.Faze,Liquid,NRG,TSM the list goes on.And still to this day they’ve never had a FNCS for squads.So what happened?Well all the big orgs pulled out and they either shut the team down or the players quit.Having these orgs interested and having a team dedicated to your game was huge.The orgs and players would’ve bolstered the hype thru their socials which could’ve created team tribalism much like team based sports do.Kind of like OWL did, their problem tho was Overwatch wasn’t very interesting to watch as a spectator and to anyone that didn’t play the game it was hard to follow what was going on.But still I think Fortnite would’ve benefited from an approach like that and once they crowned the best team, then they could’ve started breaking it down to duos and solos.At that point they would’ve started developing “stories” and narrative to draw spectators in and keep things entertaining.Like whatever squad won, well now we get to find out who was carrying the team, was it the aggressive player with god given aiming ability or the IGL with rock solid mechanics and game sense?Or if a squad had a fallout and disbanded or a player got kicked, well now how will they do against each other?Will the kicked player redeem themselves and get revenge, or will it be proven they were the weak link that needed to be cut??And I’ve felt this way since they started comp, so this is just the tip of the iceberg on my opinion of Fortnite’s comp scene.I could go on and on about the mistakes they’ve made pertaining to the way they structured competitive.

If a kill gives 2 points the player that can fight are going to wcay and the players that have to rotate becouse are late or want to loot can,

Great video!

big issue fortnute competitive the loot pool we should have Normal ar grey ledgendarh Heavy assualt rifle green to blue Pump shotty Charge shotty normal smg grey to blue bolt sniper one shot headshot

I don’t even watch competitive , who likes to watch try hards build castles

I think another big reason why people stopped watching competitive is Performance Mode, it honestly just looks terrible from a viewers perspective. Dx11 is better

Simple solution, turn all tournaments and arena into late game arena

I watch a lot of competitive fortnite and really I think it’s the weapons I just don’t like that’s in competitive right now. Like I don’t mind watching a whole game it’s enjoyable I can see how it might be boring to the casual audience but let’s be real that casual audience the reason they don’t know strategies and why teams do what they do in those mid games. Is because a lot of the time their games only last 14 minutes at most because everyone is w keying. so to punish competive fortnite for them being overly aggressive in there match doesn’t make sense since they don’t have anything on the line.

Just double or triple points for kills at certain points in the match, this way teams don’t have to fight but teams that want to in order to get a boost in points can.

They should just speed up zones

Just make the map smaller and kills worth more

Great video as always 👌🏻

They could just have reisshub explain it to us

yo god vids lately

Reisshub i think because of this video they're making the map smaller for more action

i think the games decline is the reason for the drop in competitive its so repetitive

another reason is that it is absolut boring to watch no name teams in fncs qualifiers and heats (no offense to those teams) because everyone already qualed. Even though i think the system to qual improved over time fncs still is no proper competitive system for this game, its boring to watch and also boring to play because for lower ranked players there is nothing to play

I think Fortnite should add a no edit mode and see if players would like it

V spit facts

Endgames are way too congested and I think less players would be better.

epic could also possibly add something like a loot refill between early and end game to give players another reason to fight

Competitive Fortnite has been completely broken going back to the World Cup days. Other than the obsessed, no one wants to watch 20 minutes of people avoiding each other for placement, or watch 50 man final zones with everyone turtling up. With so many players in such a small zone, it becomes a confusing mess and very much impossible to follow everyone. An utter joke, tbh. Idk what they need to do *now* but frankly, I think they were on the right path when they nerfed turbo building after world cup. Either way, they need more action in the mid game, and way fewer people at the end, and tunneling/turtling needs to stop.
