of what i've seen on reddit, there is a huge chunk of people who don't want a stressful or hard experience playing against real players. They just want lobbies where they can chill, complete challenges and win without breaking a sweat. That said, the other side is totally against bots, rightfully so, we all know the reasons. So having an option of turning bot lobbies off and on in settings is the best solution.
i can't believe people were actually begging for bots like it's a BATTLE ROYALE game you are not meant to win every couple games. Winning actually felt so rewarding when it was with only actual people. The whole vibe falls off with bots, it literally dilutes all aspects of the game (kills, wins, anything)
@@lnDomitable1 it's crazy how enjoyable the game was in the last day compared to the past few years. i don't think it was the artstyle, or even bullet drop that was ruining the game, i think it was actually the ai bots. I won one game with the all real player lobbies and i haven't been so pumped about the game in a while. Now it just feels disingenuous and watered down
@@moe4138 before they added bots, yes it was a tiny amount of fun because you knew when you killed someone it was a real player. It was rewarding but you failed to grasp that everyone was sweaty as hell before they added bots every time I tried the OG mode. Someone was always on the ground and gun down everyone who is gliding in or just somehow knew where you were if though you were crouching or got triple edited piece stuff whatever the freaking Fortnite words are
Bots have annoyed me since Chapter 2. Ever since they were added. I just couldn't enjoy the game as much. The first 2 days of OG were beautiful. Then Epic shits on it again
Same. I said in Season X when bots were announced, that bots would ruin the game, and they definitely did. I've hated bots ever since. I'd rather get my butt kicked every match. Skill Based? I guess. Bots? No.
No they haven't! If your sweaty enough to complain about bots you will be in a lobby with only about 10. That's part of the SBMM system. Bots are good for people that just want to have fun and dick around in a match like the good old days with out some 12 year old all jacked up on mountain dew jumping us. Bots are good.
@@uberark3153 Bro only the top of the top players get the 10 bot lobbies. I've seen streamers like SypherPK and Typical Gamer who are way more cracked than most people running into tons of bots. Most people fall into that "middle" range that gets 10-90 bots. It varies for me. Skill Based seems to kick me back and forth. I cycle between getting my rear handed to me, then getting bumped down to a bot heavy lobby, and winning vs 20 or 30 real players. It sucks.
Idk how people want bots. I misses the times where if you were getting your arse kicked you would lock in and get good. Nowadays people feel like they're entilted to a win yet they fail to understand fighting bots is such an underwhelming experience
ive been playing since chapter 2 season 2 (as in actually started trying to play, if we talking acc made thats chapter 1 season 5), and it genuinly took me a few hours of playing to realize there was 0 bots in og. it lowkey felt good after i got my first win after a day, but at the same time was kinda hard (i would either fight bugha 2.0 or peterbots child)
It's not so much feeling entitled to win, it's more feeling entitled to enjoying the game, which I think is fair. It's about being casual, letting off some steam after work or school. If you drop in and there's sweats in every lobby, that feels like shit. It actually turned me off from OG. I agree that winning against bots has less weight than if it's players, but I'd rather a consistent 8/10 game over the occasional 10/10 in a sea of 5/10 games. That being said, I agree it should be separate. I'd say that bots are more for the casual players, so should stay in the casual/public playlist. If you really want to go against 100 players, you probably have a more competitive mindset that ranked is designed for.
its not about winning. Its about being able to dick around and have fun in a match without lil Timmy jumping your shit like its the world cup not everybody plays to win but its really annoying when sweats end your match early
Me and my friend queued in to a squad fills game yesterday, but the 2 fills died of spawn and left. Me and my friend lived, we made it to the last squad and won. The feeling of Finally winning after fighting a lobby of real people is a feeling I’ve not had in a long time.
Seriously, Fortnite should add an option whether to play with real players, bots or both. As a casual player, I do struggle against most players I find mainly because I don't play to tryhard, I play to have fun. Getting owned every single time doesn't feel like fun anymore. I want at least a chance. Make in through most of the game, get some kills, if I win good. If I don't at least I had a good game, but if I'm constantly against players who are by far better than me, I can't even make top 50. Playing with bots should be an option. Let players looking for the thrill play against real players and let those who struggle in better lobbies fight easier enemies, it's that simple. Epic's decision to force bots into every game is a bit controversial.
I want to preface this with saying that I am not a sweat at all. I can barely build let alone edit but I did not understand why people were so mad with no sbmm and no bots because it really was not that hard
Those people don't understand how hard it was to win when you were a beginner in chapter 1. Like i only won ONCE each Season and was getting carried hard but those people don't understand that not winning everytime doesn't make it Bad instead it will make the win actually rewarding
@ so many people now think that you need to win to have fun, but you really don’t. So many of my best memories at this game comes from the games I didn’t win.
@@Dracula-m2k "a lot of sweats" pure skill issue, get better the games been out for 7 + years now complaining that people are better than you is wild. The only reason bots would be needed is if there arent enough players queuing at like 2 or 3 am but that rarely happens cuz its fortnite

Dude, I like the bots but not 90 of them. I’ve been playing since chapter 1 season 5 and I only play casually now. I don’t have time to learn to build fight because I actually have stuff to do, so not everyone feels like that. I think there should be a max of like 20 bots in a lobby.
I honestly like the bots because they simulate actual noobs from CH1 S1. Like how it used to be. It makes it feel more OG. You know a player is a sweat if they don't like seeing the occasional noob or bot.
As someone who came back to Fortnite after multiple months, it can only get so OG. The new movement changes everything, and nobody really knew how to build or edit back then. The people that complain saying that winning against real players is rewarding have a point, but they fail to fathom that not everyone is/has been spending half of their life getting good at the game. Some of us want a chill OG experience without getting beamed upon landing for 4 hours straight
I collect win umbrellas so I try to win. BUT when 99 players are sweating their nuts off and ruining my casual gaming in the gamemode that was my childhood, its not fun
I don't think the people who want bots realize that there will ALWAYS be players at an equal skill level or worse than them no matter how bad you are. Bots are not the answer, an effective skill based matchmaking system would yield the same result for players: an easier time winning in which every player you face isn't a soulless line of code.
I think sbmm is also pretty dumb. Did you really win a match if people better than you were purposefully put in a different match? It's definitely more tolerable than bots tho.
Yes, apparently some people are somehow so miraculously bad at this game that has been out longer than most of its players have been alive for, and need the equivalent of a toddler playing with a toy controller to be their opponents to remotley stand a chance
I agree that there should a bots on/ off feature, but saying bots are bad I personally disagree because it helps people like me that that just get on the game when they can and play games or level up.
The thing is that the community did this to itself. Epic added bots to OG because on every piece of social media advertising OG there were hundreds of comments complaining that the game was “too sweaty.” The only logical solution to that complaint is to add SBMM and consequently bots. The community has to realize that Epic can’t realistically satisfy both those who hate the sweats and those who hate the bots. I agree though that the game should be hard and players these days feel too entitled to wins.
Bots make the game boring, and I am a bad player. It is so demoralizing to have to kill bots instead of having the satisfaction of real players. OG Fortnite should have a ranked mode. NO SBMM FOR OG FORTNITE!!
The "On/Off" solution might sound weird; literally saying in people's faces if they want an easy win or not. But i really doubt anyone thinks these fortnite AIs are real players to begin with. Let us have the OG feel of hearing a footstep and not having to wonder if you should be careful or not, Epic!
first of all y’all ngas were complaining about the sweats and not that theres bots yall complain about those DO YALL ALWAYS NEED TO BE UNGRATEFUL?? JUST BE HAPPY FOR ONCE GOD
@headsinbuckets My comment was never complaining about "sweats", all i said was that the game was more fun with the lobbies being 100 real players instead of 50 real players 50 bots. No need to get so fucking aggressive, it's a youtube comment.
No they haven't! If your sweaty enough to complain about bots you will be in a lobby with only about 10. That's part of the SBMM system. Bots are good for people that just want to have fun and dick around in a match like the good old days with out some 12 year old all jacked up on mountain dew jumping us. Bots are good.
Fr, SBMM is a great change because it lets old players come back and play against people who aren't very good either. if I came back after 7 years to OG without SBMM the way it was a day ago I would probably give up after dying within 2 minutes 10 times. Bots on the other hand are just dumb.
Yes definitely SBMM was introduced in season 10 but bots weren’t introduced until chapter 2 so there was a period in fortnite where there was SBMM but no bots
You speak for the silent vast majority who want to have a casual game play, do quests and occasionally to get in the top six and start stressing for a possible win.
Literal horrible players who can't do anything and haven't experienced the real struggles of winning in chapter 1 complained about bots and sbmm being removed. As we all know epic loves to listen to this type of players but everything we say wont matter to them
As someone who can only play on Switch Lite this is actually helpful. I always have to go against a few real players to win a match anyways. But its so much harder to get even close to winning when the lobby is full of people with at least twice the frame rate on any other console, but mostly PC players with over 5x the fps. Not to mention the vastly superior view distanxe they have, and the bigger screen. Meanwhile im stuck on the equivalent of Performance Mode on PC, but capped at 30 fps, on controller, on a screen smaller than my phone. Having entire lobbies full of PC players means I either won a fight against an objectively bad player, or got deleted instantly by someone who could see me before its even possible for me to see them. the only way I would ever be able to win is if I got good loot off spawn, hid all match, then got lucky enough so that the last player wasnt a sweaty PC player with 300 fps. But considering they're the last person alive, odds arent exactly in my favor. And that's just not fun. My point, bots probably shouldnt be enabled in OG for everyone, but Switch players with an objective disadvantage should be able to turn off cross platform lobbies. Or they could just sinply have an option to turn bot lobbies on/off. Being in a lobby full of PC players with 300 fps and better performance in general makes it pretty much impossible for me to win unless I get very lucky.
I dont care if its “more fun to kill real players” (its not it doesnt feel ANY DIFFERENT) there is ZERO reason why im constantly stuck in Unreal rank lobbies when im not even in ranked OR am that good.
you’re upset that people have jobs and still play the game? also i work 66 hour weeks and go to the gym and play but i hate the bots because there’s not satisfaction in it.
@@Kit____it's kinda annoying when I ether get edit coursed on when I shoot someone once or get 3rd partied after a fight and don't get me started on getting randomly sniped
Gotta be real, I’m a true OG player, at this point pushing 30 years old lol. I don’t got the time to be actually ‘good’ at fort with the continuous updates and changes. I got absolutely ripped the first day of OG, everyone in my lobbies were cranking triple edits on me. I need me at least a FEW bots 💀
@@Valkern_09 their skill based matchmaking feels pretty bad atm… like I know kids playing on switch (trash players) that consistently get sweaty lobbies. Skill based used to be great honestly, minimal bots w a pretty even skill base of real players. idk where the disconnect happened but it seems it did
If you want to get rid of bots just get wins. Skill based will move you up quick. If you have lots of bots in your lobby it’s because you’re not sweating yet.🤷🏻♂️😂
Bots are just a way of lying to players. I'd be fine if they were honest about only having 60 players in a match with SBMM, but instead they pretend its a full lobby by faking the rest of the players
The game is a struggle? What? It’s takes effort to get kills? What? It takes a lot of effort to get wins? What? You’re telling me that the OG mode plays like OG fortnite? Unbelievable
you kinda already said it yourself tho, there IS a bots on/off button it’s called playing ranked or not, they probably don’t want to add that specific button for the same reason they added bots in the first place, it makes people(kids/noobs/causals) feel better about there gameplay, the bots toggle being called ranked makes it just feel nicer and if u genuinely want a competitive experience you can do that
Then there's me who plays ranked and just camps because the devs promote survival over fighting.... Fr, for the past several seasons I've spent like 70% of the season just sitting on my phone waiting for storm circles to close. It's honestly exhausting...
Hi, HJDoogan. I think you should also talk about turbo building. It used to be a lot harder to build and was only really present in the form of ramp pushing and forts, now people are cranking and it's not fun to play against. Yes I can sweat and crank, and after a fight I just feel exhausted rather than rewarded. They did nerf it in S10 but that was just bad timing in my opinion, with mechs and the minigun. But hear me out, when that turbo building nerf came out, all the remains of build fights I saw around the map looked like they came from early season 3.
the most stupid thing is that i want to be in bot lobbies and i even have an secondary account on level 0 to (if everything is alright) get bot lobbies, yet i get lobbies full of players that want to qualify for tourdaments
People forget winning is the end goal of this game. And while a challenge is great, losing for 8 whole hours due to no kind of sorting or bots will demotivate the majority of players. Bots are less frequent if you are more skilled at the game, and if you really want it to be hard, then just play ranked, where there are no bots. Fortnite is a business and as such they want to maximize profits by ensuring they maintain a steady player count
So glad someone said it and even with bots it still takes hours and days to win(for me) I think it’s just people get too competitive and try to make a casual game competitive
Yes, and winning used to be incredibly hard. Tik tok brain rot has ruined people’s attention spans and they cannot fathom going multiple hours without a win because they need that quick dopamine rush
I went on average 1 solo win per season back in chapter one but it was still the most fun I have had in fortnite you don’t need to win to have fun bots just make lobbies lifeless every since they added bots lobbies go down a lot quicker than they use to ruining mid game
I played ten OG games before the change (where there were not bots and people of all ranks were in there) and decided to never touch it again. Virtually all the players were pros so it was no fun and I noticed the vast majority of comments last weekend agreed with this.
They added bots not only because of those reasons in the video but because of the massive player count that will go down in the future once Fortnite OG is a normal thing for people. People will get bored and there will be games with less than 100 people in every match!
i play on a potato laptop thats sold for around 50 bucks and with the lags i am loosing against bots so this helped me to get a win after hours of gameplay
This hasn’t been my experience at all lol im getting got by real players and have only seen like 3 bots out of maybe 7-10 matches but I also don’t look at the killfeed as much as I used to and that’s the easiest way to tell if it’s a bot. Im not even good. Overall, from season 2 til now I have like a 1.2KD and a 3% win rate lol
I think there's a good argument to be made for bots on the game, especially for the newer players that want to have that OG experience everyone talks about but felt let down when getting sent back to the lobby in 5 seconds. As well as the sweats being very annoying to fight against, because in the OG times every players was kind of new, all the player base was learning how to get better at the same time, but now with a mix of very new players and very old players there's really a big gap in the skill for the game, so adding a SBMM is an optimal solution. That being said, all of this argument would be valid if we didn't already have another battle Royale mode that already had SBMM called Chapter 6 Season 1, if the newer players want to have a calm experience with no sweats they can just go normal battle Royale and stay there while the people who truly waited for the OG map to happen again can enjoy Chapter 1 once again
But since people are complaining about bots, they should add a new SBMM system where they put the noobs in noob lobbies, the decent players in decent lobbies, and the sweats in sweaty lobbies, so it would be a way more fun and fair experience instead of having bots to balance out the lobbies.
I've had more fun getting beamed these past 2 days by sweats in ZB (in fact, I even got a W and the umbrella which was what I was after so after that, I started playimg more casually) than having to deal with the bots bs again.
I honestly agree with how the community feels I only had gotten 1 win when og dropped and although I lost so many games, when I finally got that win after so many hours it felt satisfying and made me feel like i was good because I got a win, now that bots are in og I get maybe 3-4 bots a game that I eliminate it doesn’t feel rewarding at all because I don’t wanna fight bots I wanna fight real players, that’s what made chapter 1 feel so rewarding to win in
Easiest Solution right surely?
Ye

I will keep playing because im not a cry baby
you lost me with this one
If we stop playing they won't remove bots they'll remove the whole gamemode 😭
The thing is that the community did this to itself. Epic added bots to OG because on every piece of social media advertising OG there were hundreds of comments complaining that the game was “too sweaty.” The only logical solution to that complaint is to add SBMM and consequently bots. The community has to realize that Epic can’t realistically satisfy both those who hate the sweats and those who hate the bots. I agree though that the game should be hard and players these days feel too entitled to wins.
Bots make the game boring, and I am a bad player. It is so demoralizing to have to kill bots instead of having the satisfaction of real players. OG Fortnite should have a ranked mode. NO SBMM FOR OG FORTNITE!!
🙏
players make the game worse
@headsinbucketsthen play save the world lil bro 💀🙏 cause idk how you find killing bots so satisfying
@@woundleit’s way more fun than being killed every single game. Not everyone can just naturally get good at the game
@@woundle what does stw has to do here "lil bro"💀
Epic games shat themselfs again.
nah yall shat yallselves again
The "On/Off" solution might sound weird; literally saying in people's faces if they want an easy win or not. But i really doubt anyone thinks these fortnite AIs are real players to begin with.
Let us have the OG feel of hearing a footstep and not having to wonder if you should be careful or not, Epic!
But the reason why bots exist is for new players to train their aim so that they can be good in the future
70-90 percent of the lobby is bots… that is INSANE why even play online atp…??
Fr ruins the purpose of a multiplayer game
think it should be separate game modes but cant lie it is ruined by sweats
they literally ruined it by adding the bots
first of all y’all ngas were complaining about the sweats and not that theres bots yall complain about those DO YALL ALWAYS NEED TO BE UNGRATEFUL?? JUST BE HAPPY FOR ONCE GOD
@headsinbucketswhat’s with the unnecessary racism tho?
@@ErykRoll ffs not everyone is white so u can get that reply outta here💀
@@ErykRoll like bruh do i sound white to you?
@headsinbuckets My comment was never complaining about "sweats", all i said was that the game was more fun with the lobbies being 100 real players instead of 50 real players 50 bots. No need to get so fucking aggressive, it's a youtube comment.
Epic Games makes it easier for children because the children’s parents give them the most money
No they haven't! If your sweaty enough to complain about bots you will be in a lobby with only about 10. That's part of the SBMM system. Bots are good for people that just want to have fun and dick around in a match like the good old days with out some 12 year old all jacked up on mountain dew jumping us. Bots are good.
bots are bad plain and simple
I like having bots as it feels like og as people weren't as good and everyone in my servers are absolute sweats and I can't even get a kill
I’m in favour of SBMM - but surely with the amount of players in OG you can get full skill based lobbies without needing bots to fill in??
Fr, SBMM is a great change because it lets old players come back and play against people who aren't very good either. if I came back after 7 years to OG without SBMM the way it was a day ago I would probably give up after dying within 2 minutes 10 times. Bots on the other hand are just dumb.
Yes definitely SBMM was introduced in season 10 but bots weren’t introduced until chapter 2 so there was a period in fortnite where there was SBMM but no bots
i actually like enjoying my games, i dont spend my time here to get more stressed
You speak for the silent vast majority who want to have a casual game play, do quests and occasionally to get in the top six and start stressing for a possible win.
For one glorious day Fortnite was back. I just wish I played it more
There was nothing great about getting eliminated in one or two minutes along with sixty other people not to mention with no way to do quests.
Literal horrible players who can't do anything and haven't experienced the real struggles of winning in chapter 1 complained about bots and sbmm being removed. As we all know epic loves to listen to this type of players but everything we say wont matter to them
You know what else is massive? 0:41
My mom
As someone who can only play on Switch Lite this is actually helpful. I always have to go against a few real players to win a match anyways. But its so much harder to get even close to winning when the lobby is full of people with at least twice the frame rate on any other console, but mostly PC players with over 5x the fps. Not to mention the vastly superior view distanxe they have, and the bigger screen.
Meanwhile im stuck on the equivalent of Performance Mode on PC, but capped at 30 fps, on controller, on a screen smaller than my phone. Having entire lobbies full of PC players means I either won a fight against an objectively bad player, or got deleted instantly by someone who could see me before its even possible for me to see them. the only way I would ever be able to win is if I got good loot off spawn, hid all match, then got lucky enough so that the last player wasnt a sweaty PC player with 300 fps. But considering they're the last person alive, odds arent exactly in my favor. And that's just not fun.
My point, bots probably shouldnt be enabled in OG for everyone, but Switch players with an objective disadvantage should be able to turn off cross platform lobbies. Or they could just sinply have an option to turn bot lobbies on/off. Being in a lobby full of PC players with 300 fps and better performance in general makes it pretty much impossible for me to win unless I get very lucky.
On Friday i was dancing with a fellow black knight and now im trying to dance with bots
They need to make an OG OG gamemode with no bots, OG movement, only building (no zero build), and OG graphics
the sbmm filled my games up with sweats or bots 😭
Literally the same
I dont care if its “more fun to kill real players” (its not it doesnt feel ANY DIFFERENT) there is ZERO reason why im constantly stuck in Unreal rank lobbies when im not even in ranked OR am that good.
I hate these employed people that want bots
Cry
@ cry because your the one that can’t kill real players?
Imagine not being able to kill a single player
you’re upset that people have jobs and still play the game? also i work 66 hour weeks and go to the gym and play but i hate the bots because there’s not satisfaction in it.
@@Kit____it's kinda annoying when I ether get edit coursed on when I shoot someone once or get 3rd partied after a fight and don't get me started on getting randomly sniped
I don’t know why people are now complaining that bots are in the game even though they’ve been in the game for like 3 years now😭
Gotta be real, I’m a true OG player, at this point pushing 30 years old lol. I don’t got the time to be actually ‘good’ at fort with the continuous updates and changes. I got absolutely ripped the first day of OG, everyone in my lobbies were cranking triple edits on me. I need me at least a FEW bots 💀
That doesn’t solve anything though, skill based matchmaking solves that, not bots
Alright unc
@@Valkern_09 their skill based matchmaking feels pretty bad atm… like I know kids playing on switch (trash players) that consistently get sweaty lobbies. Skill based used to be great honestly, minimal bots w a pretty even skill base of real players. idk where the disconnect happened but it seems it did
If you want to get rid of bots just get wins. Skill based will move you up quick. If you have lots of bots in your lobby it’s because you’re not sweating yet.🤷🏻♂️😂
PLUH 🗣️🗣️
Love Ur vids ❤
Bots are just a way of lying to players. I'd be fine if they were honest about only having 60 players in a match with SBMM, but instead they pretend its a full lobby by faking the rest of the players
yall ngas ALWAYS complaining about everything EVEN bots
I dont want to win every game its so tiring
The Lobbies are so sweaty that i can't enjoy the game , I can't even land , im feel like I'm playing against FNCS pros
Then go play Ch6😂
The game is a struggle? What? It’s takes effort to get kills? What? It takes a lot of effort to get wins? What?
You’re telling me that the OG mode plays like OG fortnite? Unbelievable
@@VetroShorts no i chose what to play , i thought that im gonna re live the experience but yeah
People don't realize how hard it was to get wins/kills back in chapter 1. Back then, it was hard af. Kills and wins have gotten so inflated.
@@VetroShortsThe most useless answer
you kinda already said it yourself tho, there IS a bots on/off button it’s called playing ranked or not, they probably don’t want to add that specific button for the same reason they added bots in the first place, it makes people(kids/noobs/causals) feel better about there gameplay, the bots toggle being called ranked makes it just feel nicer and if u genuinely want a competitive experience you can do that
The thing is for some reason they have bots in ranked too
Another day, another loss for the OG 😔
They should make it so that you can toggle bots and sbmm on or off when you select a br mode
😂epic be like : ☝️wel actually hahaha you’ll have no more fun when we’re around 🤣🤣🤣
youtube ass comment
Bro you give TH-cam users a bad name
Peter jumped first off the bus. Ha ha
Then there's me who plays ranked and just camps because the devs promote survival over fighting.... Fr, for the past several seasons I've spent like 70% of the season just sitting on my phone waiting for storm circles to close. It's honestly exhausting...
They should add syphon back
Hi, HJDoogan. I think you should also talk about turbo building. It used to be a lot harder to build and was only really present in the form of ramp pushing and forts, now people are cranking and it's not fun to play against. Yes I can sweat and crank, and after a fight I just feel exhausted rather than rewarded.
They did nerf it in S10 but that was just bad timing in my opinion, with mechs and the minigun.
But hear me out, when that turbo building nerf came out, all the remains of build fights I saw around the map looked like they came from early season 3.
Shoutout to HJDoogan
Here before Doogan replies
The goat
rikki the goat
All we wanted was skill based matchmaking
I loved it when the whole loby landed at one place. It made dieing fun somehow
Shout out to HJDoogan
Can I see a chapter six battle pass review?
the most stupid thing is that i want to be in bot lobbies and i even have an secondary account on level 0 to (if everything is alright) get bot lobbies, yet i get lobbies full of players that want to qualify for tourdaments
Then Just add Ranked to OG for the people Who doesnt want bots and let the people Who wants bots play that
This ain't og if it has bots
Still og
so then why don't you want them to remove turbo building, reboot vans, and the newer movement 🤷♂
Bots should be optional, not mandatory
People forget winning is the end goal of this game. And while a challenge is great, losing for 8 whole hours due to no kind of sorting or bots will demotivate the majority of players. Bots are less frequent if you are more skilled at the game, and if you really want it to be hard, then just play ranked, where there are no bots. Fortnite is a business and as such they want to maximize profits by ensuring they maintain a steady player count
So glad someone said it and even with bots it still takes hours and days to win(for me) I think it’s just people get too competitive and try to make a casual game competitive
Yes, and winning used to be incredibly hard. Tik tok brain rot has ruined people’s attention spans and they cannot fathom going multiple hours without a win because they need that quick dopamine rush
I went on average 1 solo win per season back in chapter one but it was still the most fun I have had in fortnite you don’t need to win to have fun bots just make lobbies lifeless every since they added bots lobbies go down a lot quicker than they use to ruining mid game
I played ten OG games before the change (where there were not bots and people of all ranks were in there) and decided to never touch it again. Virtually all the players were pros so it was no fun and I noticed the vast majority of comments last weekend agreed with this.

That's the calmest "damn it" i have heard...
Bots are needed cause getting beamed out of the sky was getting very old!!
Bots are not needed
no!
Thats a skill issue bud
Skull issue
Bots yess
If it was limited to 10 bots, I guess it wouldn't be TOO bad, but any more than that, and the lobbies are trash. 50? 70? 90? 🤢🤢🤢
They need to get rid of skill based matchmaking and bots
Cares
Game needs skill Based matchmaking
Day 16 of asking HJ to bring back the face cam
Still better than chapter 6
Fr
They added bots not only because of those reasons in the video but because of the massive player count that will go down in the future once Fortnite OG is a normal thing for people. People will get bored and there will be games with less than 100 people in every match!
i play on a potato laptop thats sold for around 50 bucks and with the lags i am loosing against bots so this helped me to get a win after hours of gameplay
Bots make OG more realistic because ppl were bad back then, before mrfreshasian made the sweats
It really was only like that for the very first season, players were already starting to get way better in season 2
HJDoogan the goat 🐐
This hasn’t been my experience at all lol im getting got by real players and have only seen like 3 bots out of maybe 7-10 matches but I also don’t look at the killfeed as much as I used to and that’s the easiest way to tell if it’s a bot. Im not even good. Overall, from season 2 til now I have like a 1.2KD and a 3% win rate lol
I think there's a good argument to be made for bots on the game, especially for the newer players that want to have that OG experience everyone talks about but felt let down when getting sent back to the lobby in 5 seconds. As well as the sweats being very annoying to fight against, because in the OG times every players was kind of new, all the player base was learning how to get better at the same time, but now with a mix of very new players and very old players there's really a big gap in the skill for the game, so adding a SBMM is an optimal solution. That being said, all of this argument would be valid if we didn't already have another battle Royale mode that already had SBMM called Chapter 6 Season 1, if the newer players want to have a calm experience with no sweats they can just go normal battle Royale and stay there while the people who truly waited for the OG map to happen again can enjoy Chapter 1 once again
Bring back chillin in Cuba for this game mode 🙏
Dude. I can finaly play normaly after they added bots and I not even mad about it.
I prefear bots than a sweats superheroes.
Honestly i prefer this than getting killed in the sky in 3 seconds and getting full boxed by a 8 year old💀🙏
better than sweat lobbies
I think it's good that they added skill-based matchmaking back to OG, but the bots are just completely uncalled for.
Yeah winning feels like regular fortnite now it was super rewarding to get a win but ofc they have to add bots
The other thing is sbmm get that bs out of og to.
Bots should have a mode where they are on due to the amount of sweaty nerds using simple edit to clip players who just want to have fun.
How do you even know they are using simple edit lmao
But since people are complaining about bots, they should add a new SBMM system where they put the noobs in noob lobbies, the decent players in decent lobbies, and the sweats in sweaty lobbies, so it would be a way more fun and fair experience instead of having bots to balance out the lobbies.
I've had more fun getting beamed these past 2 days by sweats in ZB (in fact, I even got a W and the umbrella which was what I was after so after that, I started playimg more casually) than having to deal with the bots bs again.
I honestly agree with how the community feels I only had gotten 1 win when og dropped and although I lost so many games, when I finally got that win after so many hours it felt satisfying and made me feel like i was good because I got a win, now that bots are in og I get maybe 3-4 bots a game that I eliminate it doesn’t feel rewarding at all because I don’t wanna fight bots I wanna fight real players, that’s what made chapter 1 feel so rewarding to win in
We definitely need another fridge meta video again with the OG map being back lol
I feel they added bots to give the player time to warm their aim up for late game.?? What yall think 🤔
Give me one more day meme is goated man
It's chapter 5 season 3 all over again...
I don't really mind bots in OG mode, I just wanna have fun😂
