In a game as advanced as Fortnite, controller players had no business competing with anybody using a keyboard and mouse. But 2 years after the game’s release, they were completely terrorizing the competitive scene. At one point, 80% of players in every major tournament played on controller, but today, that number has plummeted to under 10%. So how does a community that makes up 3/4 of the entire playerbase struggle to compete at the highest level? This is the rise and fall of Controller players in Fortnite.

I dont know if Im the only one experiencing this but whenver I try to link my epic games account it playacadamy states that there is an "unknown error" and doesnt let me. if anyone knows the solution pls help me
@@ColtenMurriejust don’t worry bout it
Also let's not forget during fortnite release controller players was also stuck with holding down on their edit button which also gave them a huge disadvantage against keyboard and mouse players. That was until they added custom controls in chapter 1 season 6 where controller players were able to customize their edit bind to whatever they wanted it to be

Maybe a good way to help controller players a bit without buffing aim assit is to let us choose different imput curves for building, ads and non-ads sens. Since expo is better for ads, tracking and long range taps, linear is way better for building/editing, and both can be used for non-ads (linear might be better tho), being able to have expo ads and linear for non-ads and building/editing could be really helpful for lots of controller players.
you are on to a whole bunch of nothing
waffling
That's a really good idea
You can turn linear into expo sens using boosts and timers, everything you mentioned already exists
@@ambience8400 Nah it's not the same, not even close. I've tried it already a lot of times and its not the same, as the boost only adds speed when you move your right stick near its limit, which means it only adds speed to your sens when its reaching its max (it doesnt affect the 0-90% of the stick path, it increases your sens past that 90%) so it doesnt allow you to make those microajustements while aiming that expo do and have that very slow movements at first that start ramping up like an e^-x math function the more you move your stick.There is a reason why a lot of pros think expo is way better for ads tracking but still use linear and don't use boosts. It's just very inconsistent, and not near as smooth and predecible as expo(Sorry if i didn't explain it well, I'm Spanish)
ZB is a different story though. More than half of all the guys on top of the leaderboards in ZB are on controller and using a zen...
I'm pretty sure zens are banned
They prob are just dma cheating
Controller need aim assist otherwise it's un usable in battle royale people just don't get it , as a controller player I have never been consistent in any game because the games start out as all players learning the game whether using keyboad , mobile ,or controller but after patches controller players in every battle royale gets nerfed and nerfed to the point you cant even aim , this is because people keep complaining about controllers being broken thats why many controller players cheat lol like you got to make your own aim assist 😂
I swear with every patch of fortnite, the aim assist becomes more nonexistent 💀
Controller just isn't competitive. There's a reason CSGO has no aim assist.
An input system that takes away control of the player but also lacks the accuracy to aim requiring aim assist to even compete with keyboard and mouse is just dumb.
Clearly you’ve never played apex legends that game is dominated by controller 70% of all players are controller majority of all pros have or are in the processs of switching to controller that average controller player has an over 30% better kd than the average kbm player and all pros are open to admit controller is far superior than kbm it’s basically Fortnite with roles reversed it’s a fun game but it fell of hard and the game is in a decline rn.
@notnoahqlapped9575 everyone cheats in that game and fortnite too 🤣
@@notnoahqlapped9575 dude we know there's an exception of games that actually cares about controller players yeah APEX and maybe CALL OF DUTY WARZONE but we are just tired of having no aim assist as controller players in most games it's just unfair.
Honestly, aim assist is basically useless now. I literally turned it off, and I'm just as good without it
Real
Yea I was surprised when I went to other games as Fortnite is my main shooter and other games I just use kbm and I heard alot about aim assist in apex and I was blown away by the sheer amount of tug and legitimately rotating your camera for you. In apex you can let go of the stick and just walk back and fourth and it will track a still enimie for you.
Same. My friend said I beamed him because of my aim assist (I clipped it cause I literally didn’t miss once lmao). I turned it off and there was no difference. It’s literally useless. I’m practicing kbm now
I think the introduction of duos and no siphon is a big reason to why there arent many up and coming controller players. Many great controller players of today started out as fraggers and in a trio its easier to have a designated role.
The complaints that keyboard and mouse players gave to controller back than was so hilarious but at the same time very annoying
It was justified, AA was so broken back in the day you didn’t need skill just jump in a box and spray.
"i dont want aim assist to be buffed." wow lol
me when i die to console player: "REMOVE CONSOLE SUPPORT AHHHHHHHH"
Womp womp skill issue get better stop like farming BOT
Blud doesn’t even play fortnite

Great video frl!
Wassup bro
They should turn of cross-play to fix this issue. Although when you are playing in a tournament such as the FNCS cross-play would turn on. It would also turn on if you’re playing with a different console than you.
im surprised you didnt mention the insane dominance of reet in chapter 2 before nerf
fr he was crazy after nerf too
Aim assist got nerfed. Controller usage went down
Coincidence? I think not
They should just make better settings on controller ( like the ability to have linear builds and expo aim , adding a scoped sensitivity, adding an actual build and edit sense instead of it just multiplying and being based on your normal sense , ect. Those things would help out controller at least a decent amount.
0:02 Mero left the chat…
I love the history of Mero
He popped off in FNCS and then "quit" fortnite then came back because of a coin flip then won 2 fncs after, etc... xD
I play on switch, so the worst of the worst, and I feel like aiming is like making 1 million a day. As you said scoped weapons have No aim assist and even if there isn't a scope, aim assist still is useless, making expo much better for aiming but far worse than linear for building and editing. And boosts and ramp times don't allow to have expo aim on linear. In my opinion, becoming the best with controller is almost impossible and I agree that, without any changes kbm will always be better. The only good changes I can think of are either buffing aim assist,make us have the options to choose different inputs for building, editing, ads and non-ads or make a new input that mixes expo and linear
They should buff aim assists for console 💀, especially last gen
Console aim assist is stronger than PC
@@cheezzz422 console is still at a heavy disadvantage, why you think you see 0 console pros?
@@cheezzz422 or they should let turning of cross play actually work 💀
@@JaxsYT-_- there is console pros some even qual for fncs and etc, just not every console player is built like that yk? they rather make excuses of being on 120fps and "so much input delay" while on 0 - 20 ping. While there shit looks less delayed than my pc on 360fps and 60-80 ping ( east )
Only disadvantage I see is shadows and thats it lol
@@VecPancake the fps is an entire disadvantage as a whole, I literally got noticeably better almost instantly just from moving to ps5 from ps4 and arm it can only run 60fps due to my tv not running 120, so I actually got better just from being able to a stable 60 fps instead of 30-40 and the occasional 60.
Also fps plays a major role in Fortnite fights, that and ping
What, thats crazy
Epikwhale won fncs on controller, flipping hell
how do you qualify to the tournament
The rise and fall of bhronos
😂
6:35 Epik did that? That’s insane
people forget that was his first fncs win to
@@JAY2kz101 shows how absolutely broken controller was lol
2:55 Kamahley mentioned W
Should I stay on controller or learn kbm
As a controller player, I’ve yet to see my fall 😂 still dominating any lobby I step into
I never understood why epic turned on cross play. Pc players are complaining about it and console players are complaining about it as well. Why would they do that?
Because without cross play I wouldn’t be able to play with my friends on console that don’t own a pc
I know a simple solution : they should put you in console lobbies , but if you or one of your teammates are on pc you should be put in pc lobbies
controller just needs something to buff it mechanically. I have no clue what that would be, but it would be nice.
So there i have an excuse on why i suck on switch
30 fps is enough of an excuse
Playing on switch is a good enough excuse
Playing on that Tiny screen is a great excuse
@@Spiderjepo i dont even play on the tv💀
Fr
I play on controller cuz I don’t have a pc but I always get cooked whenever I fight a kbm player
byla won with peterbot aswell in chapter 3
Yea I’m switching a keyboard and mouse.
crazy how ayden is a wz player now 😂
whats the song name? the first one
i am a controller player should i stop it and switch to m and k ???
and how can i know that i won the pc in the give away??
probably should change the thumbnail so the green arrow moves up and not down.
kbm has always been seen as the superior input in most esports. I don't find it weird majority of people in esports play kbm
I hope aim assist don’t become op again in main modes, but it would be fun if they made it like a game mode, or it could be added a device in creative to have the old aim assist .
You know it’s a good day when bhronos uploads
Plssss make a video about the fall of TSM Ops
We ight no worries
1:04 I still build with that type of builds in 2024
That’s why you can’t get pass plat
@@tacticalstud I'm elite, lmao
@@gronkss I thought they put it out the game. Dindn't saw a single person using it after Chapter 1
nice video
call of duty warzone, apex legends you should take notes🤔🤔
I started off playing on switch during the vibes season,on switch due to the generous FPS cap of 30 that isn’t very consistent. I used the Gyro controls and honestly they felt so smooth and after switching to the PS five and seeing the vast difference in Gyro controls from what Nintendo has compared with the PS five,it’s kind of sad because honestly if they gave a good Gyro update for ps and Xbox I truly believe controller will be almost better then if not equal to mouse
Mero left the chat
5:03 season x released expo and linear and advanced settings. not chapter 2
You’re right it was released a couple weeks before Chapter 2 came out my fault. I was so sure it was the day Chapter 2 was released that I didn’t look it up to confirm.
@@bhronos also aim assist in chp 2 season 2 was nerfed 3 times before becoming 30% more nerfed in chp 2 season 3
there is a reason nobody remembers. The freaking mechs were the focus of the season
8:39 I find long and close range very easy. I dont get if thats just me. I play controller
The issue is deadzone bug because not deadzones do not register properly on playstation controllers making up the majority of controllers played with. Easiest way to explain what this is is let’s say your playing 5% Right stick deadzone it will register at around 9% for some reason causing stiffness and long rage aim impossible because you can’t make micro movements Everyone quit the game after. epic needs to fix

nice vid my boi
mnecraft pfp?
This video was eye opening. They need to give console players the option to play against each other. Im going to start looking for other games because of this.
And why would they do that? If I play on a crappy laptop with less than 30 FPS then do I deserve a separate playlist too?
Also keyboard players love to box up like that gives them a huge advantage cause they can box up in less than 4 seconds and the start peaking me like fight dont box up in zone wars and peak thats so cringe but hey now iam switching so
😢
EETS A CONTROOLLA PLAYA
Nah if they buffed aim assist Reet would be the best player in fortnite
mero be like: aim assist who?
when was the last time a controller player won a fncs?
Idk but Mero is a good controller player
I think fncs globals where mero won again😂
Lmfao mobile players ain't even in the conversation 😂😂😂
I signed up. Hope i win the pc. Peterbot is my goat along with mero
They need to bring back aim assist back again to work at your refresh rate
Have you guys just forgot King Reet????
Exactly bro was dominating in s4 ch2
damn bro I just play this game 😭 I just play this game in public why you bros gotta dog on me 😭
I still play controller
I’m a controller player I’ve placed in every tournament
W vid
The bugs where you lose aim assist is still here in chapter 5 and is probably not going to be fixed anytime soon. Epic just dont care about controller players on PC, they care about consoles whic have a OP aim assist to keep more players, it' just bad to see controller so ignored and not even fixibg bugs
Console aim assist isn’t op anymore either. It is so weak now compared to what it used to be. My aim assist even has the same problem on console where it just randomly turns off
@@Jordanthecool7 im talking about next gen consoles, i have a friend wich has 5k earnead and ge is telling me is soooooo different from PC aim assist
I have nothing to say.
🆗
For controller it’s impossible to play because aim assist is so bad so you are just slower and now worse at aiming
good players would be able to counter quadruple headshot? No.
First of all THE ANNOYING STICK DRIFT WHICH KEYBOARD AND MOUSE DOESN'T HAVE
Stick drift depends on the controller type Sony which makes play station controllers had a lawsuit because of how bad stick drift is on their controllers so if u have stick drift buy a better controller
@@Spiderjepo it's expensive
@@mohiburrehmangaming14 ok but it is fixable
@@Spiderjepo it is but really annoying
8:53 its not true Players that use claw are quicker

i might be the only one using old school binds on controller in 2024
No way💀
@@cheezzz422 being deadass played chapter 1 season 1 all the way to chapter 5 s2 then switched to keyboard🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have a ps5 but seriously I suck on pc and I'm pro with controllers
who else is running up the tournament?? ⬇️⬇️⬇️💯💯
Shoulda kept higher aim assist
Bro you almost got 1million arena points 😢
He did

Now its just 120fps console players that get aim assist and on pc its basically none exsistant
Now can a controller player be as mechanical as pc player
No
@@cheezzz422 I mean I can do triple edit on console
@Domie_YT I can do quads and clip people on 60 fps.
I play on a ps5 with decent sized TV
I would be better if my ps5 would connect to my monitor.
Idk why but it just doesn't connect to the monitor. I have tried many ways to fix it
@@jayvoorhees1925 just look it up how to connect your PS5 five to your monitor on TH-cam
Not a single mention about gyro aiming (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and PC only. Sorry Xbox community)
Do you have to be a certain age
mnk players will always complain about aim assist no matter what
If they make controller aim assist the way it was i will switch back ong
Pc players will complain
Pc players complaining is justified, why in the hell was aim assist much broken back then with l2 spam and other shit, but on thing they can do is disable crossplay.@cheezzz422
Remove Crossplay, it's actually that simple

Use a mouse and keyboard like a man
OG aim assist was insane
controller died off in like chapter 2 season 5 when they made the final aim assist nerf that basically made it balanced to a degree
Lol.
Nah they definately made more nerfs afterwards , they nerfed it in chspter 3 as well.
@@Jordanthecool7 yea but like aim assist already wasnt good all the later nerfs r just beating a dead horse
fooyun
forced crossplay between console and pc and mobile shouldnt be a thing
Been saying this for years😂
Controller is unplayable rn there is no aim assit at all i went frim 120 to 60fps console just can’t compete
go see asia server man 90% of player on asia sever are controller player
If controller is better than kbm why are soany controller player switching yo kbm andy time i fight a kbm player they alwayes box up and start playing box fights in zone wars its really anoyying like whn i hop on they wall and pickaxe it they just edit a top left edit and shoot me then scroll reset before i could even pump them Iam fone with controller especially seens i dont play claw or paddles its not really fair
