- Is it bad to be sweaty? Is it bad to be a sweat in fortnite? When did being a sweat become a bad thing answered.
Have you ever wondered "what does it mean to be sweaty or what does it mean to be a sweat"? If you have this is the perfect video for you. This fortnite nostalgia video breaks down the rise of chapter 1 and when fortnite got "ruined". That term is thrown around loosly, but I think it's when the gaming industry changed for the better. With fncs coming up and big names like Clix, Mongraal, and MrSavage playing, now is the best time to start watching tournament contents and learning how to earn.

The word people used back in the day was "tryhard". It was used for people who cared more about winning and would use the meta. These are the people who would dropshot and do callouts in public matches. Today, people call them "sweats", although I think the word is a little overused now. "Sweating" has always been seen as a bad thing.
Fair point. I still think it's a little different but I def see what you mean
I just miss the times when you would actually play the game to get better, now you have to aim train, build fight and such.
That’s playing the game tho
Yeah I feel you. That's why I like the Reloaded game mode so much, because it is playing the game like regular, but you don't have to be so afraid of dying and requeuing
@@bran8k562 buildfighting just to get good at br? buildfights aren't what br is about. Building is just a staple of br. Tryharding wasn't nessessary to win in fortnite, and now it is because other people are tryharding
@@Jade-Edge838 Being proficient in the game requires being good at building if you want to be an atleast competent player
@@bran8k562 Well yeah, but I meant being TOO good, overbuilding, and going for fancy clips. Of course, you have to be good at building, its a core aspect of the game. But you shouldn't have to be a tryhard is what I'm saying.
I think everyone Fortnite player needs to watch this. Especially this season.
Send it to em! Tag everyone. All active players
This only happens in fortnite lmao, you arent hated for being good at Valorant, CS2, rocket league, just fortnite mainly because fortnite draws a much larger casual audience
nah a lot of games where competetive isnt the full focus
Yeah I think the guy below said it best. It's still a thing in COD, R6, Overwatch, etc. I do think the games you listed though don't apply as much tho, so you're right there
@@reidtheninja Not as much tho, Fortnite the second someone builds a box its declared sweaty😭
Some people have a personal vendetta against build players, not so much in cod or r6.
yeah but then you get pieced up, full boxxed, triple edited, 200'd, by some nerd that never goes outside that was born in 2015
you're just unskilled at the game

reid is up and coming, i wouldnt be suprised to see him with 100k subscribers by the end of the year
Man I hope so 😂🙏

Kdog the best for sure he gives great updates very fast unlike aussie he takes like 20 minutes to say what kdog says

Ngl one of the best fortnite videos out there. Love the editing so much. Your super underated, keep it up man. You deserve it!
Dude that means a ton. Thank you. I spend a lot of time on these, so it's nice to see people like you recognizing it and gassing me up haha 🙏
@@reidtheninja You Deserve it bro
My solution to sweats is playing zero build, as it’s way more casual. The nice thing though is that I can hop into creative and try to learn building.
True. I just wish there was like a limited builds mode. Like only a certain mat count, or you can only build 2 layers off the ground or something.
@@reidtheninja boxfights exist it isnt as fun as just tryingto get better tho
Rather than looking down on gamers as a whole, fortnite made people begin to frown upon only those who are good at video games
Fortnite has done a lot of good, but also changed a lot of things like that
Reidtheninja is my favorite youtuber. I was hard stuck in diamond before watching his vids. Now im elite thanks to him. Love you
Ayyy congratulation brother! That's awesome to hear
It changed when people became good enough to prevent other people from having fun
the way he was poking ninja when he said trying to get better :DDDDD
Haha Ninja back in the day was the GOAT
imo its just copium, casual players say "this guy is sweating hard while im playing for fun" when they lose, but when they win they go estatic
Fr. That is a great point
i remember when you would go against someone better, and you wanted to be better then them, now everyone cries when even a decent player gets the up on them and kills them... its so sad, and fortnite wont even seperate casual and competitive so the crying just gets worse and worse
For real. The loot pools and modes need to be switched up
W vid man❤ This was a really interesting video concept
I'm happy to hear, and thank you! I really didn't know if this would be a flop video, but so far it's actually doing really good! Super thankful
I just wanna say thanks Reid. I haven’t really played all season (I’m not trying to start a fight okay) but this video makes me want to pick the game back up!
That's amazing to hear man. And this vid has a lot of old gameplay in it, so it's nice that you can hop on and play the reloaded mode now too
It became a bad thing when the toxicity started becoming the majority
True, that's why I don't chirp online
Season 4 when start get sweaty but when creative mode when fully got skill cap gone new all to nobhead xD
Good job making this video !
Thank you man, I put a lot of effort into this one 🙏
@@reidtheninja I can definitely tell you put a lot of effort into this Video
Wow i enjoyed that so much! Im a player who wants to be the best player i can. It is sad when they cater to the casuals and put in spammy stuff or gimmicks.
Just subscribed!
Thank you man! I’m glad you enjoyed. And yeah I’m the same type of player, I want to play to get better and that’s how I have fun
It's funny though because this attitude also permeates different "factions" of the gaming community. Not all gamers are FPS, BR, Deathmatch lovers. My younger brother is arguably a much bigger gamer than me in our adult lives. I got back into gaming in part because of Fortnite and teaching my son how to play with his friends. It re-ignited my old Doom/Quake/Unreal Tournament deathmatch memories and I dove back in. But I was always an FPS game style lover.
My younger brother looks down on Fortnite. He thought Fortnite should have stuck with it's Save the World iteration, and he hates Battle Royale with a passion. So even as a gamer, he looks down on Fortnite and those that are good at it. And I know there are others out there with that attitude as well. To him, the recent Fallout collab was lame, simply because Fortnite did it. So, it's interesting.
You are right. Fortnite changed the industry and the whole social landscape around gaming in a way we hadn't seen in a long while. Great take and great video as always. And while I don't play comps (I will probably give it a try soon just to see what the experience is like) I love the grind of learning and improving my skill mainly at Builds. I play ZB as well, but to me, the build mechanics were the truly unique gameplay aspect of Fortnite. And learning that new game mechanic is the challenge that brought me back to gaming as an old man LOL (47yo here yikes!). But I pay attention to your vids when they drop and try to incorporate as much as I can into my gameplay.
That was a really cool comment to read. Thanks for sharing your story man, it’s inspiring to me as a creator in my 20s to know that I can appeal to an audience above and below my own age. Hope you do good in competitive once you start it up!!
This is an incredible analysis and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a much bigger TH-camr
Haha thank you man, that means a lot
I genuinely don’t think there’s anything wrong with someone being a “sweat”. If this game is something you’re really passionate about and you want to grind to be the best you can be, go right ahead. However, I don’t blame people for getting upset with the sweats. You mention CoD a lot in this video and I feel like I should point out that while CoD and Fortnite are very similar, there’s a lot about them that isn’t. The biggest one being the game modes. Most of CoD’s game modes revolve around dying (or trying not to) and respawning. While Fortnite’s main game modes don’t have a true respawn mechanic. If you’re playing with others on a team, they COULD reboot you assuming they get your card and dont get eliminated in the process of rebooting. But for solos or for anyone stuck in a sticky situation, it’s a one and done kinda thing. CoD was much easier to just pick up a controller and play for a little bit after work or school. You didn’t need to spend countless hours honing your skills to win or to even have fun. Fortnite’s battle royale game modes almost feel like that’s what you have to do to stand a chance of winning at all. CoD had killcams that showed you exactly how you got killed which in turn can help you improve. Fortnite doesn’t have that. You just die and go back to the lobby or ready up and watch someone emote on you.
Also I feel that streamers and competitive gameplay in general has damaged casual gaming as a hobby. 9 times out of 10, if I’m not at work, the gym, or with my gf I’m on my pc playing a game. Whether that be a single player story driven game or a game like Fortnite or whatever just depends on the day and my mood and who’s online. I’ve found it much more difficult to commit to playing Fortnite or games similar to it over the last 10 years simply because of the people who do nothing but play those games (which again I don’t have a problem with). If the skill level is too high, it’ll stop new players from coming back just like we saw right before zero build was added.
All fair points
It's because there's a difference between being good at the game and being sweaty. When you're good, you're good. Simple as that. But when you're sweaty, you wear things like skins that are one singular color and have a small hitbox (They don't so it's not giving them an advantage), and they aren't actually good at the game, they usually just cheese casuals by spamming
Fair point. I do think there is a tactical advantage to having a solid color skin to blend into grass/trees/shadows. Although most people wearing that skin don’t think about it for that reason
i woke up at 2:30 pm for this
France?
AM or PM? Cause that means you slept to 2:30 in the afternoon?!😂
I think that a little missunderstanding happened, he probably meant he woke up very early to see your vid
Yo your channel is really underrated, amazing work
Hey thanks man. I'm trying real hard everyday so it means a lot when people say this 🙏
There is a big stigma when it comes to "sweats" because of many reasons over time, but I feel like the one that is currently the most relevant is the fact that Fortnite is just so stubborn keeping competitive and casual modes as similar as possible
I used to think competitive ruined fortnite, but now I think it isn't necessarily competitive existing that did it, but how it was handled by Epic games
Ppl should stop blaming each other and instead get mad at Epic games
For real. Since the loot pools are identical, cracked players and pros will just warm up by pub stomping. They should really be different loot pools/settings between the two
“Sweats made the game.” -Clix
Amen 🙏 that’s what I’m saying
Reid this is ur best video in saying that hands down no cap!
That what I'm saying!! And thank you, I really thought this one was just such a vibe and actually had some important material to talk about
Very good points, awesome video
Thank you man, it means a lot
this is actually so well made woah
Haha thank you man. I put a lot of effort into this one
I love these type of videos😊
Thank you man. Maybe I'll keep making vids like these!
pls tell me the practice maps to improve that u used
and how did u got good at fn
??????????
i wanna be good tooo
I pretty much just free built and 1v1'd people. It worked well for me. I'd just watch tip youtubers (kinda what I post myself now) and implement that into my game
JUST WOKE UP AND SAW THIS VIDEO ON MY FYP AND NOW I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!
My friends say I’m a sweat but I think I’m average, because im good at the game but I’m not very bad!
THANK YOU FOR THE HYPE 🙏 And yeah the term "sweat" is overused now. It doesn't even refer to the best of the best anymore, it's just if you're slightly better than your opponent lol
@@reidtheninja yeah it lowkey pisses me off
I feel like Fortnite would have a healthier ecosystem if turbo build was never added. Of course it’s too late to take it back but if speed was capped better players would still win most of the fights but the casuals would feel like they still have a chance
That's a good point, I wonder how different the progression of the game would have been
even if turbo build were taken away, which i think is a horrible idea, the people who put the work into being good will simply always be better, even in a mode like zero build
@@cowboi9042 I know, I was just wondering if turbo build was never added back in chapter one if there would be a healthier balance, or at least less hate between “casuals” and “sweats”
@@whyy9383 nah, the best solution for both is for fortnite to seperate pubs and ranked/comp, even if turbo building was never invented the skill gap would stay high and would that even be enjoyable? it would basically just be spray royale sounds more boring than zb which is already boring
@@cowboi9042 I know
Ok never heard a "fortnite got truined by a sweat" video by a sweat.
I’m definitely not saying that it got ruined by sweats 😂 sweats made this game
@@reidtheninja lol, lemme rephrase that, never saw an actual counter argument of fortnite sweats ruined foetnite
I think there’s a clear difference between being good and being sweaty
I’m curious, what’s your criteria?
@@reidtheninja someone who is sweaty isn’t necessarily good at the game but they try their hardest to win using every advantage possible meanwhile someone who is actually good doesn’t
I’m thinking of learning how to edit videos and since you have a really simple but effective style may I ask what editing software do you use? Btw great vid I’m watching it at 11:32pm over here.
I use premier pro, and for this video after effects too. It may seem simple on the surface but it takes hours and hours to edit
hyy
reid
i got a question
i have trouble placing builds fast there are litterly 4 builds i cant press em togather i can edit fast but cant put builds fast enough
idk how to fix that
can u plsssssssssssssssssssssss make a video about that
i wanna make my first earnings
and how do i improve my gameplay
i get norvous while fighting
or can u pls tell me the practice maps to improve that u used
and how did u got good at fn
??????????
i wanna be good tooo
Personally what I consider a sweat is someone who does NOT want to drop from the number 1 spot in Unreal rank. Like bro, don’t you have anything better to do than upkeep some worthless rank number? Being number 1 in Unreal will get you no bitches and I am so sorry you gave up your social life in favor of a video game
banger video🔥🔥🔥
Banger comment 🔥🔥🔥
Ive been trying to get better even if im only going to play pubs for now and its so fun so see how much ive progressed!
That’s great to hear! And you’ll keep getting better
When it made all the good content creators leave the game 😔
Ah dang, I didn’t even think about that. Could have been a good point to mention in the video. RIP Fe4rless’s channel
Yeah I remember when being really good at Fortnite and other games was a big flex but now everyone is going to make fun of you
FACTS. If you were good back then, people would tell you to start streaming or apply to Faze or something haha
I truly don’t care what people say about me being a sweat as long as I make earnings off the game I’m fine
Yooooo new vid 🎉🎉
Yessir 🫡 thank you for being early!
I see sweats as those who DONT play for fun but rather to run the chance of making money. Those who care about winning rather than enjoying the game.
Gaming imo is about having fun, and in a game where the skill based matchmaking is awful, most players end up having to try their hardest to achieve the bare minimum which is not fun. Losing is fine until it feels unfair
That's not really true I'm really good and play for fun and lots of other people also do and at this point some people call people sweats for placing 2 ramps
@@eelovfx9200 Nono
I'm not saying good players don't enjoy the game. I'm saying that my definition of a sweat is someone who plays a game they don't enjoy JUST for the money or ranking
This is literally so me
Fair definition
Yay new vid
yay new comment 🙏
Reid I am watching this so far it is so good
Btw I am your second like
Ayy thank you for being early man. And that means a ton, I put a lot of work into this one
I love destroying superhero skin users
Facts, superhero skins aren't even the fully sweaty now
I remember I used to grind the game for like 12 hours a day in season 9 chapter 1 and I really wish I knew about world cup because I really do believe I had a chance
For real. I just remember thinking it wasn't worth it because of school
@@reidtheninja Same, I even got the 300 arena points needed to play the quals, but my parents didn't allow me to play everyday and couldn't play it :')

@@reidtheninja thanks I love ur videos ur crazy underrated. I already watched this video and know the stuff cuz im addicted to ur videos what bout after
Bro the name at 6:25 is absolutely crazy work 🙏🏼🙏🏼💀😭😭
Yeah it’s ridiculous. I hit my greatest clip of all time back in the day, and the name is that 💀
Id say im a true gamer, id be one of those people considered not touching grass i suppose, ive been playing fortnite since chapter 1 season 5 and remember when i actually stood a chance to get a win, i pretty consistantly make it to top 10 or better but am not the best at the game by any means, and even after all these years im garbage at building to point i gave up on trying to 😅, but now every time i reach the finale its always the guys that spent way to many hours playing the game and it's just a lot now (not so much this season since almost all the sweats left because they couldnt adapt, i had to adapt to taking out builders from the ground you can adapt to this, and no i hate zero build i still play build), feels almost impossible because theyre just to good at the game, im more of a casual player with fortnite but do have my competitive side when it comes to the game so ill make the comments about them not touching grass and such but not really mean it cause obviously im the same, but yeah i agree with the casuals, sweats do ruin the game to a point i dont blame them for getting good at the game, i mostly hate how cocky they are, when ever you see a video of a sweat you go into the comments having the casuals saying their usual stuff then the sweats "oh thats easy bro just go practice in creative and just say youre trash at the game" and its pretty that comment every single time, and of course streamers being "so good" that if you kill them youll get banned for being a hacker or stream sniper *cough* ninja *cough*
If you never learned how to fully build, you may have been going about it wrong. I'm not sure how much you know about building, but here is a good starter vid I made th-cam.com/video/nWRFaaHUZZ0/w-d-xo.html
@reidtheninja it's been quite a while since I've tried, when I tried getting better I did a little but not good enough to be of any help in battle, so when I play solos I just adapted to fighting builders on the ground and have gotten really good at combating them besides the speed builders that build 5 star hotels in 5 seconds, in duos or squads my teammate is the builder lol
My Freind always say I never touch grass as a excuse to losing.

W strength again
bruh my controller stopped working, need to repair it
That’s rough buddy
I consider being sweaty to be different from being good
I have always thought this as well. I have friends much worse than me that I can imagine dripping literal sweat and than they complain and smash their shit when they die to a “sweat”
I'm curious how so?
@@reidtheninjai say that being good is your good when your not trying which is me, obviously I’m better when I try but my thought is sweats are people that think they’re going to be a tier 1 and they’re not even in elite or something
@reidtheninja, it's all down to how you play
W video
Thank you brother. W comment
so the entire point of this video is to hate on ppl that use the term sweat
Yes
cuz if u use it in a bad way ur just bad, u expect people to not get better at the game? also many people make a living off the game so ofc their gonna be on the whole day
Not really. The point is to study when being "sweaty" became bad. Being sweaty and a try hard used to be something that a lot of people looked up to because they wanted to be as good.
I'm addicted to games but i'm bad at all games (never beaten minecraft) but i wanna be better and better but i dont know how to become better (i dont think this channel will help me cause i'm on the level: box up, few stairs and 50/50 (for me it's 20/80))

ayyy thank you, and valid
the issue is that the people that dont play games are telling you how to play games they get mad that they arent the best and complain without wanting to put in the effort since they never were actually enjoying the game for being a game it was just a way to ruin something for actual gamers
Pretty much. Although the casual gamers do play to have fun, but you're right the effort was never there. Hence why zero build is so popular

I've never heard a good player call anyone "sweaty" 😂 you're either decent or garbage
Yeah it’s like the saying “real recognizes real”, good players respect other good players and strive to be as good or better

Nothings better than fighting someone more skilled than yourself when they also happen to be an upstanding human. Too many people let their skill bloat their ego.

Hi😊
Howdy brother
When ppl started playing video games like it was a job and taking them so seriously and yet would only sweat their balls off in pub matches.
And then games can’t be fun anymore bc it has to be balanced bc the sweaty players and pros would complain about anything fun, unless it was something they liked.
They forgot games were made for FUN not to start a career and take the way too seriously
The pros that complain are right bc it's their job to play fn and stream and theres no excuse to be bad when the game has been out for 7 years there's people like me that only play in the weekends and are still way better than most fn players.
@@2am_vitro i’m not bad at the game, but that logic makes no sense bc everyone didn’t start 7 years ago, and other players are limited by what ever they have such as ppl on mobile or switch, or old gen consoles.
Also that’s the problem, gaming was never supposed to be a job, that is what ruined pvp gaming bc everyone wanna be the next pro instead of having fun
@@JaxsYT-_- yea but fn became a job bc of fncs and a lot of people take it seriously bc you can make a lot of money playing it
@@2am_vitro I would be fine with that, if they’d actually played the competitive game modes instead of pubs

Those people saying “go outside” were 100% correct. Learn a hobby.
You can get good at a game and have a balanced life outside of it too 😂 many people just don't do the first one
As long as you're not the guy who sits inside playing games for 16 hours a day, I would say that's pretty good
