Fortnite Ranked Mode Feels Broken This Season

Something weird is going on with Fortnite ranked this season. Is ranked broken somehow? I made it to Unreal in record time. And as you'll see in today's video, rank games feel to me that they can be far less sweaty than normal games. What's going on? I want to know your experience with rank this season. So, let me know in the comments. Do you think that rank feels different? Also, like the video and hit that subscribe button. We are so close to 16 million subscribers. Let's jump into it. Okay, I completely scuffed my drop. I completely and utterly scuffed my drop. I'm flying in though. I'm good. I'm solid. Oh, I'm not good. I'm not solid.

There's a guy right here. What is this guy doing? What the heck is that, dude? What the heck is that? Going to break this real quick. Oh, got some power fist gloves. Let's drop down. I haven't talked to you guys since FNCS, man. I haven't talked to you guys since FNCS, which was granted yesterday. You know, it still feels like a long time. It really does. It really does feel like a long time. Truly. Okay, let me just go ahead and see if I can loot up real quick. And then I got to fix one thing.

Oh, I like my loot. I like that. Oh, and a pizza box, though. Oh my. Is it just me just ranked really hard this season? I actually find ranked this season a little bit easier. I ranked up the fastest I've ever ranked up in uh this season of rank. So, okay, give me that shotgun. Wait, I got to drop this real quick. I think they got to be fixing this in the next big update, right? Oh crap. What the heck? That guy just He scared me, man. He scared me, dude. So, we'll play a mixture. We can play a mixture of ranked, a mixture of normals. We can do a lot of stuff tonight. My gun isn't shooting. Oh my gosh. Why wasn't my gun shooting? That was awkward. I swear my gun wasn't shooting. Maybe I just like pulled it

out too fast. I don't know. Weird. That's why I can appreciate people that want to use the uh iron pump. The iron PUMP'S NICE. It's nice. I remember this spot. This is where me and Quinn got stuck in FNCS. Aer David, it's been good. A lot of stuff going on, chat. A lot of stuff going on. I want to like tell you guys so many things, but like I don't know. Sometimes I got to keep a secret, you know? Bro, this guy's just hitting me, dude. Just tell us. We won't tell. Okay. Should I tell you guys? Okay. So, I'll explain this. I'm not going to tell you exactly what it is, but I'm going to give you the logic behind it. Okay. So, as you guys know,

not too far away from now, they're going to be banning Ballistic. Like, Ballistic is just going to be gone. Okay? It's just going to be gone. And I think that's pretty awful. Okay. Um, I even asked Tim Sweeney, the founder and CEO of Epic Games, if I could buy it to keep it up, you know, if that's what it takes. And he gave me kind of wraparound answer a little bit. And, uh, it's the answer is pretty much no. I can't do that. He's not going to do that. So, uh, you have to meet with reality right now is, uh, we cannot make ballistic right now. It is just not possible.

We don't have what Ballistic needs to make it, right? Which sucks, but that's just the truth. So, I was trying to wrap my head around I really love first person in Fortnite. I think it's a lot of fun, but if we can't make Ballistic, what are we going to make? So, we're speedrunning the idea. We're making something cool that's elevated from the normal first person experiences. Um, and I think we'll carry some essence of what Ballistic is, uh, to some degree. So, hope you guys will try it out when we drop it.

Does that get you guys excited or what? Is that what Quinn said he's doing cuz he isn't streaming today? Probably. Yeah, I could see that for sure. Ah, frick, dude. H I could have played that smarter. I didn't think he was going to be able to phase through. I thought he was going to be able to just shoot through the thing. It's all good. Stuck in platinum three and ranked. Ah, you got this, Brian. Just uh camp a little more, dude. I believe in you. When's the vault opening up, bro? I ran all the way over here to get a bounty and then this guy

gets a bounty on me. If you know me, I never turn down a fade chat. So, does a first person project like that get you excited, chat? I'm curious. I don't think we've seen what we're doing in Fortnite before, but I think it has a lot of uh replay-ability. And honestly, I think it works better for Fortnite's first person. Oh, drill. I think you'll like it a lot, by the way. How did he go up? That was so weird. I like blew out of his ramp and he still went up.

Oh crap, dude. What? Now, let's compare this unranked game to a ranked game of Unreal. See if you can spot the difference. brother? This actually so bad. It just sucked for me cuz he got these shotguns right off the bat, so I couldn't like go all the way in. Okay, let's heal up. What awful loot I have. What mildly better loot I have. Hello, Samra. Oh crap, I'm getting shot in the rear. That's shotgun, bro.

Everyone's so good with it. One HP on the dot. Kind of wild. Yeah, there's only one rank for a battle royale and zero build this season. Low key like I don't want to use the shot that it's one of those crazy situations where I don't want to use the shotgun, but I use it cuz it's so good. They like almost force you to use certain shotgun sometimes, right? Like I want to use the iron pump. I prefer the iron pump. I think the iron pump's healthier for the game, honestly. But I can see why a lot of people would

like the other gun cuz it's like very noob friendly. Makes noobs feel like really good about themselves. Let's keep our head on a swivel. We got to get our wooden brick up. We can get back into some fights. Okay. Not bad. Not too shabby. It's crazy when you know what gives you like good mats. It's like 9 day difference. Let's break this and we'll get back into some action. At least we'll get back in zone. All right. Good mats. Is the pistol better than the ARs? Uh, yep. I think so. Although, I did see a couple pros use the combat AR to like great effectiveness.

It's quite good. TG icon with bro. I don't know, man. Hopefully one day. It's crazy. Also, I have 67 ammo for my shotgun. How did the Chug Jug get over here? The one thing about ranked right now is it doesn't have the rivalry system. What are we doing, dude? You're sucking that thing down. Not nice. Did you suck that thing down or was there two chug jugs? Oh, there's another chug jug. Oh my. What am I doing? Give me that life alert, bro. So, they're still fighting over here somewhere. There's nine other players, actually. No. Wait, there's eight other players.

There's somebody in this bush. I deserve it. Okay, I got this soup here. Bro, what is this? Chat, what is this soup? Looks like sludge. I don't know what soup it is. H. Isn't there like a Granny Bazooki emo? There is. It's real, bro. Can I do duos with you real quick? You can't. Is it still real? Is it yummy? It's pretty good. I mean, it's like it's sustenance. Yeah. Let me take a few more bites. No. Go get after this lobby. Low key looks like the soup in Resident Evil, bro. I'm pretty sure the super Resident Evil has like extra parts to it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, Toy Story is

incoming. I'll have the Toy Story skins tomorrow. This uh this is interesting. I'm It feels like um I don't know how to describe it. Like maybe a prison food. I'm just kidding. I'm Samir didn't make it, chat. Samir didn't make it. I obviously wouldn't call something Sam's made prison food. All right. And if I did, Sam would be like, you know, something different. Is it TV dinner? I don't. It's I think it's like l It's like heavy lentils. But then I have another bowl. Sam just brought me turkey chili. And this I know is fantastic.

Cons are so weird. The way you reset them. stream arenas 100%. Yeah, I'll play it. I think I don't know if you guys have played our 2v2v2 peace control and box fights map. I have a feeling ours is going to be better. I know that's like a lot of bias there, but Heat. LET'S GO. WHAT DID I TELL CHAT? What did I tell you? Did I not tell you ranked is easier than PR? Hello? Why is ranked easier, chat? Unreal. By the way, I play two games of unranked. They're harder than the games are ranked. It's just weird. I don't know. Unreal. Also, one thing I want to point out. Why the freak is this guy in my lobby? Bronze.
