Pro player Bizzle has some ideas on 'how to fix Fortnite' - especially from a competitive perspective.
Epic's recent removal of the Boom Bow from Team Rumble sparked a discussion in the Fortnite competitive community relating to separate loot pools.
Competitive players have been requesting separate loot pools for Arena Mode for a while now, but Epic has repeatedly stated that they have no plans to make this change.
Early in the morning on June 14, Bizzle - who plays for the eSports organization Ghost Gaming - tweeted some changes he'd like to see implemented into Fortnite to "fix" the game.
Fix fortnite:

-Remove Stinks, Rifts, Ballers, Storm Flip, Proximity Launcher, Heavy Sniper, Boom Bow.
-Bring Back Old Bolt Action Sniper w/ old bullet drop.
-Bring Back ReDeploy.
-Fix wall replacing, shouldn’t be able lose a wall with high ping.
-Buff Divot.
What I miss???
Since Bizzle is a professional player, it's fair to assume he wants these changes made to Arena Mode more than the base Fortnite experience.
Most of the competitive community was on board with these changes - save for a few who disagreed with Bizzle's call to bring back re-deploy.
Nate Hill chimed in and said that a bigger priority should be to remove the edit/shotgun pullout delay.
Number one thing is edit/shotty delay. Game is clunky garb

Many of these suggestions are good ones, but Epic seems committed to keeping regular and competitive Fortnite the same in terms of loot pools.
The only question is: how long can they keep things the way they are?
Bizzle vs. Competitive Fortnite
Bizzle has repeatedly made a mockery of competitive Fortnite, winning games and qualifying for day two of the World Cup without any weapons.
Not only do these videos mock the competitive scoring system, but they also show some faults in the current item setup of Fortnite Battle Royale.
Of course, not just anyone can qualify for the World Cup without any weapons. Bizzle is an extremely skilled player.
These videos - while fun to watch - show how much of a problem Epic has while making Fortnite truly competitive.
The opinions of such a high-level player are valid, but what do you guys think? Do you think these items should be removed from all Fortnite modes or just Arena? Do you think he went too far?
