I think he meant how many games on average until you get your first win.

bingo

I'm on game 50 and haven't come close. I mean I have finished top 5 several times, but am severely outclassed at that point. I never played PUBG or Halo or anything like that, so its a whole different skill-set to learn.

First win is average? Not sure what you mean by that but solo is the hardest to win. Just keep at it.


he's asking "on average, how many solo games did it take yall until your first win?"

im not sure lol. i got probably 6 or 7 2nds before i got my first solo win.



to give you an idea, jcole, my lifetime percentages are:

Solo: 25% Top 10 vs 2.7% Win
Duo: 17% Top 5 vs 4.2% Win
Squad: 20% Top 3 vs 7.3% Win


For Season 4 (still early, obv):

Solo: 24% Top 10 vs 8% Win
Duo: 21% Top 5 vs 7.1% Win
Squad: 26% Top 3 vs 8.6% Win


Basically, as you play more, you will convert a higher number of the Top X appearances into Wins. Dont be upset, it's just about getting comfortable in the pressure cooker situations and knowing what to do, when.

i used to have my heart beat at 200bpm when I saw 10 left, now it doesn't start beating until top 3 or 4. I have a buddy going through what you're going through right now - he keeps getting Top 5s and 10s and hasnt gotten a solo W yet. Just keep working at it and you'll get one, then it will be a lot less stressful later.

if you're on either console (doubt it, im assuming you're PC), id be glad to help



ETA: I have more solo/duo wins than the game shows (with screenshot proof), but there was a period around the halloween update where no stats updated. my win % could be higher, but there's a chance that the games weren't even logged in games played, so there's no way of knowing the impact on percentage.

You still on PC right? If so, make sure you have your building keys rebound to something more comfortable.

No idea why fortnite decided the function keys were a good default

yeah
I rebound to match SphyerPK's. its much better than the default. I think my biggest problem is simply not having the quick twitch reflex muscle memory that most of these people do from other FPS's. That'll come with time. I think I am getting by via being smarter than they are - hell I have more years of strategy gaming XP than most of my opponents have years on earth, thats got to provide some sort of edge

Just looked those up. Holy shite those are janky

There's no way I can switch weapons off of my 1-5 keys. It's been ingrained in my brain that way from all other shooters.

I have Walls as a mouse button, stairs and flat surface as my Q and E (I don't remember which is which), pick axe as X, and then my meds are other keys

I may try to play this game some more this week, depending on how burnt I get with PUBG.

yeah they are apparently pretty unorthodox but thats because his style is so build heavy. i re-bound to it because I was watching his how to win series on YT.

its hilarious to watch him build a box around his opponent, edit a hole in the box, and either shoot them in the face or watch them drop directly down onto a trap. hes basically a god.

He is freaking fantastic.

If anybody wants to see how to play on console, watch nickmercs. He is not a good builder but he is very smart and hits his shots.

That’s a shame. They’d make a loooooot of money off me if there was a Thanos skin

Well no shite

I'm just saying it's hard to do on console to get that type of aim. Regardless of how you feel about aim assist, it can really mess with close and tracking shots.

Ah yep, true. I don't know how you guys do it

I bought an xbox for Cod ww2 release, tried to play it with a controller and lasted maybe a week before I bought a kbm adapter

SphyerPK has tutorial for using an xbox controller - on pc- and owns people. I'm pretty sure he isnt actually human.

Did they mess with the pump accuracy this season? Seems like it's all over the place

I’ve been getting kills with the pump shotty. I don’t think it’s as lethal as before (all you had to do is point in a general direction) and it requires a bit more skill. I’m pretty good at out maneuvering others when it becomes a shotgun firefight. I was trash before cuz I’d get the jump on a guy bit hos reflexes were better.

Imo this season is much more balanced between the shotguns and smgs. I have a small sample size though
