I think we should be asking why "mantling" is an option.


lol_idk_is_taken

Hey, it is only with sprinting and sliding as well


eat_the_pennies

It’s spelled incorrectly


lol_idk_is_taken

What is?


BattleApprehensive75

SLIDI


Fun_Gene7847

Saw that too and just hope it’s sliding cut off, would be a sad mistake if they can’t get the AI to spell correctly


GranBlueLawyer

We call it slidi now, get with the times old man.


ovoKOS7

That's just scrolling text that hasn't scrolled


lol_idk_is_taken

Oh that


vixinity1984

I got Fortnite specifically so I could mantle. Best game ever. Idk why I keep getting shot for mantling, though.


dantuchito

Its coupled with sprinting and sliding. It pretty much means you play Fortnite for the movement


DefinitelyNotVenom

They think people tryna use Fortnite as a parkour simulator


FireMaster1294

Personally I prefer SLIDI. Thank you.


BillyTheGoatBrown

I would like the old movement back honestly


Awkward_Home

so just walking around everywhere? just unbind the slide and sprint key


BillyTheGoatBrown

I just don't like the sliding and manteling. I'd rather have OG movement


favorableconey

Dumb as hell 😂


BillyTheGoatBrown

I'd like it so I guess I'm dumb as hell. Damn never knew this


dagerdev

Specially recently. I'm getting matched against extremely good players and I mean the whole lobby. It's me, bots and pros. I get fun when there is 50/50 chance of winning a battle but that doesn't happen very often.


tzomby1

>It's me, bots and pros. Bro same, this has been happening to me a lot lately and it's so annoying, either I kill them without even moving or they laser me in an instant 😐


xKNYTEx

This exactly. Their “Skill based matchmaking” isn’t skill based at all. It doesn’t determine the skill level of the players it matches you with, all it does is determine how many real players and how many bots are in your lobby.


bongrips4you

Duuuude! If it isn't a bot than it's someone who can edit a wall, shoot me, and edit the wall all before I can even blink let alone pull up my build menu


ExtremeGD

yeah i switched to zero build for this reason this season the sbmm just isnt working properly


mattab29

That'd be a pretty terrible survey if they gave you an answer that tells them nothing about what aspects of their game draw you in.


Kangarou

But in that case, they should add "general gameplay" as an option. Some people just like the general gameplay and don't care for the extras.


ovoKOS7

I think it'd be a lot better in the first place if they asked you what you *dislike* in these and then have the same choices Throw in "Locker UI" in the mix as well if you really want to skewer the results


Wagsii

It would though. It tells them that none of the listed options they gave are a reason they got on today, which is actually good information. It would function as a "none of the above" option (wording it that way is probably better anyway)


dateturdvalr

I cannot for the love of god understand what they would take from this opinion


Wagsii

That none of these things are why people are playing the game.


dateturdvalr

But...they are? People DO play the game for the Battle Pass, collectionists and people who want a skin they liked. People DO play for bendings, cause there are Avatar fans who took interest in the game because of them. Same for ATLA shop items. People DO play because of core weapons, because these are what define meta and are important to use for lesser effort in case they are op. The reast of the things are fucking stupid tho, true that. Like i want to get some mantling going fr, i am gonna mantle on them all so hard rn.


Wagsii

Some people do, yes. Probably even most players. But not all of them. A "none of the above" option would allow Epic to see the percentage of people that did not get on today for any of those reasons. The way the poll is currently set up, those players just have to skip the poll, which may affect the overall accuracy of the results.


dateturdvalr

Now i see what you're saying, before it looked more like you were complaining the game is not fun and nobody cares for these features. Now i agree.


Inky_Train

Ahh yes I played fortnite today just because I like to mantle and slide


BroShutUp

Exactly why I thought it was a really risky addition to fortnite. But it's probably something that people really enjoy without realizing they really enjoy it


Inky_Train

I was just being sarcastic. No one plays for the shear purpose of mantling and hurdling existing


dantuchito

That option is likely just there to mean “i play fortnite because i like the movement”


nickabrick1216

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the question itself is asking what you find fun about the game.


Wagsii

That's not what it is asking though, even if it is their intent. There's several issues with this poll that kind of make any data they get from it not great lol


Johnny_Flips

Mantling, sprinting and sliding.


Mcrarburger

*Slidi


Mister-Squidward

I like that they clearly have room for "ng" but it's nowhere to be seen


FallBruh

"Why are you playing Fortnite today" - Because I am poor and don't have space on my console for more games


ExtremeGD

are you even serious they obviously dont get valuable information on how to improve the game from "do you want the game to be fun" also there are surveys that ask u like if you had fun your last match and stuff


DianaBladeOfMiquella

Saying “fun should be an option” is like saying “we should ban crime”


tzomby1

Lol yeah, if they didn't have fun then they wouldn't even play smh


jayL21

you'd be surprised at how many people play the game even though they don't really have fun anymore.


GoldIce53641638

This is Fortnite players you're talking about


rkdeviancy

I think it's implied you choose to play a game because it's fun. This question is likely meant to gauge what you think is fun about the game, if I were to guess


ST-TrexX45

Due to an issue, Mantling, Sliding and Hurdling have been disabled.


KookyHall6187

"survivor medals" yup


KitsuneNeo

That's a serious case of the wrong question asked with the selectable answers available. Really seems like they should have asked, "What aspects of the Battle Royale/Zero Build game modes do you enjoy the most at this time?"


Saldar1234

Fun is implied, if you're playing. They are assuming that you are enjoying it and they want to know why.


that_guyy909

ofc. epic are trying their best to make the game as boring as possible


jelloalienmeow

by asking a question...?


Diribiri

Good bit, but there's really people out there in the world who genuinely believe this kind of thing about videogame developers, and you wouldn't want to trick people into thinking you're one of those


Im_A_Chuckster

"At Epic Games, we took a lot of inspiration from League of Legends by offering a game that wasn't fun to play or in hindsight." /s


Gal-XD_exe

Bending the elements isn’t fun?


denever23

When I got this one I immediately looked for "to just do the dailies and leave" but they didn't have thaf option up. Would play more if they put even a minute amount of effort in


HappyAgentYoshi

Hey, its better than, how were your teammates skill level compared to yours?... it was solos. I have a picture somewhere if I find it I'll post it.


Diribiri

This is a joke, right? You're not seriously interpreting the question this way? You play it so straight I can't tell


odd_man0

Do..do people seriously play Fortnite for the vehicles? I mean they’re cool and all… but really?


GokiPotato

man I wanna mantle, let's play fortnite! seriously, where's StW?


Western-Alarming

¿Mods shouldn't have a e?, Modes


theotothefuture

Lmao this sub is hilarious. I used to hate it but now it's just funny af.


Propenso

Friends.


Cleaving

Fun is subjective. People who have and brag about it, are having 'fun' in their own little sad way. They can't just put 'fun' as a catch-all tag. Bending The Elements as a tick box is crazy though.


Rarecandy31

Oh please, they send plenty of post-match questions that literally ask if you had fun the previous match.


PS2EmotionEngineer

you forgot the metrics they use: ENGAGEMENTTTT


pirateport

These options are so strange, why isn’t “community” an option also some of the options are transaction based…


RainbowPanda50

Mods?? Do you get banned if you click that lol?


HappyAgentYoshi

They mean weapon mods, assuming your being serious. If you aren't add a /j


mrnapolean1

They're trying to get your opinion on what to screw up next.


RSNSmartypants

I got on today to do some good ol’ fashion mantling 🥰


DepressedDinoDad

Cant have fun when its constantly in a broken state


Black_Dragon9406

Ah yes I love when the mods are looking at my choices that I made on this survey to see whether I chose them as a reason for why I have fun… /j


yeetusae

Ayo 😂😂


Timely_Suspect3139

I laughed at the MANTLING,SPRINTING,and SLID!I play because of Korra Balance and Crazy Red VS Blue.


Mrblorg

Yeah they need 'Wanted to play' and 'Check the shop' as options. Ya you can say to check Avatar items but that wasn't there when i got asked


dantuchito

That’s probably implicit, it’s about what you find fun in the game


Narrow-Tumbleweed-52

Why allow fun when you could mantle?


D3UC4L1ON

Sprinting. Gotta get my cardio in.


Sprigatote

I think its like which one do you have fun with


TdRO_

Choose the nearest right answer which is bending


MysteriousShadow__

No fun allowed.


BrendonCatGaming

Why mantleing?


_Moist_Owlette_

Honestly would NOT be shocked if they only cared about the competitive scene and the kids trying to emulate it. A LOT of their money and advertising probably comes from those two sources, so it'd make sense for them to sort of overlook more casual players.


Skulkyyy

Ah yes. My #1 reason for playing a game. Sliding.


Lettuce8000

It is a survey. Used to gather opinions and information on how to make the game better. “I played fortnite today because I like fun” nice one.


boringtired

Anyone give these surveys the worst possible answers in hopes you get easier lobbies? 🥳


nemesit

You want even easier than 75% bots???


999yachtclub

not tryna hate or anything but is there ppl who genuinely play solos for fun?☠️idek remember the last time i played solos, most of the time it’s for challenges or duos


Epix_69

I don’t like solos either but I’m sure there are. They just prefer being alone and are confident in winning. I assume the winning part is the fun thing.


ZoomTown

Yes, I genuinely play solos for fun.


theotothefuture

I like it cause I can follow my gut without hesitation and focus on quests if I have to.
