Was there any point in this at all? All the broken stuff is still here, the game is literally the exact same, except now I have 0 arena points. Still stupid guns, stupid fish, no movement.. it’s really bad and if it stays like this Fortnite will struggle the next couple of weeks - none of us want that. Already seen a lot of comp streamers playing other games or complaining.

Do whatever you want in pubs - them guys want the changes and it’s cool for them, but if you want your competitive community to hang around and to grow, interact with us and listen, we play the game hours everyday, we know what works well in arena/tournaments and right now this game is in a pretty bad state.

Hoping for an update, or even a tweet letting us know what’s happening over the next couple hours.

EDIT - People are saying comp preseason is over, give them sometime to review feedback before changes or wherever.. surely they could’ve put up a tweet saying they’re looking into potential changes or something. But no, they just changed the arena points and left it at that. Makes me think nothing will be changed.

The intent of preseason was to allow players the opportunity to learn the new season and everything that changed (since there was quite a lot that changed) while playing against players of similar Hype. In this way, you aren't trying to learn all the new changes and getting adjusted to the meta while also trying to get to Champion League at the same time, which we felt may be frustrating to players. Essentially trying and testing out everything without negative consequence. One week of time we felt was enough to get adjusted.

We never guaranteed adjustments would be made at the end of Preseason but I can understand how that would be a natural assumption. I've seen many people express they'd rather just learn everything while earning Hype at the same time. The feedback from players is still important here.

Changes may still happen later but we weren't tying it specifically to the end of Preseason. In hindsight it seems we should have made it clear not to expect any changes by the end of Preseason.
