Fortnite

Fortnite is another game that I started playing because of my children.  They always had fun playing Fortnite and since I had some free time on my hands, I wanted to see what it was all about.  I had never owned a game console.  I had never even played on one.  My computer games consisted of Solitaire, Farmville, and Magic the Gathering.  I was curios.

My first install of Fortnite was not on a console.  I didn't even own one.  I played on a laptop with keyboard and mouse.  I was horrible at it and wondered if I would do any better on a console so I found a good deal on a used ps4 at the local pawnshop.  Using a controller proved to be more my speed.   Yes, I did try using a controller with the laptop but  quickly learned that my outdated-limping-along laptop was probably a contributing factor to why I usually died before the first storm circle even formed!  I have since upgraded from a ps4 to a ps5.

As of this writing, I have played 17,165 games of Fortnite with 23,344 kills across all games modes.  When you do the math you can see that I have less than a 2% kill rate.  I'm obviously not a sweat!  My win percentage depends on who is carrying me.  In Solo I have a 2.2% win rate but in Duos my win rate increases to 5.2%.  The more people there are to carry me, the higher my win rate increase.  My Trio win rate is 9% and my Squads win rate is 13.7%.

I'm presenting all of this information just to let you know...  If you stumble across me hiding in a bush on Fortnite, you really don't have to try so hard.  I'll probably kill myself quicker by falling off a cliff while I'm running from you than I ever will from you trying to headshot me.
