One of the new gliders, according to YouTubers, is “Pay2Win”. For normal players, it does not make a big impression, but professionals have a problem with it.
It’s normal for Fortnite to occasionally have items that are considered to give you an advantage. Sometimes it is about the lack of sounds of footsteps, sometimes it is a faster run, and other times it is more difficult to see or hit the opponent.
In this case, it’s about the last one, i.e. difficult aiming. The players realized that one of the new gliders, through its animation, protects the player from others in some way.
A glider that gives an advantage?
Normal players do not use practically any ways to make the game easier for themselves or make life difficult for their opponents – they are just having fun. It is different on the PRO stage, where every, even the smallest thing, matters.
Therefore, now everyone has focused on this glider, which for skilled people is in some way protection against others. Why? At the moment of the animation, the character is on a glider, which makes it difficult to hit.
It is already said that the glider can be turned off in tournament modes. Youtubers record videos about it, and topics are created on Reddit. Rather, Epic already knows about it, but no decision has been made yet.
It is possible that the glider will be changed in some way, but it is also not certain. After all, it doesn’t change much during matches.
