Toxic community of Fortnite

The toxicity in Fortnite has increased over time. This is due to increased competition and new players being added to the community every season.

Every single player is aiming to be the best at what they do in the game, ranging from being good at building or aiming for the game skill one possesses. With game lobbies becoming more and more sweaty every day, Epic is consistently adding more bots to public matches as they face major backlash from the player base.

While there are positive and family-friendly pros in the community like NickEh30, SypherPK and BenjyFishy, there are pros who are known for their aggressive behavior that usually overpower others' in-game skills.

This is one of the reasons why more and more players who watch these pros get affected by it and develop their traits.
