Fortnite is filled with a variety of players, boasting vastly different skill levels, amount of experience, and various other factors. The Battle Royale title even allows skillful players to showcase their achievements and Victory Royales, with emotes such as the Crowning Achievement Emote that showcases their Crowned Victory Royales.

However, while players have every right to flaunt their victories, it can become stale and annoying for some. This is highlighted in a recent Reddit post shared by u/Pomso, where they shared a screenshot of a Chapter 5 Season 3 match, with them spectating a player donning the Clinical Crosser Outfit, a classic skin used by more sweaty players.

The user expressed their frustration at seeing a player flexing their Crowned Victory Royales presumably at the end of every match. The Reddit post ignited a flurry of reactions, with Redditor u/balladofwindfishes highlighting their feelings regarding the practice of the Crowning Achievement Emote and stating:

Other members engaged in a discussion about sweaty players and the game's overall competitive environment, with u/MarkHowes hilariously suggesting how they perform the Crowning Achievement Emote with zero Crowned Victory Royales.

Meanwhile, u/Loomling calculated how the player featured in the Reddit post must have gotten two Crowned Victory Royales daily since Chapter 5 Season 3 kicked off.

Redditor u/TopicActual expressed their frustration with the idea of Crowned Victory Royales, asserting how the idea was one of the more lackluster ones from Epic Games. u/6934ee, on the other hand, expressed their contempt against players like the one featured in the Reddit post.

The Crowning Achievement Emote is one of the many in-game gestures that players can perform to express themselves on the battlefield. However, this emote stands out as it never came to the Fortnite Item Shop and was automatically granted to all players when Victory Crowns were first introduced in Chapter 3 Season 1.

Using the Crowning Achievement Emote allows players to showcase the number of Crowned Victory Royales they have in the current season, letting their competition know how skillful they are.
