How has the Shooting Test #1 Been Received by Streamers?

The Shooting Test #1 game mode went live on 5th February, click here to read the full details of what this game mode entails.

Even though this game mode was supposed to improve shooting accuracy, there were mixed opinions by streamers.

Dakotaz tweeted:

I'm gonna be honest. I don't like the test servers and I don't like the new shooting system they're trying to add to Fortnite. Maybe It's the unpopular opinion but I really think Fortnite is perfect the way it is. Why change something that people seem to be enjoying?

Did not most of us jump in and love Fortnite because it dared to be different from all the other Battle Royales?

Daequan also tweeted:

My opinion on the shooting test is a negative. 👎🏽Promotes camping and less movement by nerfing Aggression because the aim mechanic forces you to not be moving and quick peeking is superior. Shotgun headshot dmg is too low. Smg's > Shotguns at all ranges if you can aim. LUL.

Dr Lupo hinted that he likes the changes with his tweet:

Holy crap, when accuracy is rewarded, it feels insanely good.

— DrLupo (@DrLupo) February 5, 2018

We think that Epic should look into making the accuracy better whilst players are moving, as it seems as though when players are stationary, there is better accuracy, but not when players are moving. This has encouraged more campers in the game. Furthermore, it seems streamers and players alike aren’t happy with the nerf to shotguns, with an SMG being able to out perform a pump shoutgun up close.

UPDATE: Since writing this article, the competitive Fortnite roster for TSM (Team SoloMid) have given their thoughts on the new shooting model.
