Hi, I'm 13 years old and my friends are laughing at me because I'm poor in Fortnite. I want to get better so my friends do not laugh at me.
You improve yourself, as in any other game, by playing.
Play already 9 months
Then you have to practice more and chat with people who can give you tips on how to get better.
But it's also not ok to be as good as the others. You may have other talents for that. Besides, they are not good friends if they laugh at you about it. Real friends help you get better at what you want to do. They support you.
Then maybe it's just not the game for you. For my part, I was always grotty in shooters of all kinds, but neat in strategy games.
The problem with Fortnite is that it's now dominated by the core players who have all played eternally and are simply in the system. Then there's this stupid construction system that's hard to learn, especially if the enemy is just such a pro and built a complete city before you've pulled up the first wall.
And honestly, what is it? If I see an opponent in a shooting game, then I want to see a fight with a lot of rumgeballer - and not 300 walls.
If your friends are laughing at you, then show them the middle finger and play games that are fun, adults and you do not try with overpriced items skins, etc. To lend the money out of his pocket.
Play something different
End friendship, these are not friends
Play group wedges, then you will get a good feel for the environment and weapons.
