The number of Fortnite players is currently around 125 million and the League is about 100 million (February 2018). But now I ask myself if League is not perhaps more popular, because as you probably all know this year is the 10th birthday of lol. However, Fortnite has only been around for a good year.
Since I also found in my circle of acquaintances that fewer and fewer people who used to play Fortnite did not do it anymore.
Something came to my mind:
Is not it banal to compare a game that is so young with one that has existed for 10 years? After all, League has kept its player numbers pretty high. Should not you rather compare Fortnite's numbers with last year's League if Fortnite is the same age? What do you think?
The games address 2 different groups of gamers. Fortnite is more of a fad and has yet to prove itself. I would say that the hype compares well with that of Minecraft.
Fortnite has 78 million Fortnite has more of a younger community.
League of Legends player count fluctuates. In 2016, it had over 100 million
In 2017, it fell to 81 million
2018- not known
Minecraft has 91 million players
Roblox more than 50 million

League of Legends is more popular. I think the Fortnite hype is very similar to the Pokemon Go Hype. It lasts a few months-years. League of Legends has been a very popular game since 2015 and then there's Minecraft.

At League, they've released 2 Youtube hits that attracted many players. One of these videos has reached 100 million clicks (KdA) and one over 70 million (Rise)
Roblox more than 50 million
Minecraft has 91 million players
Minecraft has to keep in mind that it is also offered in several consoles and that for years. In addition, the Minecraft hype could come back by the 1.14 update that was extremely well received by the players.
Fortnite has so few players I had somehow seen a different number.
It could be that it is fluctuating.
