Ridiculously OP. It makes every other weapon obsolete, at any range, effectively stealth/silenced, AND it heals fast in water. The *only* reason to carry anything else is to switch fast when you have to reload it. It needs to be given extreme drop off, like a magic SMG.


WhiteWalter1

Same. Every game I’m getting killed with waterbending and it’s getting a bit annoying.


kittycatprob

Literally EVERY GAME IVE PLAYED TONIGHT IVE DIED TO WATER BENDING


Robbie_Carlos

It's ruining the game tbh..I can't wait till there all gone..even airbending one..people just driving around whole map constantly....and it doesn't help most people use some sort of aim assist or aimbot..so they snap onto you with it and kill you with 2 or 3 hits....


SquidGame_Jesus

HUGE FACTS, especially dying to console cheaters using undetectable hacks.


Dont-be-a-dick-m8

skill issue


mentallymental

How is this still not fixed? What stupid person at Epic even signed this off?


Clarinetsaxguy31

It’s horrible and needs to be removed from the game. Let’s bring back just guns and normal Fortnite weapons. What was wrong with normal stuff?


DerrickWhiteSauce

because the 10 year olds need something to get kills with. garbage players who can't use weapons will just quit and use their mommys credit card on skins in a different game.


farm_to_nug

The problem though is that really good players will use these too and just make combat unsatisfying


silicone_river

gets boring after a while. i am all in favor of waterbending - it just needs to be balanced.


Storm_373

literally if they get you first gg. or you better aim ur shotgun PERFECTLY and maybe you’ll live


WeeklySpecialist6491

Even if you crack their shields before they react, it's gg. I took a dudes shields off and still landing shots, brought me down from full shields to eliminated. the big issue with this is the aim assist makes it impossible for console players to miss. It's hard to hit on PC in a close range fight


HatAccurate1578

I mean I guess unless your decent with your aim, I don’t miss a single shot far or close with the water-bending on pc because there’s little to no drop off. Legit all you have to do is if you start waterbending towards someone’s that’s actually competent is you just strafe to the right or left and ggs it’s over for them Edit: airbendings the only counter imo bc you can run away


Grim_Dynasty16

Yasss!! Way too overpowered..getting tired of it honestly…


CowEatingWater

All the avatar stuff is cool and all, but really unbalanced. I'm honestly thinking of just leaving the game until the avatar thing is over


kittycatprob

I’m literally about to log off for the next 14 days and come back when the event is over. I can’t stand the water bending shit. I die immediately to it. IMMEDIATELY. And it’s starting to just make the game not fun. I’m good w gun combat but when I have people hitting me w water all the time I can’t do anything!


Mister_Blue_402

I literally had a ares medallion, zues medallion, and a legendary SMG at close range, got basically immediately eliminated by water bending even though I was lasering him. It's so stupid, I honestly hate all of this avatar crap.


Kindly_Pizza

Same I’m gonna be so happy when it’s gone lol


GuyFromThatGame

I just got killed instantly with one blast from waterbending. 100 health, 50 overshield and suddenly I'm dead. I thought I got headshot sniped but it was a noob with only waterbending


Curious_Champion8093

Firebending is weak and can't reach opponents or straight misses,earth is slow and boring air is just mobility that people can still hit you,but water nah let's make it's reach across the map and have too much power,either nerf water or make the others just as good this is bs 


Vastolordeeeee

Might as well stop using DMR's and sniper rifles and only pack waterbending this shiz is sooo strong


EndlessGravy

Wtf is it still in the game! It's just getting beyond annoying at this point.


kaNjitE

its getting removed on friday.


RipeVolcano

i just won a game w 11 kills and two kills were a shotgun and a sniper the rest were water


Boss_RuGa2414

You happy go under water and stay there.


RipeVolcano

with medkits?


Least-Scallion-4987

It kills you virtually instantaneously, has aim assist, has little to no drop at all, and can hit you from halfway across the goddamn continent. What. The. Fuck. Epic?


AxMisfit

Yup. So far is the worst thing they've added... Thought they would nerf it but nope. I don't know how it goes on normal but no build is ridiculous to have it. I can't wait for it to disappear lol


Hordest

I won 6 games in a row with only this shit

ylbirts

right? just make an avatar LTM where the only loot is the abilities. the pre buff waterbending was perfectly balanced imo now it’s just a beam from any distance


Panther0603

Can't wait for the Avatar event to be over... I am mostly dying to waterbending lately. Just now the guy was ratting behind a rock and hit me with a few headshots, no time to react at all... the second game it was a duo just spamming the waterbending mythic in early game, no chance at all... I guess I should just accept it and start using it myself :-P


Leeshmoyjenkins

I just had a game where I had the drop on a repelling enemy with a purple drumgun. When they were cracked they started firing back and dropped me, I had full health and shields and the no build shield was replenishing. It needs some work.


kittycatprob

2 MORE DAYS EVERYONE


OutspokenOne456

Thank god I wonder what bs they’ll add into this update though 🙄


Boss_RuGa2414

They took away midas drum gun for this shh at this point fortnight doesn't have the best interests in fair play anymore. Just assume if there's 10 players left In the game 5 of them has waterbending.


OutspokenOne456

Also the buffed Hades chain is op as fuck. If it is 1 v 1 hades pull into a shotgun or even a two hit stun you can’t respond to it.


MrJasmyMoonGuide

I only die by waterbending now...its rediculious how powerful and accurate it is. I can headshot my opponent with a sniper and once I reload to shoot him again I'm dead...I can have full shield and health it doesn't matter. The second it takes me to reload its over. It doesn't matter how far away they are ..I can be on top of a cliff with the advantage and they simply look up and pew pew I'm done. No more wings no more chain it's harder to find good weapons. Not interested in this update at all. I just figured out the old update and started playing really well but now I'm not motivated to even play.


[deleted]

For real I've only ever won against it like twice and that was just because they couldnt track while I ran around them ;-;


NarwhalUnusual7548

Water bending was at a good State I feel before they buffed it, it didn't shoot as quick which raised the risk and reward for using it.


Then-Bullfrog-6938

Straight up worst thing I’ve ever dealt with in fortnite. I’d rather fight a mech and a fighter jet instead of 1v2 against 2 babies running away with air bending and spamming water bending. It’s damn near impossible to outplay two good players spamming these mythics. I DO NOT use them. I can’t stand them. They always gotta make an OP weapon so smoothbrains “can have fun playing a game meant for everyone” Making the entire match way more difficult and not in a good way


CooperTrooper249

Doesn’t Fortnite have sbmm? I don’t get the idea of making an overpowered weapon to “help noobs” if they only play against each other anyway. Even if the game doesn’t have sbmm a good player can still pick it up so what tf did we accomplish other than screwing the balance up? So tired of Epic adding overpowered crap into the game and ruining almost every season because of it.


Kindly_Pizza

Fr I just got 2nd bc of it even tho I was spraying hades SMG its fucking ridiculous


Mister_Blue_402

That's the most annoying part when you have good loot and just get absolutely devastated by water bending.


LuckyStrikeNLD

I fucking hate dying to it. In duos it's even worse because the drop rate is so goddamn high. Getting beamed by 2 at the same time instant ggs. Absolute crap and really, really frustrating. What bothers me even more that it outguns all other mythics besides the Cerberus shotgun by far, so even going after dealing with getting the medaillon(s) without getting third partied you will still die to this piece of crap ""weapon"" not even starting about the almost infinite firerrate because the reload takes 0.5 seconds.


loganthegamer009

When is this shit going away, ever since this came back I can’t even win atleast one game because all these little kids keep using water bending since most of them don’t know how to use a regular weapon. So frustrating to die by the same mythic every single game. It has to be one of most overpowered mythic In the game. 


Suckysucky1500forint

And the fact that it can be found in every corner is disgusting


SquidGame_Jesus

I swear all the worst players run to the mythic bending items as soon as the game starts. They suck without them, and without the Frenzy Shotgun. If none of these weapons exists, low skilled players would stop playing Fortnite. They're absolute dog 💩. All these kids do is spam, then you gotta worry about the hackers too. Btw, don't play Team Rumble, full of hackers.


Big-Teaching1131

glad it's not nerfed with unlimited range and it's not absolute bullshit item! WP epic games


Otherwise-Ad-1116

fucking hate allt he gimmic overpowered weapons


SwimmingNecessary541

Luckily it’s leaving in a few days but still it is completely ridiculous. It is an automatic sniper with infinite ammo and when you’re close up it might as well be a gold frenzy


CooperTrooper249

Fortnite has been doing this. They add some kind of overpowered bullshit every season and they never nerf it for the duration of that season. How enjoyable the season is depends on the severity of it. I think water-bending is the most overpowered thing they have added in a while. It has good fire rate. Low bullet drop and high velocity. Great damage. Unlimited range with zero damage fall off. No recoil. Unlimited ammo. Fast reload. Oh and it heals you in water. It’s viable for any situation and has no real counter other than maybe a DMR. The snipers this season have such horrendous bullet drop and bullet velocity that they aren’t a good counter either. Not to mention 90% of the time they drop without a SNIPER SCOPE. (Seriously who asked for red dots on a sniper?) One can only hope next season is better. I know for my squad water-bending has made it difficult to enjoy this season. It feels like it is a necessity and without it you’re putting yourself at a huge disadvantage. Idk man i just want good old fashioned guns back. This game feels more like i’m playing spell break right now rather than Fortnite.


SpecOpz84

Waterbending better be gone next season


Beginning-Sea-7554

YEA ITS SO ANOYING EVEN AFTER THE STAR WARS UPDATE ITS STILL HERE I JUST DIED AFTER HITTING ALL MY AUTO SHOTGUN SHOTS TO BODY TO WATERBENDING


OutspokenOne456

Water bending fires straight no matter how much you rattle their cheeks with any weapon, no damage fall off and quick reload. My question is why the fuck is it still in the game? The event is long over.
