A couple of Storm Circles have now been tweaked in order to try to balance the late-game in competitive Fortnite. Many gamers enjoy booting up Fortnite so they can sit back and play a couple of matches to relax, but that's not the case for everyone. The competitive Fortnite scene is huge, and in the past couple of years, it has really taken off with tournaments with large cash prizes at stake. Competitive players train hard almost every day and have to be on top of all changes made to the game.Epic Games updates the game regularly. It can be hard for players to keep up sometimes, especially when the developers add controversial items like last season's Shockwave Hammer and this season's Kinetic Blade. In the end, Epic's main objective is to keep competitive Fortnite a balanced ordeal while keeping it as entertaining as possible. In a recent tweet, the official Fortnite status account announced that some changes had been made to Storm Circle 6 and 7. In an attempt to prevent players from resorting to camping and healing in the late-game, the Storm Circle will now start moving into the storm as it shrinks. What Epic Games hopes to see with these zone adjustments is a decrease in the heal-off meta, in which players try to stay alive for as long as possible in the storm while consuming all of their best healing items. Although it is a completely valid gameplay strategy, many viewers aren't entertained by watching their favorite streamers sit in a 1x1 while eating Floppers and using Chug Splashes to keep their HP up.
