Hate is a strong word, but it\u2019s one that we humans often use \u2013 even if we don\u2019t necessarily hate \u201cit.\u201d Ever since Fortnite was released in 2017, it\u2019s been constantly engaging its fans through collaborations with pop culture icons and big-name artists. This is done by releasing a wide range of cosmetics that players can show off in-game. As of March 2022, there are approximately 1,290 skins for Fortnite. You would think that Epic Games has it all, but success hasn\u2019t been constantly guaranteed for the company. Despite being only cosmetic items that offer no tactical advantage, certain skins have earned a bad reputation in Fortnite and this article will go over the most Hated Fortnite Skins. <\/p>\n
The Fortnite community has been candid about their likes and dislikes. Since the beginning, we\u2019ve seen many skins in Fortnite come and go. Keeping that in mind, T5G (Top 5 Gaming) asked the people over on Twitter to name their most hated skin. The community responded with vigor. As with everything on Twitter, the Fortnite fans on that platform are active and quick to point out anything that doesn\u2019t sit particularly well with them.<\/p>\n
Players had a few choice words to utter when it came to the Megumi, Chigusa, and Yuki skins, also known as anime skins. They were initially unveiled during the 6th Season of Fortnite, and fans were immediately disgusted by what they saw. Why are they so hated, you ask? The answer lies in the cell-shaded graphics that Epic developed for these characters. Not only did they look out of place in Fortnite\u2019s metaverse, but it made them appear fake.<\/p>\n
Soccer skins have always been abhorred, and that\u2019s still the case now. This is especially true for female versions. Besides being hated amongst the community for their basic designs, other players believed using these skins makes their hitbox smaller. Of course, that was all a hoax.<\/p>\n
Besides this category, many skin enthusiasts dislike the Banner and Superhero skins due to the \u201csmaller hitbox\u201d reasoning. Plus, there was a time when many players misused Superhero skins to gain an unfair advantage over their opponents, resulting in Epic revising them.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no other character skin that boils the blood of many Fortnite players than Travis Scott. Ironically, he was previously ranked amongst the best skin sets for the battle royale, but that all changed when Astroworld saw nine individuals lose their lives with others injured.<\/p>\n
This fiasco prompted a substantial controversy as thousands rallied for lawsuits against the artist. Heck, the chaos even reached Fortnite and players demanded Epic Games remove the Travis Scott skin in the game. The company obliged with this demand.<\/p>\n
The Travis Scott skin was introduced during the pandemic when he hosted an in-game concert that became famous within the whole gaming community. In-game concerts weren\u2019t a new thing in Fortnite \u2013 even Marsmello and Ariana Grande had one. But the visuals at Travis\u2019 concert were truly next level. Thousands of people clamored to get Travis\u2019 unlockable character for 1,500 V-Bucks, but ever since the Astroworld controversy, the skin is no longer available for purchase.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re one of those that have this skin after everything that ensued, you now have one of the rarest cosmetics in Fortnite. You\u2019ll hardly notice anyone using it at this time, though, since most if not all users would get heavily criticized for simply equipping Travis Scott in a match. If you don\u2019t want to get trash-talked to oblivion by randoms, it\u2019s best just to let it gather some dust in your inventory for now.<\/p>\n
Imagine having a playable character you could customize in-game \u2013 that\u2019s what Epic Games dreamt of when they made the Boundless Set and introduced Backlash to the Fortnite players. However, the dream soon turned into a nightmare when competitors started using an All-White or All-Black design for Backlash. This is because when players do this, Backlash\u2019s avatar is drastically harder to see, thereby disrupting online matches. In the end, Epic was forced to revise the skin from their store.<\/p>\n
If you asked any avid Fortnite player what\u2019s the most loathed skin in the game, nine times out of ten, their answer would be Dynamo. If you post a clip of you wearing the said skin in a match, you\u2019re guaranteed to be torn to shreds in the comments section.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re not exactly sure how the hatred for Dynamo began and how it got its current status, but perhaps it\u2019s due to it being a very \u201csweaty\u201d skin \u2013 for context, being labeled as \u201csweaty\u201d means that you\u2019re a tryhard.<\/p>\n
For whatever reason, wearing a Dynamo skin during matches is like putting a \u201cKick Me\u201d sign on your back. If you jump off the Battle Bus wearing Dynamo, you better be as good as the skin suggests you are.<\/p>\n
As Fortnite continues to grow as a platform, the number of skins is likely to soar. There\u2019s a strong fanbase for Epic\u2019s battle royale title right now, as it stands firm as one of the best in its genre. Who knows? When the tenth anniversary of Fortnite comes around, we might have to update the list with more skins that gamers detest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
