Other Summary Hi,there is lag in early game in “Tournaments” and “Ranked” Battle Royale (its is perfectly fine in Unranked BR) this problem only happens to players with 50-60 ping, A lot of people who play 50+ ping face the same issue. it feels really laggy to edit/build as if im playing on 100 ping instead of 50, as people die in game the delay gets better by the time theres 10-20 alive it gets normal 5…

if maybe you can make the servers back they were in Fortnite OG ,it would fix everything !
