Tfue has shared his thoughts about why Fortnite is one of the highest skill gap games of all time, even ahead of CoD.
What’s the game with the highest skill gap in the world? It’s a contentious question where there’s really no objective answer. It’s all relative. Some may think MOBAs are hard, while others may picture fighting games or aim-intensive titles at the top of the list.
For Twitch star Turner Tenney, also known as Tfue, Fortnite is among the hardest games to play out there, as he explained on the Impaulsive podcast.

On the surface, the Battle Royale title may appeal to all ages thanks to its wide range of collabs, live events, and cartoony graphics. But Tfue has explained it’s far from easy despite how it looks.
Tfue explains why Fortnite is a higher-skill gap game than CoD
“I think right now Fortnite is like one of the highest skill gap games of all time,” he said. He then went on to explain that if you take “some random” pro player from another game and have them hop on Fortnite, they could be just “average” due to the high skill gap.

Although Fortnite can, of course, be enjoyed casually, he described the top players in this game as “so good” that these people are “insane.” Think of those who have played Builds for years with their wild reaction times, as well as impressive aiming and decision-making skills.
Following this, he mentioned the experience of well-known streamer Stable Ronaldo, who “was a great Fortnite player back in the day,” being able to compete and play in tournaments.

Although his content has shifted, at one point, he challenged “one of the best players” in the world to a 1v1. “His opponent would start with 99 deaths, and he would start with about one life. So, all he has to do is kill him once, and this kid has to kill him a hundred times,” he explained.
In the end, he didn’t even get to kill the player once and died a hundred times. “That’s how good these new players are.”

Tfue added: “You can go into a game with one of the best players in the world, and we could give you a month, but you just wouldn’t kill them. Where, like, if you go into a Call of Duty lobby versus the best CoD player in the world, dude, you’re gonna kill them.”
Obviously, the matter is up for debate. We’d wager the likes of Scump or the Tiny Terrors would have a thing or two to say about it. If push comes to shove, let’s settle it in a good old-fashioned Rust 1v1.
