Fortnite and Competitive Loot Pool

Fornite has seen major criticism over loot pools (the guns used and legal) in competitive Arena playlist modes. Recently, it has been all mythic items and the heavy sniper guns and rocket launchers that have made headlines on Reddit. But over the past couple of years there have been pump shotguns and grenades which made similar headlines on Reddit. Now, do I think Epic Games Fortnite Inc. should address these changes? Yes and no! This is the answer itsJerian on YouTube said when answering the same exact question pertaining to Fortnite loot pools. We both agree, Epic wanted to make these items overpowered and (in essence; effectively ) "broken" so the spots they are available at, are more rare and contested. Introducing, as itsJerian stated, a high risk high reward: low risk low reward, motto within the Fortnite competitive scene. Although, this has sparked much controversy outside of Fortnite, to who claims which territory on the map. Many of the more well established duos have taken the mythic item spawn places as their main drop spot in competitive. While others have backed down, and tried something more uncontested since almost everyone tried to land at the special new locations. These locations are the most ideal locations on the map. Most of them have excellent rotation vehicles and (as mentioned prior) overpowered loot. This makes the competitive loot pool quite interesting which we have not seen in a while.
