Found out about no build mode when I was asked to play recently and the game is, to my surprise, fun without the building.

The people who have mastered building and can create a fort around me in 0.32 seconds are cringe in my book. Not sure how that was ever deemed a fun game mechanic, it's frustrating (to me, someone who only plays with their hands).

Fortnite was originally a different game, in which the build mechanic played a much more important role. The Battle Royale bit was just an add-on that became so popular they dropped the original game.

No one could do that shit the first few years. Then they added hotkeys and sped it all up. Ruined the game for a filthy casual like me. No build is a lot of fun, though.
