Lottery Bins not a good idea.

I love this game. I want to spend money on this game to support it. I absolutely refuse to buy a lottery bin though. Allow us to purchase the skins we want. I will not spend a dime otherwise. I'm sho...

that's why you always see 99 people using the same skins in the same battle.

I've never encountered that in fortnite. There are so many different characters it's always a pretty good mix. Sure you see 4 or 5 the same but it has zero impact on my enjoyment of the game. What does impact my enjoyment is not being able to purchase what I want without using an underhanded scheme to make more money.

The thing is when you're opening up to free choice of purchase ( selecting the skin you want to buy instead of relying RNG crates )

Many many many people will end up buying the same skin every time something new and flashy comes out.

I do get the frustration and hate towards loot boxes I find them disgusting as well.

I think these games would work better without any of them. But the current free loot crates per rank/level is on par with Overwatch's loot box system.

I've gained 1 epic weapon skin, 3 Legend skins, 3 Blue weapon skins. And 2 common weapon skins, a legendary portrait frame even though I have no idea what it does.
And a bunch of voice lines and stat trackers.

And I'm only level 10/rank 10

  Oh never mind, I just found out what the frame does.
  When inspecting my profile you'll see my character surrounded by a animated fire breathing Dragon...

  This.fortnites skin system is terrible for me.i like to try to be a little bit unique through skins and the Overwatch/Apex leans more that way.in fortnite,people all rush to get that 1 skin thats in the shop,they wear it for a few weeks,then a new one comes out and they rush for that,rince and repeat.just doesnt appeal to me.i like more choice.

    I believe I'm confused by your use of "I like more choice". Doesn't fortnite have a ton of skins to choose from? How does the company releasing new skins limit your choice of what you put on? They are one of the few in recent years I've found that let you purchase what you want and have multiple options to choose from. Loot crates isn't a good idea and hasn't been and shouldn't be working for most games.
