The battle royal genre is in no way "Fun"

I say this because It's 10% skill, 10% strategy and 80% being in the right place at the right time. It doesn't bother me to lose in a game like Counter-Strike or Rainbow Six Siege because I was beaten fair and square. In games such as these, the outcome is almost entirely in your control. In Battle Royale games, you win because the gun was in the house on the left and not the right. Or you started in the play zone, and they did not. Or you happened upon the good stuff, and they did not. You get the point. Why carefully construct balanced maps with balanced spawns when you can make a mostly barren map and throw players in and pretend the random elements make it exciting?

There is no reward for shooting a guy who can't fight back. It doesn't feel right to kill a guy after hiding behind a wall waiting for him to get close. There is nothing redeemable about this style of game. On a fundamental level, it is purely not fun but frustrating.
