'Fortnite: Battle Royale' Nerfed Thanos When It Should Have Buffed Him

While it was strange enough that Thanos was arriving in Fortnite for a Marvel crossover event, stranger still was the fact that when he did show up, Epic decided they needed to nerf him immediately, launching a live hotfix to do so. Apparently they thought the Mad Titan was just too powerful in his present form, so they reduced his shield, which recharged on kill, and bumped his health a bit. They also decreased the damage his beam attack does and…all of this left many players scratching their heads. I've played with and against both versions of Thanos, and my initial thought was certainly not that he was in such a desperate need of a nerf that he had to be hotfixed. Rather, if anything, it seems like he might need to be buffed a little bit.
