Ali Kabbani, better known as Myth, is a popular American YouTuber and live streamer. Apart from that, he’s also a professional Fortnite battle royale player. Being a gaming enthusiast, he keeps noticing various trends in the community. And when it comes to shooter games in general, Myth believes there’s a completely new wave of players emerging these days.
On his Twitter account, Myth recently posted a tweet. He tried to explain that there’s “a real divide happening right now in the shooter genre. There’s a slowly growing fanbase that’s in love with fluid and skill based movement/ mechanics.” So much so that, according to him, someone might even come up with a title like that, just to cater to this section of gamers.

This tweet comes after Jake Lucky shared a clip where some players were seen trying out new ways of entering a match. Technically speaking, then it can be called a new kind of improvisation to play shooter games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.
Per Myth, the new wave of gamers are more interested in developing their own movement and skills these days. And that’s why it will be crucial for studios to focus on this kind of growing trend. Gone are the days when the given mechanics in a title were the only way of playing and making progress.
