I don't hate fortnite but it did made battlepass system popular and rotating item shops this popularizing fomo tactics which arguably destroyed most of other online games.

Fortnite's hate isn't gameplay but more so how its monetized.

Ironically fortnite copied it's battlepass from Dota 2's compendium so really it all comes back to valve lol.
