Fortnite is well-known for collaborating with popular franchises each season by including new in-game content such as skins, map POIs, and mythics.
With Chapter 5 Season 2, it was official that Fortnite's next big collaboration was with Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender, after the inclusion of Korra as the bonus reward of the battle pass. In the middle of Chapter 5 Season 2, Epic Games has brought in their official collaboration with Avatar by including a new elemental pass, quests, in-game mythic, and map changes.
While the elemental mythics were well received by the player base, it seems like the airbending mythic has struck a nerve with many players after being abused in the final circle of every match.
The airbending mythic is ensuing chaos in Fortnite
After the removal of Wings of Icarus, players heavily leaned on the Airbending mythic for mobility and utility. Currently, the airbending mythic is the best method of traversal in the game as it allows players to zoom through and jump consequently without any difficulties.
The air wheel feature of the airbending mythic has however led to chaos in the Zero build game mode. In a recent gameplay clip shared in the Fortnite subreddit, the poster shows how final circles of every zero build game is filled with players abusing the airbending mythic to move around and avoid all forms of confrontation.
As the airbending mythic has no apparent cooldown, most players are using it avoid fights in the final circle by moving around the circle constantly. The only way to stop a player doing so is by eliminating them which is difficult to do considering how much they keep moving.
Other players in the comment section also agreed with original poster about how annoyed they are with the airbending mythic. Fortunately, the only good thing about the airbending mythic is that it will become unavailable soon as soon as the crossover event with Avatar is over which will bring the Olympian mythics back to the game.
