The most RNG-filled moment in a Fortnite game is when you first touch down on the ground.
Having a chest be in the spawn you targeted and having that chest give you a good weapon for the early game are crucial moments.

That loot RNG and the spawn RNG are really the only major sources of luck that happen consistently in most Fortnite games.

One simple solution is to have competitive Fortnite take on a different ruleset exclusive to the Gauntlet mode which could help solve these issues for competitive players while leaving the main game untouched.
