Legally Blind Fortnite Player Explains Gaming Disadvantages
FellowFortnitefans have been sharing their praise for the gamer, as well as their questions. Several were puzzled by how they could have even played a match inFortnite,as they were unclear on the meaning of being legally blind. As indicated by holderofthebees, legally blind doesn’t mean that the person has no vision whatsoever.Legally blindis defined as any vision worse than 20/200, or not being able to see past the first letter on a vision chart even with glasses or contacts. Holderofthebees also has a condition called Chiari malformation that puts pressure on their brain, which can cause their hands to shake and occasionally causes double vision. Needless to say, holderofthebees has a lot of factors working against them, but still came out on top. Their loadout allowed them to take down enemies without needing precise aim, with their stats accordingly indicating that they got their win without any headshots.
One concern holderofthebees has is what the future will hold for them inFortniteonce the season ends.Fortnitetypically Vaults some items and weapons, so the OP may need to find a new loadout that works for them. Any Victory Royale is something to celebrate, but this player’s achievement is extremely impressive and something that manyFortnitefans said they should be proud of.
