I’m with you on this, but I think a lot of it’s just popularity (occams razor and all that). I’m a casual player too, and when I started playing, word of mouth was just spreading and I was somewhere in the middle, now when I play it I’m 1 shot killed every time. I think as time has gone on the amount of people who practise every day and have got good has risen. I don’t think it’s anything underhand, it’s the same with a lot of games, once the popularity rises it becomes impossible to play. (I play on PS4)

Yes, I can see that as a component. However, I think there is also an effect that works in the opposition of popularity. Many games I've played in the past when at their peak of popularity had plenty of bad players. The popularity was a continuous draw of new players which had little experience. However, as the games popularity waned, then only the true die-hards remained. Maybe Fortnite is already past the peak curve in on-ramping new comers.
