I definitely don't think Fortnite can be underrated at this point. It's the biggest game by virtually every measure going right now. The player base is bigger than any other. The biggest streamer, by far, is a Fortnite streamer, as are many of the other top gaming streamers.

Still, it's not a low skill game. It may not have the gun play that other games have, but the building aspect separates the talented players from the bad players. It's not as RNG as the other big BR game. IMO, the only "low skill" aspect of it is that it's third person perspective. Honestly, I think most of the "kid's game" stuff is because of the graphics, pretty sure I heard some of the same stuff when TF2 came out.
