TSM Myth Wants the Season 5 Rifts to Permanently be in Fortnite

Season 5 of Fortnite introduced a great deal of new features to the popular battle royale game from Epic Games. From a brand new desert area of the map to the ATK vehicles and also rifts that allow for some quick travel around the map of Fortnite. The introduction of the Season 5 Fortnite rifts have given players a new way to quickly make their way to different parts of the map in the same way that Season 4 brought the hop rocks and the increased jumping ability they gave players who consumed them.

However, the end of Season 4 saw Epic Games remove the hop rocks from the game, and Team SoloMid player Myth does not want to see the same fate befall the rifts at the end of Season 5. Myth took to his Twitter account recently and expressed his desire to see the rifts or some feature that acts in the same manner as them to be a permanent part of Fortnite. 

I genuinely think rifts and the totems or something similar should always be in the game, allows for so much more creativity in terms or initial drops / loot runs. 100% one of my favorite additions to the game.

TSM Myth cites the Season 5 rifts' ability to allow players to utilize creativity in where they drop and go for loot, as the rifts allow for players to make up a great deal of distance in a very short time, thus allowing for players to not feel restricted as to where they might have to land. He finally added that he sees the Fortnite Season 5 feature of the rifts as his favorite addition to the battle royale title. 

With over 50 days still left before the end of Season 5, members of the community still have plenty of opportunity to experience the unique and entertaining gameplay that the rifts have added to Fortnite before they are possibly removed by Epic Games for Season 6. With an overall positive reception to the addition of the rifts and the endorsement of the new feature by one of the biggest content creators and talented players in the Fortnite community, Epic Games may decide to either keep the Season 5 rifts as a permanent feature to its battle royale game or create or a new feature for Season 6 that provides a similar function.
