Fortnite fans are losing love for the airbending mythic as it continues to dominate the endgame
Some Fortnite players are starting to lose their patience with the airbending mythic, as it's become a recipe for disaster in the late stages of the battle royale game (via CharlieIntel).

Other players have decided that the best course of action would be for Epic [Games] to add the Chains of Hades tool back into Fortnite. «Please put the Chains Of Hades back in the game before this event ends I’m begging you, Epic…Just one time I need to pull one of these people out of the hamster wheel and do what needs to be done,» one Reddit user says.
The Chains of Hades would certainly even things out, if only to make players think twice before shrouding themselves in a whirlwind of air. Unfortunately, the
