What are the fans saying about the Weapon meta in Fortnite?

The fans are not quite pleased with what Fortnite is currently offering with its weapons meta. Just as you can see here, NRG Aussie Antics says how Epic could rather focus on balancing things rather than just vaulting them or adding useless and broken ones.

He also adds how adding new things and vaulting them the very season makes the differences very less, turning the game into a very stale one. There is a lot of scope for balanced and fun items that could be added.
