The no-skin effect - Fortnite

In the game fortnite, the no-skin effect is an assumption of a rookie play-style, when some experienced players encounter another player based on the appearance of a skin set to default.

Before fighting the experienced player will go easy on the no-skin player based on the expectation the no-skin player is a rookie and has a rookie play-style.

After seeing play-styles of players and in the end of the battle/fight in the BR game fortnite, the experienced player's original assumption or conclusion of a no-skin has either A) stayed the same: the no-skin is an inexperienced player (AKA real no-skin) or B) changed: the no-skin is another experienced player (AKA fake no-skin).
