Fortnite Season 10 kicked off on August 1 and introduced the B.R.U.T.E. mech. But players didn’t seem to be happy with this new introduction and after many complaints, Epic Games, finally reviewed the B.R.U.T.E. Within just 5 days of its arrival, players were finding the B.R.U.T.E mech as requiring no skill at all and just an easy way to get kills and victory royales. Epic Games after much reconsideration, recently released Fortnite 10.10 update and made some major changes to the B.R.U.T.E mech wherein, players were equipped with a targeting laser hooked with directional audio. But it was no good as Epic Game had to nerf the mech finally. After which, the mechs were reported to blowing themselves up. But Epic doesn’t seem to be learning from the past mistakes as the company is now facing rage from fans over cross-platform skill-based matchmaking.
Recently, Epic Games v10.40 update which introduced a new matchmaking system and bots alongside many other features like removal of ‘Left trigger spamming.’ But it seems like Epic Games has once again messed up as fans are furious with the cross-platform matchmaking as it is automatically matching players up from different platforms. And since all these different platforms have different controls, players are really pissed off with this.
Fortnite community is raging and Epic Games is once again under fire as players are criticizing the company for the latest v10.40 update since Fortnite is no longer taking into account the platform on which players are competing when using skill-based matchmaking algorithm to create lobbies. Instead, PS4, Xbox One, PC, and even mobile players are all being mixed together as standard.
With Fortnite Season 10 near its end, Epic Games has a conundrum to solve. It will be a tough job for the company to overcome this failure and we hope, Fortnite gets back to fair matchmaking for everyone. Here’s what a Reddit user feels about platform-based matchmaking:
