Fortnite has announced a new matchmaking system for the upcoming Update 10.40. Soon, players will even be able to fight against bots. We know this.
What is this matchmaking? Matchmaking refers to the process of pairing players together and connecting them in a match. Until now, this has always been a random process, but now it is set to change in Fortnite. Players will be matched based on their performance.
What are these bots? The bots that Fortnite will introduce are computer-controlled players. They will behave similarly to normal players. Fortnite will introduce these bots in Season 11.
New Matchmaking and Bots in Season 11
Why is Fortnite introducing a new matchmaking system? This new system aims to bring balance to the game. Players are more likely to encounter opponents of equal strength. The better you get, the stronger your opponents will be.
For a long time, players have complained that they face too strong opponents. The game is unbalanced and only the professionals can have fun. With this matchmaking, Fortnite aims to create balance so that all players have a fair chance again.
Why are bots being introduced in Season 11? These computer-controlled players are meant to provide an opportunity for beginners to practice and improve. The better you get, the fewer bots you will encounter. Additionally, these bots help to fill servers faster, so players do not have to wait too long.
What does the community think about this? Although this system was hoped for by many players, opinions are now divided. Some find it good, while others are unsure what to think. They write on Twitter:
- “Now that the game is becoming fairer, they could bring back Siphon, so weaker players don’t have to deal with aggressive playstyles.”
- “Finally someone with the same skill level as me!”
- “Players will just create multiple accounts to make 20-bomb videos.”
What do you think about these changes? Are you looking forward to it?
