The skill-based matchmaking is set to return in the team mode of Fortnite. Players are blaming Twitch streamer Ali “SypherPK” Hassan for this. He is defending himself against the accusations.
This is the situation in Fortnite: It appears that skill-based matchmaking has returned to the game after being removed from the team mode for a few days.
This feature was unpopular among many players because it made matches too challenging. It is also bothering Twitch streamers Jack “CouRage” Dunlop and Ben “DrLupo” Lupo, who commented on the Fortnite World Cup in 2019.
Many players were happy after its removal and are now blaming a Twitch streamer. He made a YouTube video explaining that there were too many bots in a round since the matchmaking was adjusted.
Video on YouTube is said to be the reason for its return
This video is meant: In a YouTube video, SypherPK talked about the conditions in Fortnite. He criticizes the lack of skill-based matchmaking. The problem is that there are too many bots in a round when playing in team mode.
He found out that 60-90% of players in a round are bots. This is too many compared to real players.
However, this very video is causing players to think that he is responsible for the return of skill-based matchmaking in teams.
On Twitter, players started using the hashtag #FuckSypher. They claimed he ruined the game again, even though it was just starting to become fun again.
They wanted to start a trend to make it clear that he was responsible for this “mess.” Some players like pro Tfue already found their fun again attacking noobs. With the skill-based matchmaking, this was only hard to accomplish.
Twitch streamer defends against accusations
After this hashtag was used by players on Twitter, SypherPK spoke out. He posted a video explaining what he actually intended.
He was only bothered by the fact that there are now so many bots in a round. This is not the Fortnite we had before the introduction of skill-based matchmaking.
His recommendation was simply to have fewer bots in a round and let more real players fight each other.
After all, he himself is strongly against SBMM and wanted it removed from the game. He also wanted the game to become more relaxed and fun again.
He made a YouTube video discussing what changes should be made to the game. This video reached 4 million views on YouTube, and after that, changes in Fortnite began. The skill-based matchmaking was also among the things that Fortnite, according to Ninja, needs to change to improve the game.
