In Fortnite: Battle Royale, several factors come into play regarding the chances of winning. But what about fairness when we look at matchmaking and crossplay? Let us know your opinion on how fair you really find Fortnite.
Here’s what it’s about: The chances of winning in Fortnite can be influenced by various things in a match – whether it’s the chosen landing spot, the location of the deadly storm zone, or the loot you encounter. However, matchmaking can already determine what opponents you will face before the match.
Matchmaking with skill-based searching and mixed platforms can be just right for some and may not be liked at all by others. A letter from MeinMMO user Rybar has drawn our attention to the topic of “fairness in Fortnite”, and therefore we now want to know from you: How fair do you find the current matchmaking in the game?
Matchmaking and Crossplay in Fortnite
This is skill-based matchmaking: In Fortnite, skill-based matchmaking was introduced in Season 10. This system ensures that players with similar skills are matched up in a round. Players are therefore more likely to encounter opponents of equal strength. The better you become, the stronger your opponents will be.
There have been recurring doubts about whether matchmaking has been removed, but Epic has never confirmed this – it should still be active. The system works by observing players’ performance in a match (for example, a victory) and then ranking them. This way, opponents of the same strength are found.
This is how crossplay works: In matchmaking, not only are opponents with similar skills chosen on your platform. Fortnite mixes all platforms and lets you compete against each other. So PS4 players play against PC players or even mobile users. Here too, it is checked whether your opponents are equally strong.
How can I vote? In the survey tool below, you can choose how fair you find the matchmaking. Please note that the voting is final. You cannot change your choice once it has been submitted.
So tell us: What do you think about matchmaking? Do you think it’s good as it is, or is it unfair? Which aspects do you particularly like and which ones not at all? Or do you not care about matchmaking at all?
The survey ends on February 28.
Have fun voting and share your further opinions on matchmaking with us in the comments!
