SBMM was problematic at the start of Chapter 2 Season 1 and had flaws from the start. In order to avoid dissatisfaction, skill-based matching came into the picture as an improvement mechanism, pitting players with similar abilities against one other. In fact, it had the opposite effect. The alternative approach annoyed most Fortnite players, which made it more difficult to find matches, to where it seemed like a genuine competitive mode.

Unfortunately, there is no way to turn off SBMM in Fortnite. Fortnite considers the player’s win percentage and KD in order to determine skill-based opponents in the game. Users in Reddit are highly anticipatory for an immediate fix to this algorithm as Season 8 approaches.
