Epic Games has finally given in to fan demand by removing skill based matchmaking from Fortnite Battle Royale squads. A feature added in Chapter 2, SBMM had disgruntled countless fans as it pulled the game away from the fun goofy title to a more competitive one. Many complained of not having fun anymore, and the debate grew ever louder.
Fortnite has had a hot and cold few months this year. The discontent among fans grew over issues like aim-assist for controllers, stream-sniping, and the devs favoring competition over entertainment. On the other hand, Fortnite also hosted a slew of virtual events during the global lockdown to great acclaim. Travis Scott’s virtual concert, Astronomical was lauded by most as an epic success.
Yes sir, next season about to be 💯

In squads. It is magnificent.
Can be tweaked a tiny tiny bit to protect the true “bots” aka 7 year olds but man…it’s so fun not having to build like a mad man every second of every moment for 1 point of damage

Ninja is one of the most vocal streamers out there. He has been quite critical of Fortnite in the recent past, but his focus was more on aim-assist for controllers. A name more synonymous with Fortnite than any other, Ninja was bound to react to this news as well.

With no SBMM in the four-player squads’ mode, players can once again enjoy the Battle Royale. Fans can enjoy the game in a more relaxed manner once again. It is exactly why Fortnite became so popular in the first place.

Keep watching this space to see if Epic Games do the same for Solos or Duos modes. The devs have not given out an official statement on the change yet.
Every coin has two sides, though. Do you agree with Epic’s recent move?
