@EpicTofuChris Just wish they either always drop it or always spawn at the same place. I understand the random chance to switch it up but having both means you can run into a boss and still just come out with a legendary item worse off than before.

♥ 41

@EpicTofuChris Theming? 10/10, content drops? probably 8/10 Actual gameplay..? 3/10 for me, I have a loooooot of complaints, really was not a fun season imo to actually play

♥ 35

@EpicTofuChris Very good season, gotta be honest, it was hard to like at the start cause there wasn’t a lot of new stuff but around act II-III it got really good, insane work

♥ 29

@EpicTofuChris I’m like level 450, highest level I’ve been for a season 😭… Extremely grateful for the new lexa 🥹❤️, that’s the most beautiful and precious gift ever… 🥹❤️

♥ 24

@EpicTofuChris and the better team won in all these acts 🥳

♥ 23

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds there's an incredibly long story there. a short summary. the old system was favorable to mixed-skilled lobbies. but it actually let the higher elo member dominate, so MM was actually quite unfair for the opponents, and felt volatile it's more even now, but disadvantages casuals

♥ 23

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds this topic actually is really important to me, too, since my friend group is pretty mixed-skill i hope this transparency helps. it's a tough topic to explain, and we can't reveal everything. but there's a commitment for us to keep working here and hearing out all player stories!

♥ 22

@KiriBuilds appreciate the thoughts on casuals -- mixed skill matchmaking? rivalries? mobility? zero build? all of the above?

♥ 22

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds and we fully acknowledge it makes it harder for noobs and couch co-op type moments b/w family, friends of various skill. we tuned it down a bit, i.e. introduced a bit more unfairness into the system, a few weeks into the change

♥ 21

@FN_Assist sharing this feedback with @Dreckerr! (or track him down at FNCS heh)

♥ 19

@EpicTofuChris I can appreciate the insane amount of effort that went into it (like, seriously, incredible job to the whole team!), but there are things about it that left a bad taste in my mouth - particularly it being a rough BR season for casuals & two BP skins having jiggle physics.

♥ 16

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds previously, the "wide disparity" mixed skill party didn't just take midpoint elo, it actually indexed toward the LOWER elo member, so they wouldn't get trounced on each game

♥ 16

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds but, that lower index was necessary to keep that lower elo party member alive. that sounds good...except the higher elo party member dominated the lobby that's why when you're the 'minnow' in this shark lobby (you're always a shark, OR a minnow), MM felt unpredictible

♥ 15

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds the latest system tunes down that volatility and is the closest to "fair" as possible (mixed-elo parties have an equal chance to win as a perfectly-even party), in terms of WIN RATE, which is the highest determinant of how players perceive sweatiness in aggregate (imo)

♥ 14

@mahdy358 oathbound lexa and arenas! almost forgot

♥ 13

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds so on the whole, we see fewer "uneven lobbies" (via in-game survey sentiment AND hard data) -- but on the flip side it, without a doubt, is more penalizing to the player experience if you're a lower elo party member in a long-running group of friends

♥ 13

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds OK LAST 2 POSTS. TLDR, we 1000% hear the feedback, and have been tinkering. keep the feedback coming, never stop. i'm not happy with where it's at either, but am looking for the "game theory optimal", perfectly min-maxed sweet spot, as we look more creatively at MM solutions

♥ 12

@EpicTofuChris @KiriBuilds Really happy to see yall are aware of the skill based matchmaking right now. It’s really bad for solos and in general depending on your skill level.

♥ 12

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds i mentioned this predicament on the stream with TG. it's not that we WANT to intentionally hurt anyone's experience, it's that it's almost impossible to achieve a sense of fairness given how open Fortnite MM is across platforms (mobile, switch, M&K vs. controller)

♥ 12

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds getting sharks in your lobby was what made the game special for me in Ch1 Trying your best to get a victory and failing because others are better made me want to get better and try again (i used to camp all game 😅) for me, this is what made a victory royale special.

♥ 11

@EpicTofuChris probably my top 3 favorite seasons of all time if i had to be honest.. https://t.co/tw6SbaJ8di

♥ 11

@EpicTofuChris This entire season has been a genuine blast the battle pass I'd give a solid 9.4/10. Only thing I didn't enjoy was how rival credits persisted into other games it gave people too much chance to get god tier weapons right away other than that SOLID season #teamiceking

♥ 11

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds we could revert back exactly to where it was, but I would predict we'd see more "why is matchmaking so uneven" and "why are there so many sharks in the lobby" it was actually in a pretty rough state during C6S4, where we had the widest elo differences in lobbies EVER

♥ 11

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds in a battle royale, I probably can't understate how bad 1 shark in a lobby makes it for the others. 1 shark can easily wipe 20-30% of the lobby. 2 sharks, around 50% (raw elims) shark being someone a few standard deviations above the median elo

♥ 10

@EpicTofuChris 🫶 https://t.co/NUwHMGMRx4

♥ 10

@EpicTofuChris You forgot something very awesome in Act 1 https://t.co/e5NsvAHPmO

♥ 10

@AllyJax2 @EpicTofuChris I have this feeling of like... damn, these are cool ideas, I should've liked this season so much!! ...but then it's just not fun to play at all

♥ 10

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds and basically, as the VICTIM, you'll get a shark in YOUR lobby every 3-5 matches if we pair even-elo parties with mixed-elo parties... i.e., it will always happen not to say this system is net-net better. players are less likely to be SHARKS now, meaning they get fewer 20-bombs

♥ 10

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds then lastly -- to your first question! we could revert mixed skill parties, or index back towards the lower elo player, just a liiiiitle bit more (as was done slightly) or at least allow this every so often! but it still means someone ELSE loses (now, the victim/even party)

♥ 9

@gatosguzzz @EpicTofuChris this... very much this balancing is.. balanced, but in a way where everythings overtuned, matchmaking has 70+ bots every game... match pacing is the worst it's been in a looooooong while... it's just not actually fun to play, despite so many fun ideas

♥ 9

@EpicTofuChris @Dreckerr Spoke to him briefly, but we've left!

♥ 9

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds back in ch1 my skilled friends used to flex their amount of wins now it doesn't even matter you can get 999 wins vs bots it isn't special anymore

♥ 9

@EpicTofuChris @KiriBuilds I appreciate it a lot, Chris. My main issue was always that it felt like the matchmaking changed significantly and nobody within Fortnite ever acknowledged the complaints people had about it. A lot of people are probably happy to hear you talk about this.

♥ 8

@Dreckerr @EpicTofuChris Haha no worries! Plus you were locked in, especially for Game 8 😭 But yes, bosses spawn randomization/weapon chance would be my biggest (and one of very few) negatives about this season! Y'all smashed it

♥ 7

@EpicTofuChris Speaking of April fools, what did you think of this? https://t.co/1I6SHc78he

♥ 7

@EpicTofuChris in terms of the BP it is quite obvious that mercy was in it and she not been in anymore made feel bugs bunny super lackluster, no wrap, glider or even edit styles that fit such a legend in animation. Kinda sad the looney tunes got such a souless treatment ngl

♥ 6

@EpicTofuChris There was basically no lore until the events and maybe a few story quests 😭

♥ 6

- The rivalry system was super fun and gave me an extra reason to play longer sessions than I usually do! Loved the satisfaction of the extra UI animations when I hunt down and eliminate a player. - April fools update was such a refresher. I played when the first ever April Fools update was launched back in Ch1, and it felt very familiar. - The customs admin tool is awesome, but I would love much more freedom in terms of options. Playing Halo reach customs with my cousin when we were 12/13 years old and changing all the game settings, spawning in bots, weapons, and vehicles was so fun, and I would love Fortnite to have that! - Act 3 was great in terms of cosmetics and events. Although, I would love to see Community Day as a more thought out event. The first ever was AWESOME, but it felt like it came on suddenly. I would love for the next one (if there will be another...) to be planned out over a period of time, and include more communnity aspects such as adding fan-made skins, and maybe even having fan-made loading screens made by people like me implemented into the game! Showdown is 100% a top 5 season for me, and i'm sure it is for most people. Every team went so hard (as they usually do) and it was such a pleasure to experience it! Love, love, love this season. Can't wait for 3!

♥ 6

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds don't get me wrong, i don't LOVE the answer - none of us do. in the change, someone is net-net the loser (less times you're on a roll, or if ur the low-skill player in a mixed skill group) it's more of the stark reality of matchmaking changes being "net zero"

♥ 6

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds there are 'creative' solutions, like if we notice if you're sticking with the same friends day-over-day, but even the latter has the same ultimate drawbacks as the above (re: victims)

♥ 6

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds oh, one thing! lower elo players play less (on aggregate) than higher elo players, right? so they won't tolerate many losing games before they put down the controller. the MM must be in their favor within 1-2 games, not 3-5 games, making the mixed-skill party problem even harder

♥ 6

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds that said, i CAN promise that we're going to keep experimenting, forever. win rate is one thing, long-term retention of new / lower-skilled/ casual players is another, and that's just as important in the long run as "perfectly fair" matches

♥ 6

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds so whats the solution what are we doing now?? right now i just cant play with my bad friends and they dont wanna play with me cause they get demolished in my lobby!

♥ 5

@EpicTofuChris I must say this season has been the best at integrating the lore into the gameplay, the acts and the rivalry systems have really made the lore feel alive even without there really being that much extensive dialogue throughout the season. I think that’s where the lore is best.

♥ 5

@EpicTofuChris the story quests could've been a lil better imo, the gameplay was so fun I reached one of my highest levels the event advertisement has problems, we were forced to pick a team only knowing that it would grant an edit style, we should be allowed to pick it again before the event

♥ 5

@EpicTofuChris Bosses should be changed back as how they were before. They got multiple spawn and Mythic isn't even guaranteed. They don't even have medallions anymore. They're globally not worth fighting anymore.

♥ 5

@EpicTofuChris I really didn't like how they spawned randomly AND didn't always give you their mythic. You should at least be guaranteed their mythic, and if the random spawns must stay they should at least be marked on the map.

♥ 5

@EpicTofuChris I’d say probably all of the above - the mobility was a bit insane, and a complaint I heard a lot was that it was just hard to keep up, especially on controller. Rivalries definitely made it worse, it forfeited the ability to play safe, should’ve been in ranked instead imo

♥ 5

@KiriBuilds @EpicTofuChris VERY MUCH THIS regarding mobility, it's so so so hard to keep up on controller because of how fast people are constantly moving with things like the overdrive status effect and such, imo the item almost has managed to feel more annoying than actual shockwaves :/

♥ 5

@IDrDoom rival credit persistence was discussed a bunch, given the changes to gold bars. thanks for the feedback!

♥ 5

@FN_Assist @EpicTofuChris Always send more! Apologies, between games and having to run between 4 different rooms on 3 floors I was not slowing down 😭

♥ 5

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds which means, they could be unhappier, too, in the long run! so you're basically weighting the EV (expected value) of shark-ness vs. minnow-ness players want to net out as 'shark' more often (i.e., a >50.01% win rate if BRs were binary outcome)

♥ 5

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds and above all else, supporting both Build AND Zero Build, and solos, duos, trios, squads...so 8x combinations, then Ranked, and other game modes

♥ 5

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds there's a gameplay design adage that "100% balanced" isn't fun, and i agree. that's true with matchmaking, too; it can be fun to be the shark, at the cost of being a minnow sometimes

♥ 5

@EpicTofuChris Needs the resize bug back, then it's perfect. https://t.co/FVi5S8qLPt

♥ 5

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds It's not only in duos and squads. I'm just average and in solo unranked lobbies I'm with unreal ranked players which doesn't make sense either! Lobbies are extremely sweaty and very unplayable, most of the time.

@EpicTofuChris Best chapter for the lore 🙏🏻

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds net zero being a triangle of... - different platforms - matchmaking times << players very sensitive - ping << BUILD/high skill very sensitive - wide skill party player UX (this topic) - lobby elo max delta (top shark vs. lowest minnow), interquartile range (p75 vs. p25)

♥ 4

@EpicTofuChris I'm gonna be 100% honest, this season was great, but the story was really lacking. It was hype at the beginning and the end. But there was barely any content in between. Foundation received 0 lines which is probably the biggest disappointment.

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris Bring back shoulder riding + llama riding for the end of the season pls, even if the glitch isn't patched 🥹🥹

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris You guys delivered one of the best seasons i’ve ever played, and i’ve been here since C1S4. The updates were PHENOMENAL and every time you felt like the game was going to get a little stale, you guys just release so much content for us to enjoy. I love this season so much. 10/10!

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris One of my favourite seasons ever! I also think story’s get more interesting when you keep the same villain throughout multiple seasons. Like the main season themes have been different but the goals are the same and that’s special

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris - Act 1 rivarly system felt so good it encouraged me to fight for reward allot more april fools and shoulder riding fun af!!!

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris Didn’t think I’d care for the lore much but after catching up with the old stuff and seeing Chapter 7 it’s definitely my favorite part of the game atm.

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris S3 should have this guy and i am totally stoked!!! ive been waiting about 3+ years for him and i just really want him badly could you atleast give me some sort of confirmation it would mean the world to me https://t.co/NPdLMdwx0J

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris and there are other people agreeing with me and how this could ruin players' experience of the live event, I know it's unlikely, but even acknowledging this advertisement problem is good news, hopefully something can be done about it? https://t.co/STAjXPiPf7

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris With that and some other stuff in mind: Effort: 9/10 Playability: 3.5/10 Uniqueness: 6/10 Lore: 5/10 (wasn’t particularly interesting to me) Pass: 4/10 (didn’t stand out to me) Overall, probably a C+ season for me! But I am really excited for the event & season 3!

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris Very fun season.. I give it a 9/10 https://t.co/s5JTvu0QHA

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris I’d give it a solid 8/10, I adore the season and almost every single addition, battle pass is really good, collabs incredible too. Only thing keeping it from being top tier was the final bit of Zero Build changes. I enjoy the changes, but atm ZB is everyone running away 😔 https://t.co/sDIzpfLhvs

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris The zero build changes were very much welcome, but it kinda made the mobility meta worse honestly LOL Free extra infinite mobility (should be cover items only in pocket items slot imo), no fall damage consequences, etc.

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris Solid 8/10 Season for me personally And I'm honest and harsh with ratings

♥ 3

Hands down I think this season might just be my favorite ever. The memories I’ve made this season have just been the best. Especially with Overwatch, Dev lobbies and Community Day, those three will always be S Tier moments for Fortnite in my eyes 🙌 Seriously cannot THANK YOU enough for hearing the small idea I had and somehow turning it into one of the greatest days ever for Fortnite 🥹🧡

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris I did liked the season itself quite a bit, the OW act was good too and i hope rivalries stay for good.

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds I'm curious how something like OG expert mode affected this. That had no sbmm at all and felt strangely way more fair to me than regular BR

♥ 3

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds so what could we do? a lot of things, but again, it's a "zero sum", "net zero" solution turn off playlists at certain hours remove options like BR trios, and merge into squads (likely many players upset)

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris Genuinely 10/10 season can’t wait for s3 to be even better 🥹🙂‍↕️

@EpicTofuChris I loved every moment of it! I would easily place this in my Top 5 personal favorites!! CANT WAIT UNTIL SEASON 3

@EpicTofuChris Act 1: Ice King Wins Act 2: Ice King Wins Act 3: Ice King Wins

@rainbearkee @EpicTofuChris @KiriBuilds Yeah I haven't picked up my switch since December and just keep checking if SBMm has been reverted and sadly i don't think it ever will be. I miss chapter 6 sooo bad. I could play the game and had a chance of winning

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds The med skill player has played maybe 10 times since December and the low skilled one maybe twice. When we do play I'm doing my best to help us survive, I can maybe kill one player on the other team, but my friend just gets destroyed and feels like they're not contributing.

♥ 3

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds Basically it's not fun for any of us now. We would routinely win a game or 2 in a session. Now we can't even hold a convo during play since it's so intense and we never win. Its not fun and it split our group up, but we are all itching to come back to Fortnite, if they fixed this

@EpicTofuChris Geniully generational season i have no idea how s3 or s4 will top this😭

♥ 2

@EpicTofuChris Would’ve been better with a good matchmaking system but there’s always time to improve it for next season!

♥ 2

Anchoring the 2 most recent BPs with fan favs from the past (Dark Voyager and Ice King) was a great decision. Sends a bit of a mixed message about how OG Mode is doing though. Either way, hopefully the trend continues. And honesty, hopefully this was done to make their actual classic BP versions return that much more impactful.

♥ 2

@EpicTofuChris Top 5 season genuinely. If I may provide one thing thats keeping it from top 3, too much mobility imo. Thats my biggest critque. Maybe replace the shockwave pocket item with an overdrive? Otherwise yall delivered one of my FAVORITE seasons. I'm super excited for the next one 🙌

♥ 2

@EpicTofuChris Especially liked those, was fun to have the new content spread out relatively evenly, other seasons felt kinda stale near the end but this one felt fresh all the way through

♥ 2

@gatosguzzz @AllyJax2 @EpicTofuChris Same like the theme of this season was so cool but gameplay wise it just didn't do it for me. Was really missing themed LTMs like Spygames in c2s2 https://t.co/Dg9ExBM6cA

♥ 2

@realNumberSets @EpicTofuChris The BR season overall was missing LTMs to really elevate it to ch1-2 quality. Like imagine if we had Payload LTM for Overwatch, Knockout: Shuffle with all the new items, Sword Fight with the new blade, and Food Fight but ice king vs foundation

♥ 2

@EpicTofuChris It was a great season. I’ll be posting my review of it in the coming days ! Congratulations to all the teams who worked on it in my opinion it’s one of the best seasons the game has ever had.

♥ 2

Really nice season! the zero build update was really cool but I feel like there is too much going on. Too much dopamine and easy stuff. Wish it was a bit more simple and pure, like ch1. but the effort you guys put into it was really noticeable, at least for me this is the first season that catches my attention since ch5 S1

♥ 2

@EpicTofuChris @KiriBuilds I’ve experienced both the good and the bad of the current system, and both sides are blatant. Way more enjoyable with a team of players at your skill level, because you far more often match against other players at your skill level-

@EpicTofuChris ZB change was fire, changed so much to make it so much better, im excited for ZB comp next season.

♥ 2

@EpicTofuChris Chris please acknowledge Aphrodite, can you push for a new, armored style closed to concept art 💔

♥ 2

@EpicTofuChris @KiriBuilds I find that “sharking” bots can be fun and so I’ve always been in favor of accessible bot lobbies. Not everyone thinks this way, I’d say most find bots boring, but the option would be nice for quests, exploration, or hell taking a break when matchmaking isn’t in your favor.

♥ 2

@EpicTofuChris @KiriBuilds I feel like it’s easy to miss a lot of content, especially story content, when it’s hard to enjoy it because everyone in your lobby is dead set of killing you at all costs. It’s also hard to learn and experiment when you get absolutely mopped when you aren’t playing the “meta”.

♥ 2

@EpicTofuChris The lore this season was genuinely bare minimum it could’ve been better

♥ 2

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds THANK YOU for the feedback. We've been asking for this since December as you know. I appreciate that you guys understand the missed skill party issue. I have a couple friends that play (or did play) that are low and medium skill.

♥ 2

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds Omg. The first and only response I’ve seen about SBMM. Thank you for the transparency and doing your best to make the experience enjoyable for everyone. I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it is to manage

@Akashiya_Gaming @EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee agreed, solo lobbies are extremely unfun to play now, people are way above the skill level i can enjoy playing at without killing my wrists

@Stormedxd u have time stormed ur already multitasking ranked

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee I almost wonder if it’s worth testing a mode with VERY weak SBMM and seeing how it goes, the randomness is almost preferred to knowing if the game put you in higher SBMM level lobbies than you are, you’re just gonna get destroyed every game

♥ 1

@EpicTofuChris @KiriBuilds lol C6S4 I was stomping people on the aforementioned Switch 2 lobbies I ended up in. It was fun as hell because I could get creative with loot combos that wouldn’t normally work in competitive, but again obviously unfair.

♥ 1

@EpicTofuChris Another thing I loved was fishing being back in its pre-C5 glory, with a "fish pool" rivalling that of mid-C2 (only missing the Stink Fish)! The one thing I still miss dearly is the Fishing Collection book, it was fun to try and find all the different variants for each fish.

♥ 1

@EpicTofuChris Maybe with all the Sprites showing next season we could have a Sprite Collection Book, perhaps wink wink nudge nudge???

♥ 1

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds I feel like Fortnite also needs a plan (other than collabs to get new players in and most importantly, To keep them! I personally joined for Lego as did many others, they need an incentive to broaden their horizons if you get me.

@EpicTofuChris amazing, ty for bringing my most wanted collab to the game HOWEVER I would love to finish my collection, and these are still unreleased https://t.co/rnZpVybB0i

@KiriBuilds @Akashiya_Gaming @EpicTofuChris It's mainly solo lobbies that I have an issue with. I've started to enjoy playing squad fills as a solo a lot more than solo lobbies, especially in Reload where you often get to be the fill of a good trio.

@rainbearkee @KiriBuilds @Akashiya_Gaming @EpicTofuChris The solution is to revert the SBMM change of December 9th; people would play the game more.

@EpicTofuChris I was thinking of an idea for the shop when I saw the “For You” section, since it currently only pulls cosmetics that are already in the store, how about modifying it so that each player has a different section of random items drawn from a large pool of items approved by you?

@EpicTofuChris It could be a feature that runs the first time a player enters the store each day and ignores items already in the store, allowing them to get a random outfit, random emotes, gliders, etc.

@EpicTofuChris I absolutely loved this season, I played it so much it's actually unhealthy. I usually slow down after reaching level 200 because there's not much of a point after that, but I've managed to get to 473 with a goal of 500. the rivalries were for sure such a good addition, very fun

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds But honestly, expert mode on OG felt perfect, it didn’t feel unfair at all and felt like a proper BR. The issue a lot of people are having is that a lot of us want to play a battle royale against 99 other real players. I understand that the data doesnt support this but-

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds Why is this the only piece of info Ive seen on SBMM and it was only released by one dev hidden away on twitter! The community deserves to know how this works. Lobbies are just way too good the people I'm being put against have INSANE game sense and knowledge

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds If it “disadvantages casuals” then what’s the point? Revert it.

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds It’s all well and good “looking into it” but neither me or any of my friends have been able to play since December 2025. It’s miserable loading the game anymore. I get back from work and have to deal with ppl whose whole sad existence revolves around winning a game. Fix it.

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds Can’t play with mixed skilled friends, and they don’t want to play with me anymore because I make their lobbies too difficult. It’s been 6 months and my friends list has gone offline for a while now. Nobody wants the change you made to SBMM. Fix it or your numbers will drop more.

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds I’m sure all the “ooh thanks Chris for your transparency” comments are giving you some justification to the terrible changes you made, but the fact is that I’ve spent hundreds on this game and I’m being pushed out and basically told not to play with ppl of a low skill cos of this

@EpicTofuChris @rainbearkee @KiriBuilds I haven’t had a single friend online for ages, and the player count is dropping. The highest battle royale (and zero build) reached on day one of C7 S3 was 700K combined. That’s terrible when compared to Chapter 6 numbers. Fix the SBMM
