“What the fuck are these games, bro?” Tfue said. “Skill-based matchmaking is fucking beat. Like, who the fuck wants to play this dogshit? These kids are literally hiding, like, it’s like what the fuck am I even playing?”<\/p>
Tfue and many other Fortnite<\/em> players have sounded off against skill-based matchmaking in the Solo playlist specifically, where seemingly more players are treating it like a sweaty competitive match or the Arena playlist.<\/p>
“There’s no reason to even play regular Solos anymore,” Tfue said as he queued up for Arena instead. “These kids are legit hiding.”<\/p>
Fortnite<\/em> has become an epicenter for players who want to become the next Tfue, a top-earning gamer who competes at the highest level and makes a lot of money. So it should come as no surprise that the game is more competitive than ever.<\/p>
But is Tfue right? Has the Solo playlist become ruined by skill-based matchmaking or is his view as a content creator skewed because he can’t just stomp casual opponents with ease as much anymore?<\/p>
One thing is for sure, though: Tfue will most likely continue playing Fortnite<\/em> and creating content around the game regardless of matchmaking.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
