Skill-Based Matchmaking puts Console players with PC players (proof inside). This is unacceptable. (LONG POST)

This is my third and final attempt. I want Epic to make some sort of comment to why this was included.

Let me start by saying this; I am perfectly fine with SBMM being implemented because it allows a player with a certain skill level to be placed in a match with someone of a similar level. With me personally, it's come to a point where in pub matches i legit just let about 10% of players i come across live. Usually players i'll come across can't shoot or can't build. What's the point in me killing them? I want to progress my skill level. I don't want to shit on a casual player, it's not right.

However, within the recent update, PC players are matched with console players.

Why is this a problem?

Well, PC players have several advantages over console players. For example; better aiming, more fps, no input lag, ability to remove shadows etc. A console can not physically keep up with a PC. Only the best players are on PC and the best controller players are actually playing on a PC. A PC will always be superior to a console, and that is a fact.

How do you know PC players and Console players are put in the same matches?

For starters, these are my stats; https://fortnitetracker.com/profile/psn/louisvro

I know that to some degree SBMM does work. The players i have been killing/killed by all consistently have around 300+ wins, some being on PC and some being on console. I'm pretty sure this is the way it works because before the update, everyone would have fluctuating win counts. In addition, i have also killed/killed by plays with 1,000+ wins.

The reasons followed is proof that console and PC players are in the same lobby;

• Epic needs players with high amount of wins to reach the 100 player count, meaning they are including both platforms in the same lobbies.
• The platform icon was removed next to what region you are on (Top right corner of the lobby screen, under your vbucks)
• Long wait time to get into matches.
• Players having special characters in their name eg. " ツ ", " ⍰ " etc.
• Doing fill matches, you can be placed with players that have a world symbol instead of the normal PS/XBOX symbol.
  

For some reason it was not addressed in the matchmaking update blog. The whole reason that i do not play Arena is because i do not want to be paired with PC players. But now, it's essentially just Arena without Siphon which makes it even more difficult.

I hope to get a response from Epic since i think it is pretty shady they would not disclose this.

"If i wanted to play with PC players, i'd play Arena. But right now, public games are just Arena without Siphon, which is shit" - Me, who is desperately trying to find reasons to continue playing the game.
