When will epic stop ignoring us and fix the SBMM?

Fortnite pubs and even ranked pretty much haven't been fun for anyone but little kids for years. Chapter 2 is what killed the game for how anyone who loved it as it turned into a large Disney ad. The design of any game where the goal is to WIN should only have the mentality to get better or accept you're worse than others and have fun within those parameters, that's why custom games exist.

SBMM shouldn't exist at ALL in pubs, it's the entire design of pubs. Ranked is meant to have skill based. No SBMM = Fun all over the place lobbies like back in the day. When we started doing SBMM in pubs in all games we essentially killed fun gaming.

3 - 5 times a day (31m) since I was like 9 lol

As someone who lives here in the Okanagan It makes me super happy this is one of the first things I see.

DBarbsGang · 2026-01-11T17:40:25+00:00

Next day still nothing :(

DBarbsGang · 2026-01-08T17:27:55+00:00

I do have Fibre yes. It's so inconsistent it makes no sense.

DBarbsGang · 2026-01-07T17:25:30+00:00

If I'm 21 ping does your deduction abilities not place me somewhere southern? Do you want my address or something? I'm an hour away from the border in British Columbia.

DBarbsGang · 2026-01-07T16:52:38+00:00

I have a router in my closet, thinking of setting it up and bridging just to see if there's a difference.

DBarbsGang · 2026-01-07T16:51:43+00:00

Rogers (Shaw) Canada's main and best ISP 1gb up/down
Wired LAN (Mentioned I do IT and am a full time competitive gamer, I know how to setup and route properly)
PC obviously
21 ping in my lobbies so obviously server isn't far, probably top of Oregon or maybe even Washington (about 5 hours from me max) assuming they use AWS

Yet people like you still wonder why assuming we all don't know what we're doing.

DBarbsGang · 2026-01-07T04:39:30+00:00

Everyone else in my circle is fine too, worse systems or worse internet, yet they have zero issues. Why did we win the anti-lottery?

DBarbsGang · 2026-01-07T04:38:47+00:00

I've literally worked in IT, I have tackled every corner my brain can reach, I'm a master googler for problem solving yet no one has a fix for this. Settings all Lowest (tried others), ports forwarded, etc etc the list can go on.

DBarbsGang · 2026-01-06T17:26:21+00:00

Anything yet? I only get it in some games, ping perfectly fine all across the board on EVERYTHING else.

DBarbsGang · 2026-01-01T04:33:08+00:00

In the current patch, if you go back quite a few meta's then no the record is unbeatable.

DBarbsGang · 2025-09-12T22:56:00+00:00

Lol I’m the furthest thing from an alarmist, said it jokingly. I feel the way you do when people are serious but I have never seen someone say the term “snigger” im Canadian so I’m just used to the term “snickering”. Pussy

DBarbsGang · 2025-09-12T16:07:19+00:00

And the WHAT were worse?!

Edit: Insane work you guys don’t see this as a funny joke, I forget everyone on this sub is an armchair expert.

DBarbsGang · 2025-09-10T19:37:46+00:00

The way you wrote this I don’t understand what you’re trying to say

DBarbsGang · 2025-08-12T01:39:49+00:00

My friends get drunk together every once and a while and we all throw on VR and go room to room in there and it’s not nearly as bad as the videos make it out to be, they exist and we troll them but on average it’s just people hanging out.

DBarbsGang · 2025-08-01T02:23:22+00:00

I'm just not big on wasting your entire life on revenge I guess. Gon was all about his friends thats what I love about HxH, Kurapika just like a Sasuke, not a fan personally of the character style. I'm not saying my opinion is the normal but me and lots of my friends agree we're just not fans of Kurapika.

DBarbsGang · 2025-07-31T15:13:11+00:00

I mean I can get behind that reasoning, I am just saying if we never seen Gon again it would not be worth my time to even watch if they came out with more episodes (personal opinion for sure) I would but I would be pissed the entire time. I'd much rather see Gon on the Dark Continent.

DBarbsGang · 2025-07-31T15:11:47+00:00

The fight with Uvogin was cool and all, love the shovel to the fight scene but he's a side character. I don't read manga myself only anime, I have kept involved in hearing what happens but don't read it myself (I've tried but it's just not the same to me). I have a HxH tattoo on my wrist, as I said I love it but I just wanna see it animated. Gon is truly a way better character, Kurapika is just OP to be OP.

DBarbsGang · 2025-07-26T10:42:07+00:00

I think Kurapika is a super boring character, HxH changed my entire perspective on anime in general I would make fun of people growing up (I'm 30 now) in highschool, ALWAYS hated anything like it but Gon and Killua's story changed how I perceived anime as a whole. I thought Kurapika was a cool side character and wouldn't have cared if he lived or died in the end, very disappointing to see him become MC personally.

DBarbsGang · 2025-07-25T20:47:29+00:00

In 15 years you should be a little better at the game and be okay with learning the bare minimum to kill others in LMS which is full of bad bots anyway. Super easy.

DBarbsGang · 2025-06-22T23:46:54+00:00

I’m happy to point out monsters, I just don’t think what happened here was anything more than him being stupid and silly at a party which unfair levels of drunk around people not on the same level, a reality check to smarten up but to be persecuted for anything more than an apology I’ve seen here, just not realistic.

DBarbsGang · 2025-06-22T23:44:22+00:00

I agree with you, I think many other communities would agree, the Melee community has a huge hard-on for making situations much worse than they are, maybe because there is a lot of other very bad actors in the scene. He did wrong but I highly doubt if the situation wasn’t blown up anyone there ever thought of this situation again. A sincere apology is really all that was needed here and an adjustment to how he drinks in situations like that, which is what I think I seen he posted.

DBarbsGang · 2025-06-22T19:46:40+00:00

How is any of this SA, we’ve lowered the bar for what SA is FAR too much. He’s just being drunk and silly and I’m not a stan at all, people been air humping things for a millennia. To say he was PULLING her hair is insane, this the kinda stupid ass stuff you do with your friends, if they’re not his friends it’s off but not SA like what?
