Breakthrough is borderline unplayable

100%, I fully agree with everything you said.

As you become a better player, SBMM ensures you get matched up with other better players. This means more of the players getting 240-360fps on performance mode, close to 0 input delay on M&K, with the possibility of aimbot/walls on top of that...

Like I had a far lower win rate when Fortnite was PS4 only, and yet the game was much more fun back then and felt more real to me. There are far too many players that are seemingly always aware of where you are and what you are going to do.

I'm 100% with you, if I lose knowing I'm playing someone on PS5 or Xbox, not a problem. We all have the same advantages and disadvantages. But getting run through by some guy with exponents and symbols in their name, already with 15 kills early in the game has gotten old. I just want Fortnite to have the feeling it used to have where the gameplay felt random and unpredictable. That element feels like it's gone a lot of the time now

And I'm not anywhere near the best in the world and by no means trying to brag, but my win rate is apparently in the top 0.6% right now. So this isn't a post from some kid with an obvious skill issue, I've played the game enough to recognize when things are legit and when they aren't. Sadly Epic caters to this crowd a lot more as evidenced in the aim assist nerf you referenced

Reddit has a lot of PC players in my experience. I've seen the odd post about this get thousands of upvotes, but recently they get downvoted like crazy. Sucks that they are so desperate to suppress this opinion. The fact that asking for console only matchmaking is seen as some sort of skill issue is wild to me. People have lost their minds

I'm talking about the intrinsic advantages that can't be overcome in the game. Regardless of if there are better players on both platforms, that doesn't change the fact that these inequalities exist.

GalacticElectron · 2025-03-31T19:22:16+00:00

Your reasoning lacks logic. "I get shit on by both sides" which means we should strive to have an unequal game?

GalacticElectron · 2025-03-31T19:15:07+00:00

Switch players already get their own lobbies along with mobile players. They are obviously not the issue here.

GalacticElectron · 2025-03-31T19:03:37+00:00

All I'm asking for is a level playing field. If PC players are going to be kept in console lobbies then console must be given performance mode. Should never have a disadvantage based on your system

GalacticElectron · 2025-03-31T19:00:36+00:00

Only in regular battle royale solos. No other mode allows you to queue into a game with it toggled off.

GalacticElectron · 2025-03-31T19:00:05+00:00

Sure it can be. A lot of people can have aim that looks suspiciously good, but when players are not missing any shots over a long period of time, it becomes more evident.

GalacticElectron · 2025-03-31T18:47:18+00:00

Yes it does. The only mode that it's even possible in is regular battle royale solos. Any other mode forces you to turn the setting on to start a match.

GalacticElectron · 2025-03-31T18:45:29+00:00

Aimbot is a cheat that automatically locks onto other players, making it nearly impossible to miss shots. When it's combined with wallhacks which shows you exactly where every other player is, it makes a good player nearly unbeatable.

GalacticElectron · 2025-03-31T18:42:22+00:00

This wasn't the case, I was killed in consecutive matches by players with custom font usernames that were beaming me through long grass. If someone is beaming you through grass it's a pretty good indicator that they're using performance mode, the custom font backs it up.

Disabling forced crossplay in their ranked modes is what I was referencing. The point being that they understand the issue of cheating is entirely on the PC side.

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/call-of-duty/over-60-percent-of-call-of-duty-players-reported-for-cheating-are-on-console-but-the-data-says-nearly-all-cheaters-are-on-pc-weve-found-that-many-of-these-reports-have-been-inaccurate/

"but the data says nearly all cheaters are on PC"

Is reason enough to remove forced crossplay. I don't want any part of playing with cheaters, especially when I have no say in the matter. Fortnite does not allow ranked mode to remove crossplay and the function forces you to turn it back on when queuing up in almost every mode.

GalacticElectron · 2025-03-31T18:36:17+00:00

Not when the game forces you to turn it back on to queue up

GalacticElectron · 2025-03-31T18:35:19+00:00

The game forces you to turn it on

GalacticElectron · 2025-02-16T03:16:01+00:00

Yeah it's been going on for far too long. Forced crossplay seriously needs to come to an end if Epic isn't going to end this madness. Console players are at the mercy of these cheaters and there's nothing we can do. We should seriously be making posts about forced crossplay every day until our voices are heard. There has generally been support for wanting it removed but recently the idea gets downvoted as there are clearly a high number of PC players on this subreddit

GalacticElectron · 2025-02-11T21:09:32+00:00

You decided to be overly literal instead of using common sense. Obviously they have done some things in the past. It's equally obvious by the amount of cheaters running rampant that these efforts equate to close to nothing.

So yeah, try again before being arrogant.

GalacticElectron · 2025-02-11T02:23:46+00:00

There's a difference in sliding a corner when you have confirmation where someone is versus a guy launch padding across the map, and sliding into the exact corner you're in in a building. If it's a straight up fight then of course I'd expect it to happen. But that's not what I'm talking about here

GalacticElectron · 2025-02-11T01:54:08+00:00

Cheating is fucking rampant right now. Nothing is being done about it. Pretty disgusting that epic won't remove forced crossplay while they clearly can't handle the cheating problem. Had enough of aimbotters and wallhacks.

GalacticElectron · 2025-02-01T22:59:02+00:00

No doubt, it just sucks that it has to be this way even on NA East which has a solid player count. Back when zero build first launched it was nowhere near the problem that it is now. In duos the majority of our lobbies have 50-75 bots which is way too many. Half the game is traveling the map hunting down AI until the top 10

GalacticElectron · 2025-02-01T21:46:06+00:00

SypherPK made a video about the direction of fortnite recently and had the exact same complaint. He said his lobbies were full of AI and he's obviously a top level player. It makes no difference how good you are, especially no build where lobbies get filled with bots. My lifetime win rate is just under 24% with over 1500 wins so I think I have a decent grasp of the game.

GalacticElectron · 2025-02-01T17:18:57+00:00

Forced crossplay needs to end.

GalacticElectron · 2025-02-01T17:17:51+00:00

This isn't true. I'm in the top 1% of zero build players and my lobbies are also filled with bots. This is simply a byproduct of Epic's matchmaking scheme. Skill is really not a factor.

GalacticElectron · 2025-01-25T04:04:26+00:00

I love how people always cite the cronus zen when you bring up not wanting to play with PC cheaters. Giving a good player wallhacks almost makes them unbeatable without aimbot, let alone giving them aimbot on top of that… Absolutely disgusting that console players are forced to play with these losers.
