FORTNITE ADDRESSES MATCHMAKING CONCERNS
"We’ve seen feedback about matchmaking and how squadding up with friends of different skill levels has felt a bit sweaty. We're running an experiment to make it easier for Squad parties with members of varying skill levels to play with each other in NA regions.
We’re aiming to expand this test to other regions after monitoring the results and making additional tweaks so matches feel fair."
