- Changes how queues work for Solo, Squads, and Duos.
Fall Guys' skill-based matchmaking has led to many fans crying out and is among a list of the major complaints within the Fall Guys' community. A simple fix would be altering how players are matched up by their CR or adding in a ranked mode. A ranked and casual mode allows players to choose whether they are affected by SBMM.
Why is '#SaveFallGuys' trending?
Fall Guys players have taken to Twitter with the hashtag 'SaveFallGuys' to get Mediatonic to intervene and make adjustments to Fall Guys. While SBMM has impacted the community, it is not the only reason for the hashtag to be trending. Other reasons include the battle pass, events, shop, kudos, and more. Hopefully, Mediatonic will be moved by their community's pleas and make the requests and save their game.
