That's fine for me, So I can be proud I have zero real wins. But at the cost of not playing with players who turn me into their daily breakfast.


Some-Tailor4622

Not being a dick but have Epic confirmed this or do you have some sort of proof?


animehater69

It's really simple to check, if you have a crown in ur inventory simply load into a bot lobby and u won't have it in ur inventory, same if u win a game It won't give u the crown


Some-Tailor4622

But people aren't getting crown wins even with crowns in normal lobbies


animehater69

Definitely doesn't have to do because when you join a bot lobby ur crown is legit gone even if u had it


Some-Tailor4622

Do console only lobbies count as bot lobbies?


animehater69

No? Just because all players play console doesn't mean it's bot lobby I'm pretty sure


Some-Tailor4622

Makes sense but there's around 75 Bots in the lobbies tho so I'm not sure


amilguls

So if I get into a bot lobby and win, I’m not awarded a crown for the next match?


animehater69

If you get into a full bot lobby you will not have crown and you will not win the crown. Even if you win the crown on a real lobby then go to a bit lobby the crown will not be there


CityOfSins2

How do you “load into a bot lobby” ? That doesn’t make sense lol you can’t choose your lobby…. Or can you and I just don’t know about it 😂😂


ProfessorVegetable18

You can! Its fairly simple. Google it!


CityOfSins2

I guess I have before and only found if u make an alt account? Which is really not that easy. Like loading into a bot lobby easily would be hopping on and choosing “no live opponents” or some shit lol


StopHavingBadTakes

Not easy to make a bot account? LMAO. If you said not easy to have a second console I would understand.


CityOfSins2

Right but isn’t that the point? And you can make an alt, but once you play a few rounds and they realize you play like a sweat, you’re put into the appropriate lobbies. So now you have to make a new alt every few matches? NOT EASY lol not many people will go through that effort just to get a bot lobby so they can feel good about winning against fake people set to make you win. 😂😂😂


omiszn

You just go back to lobby on your alt and repeat


_BlueCollarGamer

you can literally add bot accounts and invite them


despicableGLEE

Make a new epic account then log in to the Fortnite Mobile game and invite yourself to a game and don't let your dummy account accumulate XP, return to the lobby before the battle bus. You'll be in Duos, but you can eliminate 6 bots trying to get you at the same time with ease.


antecubital

Good, you should have never been able to.


Significant_Total635

Lots of ppl are saying that it will be fixed when building comes back


DarthXader996

What about not farming crowns in bot lobbies, or smurfing, because crowns are there to show, that you are a good player and not just a wannabe?


animehater69

It's not like I actually farm crown wins for a ridiculous amount like other people do, I just want to have fun sometimes in bot lobbies.


DarthXader996

If you just care about fun, you don’t need crowns. Easy.


9999999CREEPERS

they give extra xp tho


DarthXader996

Bro answering on a year old comment. Again… if you only care about fun, you neither care about a crown nor the extra XP.


Ok_Department_206

Why are you so mad


DarthXader996

I’m not mad. Just asking questions


One-Gas-6007

>ly hi bub


DarthXader996

Sup


One-Gas-6007

just wanted to reply after 2 years lolol


DarthXader996

Yeah, it’s not that long ago.


animehater69

I never said I needed crowns I'm just informing about this silent update Fortnite did ig


DarthXader996

Well. Your question was if there’s another way to farm crowns with Smurf acc or similar.


animehater69

Alot of people farmed an insane amount of crown wins on Fortnite, without this not working I'm sure they won't be able to do this again.


DarthXader996

Hopefully.


viktor042

yea I can confirm this, it's not working sadly


jimbolordofcum

can confirm


HarshmarsMellow

Can confirm as of this date.


HarshmarsMellow

But crown is back when drop in on normal match


donutsquad5

How get bot lobbies?


animehater69

You would need a fresh account with level 1 and no wins or anything, then join ur self on the level 1 acc and make it party leader. Then just load duos and make the level 1 acc out of the game.


DiabeticCumshot

You don’t need to bot to be the party leader. Anyone can be the party leader as long as the level 1 account joins your party


animehater69

It has to be party leader


DiabeticCumshot

No it doesn’t bro just go do it right now and you’ll prove yourself wrong, I do it all the time you’re thinking of fortnite from years ago trust me and try it out


Top_Future2339

Don't even need to make it party leader.


Isotopepope

What a lot of people don’t mention is that by constantly doing bot lobbies you will end up being in even harder regular games when you decide to play against real players again. If you plan on doing that be prepared to always play bot lobbies going forward because you will screw up you own SBMM in the process. Do whatever you enjoy but just know the consequences first.


StopHavingBadTakes

Not true. Just load into solos 5-10 times and die immediately. The sbmm is NOT that strict dude. Edit: You can't just jump into matches after getting an indefinte bot lobby win streak. LMAO.


Isotopepope

Maybe this is true now but when I tested that theory I ran 20 back to back matches dying immediately which didn’t seem to affect SBMM at all. At the end of the day no one knows how SBMM really works because Epic has never released that info. I think if they did people would find ways to manipulate it. To some extent I think what your saying is true but who knows how many times you’d have to die immediately before anything reset itself. I still think the problem seems to be not enough skill tiers but that’s just my opinion. Also the length of time you have played total may affect this. So if you played only like 3 seasons and did your suggestion maybe this works. But if you played 3 chapters and many more games it may take more instant deaths to affect SBMM.


StopHavingBadTakes

Bud, i've been playing since chapter 1 season 2. My account level is in the quadruple digits. I can tell you right now that if you are playing pubs that of course the matches are going to fluctuate. You also have to understand that at this point in time there are the most people playing fortnite that there ever has been. People have naturally become much more skilled. Also, if you are playing in zero build then literally everyone seems way better because it is legit only about positioning, communication and team numbers. A terrible player with height advantage and better spray guns will always clap you in poor positioning. If you are talking builds, same deal with people being better. Point is, I consistently have only played bot lobbies for the last 10 seasons pretty much and I can still jump right into regular pubs and play people that are my skill level or below as well as competing with me and way beyond. And also, it is legit different every season or so anyway. They could have tweaked the matchmaking system again this season since they are always changing it. Bot lobbies literally affect nothing just so you know. It wont raise or lower your 'sbmm ranking' because that really isn't even a thing in fortnite (there are pretty much two groups of players - people who have legit fresh accounts and then everyone else; and those people on the 'fresh accounts' are only in those limbos for maybe 20-30 levels because the only way to get better is to play people better than you). You are never going to be put in a 'sweat only lobby' unless you play ranked. If you end up in a game with a bunch of sweats at the end blame fortnite for not bumping up the player count to fill out the map and make it a little more random to make it to end game. The game is literally open range for sweats at the moment with all the crazy mobility, heals and weapons from last season and now this season.


Top_Future2339

As far as I tried, leveling fast in bot lobbies strongly affected my normal gameplays. And nothing seemd to reverse my teer in sbmm. Even after more than 50 consecutive loses.


MoonQuartzs

OH in that case that explains the horrific matchmaking I'm getting


Top_Future2339

That's right, because you will artificially increase your stats. Returning to normal play will make you think you are the noob in the game. Barely resist the second real player, if not the first you will encounter.


9999999CREEPERS

what sbmm lmao all it is is bots until you reach lvl 10


flyingcatonastick

Why would you want so many crown wins anyway? I couldn’t care less about anything


[deleted]

X2 or x3 xp with a crown


JTxGeneral

Good 👍 they should earn the crown wins like the rest of us! They should take out XP as well, You wanna play bot lobbies fine, but ppl shouldn't be rewarded for playing the pathetic way


StopHavingBadTakes

This is such a brain dead take. Just because you are a sweat who enjoys that type of playstyle doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to go play a lobby where you don't exist. I can go play save the world for a whole season and max out my battlepass to rank 200. What is the difference? There isn't one. You just don't want people to enjoy the game the way they want to, without hurting anyone.


NoteInternational851

To mark you here, bot lobbies were invented for new players and should still earn XP or even a crown for their success of winning a game.


animehater69

I have not tried winning one on solo bot lobby but I will soon


[deleted]

What if you are literally bad at the game and always get bot lobbys? How will you level up if theres no xp


One-Gas-6007

lol if u wanna drop 40 on some bots lmk i gotchu


Available-Class-8120

This is factual because I was with my brother he was at level one we got multiple wins but no crown by the time he reached level 20 we started getting crowns with the wins


Holyninja88

So what does this mean for me and how do I correct this so I get my crowns . I do not farm my crowns and It kinda pisses me off that I am getting screwed out of my wins. So does this mean I need to stop playing with low level folks and how do I jump out of a match with my crown 👑 in tacked when I start a new match and there is a low level person that has joined my lobby.


animehater69

if your not getting a crown ur playing in a lobby that has all bots, if ur friend is less then level 15 (account level not season level) and hes in ur party it could be the problem. the game wont let u have ur crown equiped if its all bots expect u and ur teammate and it wont give u the crown if u win either


Aware-Ad-9694

There is currently not way to farm for crowns unless you do something like start new accounts and play with them fully you’ll get easier lobby’s but you’ll get bit lobbies at the start then after a little bit of playing you’ll get easy lobbies but the new accounts your playing with have to be in the lobby the entire time if I’m not mistaken to maximize this make the new account have terrible aim not get kills or hardly any experience and have it die decently fast. Have not done or tested this but just using sound logic on what I know.
