Apex Legends stand by ban after LuLuLuvely reports \u201cinnocent\u201d player Respawn EntertainmentRespawn Entertainment have said they stand by a ban ruling that caused controversy in the Apex Legends community, after NRG streamer \u2018LuLuLuvely\u2019 reported a player who protested their innocence on Reddit. After a hacker mowed down a team of streamers including Lulu, the NRG content creator immediately filed a report to Respawn\u2019s security team member Conor \u2018Hideouts\u2019 Ford to sort the situation. According to LuLuLuvely, her claim included a clip that clearly shows the enemy Gibraltar blatantly hacking. However, the person playing Bloodhound alongside Gibby was also ousted. The Bloodhound, who initially disputed the decision under their Reddit account \u2018KongoBoom,\u2019 slammed Respawn and Hideouts for how the process was carried out and reaffirmed their innocence. Their post was titled \u201cKilling streamers got me banned.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m season 6 \/ 3 predator with more than 30,000 kills you said I was cheating and in the video everything\u2019s clear. The streamer gave my name mistakenly to the developer, in your email you said I was cheating without giving any proof,\u201d they said. This quickly set off the community. Accusations of a compromised system, favoritism to particular streamers, or lack of proper handling for bans were all brought up. LuLu apologized to the player on Twitter, and said she would pass the thread along to get it attention. But, there was still anger about the supposed favoritism to address concerns of streamers, before regular players. But after hours of community in-fighting and apparent \u201cborderline death threats\u201d toward LuLu, Respawn said they were standing by the decision. Regarding today’s Reddit thread from a banned Bloodhound player: * BH appeared to have multiple other banned accounts * BH has a history of attempting to evade bans * BH was partied with the cheating GibraltarWe stand by the ban. \u2014 Apex Legends (@PlayApex) October 22, 2020 \u201cRegarding today\u2019s Reddit thread from a banned Bloodhound (BH) player,\u201d the studio wrote. \u201cBH appeared to have multiple other banned accounts, BH has a history of attempting to evade bans, BH was partied with the cheating Gibraltar. We stand by the ban.\u201d Initially, KongoBoom expressed their frustration at the sequence of events. While the NRG streamer indicated that she had no intention of the Bloodhound being banned when making the report, the security team at Respawn have decided there was enough evidence to merit the verdict. Following Respawn\u2019s statement, LuLuLuvely said \u201cShame on those who sent borderline death threats to me because of a Reddit post from the guy claiming he was innocent.\u201d Shame on those who sent borderline death threats to me because of a reddit post from the guy claiming he was innocent. I hope you find peace in your life and stay off the internet. https:\/\/t.co\/xcCMbreGwR \u2014 Lulu (@LuluLuvely) October 22, 2020 It should be noted that anyone can access the \u2018Cheater Report\u2019 Discord channel that\u2019s handled by Hideouts, where people can directly submit clips and evidence of a hacker. Uproar on this topic has devolved to speculation and accusations outside of Apex Legends and Respawn entirely, but the developers have now concluded this chapter of their long-standing battle against cheaters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
