Apex Legends streamer responds to aimbotting accusations following \u201cone in a million shot\u201d Apex Legends streamer Ottr has responded to claims that he was \u2018aimbotting\u2019 on-stream after hitting a miraculous shot in front of his Twitch viewers. Since the game launched on February 4, Apex Legends \u2013 like many multiplayer titles \u2013 has had its fair share of cheaters running riot on the servers. Respawn has banned an eye-watering amount of hackers already, with plans in place to combat them even further with learning software. Yet, it might take a little bit longer to perfect automated banning based on cheating behavior after one streamer was incorrectly banned. During his July 25 stream, Swedish broadcaster Ottr had been competing in an online tournament when he hit a remarkable set of shots on two opposing players after vaulting over a railing. The Swede was immediately unsure of what had just happened and was left with a suspicious look on his face \u2013 staring back and forth between his game and stream. After he told his chat to not clip that moment, some viewers immediately did and posted it to the Apex Legends and Livestream Fails subreddits with allegations of aimbotting. Yet, moments after his game had finished, the streamer explained how it wasn\u2019t cheating and an almost one in a million shot thanks to the vaulting. \u201cI hit the vault, and then I hit him,\u201d ottr stated. \u201cThat\u2019s the luckiest, fuck those 500-meter shots \u2013 that\u2019s the real one in a million shot. Holy shit.\u201d After the clip had gone viral on Reddit, with further claims of cheating, the Swede stepped in to defend himself \u2013 especially as suspicions about the moment ramped up due to his initial reaction. He added: \u201cSome people raised concerns about my reaction and my alt-tabbing. I react like that all the time when I do sus shit and I\u2019m currently looking through my clips trying to find some other ones when I say the same thing. I alt-tabbed to create a stream marker so I could clip it myself later cause I thought it was fun.\u201d Due to the nature of the shot, and the claims made across multiple subreddit, Ottr was initially banned from the game for under an hour by one of the Respawn developers. However, after fighting his case, the Swede was unbanned by another member of the team and didn\u2019t even have to go through the usual appeals methods. Hi there, normally I’d ask you to follow the appeals process by going here ( https:\/\/t.co\/jollrwAz91 ) but I understand the extenuating circumstances. Ban has been revoked, we’ve talked to the dev who did the manual banning. Thanks for your patience! \ud83d\ude42 \u2014 Chin Xiang Chong (@tangentiallogic) July 26, 2019 It remains to be seen how the Respawn devs will respond to false accusations in the future, especially when their cheating behavior learning system is up and running.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
