Ninja banned from Apex Legends and nobody knows why Update: Ninja got into contact with Respawn and was told to check his direct messages. It sounds like the issue is getting resolved. Original story below. On December 15 when Ninja tried to load up a match of Apex Legends, he discovered he was actually banned from the game, and didn\u2019t have any idea why or how it happened. Since Ninja\u2019s move to Mixer, he has been branching out into playing more games outside of exclusively Fortnite. While he\u2019s stuck with mostly shooters, he has branched off into games such as Dead by Daylight \u2013 something he played quite a bit before discovering Fortnite. He decided to give Apex Legends another try \u2013 a game he hasn\u2019t played a whole lot of outside of its initial release \u2013 and when he and Reverse2k tried to get into a match, they discovered Ninja actually couldn\u2019t play. On two separate attempts, Ninja was blocked from getting into a match before he finally gave up and switched to Dead by Daylight. Ninja seemed pretty confused about the whole ordeal, and he didn\u2019t have any idea why he was banned from the game. Considering he doesn\u2019t play Apex Legends all that much, it\u2019s not a huge loss, but it did hurt his night considering he had to download a sizable update before he could even start playing. What makes the whole situation even stranger is the fact that Ninja himself presented the award for Best Multiplayer Game to Apex Legends during The Game Awards. It\u2019s almost surely a mistake, but it\u2019s tough to say for sure. Ninja hasn\u2019t addressed the ban following his stream, and it\u2019s unlikely that he will given how he was pretty confused about it already. The Apex Legends subreddit tried to figure out what happened themselves, but they too were pretty stumped about what happened. Ninja was one of the many streamers paid by EA to promote the game at launch, so it\u2019d be pretty crazy to see him go from that to being permabanned. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see if Ninja decides to give the game another shot in the future if he ever does get unbanned. After this sour taste in his mouth, it might be quite some time before he fires it up again. If you\u2019re looking to hop into Apex Legends and you aren\u2019t banned, now would be a great time to do so as the Mirage Holo-Day event is currently going on. This event wraps up in January, and offers a new game mode for players to explore so there\u2019s a lot of fun to be had there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
