NICKMERCS has been creating loadout videos for Warzone since the game originally launched, which has given the Call of Duty community the opportunity to replicate his favorite weapon builds. Of course, like many CoD streamers, Nick\u2019s loadouts have become some of the most popular in the game. In fact, it\u2019s rare to not see Warzone players running around with competitively kitted out guns. Whether you\u2019re a fan of NICKMERCS\u2019 content or prefer other Warzone personalities, there\u2019s certainly no denying just how influential he has been in shaping the Warzone meta. Of course, this has sparked a lot of anger in the community as the majority of players only adopt the most competitive builds. NICKMERCS loadout video response In a recent video, Nick addressed the opinion that he has \u201cruined\u201d Warzone with his loadout videos. While a number of Warzone players have always been eager to point out how the ever-popular streamer\u2019s loadouts have impacted the meta, it reached a climax when Nick released a video on the FFAR 1. The Warzone streamer has been getting a lot of flak from Warzone players, with many of them taking to Nick\u2019s Twitter and YouTube comments section to show their frustrations. \u201cWhat the team and I do here is give you insights on the best guns, the news to come, and we take a lot of pride in giving that information,\u201d explains the streamer. Due to the highly competitive nature of Warzone, it\u2019s understandable that the majority of the playerbase will gravitate towards these meta loadouts. After all, winning games isn\u2019t particularly easy, especially when you\u2019re constantly pitted against skilled squads and never-ending hacker hordes. \u201cA lot of you guys can\u2019t wait for the new loadout and for me to use lots of different guns, and not just the same gun over and over again,\u201d says Nick. \u201cI don\u2019t think that any of you guys should be getting upset with me about putting a loadout out there on YouTube. I mean, it\u2019s a YouTube channel, it\u2019s my job, it\u2019s what I do. I\u2019m not trying to ruin the game, I\u2019m just trying to give you guys a little bit of insight into what I\u2019m using.\u201d Read More: Warzone stream sniper trolls NICKMERCS &#8211; Nick also goes on to state how the game\u2019s balancing is down to Activision, stating that \u201cIt\u2019s up to the game\u2019s developers and their whole team to keep things fresh, update things, nerf things, buff things. That\u2019s on them, not me.\u201d While Activision has nerfed certain guns in the past, they have often taken a fairly long time to do so. For example, it took multiple nerfs before the DMR\u2019s reign of terror came to an end. However, Nick does admit that he and fellow Warzone streamers do help to increase the general competitiveness of the playerbase. \u201cI think sometimes me and other YouTubers expedite the process of noobs getting better \u2013 that\u2019s fine, that\u2019s partly our job,\u201d explains Nick. \u201cI know the majority of you guys are cool with this and don\u2019t care, but for those of you who do care, listen. It\u2019s my job, I\u2019m going to keep doing this.\u201d NICKMERCS\u2019 loadouts will continue to prove popular amongst Warzone players of all skill levels, so expect to see plenty more OP builds in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS hits back at claims he \u201cruined\u201d Warzone with loadout videos Activision \/ NICKMERCS (YouTube)Call of Duty content creator Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff has responded to viewers that believe he has ruined Warzone with his meta loadout videos.
