Ninja lashes out at CoD hackers after winning Warzone Wednesday Infinity Ward \/ Mixer: NinjaTyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has used his Warzone Wednesday Week 3 victory to speak out about the Call of Duty battle royale\u2019s cheating problem, stating he and his team had to use workarounds to avoid hackers in their lobbies. While Ninja had come close to tasting success in the Modern Warfare battle royale, during Week 3 of Warzone Wednesdays, he finally broke through. Partnering up with two-time champions JoshOG and Diegosaurs, the trio picked up their first win as a squad by quite some margin. However, their win didn\u2019t come easy, after Ninja\u2019s team was swarmed by hackers early in the tournament. Congrats to @Ninja @JoshOG & @diegosaurs for winning week 3 #WarzoneWednesdays !!!!!! pic.twitter.com\/ItqgkHTnQv \u2014 KEEM \ud83c\udf7f (@KEEMSTAR) April 7, 2020 While it didn\u2019t ultimately affect their own placing, it forced the Mixer superstar to pause and reflect on how big of an issue cheating in Warzone has become. \u201cThree of our five games we died to hackers early, and one of the games I plugged a controller in to get a console lobby without hackers,\u201d the streamer said on Twitter mid-way through the bracket. For as many streamers who love to play the battle royale, there\u2019s an equal amount of stories about how hacking is ruining the experience. It\u2019s more than just stream snipers \u2014 full-blown god-mode-users and aimbotters are taking over. @jjcasts 3 of our 5 games we died to hackers early and one of the games I plugged a controller in (first time ever on cod) to get a console lobby w\/o hackers. \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) April 6, 2020 The hackers didn\u2019t mysteriously vanish after the tournament ended either. Ninja wanted to unwind with some Warzone on stream afterwards, but had to quit after cheaters constantly ambushed him \u201cI\u2019m not kidding, 7\/8 solo games after Warzone Wednesday I had a hacker kill me at airport, and chase me across the map after I won a gulag and kill me again,\u201d he said. Ninja\u2019s experience was affirmed by other streamers like Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop. \u201cSkill based matchmaking combined with hackers every game ruins it,\u201d the 100 Thieves star added. \u201cSuch a shame.\u201d I\u2019m not kidding, 7\/8 solo games after Warzone Wednesday I had a hacker kill me at airport; and chase me across the map after I won a gulag and kill me again. Thank God Valorant beta goes live tomorrow. \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) April 7, 2020 It\u2019s such a shame. I feel the exact same way. People tweeting me \u201cstop playing then\u201d or \u201cstop complaining\u201d I fucking love Warzone. I really do think it\u2019s a damn blast. Skill based matchmaking combined with hackers every game ruins it. Such a shame. \u2014 Jack \u201cCouRage\u201d Dunlop (@CouRageJD) April 7, 2020 Ninja\u2019s one of many streamers to demand Infinity Ward clean up Warzone\u2019s cheating issue. Most recently, Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag warned Warzone will \u201cdie out\u201d if Infinity Ward don\u2019t add any kind of anti-cheat software. Given the FPS game landscape right now, with Valorant releasing in just a matter of hours, these issues could spell the end for the incredibly popular battle royale. Infinity Ward have made commitments to stop cheaters, so it\u2019s just a matter of time to see if their efforts seed change, or if it\u2019s more of the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
