Prior to Fortnite, Ninja was a renowned gamer who went pro in Halo 3 back in 2009. However, his popularity exploded with the release of Epic Games\u2019 battle royale, where he quickly became one of the most popular streamers on Twitch. As such, Ninja\u2019s success is often tied directly to Fortnite, with the two being somewhat synonymous with each other. However, on February 12, Blevins took to Twitter to debunk a report claiming that he was quitting the game that made him famous. This is completely false. Love Fortnite and will always play it to some capacity. https:\/\/t.co\/DxNV0YTs5u \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) February 12, 2021 According to Ninja, the report was \u201ccompletely false,\u201d adding that he \u201cloves Fortnite\u201d and will \u201calways play it to some capacity.\u201d While Blevins disputes the claim and seems willing to return to Fortnite, he did state in a February broadcast that he would not be playing the game again. As Dexerto previously reported, after dealing with constant stream snipers ruining his games, he flew into a fit of rage, vowing not to play the game henceforth. \u201cYou\u2019re not proving anything by going into a f***ing game and running to someone, and when you know, they\u2019re in a fight with somebody and f***ing killing them,\u201d he said after being eliminated in his match. \u201cThis game is so f***ing stupid, bro,\u201d Blevins sighed. \u201cLike, the community, these little kids, it\u2019s just so dumb. It really is. It\u2019s not fun. It\u2019s just not. And the thing is, these f**ing clout-chasing losers, they have no idea. All they\u2019re doing is just harming the game because I\u2019m not gonna f***ing play it. I\u2019m not gonna stream it.\u201d It seems now that Ninja misspoke in his moment of frustration having dealt with the stream snipers plaguing his games. It remains to be seen when he will return to Fortnite, but it\u2019s good to know that he hasn\u2019t given up fully on the battle royale. Hopefully, we end up seeing Ninja step back into the fray sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ninja disputes claims he quit Fortnite after Twitch stream sniping outrage Instagram\/NinjaTwitch superstar Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins is disputing claims he would quit playing Fortnite after media outlets reported he would be doing just that.
