NICKMERCS responds to Ninja wanting aim-assist removed from Fortnite 100 Thieves streamer Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff has responded to calls from Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins to remove aim assist for controllers on Fortnite Battle Royale. Ninja was playing solo matches on the popular battle royale franchise, when he was killed by a player using a grey burst rifle from close range. After checking his stream, Blevins discovered that the player was using a controller, and stated that he felt it shouldn\u2019t be part of the game on PC. \u201cController auto-aim dude. I totally disagree with it, I don\u2019t think it should be in the game. If you plug in a controller to a PC, have fun, there should be no aim-assist.\u201d NICKMERCS, who regularly plays with a controller, disagreed with Ninja\u2019s sentiment, stating: \u201cAnybody with a brain \u2013 they know that controller players, in the grand scheme of things, are at huge disadvantage when it comes to the game of Fortnite. \u201cIf you guys think that because of aim-assist and the recent changes to building that we\u2019re now at an advantage? I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t understand you guys.\u201d Kolcheff believes that if Ninja were to compete in the Fortnite esports scene, he may change his mind, saying: \u201cNo offence to [Ninja], he doesn\u2019t play in any of the big tournaments. Maybe he should play a couple tournaments and see what it\u2019s like because it\u2019s just not the same. \u201cThe way these pro PC players move and how fast they can do things, there\u2019s only so much we will ever be able to do to keep up with that,\u201d concluded the American. While NICKMERCS believes he is at a disadvantage when using a controller, his incredible skill with the peripheral always sees him place highly at tournaments, with the 100 Thieves member finishing ninth in the Fall Skirmish. There are currently no official plans from Epic Games to remove aim-assist from players who use controller on PC, so Fortnite fans can rest easy knowing they won\u2019t have to make the switch to keyboard and mouse just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
