Ninja asks Fortnite players to be \u201chonest\u201d in push for aim assist nerf Twitter: Ninja \/ Epic Games \/ PixabayTyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has had enough. He says he \u201ccan\u2019t do anything,\u201d but the community can. He\u2019s rallying Fortnite players \u2014 specifically high-level controller users\u2014 to demand Epic nerfs aim assist on PC and bring players back to mouse and keyboard. Fortnite controller players have come under intense scrutiny from the community. Streamers often complain about them when they get beamed in-game. In tournaments, lobbies on PC are dominated by controller players. The debate has always come down to the aim assist benefit controller players get when playing on PC. While on console it can be an even playing field, on PC, the controller aim assist has been likened to an \u201caimbot\u201d by players like Ninja. However, without anything being done on Epic\u2019s end to nerf it, the player base is growing tired. After this week\u2019s FNCS Invitational was once again dominated by controller players, Ninja posted a video on Twitter asking the community to rally together to create change. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be up to credible, top competitive controller players who have a huge influence to reach out to Epic and be vocal about [aim assist],\u201d he said. \u201cWe all, as a unit, want it to be more balanced. \u201cController aim assist [on PC] is performing way better than it does on Xbox and PlayStation. People have to be vocal about it, especially the players that are using it.\u201d Bunch of Fortnite gamers talking about controller aim assist (on pc not console), wanted to leave my 2 cents. Please watch the whole video before commenting or leaving hate. pic.twitter.com\/MnuCAF4Ju9 \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) May 18, 2020 Ninja has stuck to mouse and keyboard while others like Fortnite World Cup solos champion Kyle \u2018Bugha\u2019 Giersdorf made the switch to controller earlier in the year (albeit briefly). A former Halo pro, Ninja would know his way around the sticks, but he believes that in its current state, it\u2019s too strong. \u201cIf we get more people speaking up about it, and being honest about it, we can actually get a nerf or a change,\u201d he said. \u201c[We] can make it more balanced and healthy.\u201d The Mixer star didn\u2019t criticize the players who swapped to controller, but rather the system itself that Epic has developed. \u201cController players are amazing, [there\u2019s] incredible talent. I just want everyone to be happy and I want the game to thrive.\u201d Ninja\u2019s criticism of Fortnite\u2019s controller aim assist stems back to over a year ago now, but few changes have been implemented. Since World Cup 2019, and then the turn into Chapter 2, more pros have hung up the mouse and keyboard and picked up the sticks. With Season 3 on the horizon, players might see some changes coming to aim assist. We will just have to wait and see if Epic has something in-store, or if more pros will make the jump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
