Ninja, like many other prominent content creators, has recently transitioned away from Fortnite in order to play other, newer titles. These include Valorant and Call of Duty: Warzone, both of which Blevins has streamed considerable amounts over the last few weeks. However, during an April 24 live stream, he made a return to Fortnite, but quickly grew frustrated with the state of the game after being eliminated by an opponent\u2019s minigun. Playing alongside SypherPK \u2013 who has also criticized Fortnite of late \u2013 Ninja became annoyed after being eliminated by enemies spamming their way into his box. After the pair were killed, Sypher stated: \u201cI think there\u2019s just too many skill-less, spamming guns that reward bad players.\u201d Ninja agreed, shouting: \u201cI hate this f**king game. Switch on over to Fortnite to have some fun, first game [I] die to one of the sweatiest players I\u2019ve seen in this f**king game, in a long time\u2026 Sypher has 150 shield, gets heavy sniped from 200 meters away, get\u2019s knocked. Second guy, heavy snipes him, thirsts him, he\u2019s dead. Launch pad over to me, minigun spray \u2013 it\u2019s just so bad, that\u2019s not fun. I don\u2019t have fun.\u201d Timestamp for Mobile Users: 0:25 \u201cCan they remove the f**king heavy snipers from this game?\u201d the Mixer star continued. \u201cLet me tell you two guns that never should have returned to this game \u2013 heavy snipers and miniguns\u2026 I hate I complain so much, but why is it in the game!\u201d While complaints regarding the heavy sniper and miniguns are nothing new, Ninja expanded on his frustrations and stated that their most annoying aspect is the lack of skill they take to use.

If they managed this with one of the game\u2019s old 105-damage bolt-action sniper rifles, most players would be left with some health and could heal up and fight back. Similarly, the minigun\u2019s large magazine and fast rate-of-fire mean players can fire continuously to break down an enemy\u2019s defenses, as opposed to a different gun, where players could counter-build. Epic has not publicly responded to fan complaints over the minigun or heavy sniper. However, since they stopped publishing patch notes in Chapter 2, many players have grown used to a lack of clarity surrounding changes and their decisions. Ninja, though, wants something to change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ninja blasts Fortnite for catering to \u2018unskilled\u2019 players Mixer: Ninja\/Epic GamesPopular Fortnite veteran Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has criticized Epic Games\u2019 battle royale, arguing there are too many weapons that any player can use effectively.
