Ninja brands Fortnite squads as \u2018boring\u2019 after v8.20 patch \u2013 Dr Disrespect responds Top Fortnite player, Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins, is far from happy with the latest Fortnite update which saw the siphon mechanic removed. After being added to the default playlists back in Season 7, Epic Games opted to revert the changes in their latest Fortnite patch with the settings reserved only for their arena modes. This meant that players would no longer receive health and materials on elimination and would be unable to benefit from the 40% harvesting rate increase \u2013 making games far more tedious and long-winded. Furthermore, there is currently no option to play the arena mode as part of a squad, meaning playing with multiple friends forces you to use the old mechanics \u2013 something which Ninja has struggled to enjoy. Ninja tweeted: \u201cSquads are so dumb and boring now.\u201d Blevins also sarcastically mocked Epic\u2019s decision on stream highlighting that players are still thirsting their opponents and players are still dying rapidly. In response to his tweet, fellow Twitch streamer \u2013 Dr Disrespect \u2013 joked that Ninja should stop complaining about the changes. \u201cYou\u2019re such a whiny, bratty, complainer,\u201d said Doc. \u201cThese developers know what they are doing.\u201d However, Ninja had the last laugh after unearthing footage of Doc rage quitting while playing Fortnite admitting the game \u2018sucked\u2019 and he could no longer play it. While it\u2019s no surprise at all to see The Doc sharing his rage over Fortnite, it\u2019s become quite the rarity to see Ninja share in-depth thoughts and criticisms about the popular battle royale title. It\u2019s no secret that even though Ninja\u2019s popularity has waned in the last few months, he\u2019s still one of the biggest names on Twitch, meaning that his opinions get spread out far and wide. One simply can\u2019t ignore the sheer breadth of his reach in the online gaming space. Ninja might not be as outspoken as he once was when it comes to his negative opinions about Fortnite, but that perhaps makes what he does say hold even more weight given that it doesn\u2019t come very often. Ninja\u2019s tweets and comments about the recent patch has put even more pressure on Epic Games to revert the changes made to their default playlists with a host of top streamers also questioning their decisions. It\u2019s true that Epic Games sometimes chooses to not listen to the vocal outcry of the Twitch and professional Fortnite scenes, the developer usually comes around on the major issues before long.
