Ninja has often been seen as one of the more lighthearted and family-friendly streamers in recent years, but his rage after being eliminated in a match on the battle royale title triggered a particularly angry response from the former Halo professional. While running into the storm, Ninja ended up in a medium-range gunfight with another player using an SMG and got melted by the player on low-ground, hitting only one shot from his Scar in the gunfight. Immediately, Ninja was furious, in disbelief that he had been killed in such a way and vented his frustrations to SypherPK. \u201cBro, I hate the SMG so much,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Scar is so bad, man. The guy\u2019s like 10 meters away from me, I\u2019m looking straight down at him, I hit one bullet. He looks up with an SMG and just hits every shot.\u201d It seems at first that Ninja\u2019s frustrations are with the power of the SMG, and not the Scar itself, exclaiming that he was AR distance while his opponent wasn\u2019t, clearly not happy that he was killed from that distance. (Timestamp 00:26 for mobile viewers) After sitting in silence for a while, evidently annoyed at what had happened, he said \u201cI\u2019m just going to say it\u2026 I don\u2019t care. The Scar is trash.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll take an AUG any day,\u201d he said, referencing the Epic and Legendary variations of the Burst Assault Rifle. \u201cYou know what, give me a blue Famas. I\u2019ll say it. I\u2019ll say what people are afraid to say.\u201d Teammate Sypher agreed with him, though with a more calm demeanor about him. He said that he thinks the assault rifle gunplay is not very satisfying, explaining that, conversely, he thinks the shotgun\u2019s and SMG\u2019s are satisfying to use. It could be a bit of a stretch to call the Legendary Assault Rifle \u201ctrash,\u201d but you can certainly see why Ninja is upset. In the gunfight he lost, he definitely seemed to have the upper hand in all ways, but appeared to be let down by the bloom of his gun. He went on to say that he\u2019ll be upgrading his Scar to an AK (Heavy Assault Rifle) wherever possible going forward, saying that it\u2019s a much more satisfying weapon to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ninja explains why Fortnite\u2019s Legendary Assault Rifle is \u201ctrash\u201d Mixer: Ninja \/ Epic GamesMixer streamer and Fortnite star Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has explained why he thinks Fortnite\u2019s Legendary Assault Rifle is \u201ctrash\u201d after a tough death during a duo match.
