Ninja hits back as fan calls him a \u201chypocrite\u201d over Dakotaz Fortnite drama Popular streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2018 Blevins has hit back at viewers who call him a \u201chypocrite,\u201d after he ranted about the current state of Fortnite. The 28-year-old has been openly critical of those who use social media to bash the game, especially fellow streamers who have made a living by playing it. This opinion saw him involved in a public spat with Twitch streamer Brett \u2018Dakotaz\u2019 Hoffman, who eventually blocked Ninja after venting his annoyance about the Mixer star\u2019s opinion on his critiques. Despite his desire not to complain about the game, Ninja has grown increasingly frustrated with Fortnite in recent weeks and even admitted that he\u2019s not enjoying playing the game in its current state after running into a host of bugs while playing on January 6. While playing on January 8, though, the former Halo pro once again found himself frustrated after trying to take control of a wall. He eventually failed to do so and got blasted by his opponent\u2019s shotgun. After ranting about the game for a few moments, the streamer then turned his attention to the chat, where one user had made a comparison that angered him. \u201cI hate this game,\u201d he said in frustration. \u201cI don\u2019t understand how I can never take walls or floors, ever. I\u2019m sitting there, I\u2019m shooting and meleeing to replace it, and I just can\u2019t compete! It\u2019s so stupid! God, it\u2019s so silly. Do I have to have zero ping to take a wall ever? So stupid.\u201d \u201cAnd to the little sh*t that I saw who typed: \u2018You\u2019re doing what Dakotaz does and you\u2019re being a hypocrite\u2019, I literally say that popping off in the heat of the moment is completely different than just tweeting out a negative opinion and not being able to back up what you\u2019re talking about. It\u2019s much more easy to contain opinions when you\u2019re [not] in a stream. As I said, I freaked out on the game and went on to explain what I didn\u2019t like, and now we\u2019re playing the game and it\u2019s great.\u201d Clip starts at 1:18 for mobile users. Ninja\u2019s thoughts on taking walls have been echoed by the Fortnite community ever since Epic Games confirmed that they had removed the coin-flip mechanic, which gave players on higher ping a better chance of gaining control. Once again, it\u2019s based on the ping, with whoever has the lowest gaining a distinct advantage over their opponent. A frustrating feature for many players. One thing\u2019s for sure though: the streamer doesn\u2019t appreciate being compared to those who criticize Fortnite on social media, and he wants to make it clear that his moments of rage in-game are completely different.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
