Ninja has an idea to stop Fortnite cheaters from teaming in online cups Twitter: Ninja \/ Twitter: FaZeSwayMixer superstar Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has given Epic Games some advice to increase competitive integrity in Fortnite Battle Royale esports after another cheating accusation this week. Teaming has been an issue in competitive Fortnite for some time. It was an issue during the Fortnite World Cup qualifiers, and without an effective way to police it outside of community spectating, there\u2019s a chance players can easily get away with it. In this week\u2019s Fortnite Solos Cash Cup, allegations of teaming rose again with FaZe Clan\u2019s Sway, after he was accused of it during the Solos Cash Cup. Ninja took this recent allegation as a chance to pitch a new way to stop teaming up in competitive Fortnite, and the idea isn\u2019t a bad one. He said said that randomizing player skins and forcing anonymous mode in competitive will make it near impossible for players to team up. \u201cForce everyone in competitive Fortnite to have random skins (to others) and force anon mode,\u201d the Mixer star said. \u201cMaybe even change the time of day for different people to prevent teaming. Should mitigate some of the teaming scenarios.\u201d Dear epic games! Force everyone in competitive fortnite to have random skins (to others) and force anon mode. Maybe even change the time of day for different people to prevent teaming! Should mitigate some of the teaming scenarios. \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) August 29, 2019 The community response to Ninja\u2019s statement has been pretty positive. Many players agree that randomizing elements of the game will make it more difficult for players to team up.

FaZe player Soleil \u2018Ewok\u2019 Wheeler said that \u201cthe map and number of players are literally the only thing we need to know if we are in the same game. Changing skins and time of day won\u2019t help much.\u201d The map and number of players are literally the only thing we need to know if we are in the same game.

Its unfortunate but at the end of the day it is up to fortnite to mitigate this as much as possible. pic.twitter.com\/JIgSKMI8z1 \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) August 29, 2019 It shouldn\u2019t be too hard to implement a solution like this, and it would help mitigate a lot of the issues Fortnite esports currently faces in online events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
