Ninja warns Epic that stream snipers could kill Fortnite Stream snipers have plagued battle royale games and Fortnite is no different \u2013 Twitch superstar Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins believes more needs to be done to eradicate the issue. Since the game\u2019s inception, players have intentionally attempted to ruin top streamers\u2019 experience by watching their live feed to gain an unfair advantage. Almost every large content creator or professional player has encountered the issue, most recently CouRage who was able to catch his stream sniper in the act and hopefully get him banned for good. Despite Twitch actively banning users who are caught stream sniping and broadcasting it on the platform, Ninja believes that Epic Games must do more to crack down on the issue to give streamers the best experience possible. He cited the success achieved by Apex Legends as the main reason to give priority to streamers and content creators ahead of regular users of the game. \u201cContent creators make video games dude,\u201d Blevins said. \u201cTake Apex for example. It was a free game, EA paid a bunch of creators to play the game and it blew up. It made 90 million in its first month \u2013 that\u2019s amazing!\u201d \u201cBut, I guarantee it wouldn\u2019t have been that successful if it wasn\u2019t for those streamers who promoted it, they need to be valued more than a normal person who plays that game \u2013 you take care of your customers.\u201d Ninja believes that Fortnite could suffer a similar fate to H1Z1 unless drastic action is taken against stream snipers which might force him to quit the game for good. \u201cStream snipers got so out of control [in H1Z1] that I stopped playing the game,\u201d Ninja explains. \u201cPutting on a delay isn\u2019t streaming \u2013 I shouldn\u2019t have to put a 30 second delay on to stop people getting into my game. PUBG got out of control \u2013 I stopped playing PUBG. It\u2019s the same thing with Fortnite. Epic needs to go above and beyond for the top content creators to have the best experience they possibly can.\u201d Fortnite have added a hidden matchmaking delay as well as an anonymous mode in the past to reduce the problem but players are still able to queue up with the top streamers easily. Stream sniping ruins the experience for both the streamer and viewer and more does need to be done to eradicate the issue once and for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
