Ninja, the well-known livestreamer, has recently made headlines by announcing his decision to quit playing Fortnite due to the introduction of vehicles in the game. The gamer, who rose to fame through Fortnite, expressed his dissatisfaction with the current season, labeling it as a game for ‘losers’.
Having played Fortnite since its launch in 2017, Ninja has become a prominent figure in the gaming community. However, his latest criticisms target the inclusion of vehicles in the game, which he believes shifts the focus away from the core gameplay elements he enjoys.
The most recent season of Fortnite introduces new vehicle modifications, such as a machinegun turret and grenade launcher, along with the addition of Nitro as a resource to enhance speed and destructibility. Ninja voiced his frustration by stating that the presence of vehicles encourages a more passive playstyle, contrary to his preference for action-packed gameplay.
Expressing his discontent during a livestream, Ninja emphasized his disapproval of the vehicle-centric gameplay, stating, ‘We’re going to land in the middle of nowhere, we’re going to loot up, we’re going to find a vehicle, we’re going to f****** not attack anyone.’ The gamer, known for his competitive spirit, expressed his preference for engaging in combat rather than relying on vehicles for success.
Following a defeat at the hands of a vehicle equipped with a machinegun turret, Ninja declared his decision to stop playing Fortnite for the current season. Instead, he plans to shift his focus to other games like Valorant and League Of Legends, where the gameplay aligns more with his preferences.
This announcement from Ninja has sparked discussions within the gaming community, with fans and fellow gamers sharing their opinions on the evolving landscape of Fortnite. While vehicles have been a part of the game for years, Ninja’s departure highlights the impact of gameplay changes on player experiences and preferences.
As Ninja explores new gaming opportunities outside of Fortnite, his decision to step away from the popular title raises questions about the future direction of the game and the dynamics of competitive gaming in the industry.
