FaZe Star Jarvis Banned Permanetly After Using Aim-bot Cheat
Games are hard, but they are even harder when the opponent is cheating. Epic Games banned one of the biggest names in Fortnite after the user was caught using an aim-bot to help him get good footage for his content creation. What else do celebrities do when they knowingly and publicly commit some sort of taboo or frowned upon action? They apologize and cry on camera. Jarvis Kaye (17), who was permanently banned from Fortnite this past week over the cheating, has come out with a public apology posted to his YouTube channel. The teenage gaming star has made his name by playing Fortnite for one of the premiere teams in the world. Confusing as it is, when controller players pretty much have aim-bot when they use aim assist, why cheat and risk getting caught?
Community Split Over Decision
While the ban may seem harsh to some, others believe that the player deserves the punishment that he got. Fortnite has been under the spotlight multiple times this past year on how they treat known cheaters. As some of you may remember the whole XXiF scandal, where the player was caught cheating and was only put on a 2 week ban but was still allowed to play in the world cup. Most of the community was in outrage over the idiotic decision by Epic. Jarvis received a perma ban in a non-competitive situation. Epic states that anyone caught using aim-bot software will be permanently banned, and they are sticking by their decision. Ninja has been Jarvis' biggest defender besides FaZe clan itself. Ninja believes that a punishment definitely should be forced, but a perma ban is to harsh and will ruin this teenagers career. Others, like Dakotaz have explicitly stated on their streams that they agree with Epic, and Jarvis should not have made such a dumb decision, whether he thought it was okay or not.
Do you think Jarvis is deserving of this harsh of a punishment?
