Fortnite Player FaZe Jarvis Banned After Using Aimbot, Says He Didn't Know He Could Be Banned For Life For Using It

Within the first two minutes of the video that got him banned he clearly acknowledges aimbot = ban multiple times.
He knew.
He knew.
Lol flushing 2 mil subs down the toilet cause he streams himself aim botting. Not buying the lie that he didn't know better. He played cod and I'm sure other multiplayer shooters, he def knew cheating can get you banned
Even people that don't know anything about competitive gaming know what aimbot is and the consequences. He shouldn't have been using it to begin with. You cheated and you got caught, the end. Tons of small streamers out there are trying to make it without cheating and they get no attention, so yeah, fuck off Jarvis.
I'm not saying that. The original post said that he's crying because he got banned from a video game, when it is very obvious that the game is more than just a video game for him. I don't have too much sympathy for him, I'm just providing justification as to why I think it makes sense he would cry because of this, and that his tears are not unreasonable.
He knew what he was doing, he knew he was breaking a rule. I see why he will cry, but I'm not gonna feel sorry for it dude lol. If I was in that position I would be accountable, respectul, and realize this is my living - I don't gamble with that. It sucks but he will learn a critical lesson here.
Did FaZe Clan comment on the situation? Havinga cheater under contract isn't the best look for an eSports brand.
The fact that nobody told him this was a horrible idea surprised me.

Apparantly in playground mode too.. most people calling for blood ITT probably didn't watch the video. (Or know more than I do)
I think Epic is being this harsch because his video could be seen as advertising aimbot to a large audience.
That was my question- what % of the user base are using aimbots?
Because that would totally ruin the game.
If he was that dependant on Fortnight for his funds maybe he shouldn't have done something so incredibly stupid and then advertised it the world in detail while acting totally nonchalant about it.
Dude got 2.4 million views on his crying video, maybe he should get a lifetime ban on more games and rake in the cash filming apologies.
Lol at people defending the cheating. Demonstrating a cheat to thousands of viewers is actually worse than just cheating on your own.
With absolutely zero context for this player or Fortnite competitive play in general, I... feel kinda bad for the guy? Not saying he doesn't deserve his punishment, and yeah, he betrayed a huge lack of common sense in this situation, but based on the video the dude seems to be legitimately emotional and regretful over the whole thing.
Again, not saying the punishment wasn't deserved, and maybe he's only regretful because he got caught, but some of the vitriol in this thread directed at a 17-year-old over such a deeply unimportant incident in the grand scheme of things is at once both troubling and very revealing.

Unless this dude's a scumbag and part of the alt-right component of gaming YouTube, then have at it. I wouldn't know!
Oh no, the stupid kid can't make way more money than is reasonable playing videogames anymore because he cheated and knowingly went against the terms of service.
It's not like there are hundreds of thousands of stupid kids who won't cheat waiting in the wings.
Well, he could and still be able to play but this isn't about playing, this is about him being able to create content and continue to make money.
Probably because he spent hundreds on cosmetics on his original account. Almost every popular streamer I see playing Fortnite, they buy every new skin.
He did. He was aware of the rules and didn't wanna risk losing his account or something so apparently he made alt accounts for the Aimbot videos he made lmao.
I don't think there's a question as to whether he regrets it or not. I think it's that we shouldn't feel bad. He was a Fortnite pro, who's competed in tournaments. Yes he's 17, but as a pro of any game, you should know what's legal and what's illegal. Even as a gamer, you should know what is a bannable offense in video games. As a kid, I was more than aware that aimbots are bannable in MW2.
I don't think we should feel bad that he got banned.
"I'm 100 percent gonna get banned 🤣"
"It never crossed my mind that I might get banned 😭😭😭"
Sure, but a lifetime ban?
If it were an in-game exploit, 'Here's how to clip under the ground and shoot players', would that be worth a lifetime ban? It isn't just about cheating.
It just seems harsh given the context of openly demonstrating it, not hiding the use of it.
lol! I see.
Yeah.... I guess that's really what this boils down to.
Then it's a fine punishment. Dude can still play and he made 2 million dollars from it. He should be set for a long time.
I feel sorry for the kid, it must be hard to have your whole world come crashing down, but that's just what can happen when you do something this stupid. Absolutely the correct response. Cheaters cannot be tolerated and basically promoting cheating only makes it worse.
Think about it this way, this guy likely almost makes a six-figure income and publicly talks and brags about using an aimbot on a game he is known for while also knowing enough to use alt accounts so his main account never gets banned. Publicly. He does this with 2 million people subscribed to him.
Age isn't an excuse to hold back on a dude that flagrantly abuses the system and say "oh man I didn't know I could be banned for that??" We can't really compare his situation with the average 17 year old. I mean I was 17 a decade ago and I really can't sympathize with him outside the feeling of getting caught doing something bad and the rug pulled under you.
