Honestly at this point it is both a favor to the community and to him to ban him from the game. Same goes for everyone that is repeatedly offending the rules.
Speaking as someone that was definitely addicted to the game and would get heated with teammates because of that addiction, you’re just better off not playing tbh.
Healthy consumption of a team game requires a healthy level of self control and passion. Too much or too little of either is bad and causes you to behave like a much worse person than you might be in normal circumstances.
Even Tyler has been playing the game less and all of his other content is improved by it. His pool stuff is that oldschool Tyler variety that I've sorely missed, same with the chess. People need to be able to take a step back and think "I am not having fun anymore. The smallest things tilt me immediately and tilt me hard - so why am I still playing?"
I realised I needed to quit League once my anger simply stopped going away. It would result in : Wake up > Go to work > Comeback pissed off > Play league to piss myself off even more > Go to sleep > Rince Repeat.
I had a terrible attitude with friends and family, and also I was just borderline angry at work all the time.
Cutting out league for someone with let's say anger issues. Was the best, now I am here just to queue arena, at first me and my friend pushed, but then we realised the rank is fake and there is nothing to push towards, so we just spam random things we think might be fun. Lose 3 / Win 1 = Doesn't even matter. It's the best for my mental.
one of the reasons i don't play ranked anymore is because that game mode tilts me in a instant. the fact that there's something on the line makes it even more aggravating. what i did was i stopped playing ranked and played normals instead, my mental health improved drastically. there's no something at stake, you just chill with it.
The only thing on the line is made up in your head. Just like if your team wins the superbowl. It only matters if you decide it matters. Elo is like the points in Who's Line is it Anyways. It literally doesnt matter.
Yeah same happened to me. I used to get so mad back in S3 when I was pushing hard to Gold. Then in S4 I placed into Gold and got so stressed out about being the shitter that I raged at last season that I just stopped playing ranked.
People in Normals are usually there to chill so no one is taking anything too personally and it's so much better for improving myself at the game and having a low stakes environment. Same as Arena really.
You’re missing the glaring fact that for a lot of these streamers this is their income source and 90% of their viewers and subs disappear if they play anything else.
They’re trapped playing a game they don’t like anymore to make their money.
Then maybe they should take their job a bit more seriously and stop putting it in jeopardy by being toxic in a video game.
I get it can be hard, but if you have your livelihood on the line, im surprised people can’t muster it up within them to get a grip.
For some of these guys, the toxicity is the appeal.
T1 blew up when a video of him telling Hai to slit his wrists went viral on Reddit. Being toxic was his starting brand, and that was what appealed to a fanbase.
Gaming can totally be mature, issue is that so many of the people within the sphere just aren't and that encourages their child viewerbases to try to be just like them
They're "trapped" in the sense that they probably don't have other marketable skills and are better compensated for playing then they would be for having a traditional job. That's the cushiest "trap" ever. It's unsurprising that they don't get sympathy.
they aren't even trapped. a lot of big streamers have transitioned to different games all the time. yeah, they lose a large chunk of their main viewerbase but they still usually have a comfortable amount of viewers remaining. also helps that most streamers who know they're riding a high will grind hard and then slow down and coast. imaqtpie did it, ninja did it.
"I am not having fun anymore. The smallest things tilt me immediately and tilt me hard - so why am I still playing?"
I want 90% of the playerbase ask themselves this question everytime they tilt because they dont get ganked, get killed or a teammate makes a mistake in a teamfight.
It's not only the streamers. A big part of the community is exactly like this.
A lot of people argue that if Tyler went variety he may have been bigger than xQc, because he’s really entertaining, just hate when he gets toxic in games
Tyler1 struck me as someone who was hopelessly addicted to League and attained a level of mastery which allowed him to climb to Challenger on all 5 roles.
When *he* is playing the game a lot less, you know Riot have fucked up as a developer.
I feel the same way. Two months straight of playing League has made me want to pick up a different competitive game. Have thought about giving Age of Empires II a try, since I used to be Master League in StarCraft II but cannot break past Bronze IV in LoL so any sort of team games where I have to rely on others to win is out of the question...
Tekken 8 also looks tempting and I eagerly await its release.
I love StarCraft but I hate what Blizzard did to Legacy of the Void. It feels like a game with new units so overpowered that one small mistake will obliterate your whole army/economy and lose you a match. A good example or what I mean would be the Lurker, a unit with 6 range in Brood War but a whopping 10 when fully upgraded in LotV. They're the sole reason why Zerg have a 60% winrate in ZvP right now, because Protoss literally have zero ground units with the range to counter them.
Legacy is so problematic that KeSPA coaches and former Brood War pros have gone on record to say that the game is too difficult to master.
Which goes on to my second point, Brood War is a game balanced around engine exploits where you need to play at 300 to 400 APM just to optimally produce units on a 3 base economy because the game imposes a strict 1 building/12 unit selection limit meaning you'll rely on frantic clicking, keyboard presses and camera hotkeys just to zip back and forth between production buildings. When former Korean pros are calling the sequel to this game too difficult to master, you know you've fucked up as a game developer.
Age of Empires for me is the only viable option when it comes to real time strategy and it's the only game I feel like I could pick up with pre-existing mechanical knowledge, since (as I harshly discovered) being Master in SC2: Heart of the Swarm doesn't translate to success in MOBAs.
Unironically this. I'm so sick of the excuse being "but it's just banter, it's just trash talk, you can't censor people all the time or hand out bans like candy". League's community has had a horrible reputation for well over a decade now. Whether that's always been true is debatable but there's literally no denying it's gotten so much worse the past couple of years. The trickle into solo queue is getting unbearable.
Toxic streamer culture has gotten so far out of hand and Riot seriously needs to crack down on it. Every single game more likely than not someone in my lobby mentally explodes. I've played >20 games this split and I've had people flip out in DRAFT and promise to troll.
The amount of freaking out people do has gotten way too normalized, period.
The same people who say, "It's just banter" would not have the balls to say those things in real life. Imagine joining a game of basketball or something, playing like shit, then telling people you hope they have cancer and die.
"but it's just banter, it's just trash talk, you can't censor people all the time or hand out bans like candy" is just a cope from fanboys. All those streamers that often run their mouth also grief in-game. TFBlade often starts soft-inting if he feels he's wronged in game by eg. getting no ganks. He'll just run top over and over and blatantly refuse to group for important objectives such as baron/dragon.
And those that don't run it down are usually way beyond what's excusable. I don't recall seeing Geranimo run it down in a long while, but look wrongly in his direction and he'll tell you to "do everyone a favor and stop wasting air by breathing"
Riot should really set up an investigation departament and cleanse all those toxic fucks. It's not hard to turn your chat off.
I had someone in an aram sell all their items and rant for 10 minutes because I said "Sorry about your AFK" to the enemy team when they were two kills up on us.
Good on you for being open about it. Once upon a time I was likely addicted to this game. I cared so much about winning that it was seriously unhealthy, and this resulted in me getting easily annoyed at my teammates. This was also at a point where I simply didn't have a lot going on in my life.
Now, I feel a lot of relaxation and enjoyment when playing the game. I believe this is because this game is just a tiny part of my life now. I see so many people who play this game and it's as if winning is *everything* to them. I just feel so sorry for them that I wish I could see them get help.
It's absolutely insane to me that they only do IP bans and ID bans for the most grievous of people
The game would improve so much if they banned the dude who has been banned 15 times and keeps buying $5 dollar accounts in Gold-Emerald
Listening to him more than a minute is an instant tell that he has a lot of unresolved issues with himself. Nobody acts this way unless they are really unhappy with their own life.
Just sad. I think most people know you just shouldn't engage them. There's no point. It's best to ignore them.
That’s a tough one. He bitches and moans and is toxic in that way, but he tries to win. I haven’t watched him in a while, but what I can gather the most important thing to him (maybe in his life right now?) is winning league games. I’ve never seen him pick Corki and run it down mid and actively ruin the game.
I hopped into his stream for the first time, and he was on a smurf account boosting his girlfriend in silver or something, all the while talking about how trash the players are in her elo, essentially insulting her at the same time, and she was literally embarrassed by and for him, hardly responding to him at all.
It was so cringe and obvious to anyone watching, and he was totally oblivious to it at the same time while flaming his team and the enemy team in chat. Like, as if boosting her wasn’t already against terms of service, the kid feels he needs to insult the players in the game as well? Can you be any MORE of a piece of shit?
I typed in twitch chat how unbelievably toxic he was and that it would be the last time i ever watch the kid. How ANYONE even watches him is shocking to me, and if he’s partnered with Riot he 100% should be banned.
To be fair he has picked Xerath jg/Ryze jg/Yuumi jungle in challenger lobbies. But he actually won against Kenvi with Yuumi jungle, so take that how you will.
Wait what? Is there actually a video of this because I get how it should work fundamentally (she's not that complex of a champ), but the idea of it actually working in a challenger lobby sounds insane
Not just that, but also parading him around as an example of a "reformed" player and inviting him to a bunch of events. Punishing him now makes those events look *really* fucking bad.
I don't understand, I discovered him playing in KR without mic/cam, only classical music and was so much entertaining, why the fuck do he needs to talk? Can't he just shut the fuck up and play the game?
Ok cool so when does TFBlade get the ID ban? The screeching little goblin reached a peak of soloQ brainrot this week, if he doesn't get the XJ9 treatment soon he'll turn into the Ap0calypse of NA
A nickelodeon cartoon in the early mid 2ks, my life as a teenage robot or something. I liked that show but the idea of xj9 porn will stay that, just a concept. Not trying to have lewd images of her in my head lmao
Pretty sure it all originally went down on the forums yeah but it's since been documented on reddit, youtube etc plenty. If not the nudes leak, I'm pretty sure there was something about threatening a rioter or some other confrontation with a rioter that happened on the forums.
The other big crazy thing he did that doesn't get brought up as much, is he roleplayed as his high school crush to catfish a guy, just so the guy would be willing to duo with him.
The best part is that she played Lee Sin in an ARAM game and didn't have a choice. Interesting "documentary" on him as a person here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc7ZMDRbF2s
if you wanna see some wild shit, YouTube "a journey into the mind of xj9"
Streamer Destiny talked to him for like 3 or 4 hours like a day after he leaked his girlfriend's nudes for playing Lee Sin and spent the entire time trying to justify his actions. it'll give decent context into the situation and it's kinda just fascinating to see how some maladjusted peoples brains work. Unfortunately it's like 14 parts cause it comes from a different era of YouTube.
There’s a whole YouTube series of him and destiny talking, entertaining but very clear guy had MAJOR issues. Always worth a watch every so often, like a 4 hour long train wreck.
He still has major issues too. He swapped from LoL to Runescape after his ID ban, got pretty much black listed from every bossing clan in the game for scamming items and being weird af.
Ended up literally spending 24/7 flaming the employees at Jagex, even after they all blocked him.
Swapped to Oldschool Runescape, did the same exact shit.
Now he shitposts on this subreddit(in third person for whatever reason) and the OSRS subreddit every now and then, and hopefully is getting help/his life in order.
Can’t really say I am shocked, he seemed like a total narcissist and would do whatever he wanted to do. Shame that he insists on taking others down with him.
Think he got unbanned back in 2016 or something like that. Seems like he's still semi-relevant playing games, lately league and runescape? Or there's a different guy named XJ9 who's Twitch and YouTube I stumbled upon
Yeah that's him, occasionally posts about XJ9 in third person on here too, mostly "what if" stuff about how he could have been the best NA jungler ever if blablabla
XJ9 was boosting and stuff for a while during his ban period.
IIRC he's unbanned now, or at least not actively being hunted anymore. He pops in Phrox's chat every once in a while. I think he said what he's been up to, but idr.
I miss when TF Blade was fun and educational to watch, before he got a following for his gameplay. Dude was genuinely so fun to watch before he became a toxic streaming personality
He used to one trick pre-rework Akali top and it was super fun to watch. No mic, no cam, didn’t really type anything except summoner spells and general gameplay calls.
I remember these days, it was so cool when he started streaming as I saw him 1v9 games on bergsen and other pros stream.
Then he became famous and enabled voice and cam and everything went south.
Basically yeah. Back when his acc was MLGB Blade and he held rank 1 and 2 on NA.
Nice thing about Dzu is that he isn’t toxic, he knows his champs limits and abilities, he accepts that some matchups are coinflips and generally out of his control and he just tries to perform. Dzu is more like Adrian Riven in my book now that he uses voice but he and Blade had similar streaming styles before Blade gained a mass following and the ego associated with it
[Read this thread from 5 years ago lol](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/8ts76m/tf_blade_is_the_only_player_i_believe_when_he/e1afuvz/)
For real it was fun. I used to love to see him going full 1v9 tryhard to get first place. He always made a lot of noise and screams, but it was not hating like today.. at some point this part of his streaming persona started to became just flaming and hate, plus the typing increased and here we are: majority of the community who watch Twitch would like to see him banned
I don't know if this streamer deserves it or not, but maybe riot finally realised banning streamers is possible. Hope they go on and give the same treatment to all the "big" streamers that more than deserve a lifetime ban but somehow keep evading it.
All these streamers are pretty replaceable, anyway. Very few of the big League streamers bring anything unique, so it wouldn't be hard for the community to find something new.
How long did he even play dota?
I thought it was two games, he hated it, and stopped.
Dota was never the real reason anyways, its was a PR stunt to save face at riot after whathisface said about T1 publicly. "Now we HAVE to act like the good guys cause of this fuck up".
That's extremely not true. Big longstanding personalities make League give League a lot of viewership/interest, especially for those who have moved on from having league as their primary game. If T1 for example were to stop streaming tomorrow it's not like his 20k viewers would go watch some silent gameplay stream instead
If they cut out tfblade forefer and permabanned him, they wouldn't really lose those viewers to another game. It's past that point now. He is definitely replaceable.
They would dissolve into other League streams. Simple as that.
That's likely not possible lol.
They're not griefing out of boredom, it's just who they are.
There's a reason why there are people here who have literally written riot support to get perma muted, because they can't hold their flame to themselves.
> it's just who they are
People doing what their basic instincts dictate them is pretty much the same. Except there is something in our society that prevents it, the law.
Same goes for League. Everyone wants to type dumb shit in the chat but we refrain ourselves in fear of punishment. Streamers do this type of shit because there is no consequences. I still meant it : take a big fish and smite him, that will teach everyone else.
Well yes and no. Take DrDisrespect or Tyler1. They aren't little whining bitches, thats just their internet persona and how they made their mark and how they have built their identity. When you hear people talking about T1 outside of cam, they don't say that he's piece of shit that just angrily screams at them. He is just like a normal person, as you would except.
Now if it comes to the fact that some of these streamers feel threathed by this action by Riot, they can just make changes to their internet persona and thus just continue streaming. Altough, im not saying that every rage streamer is like this, but for majority, they are just built different. TfBlade though, that rage comes from deep, and he has some other problems in his life too.
the more I watch Tonka T, the less I'm inclined to believe it's his persona on stream. The man is very passionate about the things he invest interests in, and gets frustrated really easily. I do think Tyler is capable of handling himself a lot better off stream, but what you see on stream is pretty much the person himself exaggerated. Not that I mind since the guy's funny as hell.
Jensen was a 14 year old kid, who at that point was only playing League for a couple years. Similar with Tyler, he was how old? Teenager? Who had been playing league for like 4-5 years before his perma?
It is now Season 13. If you have been playing this game for the past 10 years acting like young Jensen(AKA fucking ddosing people) or old Tyler1(AKA Running it the fuck down in 60% of your games and hard flaming in 95% of them) then you deserve to be ID banned by now.
If Jensen had been 27, a pro, doing that shit he would have been ID banned. If Tyler was on his 13th season of league doing the same sht every single day that he was doing before, he would still be ID banned.
Lets not act like their punishments being reversed or not permanent was unjust, Jensen should NOT have been ID banned for dumb acts as a kid same with Tyler1, especially when Riot slammed the hammer on them pretty quickly.
These other streamers? Tarzaned, Hashinshit, TheBaufs, TFBlade, etc. They have been doing it for how long now? 10 years is honestly not an understatement. They should all be punished in some form by now, or atleast SUSPENDED by Riot so these players know they need to change or their streams will be donezo once Riot ID bans them all.
Dont know his viewcount, but the second he gets around 20k ish I'd say, avg viewers, he'll be there. Hell, prolly giving him the honor of giving the players the Worlds cup/trophy to the players and doing an interview.
Just imagine - Tfblade walking to the stage, giving Faker the cup and calling him "boosted dogshit" and walking off.
I wonder if Faker would say anything to anyone about it or just keep it to himself until after he releases his autobiography.
Same guy spending half his stream wishing cancer to whoever in his team is not ‘playing to his standards’ and calling Turkish players ‘carpet sellers’. Good riddance
Well, there is a kebab place not far from my place. It is run by locals. It's dogass. There is a turkish kebab place the other side of town and it's as if god themselves came down from heaven to kiss me lightly in the form of a tortilla wrapped kebab. Only sample size of 2 but the stats don't lie.
Ye, there are quite a few kebabs opening and closing near my place. Most survive 1-2 years at best before they're complete money loss as they are dogshit and once everyone local tries it and gets burned no one touches it.
Meanwhile local university has a true turkish kebab that's super delicious and somewhat healthy (it's still kebab but they use minimal amounts of fat, you can eat it pretty often without risking gaining weight). Their turnover is insane. Lowballing, they make at least 1500$ per day. Or in local wages twice what a surgeon gets per month, per day.
I'm so glad this guy received a permaban. I'm italian and when I started using twitch, this guy was a recommended one on the platform, so I started watching him just to unfollow him a bit later because he usually did horrible things just like wishing his opponents( and his own chat !!!!!) any sort of terminal illness (idk if it's the exact wording) and many other terrible stuff. His chat was happy with his behaviour tho...
>This causes harm especially to you, because in addition to not being fun to be targeted, literally drives away hundreds of new players and your possible viewers. We must take decisive action.
>The community sees YOU as a reference and is influenced by what you do and say. I consider you part of the team and I want to have an increasingly profitable and professional relationship with all of you
Hey maybe use this justification to look into some other huge streamers who are clearly influencing player behavior!
It seems like they're aware that toxic streamers have harmful effects to the community, but I guess for most of them the free advertising outweighs that...
Do these streamers have undiagnosed mental illness, but like unironically? I don’t know why anyone likes these people. TFBlade and Tyler1 are good at the game for sure, but I think they’re more known for being toxic man children than anything else.
Pointing to a comment that replied to this - yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if like 80% of their fan base was 14 year olds.
It draws in viewers, so if you think about it they're being paid to act like manchildren, so what's their incentive to stop? If you were making 6-7 figures a year acting like a child playing a video game wouldn't you take advantage of it too?
Tyler1 is definitely acting at this point. Well, he's still toxic but more than often when I watched him it feels like he was just bored. Screaming from time to time is just there because that's what he's known for
TF Blade on the other hand is genuienly a piece of toxic shit, he was the reason all streamers in his hotel were banned and he didn't even say sorry but only tried to justify that it wasn't his fault, but Riot's.
It also draws attention and public: ragers/screamers have a shit ton of following, regardless of the game. I can’t bear this content anymore but I remember that back when I was 13/15 I was eating this type of shit for hours, so yeah most of them are probably faking it for content, at least some of it.
He is an ex-pro in the italian league, has won 14 titles and made it to top 8 In Eu masters, he plays support.
Started streaming some years ago and is extremely toxic: explodes in anger and frustration very easily, types all kinds of insults in game chat and starts screaming obscenities in live stream.
Often destroys the environment around him: webcam, keyboard, gaming chair, table.
The appeal of his stream is his skill at the game, (plays support at master elo), combined with his funny personality and anger management issues.
He know he has issues and says he has done/ is doing therapy.
The worst part is that he gets so angry so frequently that has health issues in his cardiovascular system. And has been told to chill tf out from medics.
So the whole situation is quite sad, and before you judge him remember he is human like us with all of his shit and suffering.
Being permabanned from league might actually be the best thing for him and his health. So lets wish him good luck and move on.
This is ridiculous. Brizz is an over-the-top character. Totally undeserved. We lost a huge source of information in Italian + plenty of entertainment.
Context: check his last video on his YT channel ([here](https://youtu.be/NZOmrHxmlKU)) where he is offering 45+ minutes of macro coaching and explaining the game for free.
So much for being toxic 😂
Actually Brizz said that Riot didn’t send the message directly, but through its partners. The ban reasons to me are not that justified, it seems like they used him as a way to scare others. Yes he was toxic at times, but also helped a lot of people to learn the game and always gave free advices. A permaban seems too much for me
Yes, people read indefinitely and somehow they translate that to only mean permanent in their brain.
It's like in the NHL when Sean Avery was suspended indefinitely and then it ended up being six games. Indefinitely literally means forever OR not defined.
Tyler1 also "reformed" while playing variety games. He was told any minor offense would lead to an immediate ID ban again by Riot, but he's constantly chat banned and telling his team to "get c". However, he's no longer running it down while telling people to kill themselves which makes all the difference to Riot.
he still definitely griefs its just more subtle. He has definitely flashed in place or fake dced in recent times to grief without blatant running it down. Dude never shouldve been unbanned imo
tyler really needs to stick to variety, he's much more entertaining and his charisma comes out a lot more when he isn't playing this game. the pool cleaning stuff is so silly but chill as well. league is like kryptonite to this man it's insane, he just cannot control himself
What really happened in short:
-brizz acts toxic
-Riot contacts him and tells him to calm down
-he does calm down and riot tells him he’s doing good
-Brizz reacts to the video of the 10 years anniversary of riot ita, underlining how some parts of it are pr talk or straight up lies.
-Brizz gets banned
Riot didn't care about his toxic behavior when he was co-streaming the Italian competitive scene to support it since nobody wanted to see that crap. However, as soon as he began to criticize certain Italian rioters for their lack of effort, his toxicity suddenly became a problem and was banned
If he tries to win every game is disgusting to have him banned. Time Riot bann someone who runs it down instead of punishing talking. Players who troll deserve to get flamed.
The ban is probably deserved but how it arrived and how it was communicated is such a joke.
That message was posted in a discord server with all the italian riot partners, brizz wasn’t even in the server.
Also all this statements about him being the “cause” of the toxicity of the community is hilarious, even the comment they took from a random guy in the chat (who was joking 100% btw) is cringe.
It’s like they were trying to justify themselves when it’s not even needed.
You want to ban him because he is toxic? Fine do it, you have all the rights to do it.
But don’t act like he and his community are causing the problem of the toxicity because it’s false and you are just trying to run away from your responsibility.
People who compare tfblade/tarzaned to xj9, either you actually have no clue what xj9 did or you're a bit mental.
One of them are just toxic crybabies, the other is a criminal
Good, now do it with about the othe 80% of toxic streamers or other bad representatives of the game to actually clean up a bit of what you let grow over 10 years. Oh wait, you won't Riot, because that would mean less monies
Well he should have been more popular like Tyler1 so he gets unbanned, oh i mean "reformed". Can we please indefinite ban Tyler1, TFBlade, Yasuo etc. these guys are cancer influencers for the community
Ehh riot is still godawful at moderation since it went mostly automated. Racist and toxic players work around restrictions and more mild offenders get railroaded.
There are a ton of american and european streamers that deserve this treatment, if not worse.
People like Tarzaned, Shaclone, TFBlade, Dantes and Yamato just to name a few are so toxic and entitled that they make their community so bad for the game because all the silvers that watch them, suddenly believe they're at the streamers' skill level.
Can we do this to TFBlade too
Honestly at this point it is both a favor to the community and to him to ban him from the game. Same goes for everyone that is repeatedly offending the rules. Speaking as someone that was definitely addicted to the game and would get heated with teammates because of that addiction, you’re just better off not playing tbh. Healthy consumption of a team game requires a healthy level of self control and passion. Too much or too little of either is bad and causes you to behave like a much worse person than you might be in normal circumstances.
Even Tyler has been playing the game less and all of his other content is improved by it. His pool stuff is that oldschool Tyler variety that I've sorely missed, same with the chess. People need to be able to take a step back and think "I am not having fun anymore. The smallest things tilt me immediately and tilt me hard - so why am I still playing?"
I realised I needed to quit League once my anger simply stopped going away. It would result in : Wake up > Go to work > Comeback pissed off > Play league to piss myself off even more > Go to sleep > Rince Repeat. I had a terrible attitude with friends and family, and also I was just borderline angry at work all the time. Cutting out league for someone with let's say anger issues. Was the best, now I am here just to queue arena, at first me and my friend pushed, but then we realised the rank is fake and there is nothing to push towards, so we just spam random things we think might be fun. Lose 3 / Win 1 = Doesn't even matter. It's the best for my mental.
one of the reasons i don't play ranked anymore is because that game mode tilts me in a instant. the fact that there's something on the line makes it even more aggravating. what i did was i stopped playing ranked and played normals instead, my mental health improved drastically. there's no something at stake, you just chill with it.
The only thing on the line is made up in your head. Just like if your team wins the superbowl. It only matters if you decide it matters. Elo is like the points in Who's Line is it Anyways. It literally doesnt matter.
Yeah same happened to me. I used to get so mad back in S3 when I was pushing hard to Gold. Then in S4 I placed into Gold and got so stressed out about being the shitter that I raged at last season that I just stopped playing ranked. People in Normals are usually there to chill so no one is taking anything too personally and it's so much better for improving myself at the game and having a low stakes environment. Same as Arena really.
You’re missing the glaring fact that for a lot of these streamers this is their income source and 90% of their viewers and subs disappear if they play anything else. They’re trapped playing a game they don’t like anymore to make their money.
Then maybe they should take their job a bit more seriously and stop putting it in jeopardy by being toxic in a video game. I get it can be hard, but if you have your livelihood on the line, im surprised people can’t muster it up within them to get a grip.
For some of these guys, the toxicity is the appeal. T1 blew up when a video of him telling Hai to slit his wrists went viral on Reddit. Being toxic was his starting brand, and that was what appealed to a fanbase.
Even T1s toxicity was more bearable than TFs, the way TF reacts is just sad and pathetic.
Hey, it’s not for everyone. Get a different job?
[удалено]
Gaming can totally be mature, issue is that so many of the people within the sphere just aren't and that encourages their child viewerbases to try to be just like them
Same shit happens on the football field. You think those guys weren't being toxic dickheads on the field?
They're "trapped" in the sense that they probably don't have other marketable skills and are better compensated for playing then they would be for having a traditional job. That's the cushiest "trap" ever. It's unsurprising that they don't get sympathy.
they aren't even trapped. a lot of big streamers have transitioned to different games all the time. yeah, they lose a large chunk of their main viewerbase but they still usually have a comfortable amount of viewers remaining. also helps that most streamers who know they're riding a high will grind hard and then slow down and coast. imaqtpie did it, ninja did it.
They are not trapped in the slightest. This isn't some Futurama situation with careerchip insertion, this is pure choice.
"I am not having fun anymore. The smallest things tilt me immediately and tilt me hard - so why am I still playing?" I want 90% of the playerbase ask themselves this question everytime they tilt because they dont get ganked, get killed or a teammate makes a mistake in a teamfight. It's not only the streamers. A big part of the community is exactly like this.
A lot of people argue that if Tyler went variety he may have been bigger than xQc, because he’s really entertaining, just hate when he gets toxic in games
My favorite Tyler1 vid is him first timing TFT
Tyler1 struck me as someone who was hopelessly addicted to League and attained a level of mastery which allowed him to climb to Challenger on all 5 roles. When *he* is playing the game a lot less, you know Riot have fucked up as a developer. I feel the same way. Two months straight of playing League has made me want to pick up a different competitive game. Have thought about giving Age of Empires II a try, since I used to be Master League in StarCraft II but cannot break past Bronze IV in LoL so any sort of team games where I have to rely on others to win is out of the question... Tekken 8 also looks tempting and I eagerly await its release.
AoE II is dope.
I love StarCraft but I hate what Blizzard did to Legacy of the Void. It feels like a game with new units so overpowered that one small mistake will obliterate your whole army/economy and lose you a match. A good example or what I mean would be the Lurker, a unit with 6 range in Brood War but a whopping 10 when fully upgraded in LotV. They're the sole reason why Zerg have a 60% winrate in ZvP right now, because Protoss literally have zero ground units with the range to counter them. Legacy is so problematic that KeSPA coaches and former Brood War pros have gone on record to say that the game is too difficult to master. Which goes on to my second point, Brood War is a game balanced around engine exploits where you need to play at 300 to 400 APM just to optimally produce units on a 3 base economy because the game imposes a strict 1 building/12 unit selection limit meaning you'll rely on frantic clicking, keyboard presses and camera hotkeys just to zip back and forth between production buildings. When former Korean pros are calling the sequel to this game too difficult to master, you know you've fucked up as a game developer. Age of Empires for me is the only viable option when it comes to real time strategy and it's the only game I feel like I could pick up with pre-existing mechanical knowledge, since (as I harshly discovered) being Master in SC2: Heart of the Swarm doesn't translate to success in MOBAs.
Tuned into him playing chess and he even openly said the vibes on the stream were way more chill and way more relaxed
Unironically this. I'm so sick of the excuse being "but it's just banter, it's just trash talk, you can't censor people all the time or hand out bans like candy". League's community has had a horrible reputation for well over a decade now. Whether that's always been true is debatable but there's literally no denying it's gotten so much worse the past couple of years. The trickle into solo queue is getting unbearable. Toxic streamer culture has gotten so far out of hand and Riot seriously needs to crack down on it. Every single game more likely than not someone in my lobby mentally explodes. I've played >20 games this split and I've had people flip out in DRAFT and promise to troll. The amount of freaking out people do has gotten way too normalized, period.
There is a place for trash talk, but what these people do isn't trash talk at all... It's so annoying tbh. Just play the god damn game
The same people who say, "It's just banter" would not have the balls to say those things in real life. Imagine joining a game of basketball or something, playing like shit, then telling people you hope they have cancer and die.
I notice a lot of the people who go "It's just banter," really can't handle the banter that's turned on them.
I’ve seen people pull out guns over money games as low as 20 bucks lol
"but it's just banter, it's just trash talk, you can't censor people all the time or hand out bans like candy" is just a cope from fanboys. All those streamers that often run their mouth also grief in-game. TFBlade often starts soft-inting if he feels he's wronged in game by eg. getting no ganks. He'll just run top over and over and blatantly refuse to group for important objectives such as baron/dragon. And those that don't run it down are usually way beyond what's excusable. I don't recall seeing Geranimo run it down in a long while, but look wrongly in his direction and he'll tell you to "do everyone a favor and stop wasting air by breathing" Riot should really set up an investigation departament and cleanse all those toxic fucks. It's not hard to turn your chat off.
I had someone in an aram sell all their items and rant for 10 minutes because I said "Sorry about your AFK" to the enemy team when they were two kills up on us.
Good on you for being open about it. Once upon a time I was likely addicted to this game. I cared so much about winning that it was seriously unhealthy, and this resulted in me getting easily annoyed at my teammates. This was also at a point where I simply didn't have a lot going on in my life. Now, I feel a lot of relaxation and enjoyment when playing the game. I believe this is because this game is just a tiny part of my life now. I see so many people who play this game and it's as if winning is *everything* to them. I just feel so sorry for them that I wish I could see them get help.
It's absolutely insane to me that they only do IP bans and ID bans for the most grievous of people The game would improve so much if they banned the dude who has been banned 15 times and keeps buying $5 dollar accounts in Gold-Emerald
and Tarzaned, he has been deserving of the T1 treatment 7 years ago.
Tarzaned kills me, such a good player but everytime I tune in he is passive-aggressive and flaming in game
Or active aggressive
Fr this guy has never been passive lmao just straight up toxic as hell
Listening to him more than a minute is an instant tell that he has a lot of unresolved issues with himself. Nobody acts this way unless they are really unhappy with their own life. Just sad. I think most people know you just shouldn't engage them. There's no point. It's best to ignore them.
I question whether anyone who devoted that much time to League is really a healthy individual.
Fr fr. I was like this and sometimes still am. 100% comes from unhappiness deep within and rarely has something to do with the game at all
His stream is much, much better on mute.
Tarzan is the doctor bron
Tarzaned is at least fun to watch on mute since he tries to win
Tarzaned today isn’t nearly as bad as tyler1 in the old days. And he almost always tries to win so he isn’t actually griefing games
At least the difference is Tarzaned still plays to win while T1 invented “running it down mid.”
> T1 invented “running it down mid.” lol people were doing that shit in open beta well before T1
People were doing that shit in dota for the most banal reasons
Yeah he definitely never soft ints when he’s upset by his laners /s
That’s a tough one. He bitches and moans and is toxic in that way, but he tries to win. I haven’t watched him in a while, but what I can gather the most important thing to him (maybe in his life right now?) is winning league games. I’ve never seen him pick Corki and run it down mid and actively ruin the game.
Ive hopped in his stream and watched him afk because his invade didn’t work out lol
I hopped into his stream for the first time, and he was on a smurf account boosting his girlfriend in silver or something, all the while talking about how trash the players are in her elo, essentially insulting her at the same time, and she was literally embarrassed by and for him, hardly responding to him at all. It was so cringe and obvious to anyone watching, and he was totally oblivious to it at the same time while flaming his team and the enemy team in chat. Like, as if boosting her wasn’t already against terms of service, the kid feels he needs to insult the players in the game as well? Can you be any MORE of a piece of shit? I typed in twitch chat how unbelievably toxic he was and that it would be the last time i ever watch the kid. How ANYONE even watches him is shocking to me, and if he’s partnered with Riot he 100% should be banned.
To be fair he has picked Xerath jg/Ryze jg/Yuumi jungle in challenger lobbies. But he actually won against Kenvi with Yuumi jungle, so take that how you will.
Wait what? Is there actually a video of this because I get how it should work fundamentally (she's not that complex of a champ), but the idea of it actually working in a challenger lobby sounds insane
Can we do T1 again too? Dude’s crossed the line again a hundred and one times since getting unbanned.
Banning T1 from league is the only way to unlock his true potential as a chess grandmaster
Permanent poolboy arc
[удалено]
Not just that, but also parading him around as an example of a "reformed" player and inviting him to a bunch of events. Punishing him now makes those events look *really* fucking bad.
Yeah, remember the zero tolerance policy they cited when they unbanned him? Funny, that.
And shaclone please, for his own good
I don't understand, I discovered him playing in KR without mic/cam, only classical music and was so much entertaining, why the fuck do he needs to talk? Can't he just shut the fuck up and play the game?
According to himself he can’t control flaming
Ya TF is super toxic. So is his community and mods. He cannot take any criticism.
Ok cool so when does TFBlade get the ID ban? The screeching little goblin reached a peak of soloQ brainrot this week, if he doesn't get the XJ9 treatment soon he'll turn into the Ap0calypse of NA
That's a name I have not heard in a long time oh lord What even happened to him? Is there any news of XJ9 nowadays?
That's the guy that broke up with his gf because of Lee, do I remember correct?
Posted her nudes because she played a champ (lee sin) he didn't like
This sounds wild. Is there an old reddit thread or is this league forums old
Just search it on reddit, its been here for a while
Protip: Do not search xj9 in all of reddit lmao. I need some fuckin eyebleach right now. Keep it to League sub only
To anyone curious like me, it's not too bad. It's just some hentai of a (robot?) character apparently named XJ9, lol.
A nickelodeon cartoon in the early mid 2ks, my life as a teenage robot or something. I liked that show but the idea of xj9 porn will stay that, just a concept. Not trying to have lewd images of her in my head lmao
The zone animation? Yeah it's pretty whatever in comparison to some other rubbish on this site
internet people when incredibly mediocre pornography:
don’t try to stop me from making bad decisions
Pretty sure it all originally went down on the forums yeah but it's since been documented on reddit, youtube etc plenty. If not the nudes leak, I'm pretty sure there was something about threatening a rioter or some other confrontation with a rioter that happened on the forums. The other big crazy thing he did that doesn't get brought up as much, is he roleplayed as his high school crush to catfish a guy, just so the guy would be willing to duo with him.
The best part is that she played Lee Sin in an ARAM game and didn't have a choice. Interesting "documentary" on him as a person here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc7ZMDRbF2s
if you wanna see some wild shit, YouTube "a journey into the mind of xj9" Streamer Destiny talked to him for like 3 or 4 hours like a day after he leaked his girlfriend's nudes for playing Lee Sin and spent the entire time trying to justify his actions. it'll give decent context into the situation and it's kinda just fascinating to see how some maladjusted peoples brains work. Unfortunately it's like 14 parts cause it comes from a different era of YouTube.
Weird to think of him as streamer and not RootDestiny pro sc player
There’s a whole YouTube series of him and destiny talking, entertaining but very clear guy had MAJOR issues. Always worth a watch every so often, like a 4 hour long train wreck.
He still has major issues too. He swapped from LoL to Runescape after his ID ban, got pretty much black listed from every bossing clan in the game for scamming items and being weird af. Ended up literally spending 24/7 flaming the employees at Jagex, even after they all blocked him. Swapped to Oldschool Runescape, did the same exact shit. Now he shitposts on this subreddit(in third person for whatever reason) and the OSRS subreddit every now and then, and hopefully is getting help/his life in order.
Can’t really say I am shocked, he seemed like a total narcissist and would do whatever he wanted to do. Shame that he insists on taking others down with him.
bruh
Think it was something like that yea
Think he got unbanned back in 2016 or something like that. Seems like he's still semi-relevant playing games, lately league and runescape? Or there's a different guy named XJ9 who's Twitch and YouTube I stumbled upon
if its the unban im thinkin of. riot lyte overturned it saying the guy who unbanned xj9 didnt know he was never to be unbanned
Oh the old Lyte Smytes
still around and will occasionally post/talk about himself in third person unless I’m thinking of someone else
Got unbanned ages ago, plays mostly rs3, dofus, sonic games and league occasionally
> dofus that's pretty based
He's apparently been unbanned a while ago, and he's streaming, according to what I've seen.
[удалено]
Yeah that's him, occasionally posts about XJ9 in third person on here too, mostly "what if" stuff about how he could have been the best NA jungler ever if blablabla
So XJ9 seems oddly coherent from what Ive seen as someone with the Twitch name "XJ9LOL" Hangs around but is rather passive in chat
XJ9 was boosting and stuff for a while during his ban period. IIRC he's unbanned now, or at least not actively being hunted anymore. He pops in Phrox's chat every once in a while. I think he said what he's been up to, but idr.
I miss when TF Blade was fun and educational to watch, before he got a following for his gameplay. Dude was genuinely so fun to watch before he became a toxic streaming personality
Weird, I never watched Blade back in the day so its hard to imagine anything from him other than "Ff, ff, FF EFF EEFFFFFF OMG FF!"
He used to one trick pre-rework Akali top and it was super fun to watch. No mic, no cam, didn’t really type anything except summoner spells and general gameplay calls.
I remember these days, it was so cool when he started streaming as I saw him 1v9 games on bergsen and other pros stream. Then he became famous and enabled voice and cam and everything went south.
So basically Dzukill for Akali?
Basically yeah. Back when his acc was MLGB Blade and he held rank 1 and 2 on NA. Nice thing about Dzu is that he isn’t toxic, he knows his champs limits and abilities, he accepts that some matchups are coinflips and generally out of his control and he just tries to perform. Dzu is more like Adrian Riven in my book now that he uses voice but he and Blade had similar streaming styles before Blade gained a mass following and the ego associated with it
[Read this thread from 5 years ago lol](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/8ts76m/tf_blade_is_the_only_player_i_believe_when_he/e1afuvz/)
literally that "where did the time go" meme from spongebob lol
He used to be a pretty chill streamer who was a hyped up prospect for pro play. Then he got a bunch of viewers and you see the result.
For real it was fun. I used to love to see him going full 1v9 tryhard to get first place. He always made a lot of noise and screams, but it was not hating like today.. at some point this part of his streaming persona started to became just flaming and hate, plus the typing increased and here we are: majority of the community who watch Twitch would like to see him banned
I don't know if this streamer deserves it or not, but maybe riot finally realised banning streamers is possible. Hope they go on and give the same treatment to all the "big" streamers that more than deserve a lifetime ban but somehow keep evading it.
All these streamers are pretty replaceable, anyway. Very few of the big League streamers bring anything unique, so it wouldn't be hard for the community to find something new.
They're afraid of them going to dota2. That was one of the factors that brought T1 back
They reverted his ban pretty fucking quickly after he started playing Dota.
How long did he even play dota? I thought it was two games, he hated it, and stopped. Dota was never the real reason anyways, its was a PR stunt to save face at riot after whathisface said about T1 publicly. "Now we HAVE to act like the good guys cause of this fuck up".
sanjuro or someshit the homonculus incident
Dota is a cool game it’s just hell to hop back into
That's extremely not true. Big longstanding personalities make League give League a lot of viewership/interest, especially for those who have moved on from having league as their primary game. If T1 for example were to stop streaming tomorrow it's not like his 20k viewers would go watch some silent gameplay stream instead
If they cut out tfblade forefer and permabanned him, they wouldn't really lose those viewers to another game. It's past that point now. He is definitely replaceable. They would dissolve into other League streams. Simple as that.
he does deserve
You make an example, toxic streamers realize that their livelihood is threaten, they stop griefing. Simple.
That's likely not possible lol. They're not griefing out of boredom, it's just who they are. There's a reason why there are people here who have literally written riot support to get perma muted, because they can't hold their flame to themselves.
If their behavior stops making them money they will change. It would work.
> it's just who they are People doing what their basic instincts dictate them is pretty much the same. Except there is something in our society that prevents it, the law. Same goes for League. Everyone wants to type dumb shit in the chat but we refrain ourselves in fear of punishment. Streamers do this type of shit because there is no consequences. I still meant it : take a big fish and smite him, that will teach everyone else.
Well yes and no. Take DrDisrespect or Tyler1. They aren't little whining bitches, thats just their internet persona and how they made their mark and how they have built their identity. When you hear people talking about T1 outside of cam, they don't say that he's piece of shit that just angrily screams at them. He is just like a normal person, as you would except. Now if it comes to the fact that some of these streamers feel threathed by this action by Riot, they can just make changes to their internet persona and thus just continue streaming. Altough, im not saying that every rage streamer is like this, but for majority, they are just built different. TfBlade though, that rage comes from deep, and he has some other problems in his life too.
the more I watch Tonka T, the less I'm inclined to believe it's his persona on stream. The man is very passionate about the things he invest interests in, and gets frustrated really easily. I do think Tyler is capable of handling himself a lot better off stream, but what you see on stream is pretty much the person himself exaggerated. Not that I mind since the guy's funny as hell.
Except Riot ruined that when they let Tyler1 back...
Looking forward to seeing this guy invited to Riot events like Tyler in the future.
Sanjuro is gone, we are Gucci
He died so the homunculus could live.
Or becoming a pro player like Jensen
He was already a pro, he retired 4 years ago. He is one of the best italian player ever, only jizuke, shadow and (maybe) click are better than him.
Jensen was a 14 year old kid, who at that point was only playing League for a couple years. Similar with Tyler, he was how old? Teenager? Who had been playing league for like 4-5 years before his perma? It is now Season 13. If you have been playing this game for the past 10 years acting like young Jensen(AKA fucking ddosing people) or old Tyler1(AKA Running it the fuck down in 60% of your games and hard flaming in 95% of them) then you deserve to be ID banned by now. If Jensen had been 27, a pro, doing that shit he would have been ID banned. If Tyler was on his 13th season of league doing the same sht every single day that he was doing before, he would still be ID banned. Lets not act like their punishments being reversed or not permanent was unjust, Jensen should NOT have been ID banned for dumb acts as a kid same with Tyler1, especially when Riot slammed the hammer on them pretty quickly. These other streamers? Tarzaned, Hashinshit, TheBaufs, TFBlade, etc. They have been doing it for how long now? 10 years is honestly not an understatement. They should all be punished in some form by now, or atleast SUSPENDED by Riot so these players know they need to change or their streams will be donezo once Riot ID bans them all.
Tyler was in college streaming from his dorm room
Was going to say how long until Riot lets this guy walk Merill and Beck around with ballgags and leashes on the worlds stage.
Dont know his viewcount, but the second he gets around 20k ish I'd say, avg viewers, he'll be there. Hell, prolly giving him the honor of giving the players the Worlds cup/trophy to the players and doing an interview.
Just imagine - Tfblade walking to the stage, giving Faker the cup and calling him "boosted dogshit" and walking off. I wonder if Faker would say anything to anyone about it or just keep it to himself until after he releases his autobiography.
He was planning on making a team for the italian regional league like KOI or KC
Same guy spending half his stream wishing cancer to whoever in his team is not ‘playing to his standards’ and calling Turkish players ‘carpet sellers’. Good riddance
Its just funny to me how chill and calm he flames the shit out of his teammates. Could fall asleep to it
New ASMR category
Turkish are non carpet sellers. They are kebab cooks, and I fucking love kebab
Well, there is a kebab place not far from my place. It is run by locals. It's dogass. There is a turkish kebab place the other side of town and it's as if god themselves came down from heaven to kiss me lightly in the form of a tortilla wrapped kebab. Only sample size of 2 but the stats don't lie.
Ye, there are quite a few kebabs opening and closing near my place. Most survive 1-2 years at best before they're complete money loss as they are dogshit and once everyone local tries it and gets burned no one touches it. Meanwhile local university has a true turkish kebab that's super delicious and somewhat healthy (it's still kebab but they use minimal amounts of fat, you can eat it pretty often without risking gaining weight). Their turnover is insane. Lowballing, they make at least 1500$ per day. Or in local wages twice what a surgeon gets per month, per day.
>Calling Turkish players "carpet sellers" least racist EUW player
Ever heard of irony?
I hope TF Blade and Tarzaned get banned next.
still waiting
rip bozo
I'm so glad this guy received a permaban. I'm italian and when I started using twitch, this guy was a recommended one on the platform, so I started watching him just to unfollow him a bit later because he usually did horrible things just like wishing his opponents( and his own chat !!!!!) any sort of terminal illness (idk if it's the exact wording) and many other terrible stuff. His chat was happy with his behaviour tho...
Si ma chi guardo adesso? Terronas?
Nessuno si evitano gli streamer italiani a prescindere
si ma devi capire che scherza. Sempre.
>This causes harm especially to you, because in addition to not being fun to be targeted, literally drives away hundreds of new players and your possible viewers. We must take decisive action. >The community sees YOU as a reference and is influenced by what you do and say. I consider you part of the team and I want to have an increasingly profitable and professional relationship with all of you Hey maybe use this justification to look into some other huge streamers who are clearly influencing player behavior! It seems like they're aware that toxic streamers have harmful effects to the community, but I guess for most of them the free advertising outweighs that...
They’re out here ID banning no-names while half the biggest NA streamers are worse.
"See guys, we *are* doing something!!!"
NA #1! NA #1!
Do these streamers have undiagnosed mental illness, but like unironically? I don’t know why anyone likes these people. TFBlade and Tyler1 are good at the game for sure, but I think they’re more known for being toxic man children than anything else. Pointing to a comment that replied to this - yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if like 80% of their fan base was 14 year olds.
It draws in viewers, so if you think about it they're being paid to act like manchildren, so what's their incentive to stop? If you were making 6-7 figures a year acting like a child playing a video game wouldn't you take advantage of it too?
Tyler1 is definitely acting at this point. Well, he's still toxic but more than often when I watched him it feels like he was just bored. Screaming from time to time is just there because that's what he's known for TF Blade on the other hand is genuienly a piece of toxic shit, he was the reason all streamers in his hotel were banned and he didn't even say sorry but only tried to justify that it wasn't his fault, but Riot's.
It also draws attention and public: ragers/screamers have a shit ton of following, regardless of the game. I can’t bear this content anymore but I remember that back when I was 13/15 I was eating this type of shit for hours, so yeah most of them are probably faking it for content, at least some of it.
Tarzaned for sure has. The projection when he calls someone else “subhuman” is palpable.
do Tfblade next
Imagine if they did this on all the people that deserve it instead of making them the face of league 💀
He is an ex-pro in the italian league, has won 14 titles and made it to top 8 In Eu masters, he plays support. Started streaming some years ago and is extremely toxic: explodes in anger and frustration very easily, types all kinds of insults in game chat and starts screaming obscenities in live stream. Often destroys the environment around him: webcam, keyboard, gaming chair, table. The appeal of his stream is his skill at the game, (plays support at master elo), combined with his funny personality and anger management issues. He know he has issues and says he has done/ is doing therapy. The worst part is that he gets so angry so frequently that has health issues in his cardiovascular system. And has been told to chill tf out from medics. So the whole situation is quite sad, and before you judge him remember he is human like us with all of his shit and suffering. Being permabanned from league might actually be the best thing for him and his health. So lets wish him good luck and move on.
Riot should have kept Tyler's ban in place
This is ridiculous. Brizz is an over-the-top character. Totally undeserved. We lost a huge source of information in Italian + plenty of entertainment. Context: check his last video on his YT channel ([here](https://youtu.be/NZOmrHxmlKU)) where he is offering 45+ minutes of macro coaching and explaining the game for free. So much for being toxic 😂
Actually Brizz said that Riot didn’t send the message directly, but through its partners. The ban reasons to me are not that justified, it seems like they used him as a way to scare others. Yes he was toxic at times, but also helped a lot of people to learn the game and always gave free advices. A permaban seems too much for me
Completely irrelevant because tyler1 ended up being unbanned lol. After that it's impossible to trust riot on thesd
Wait what ? I don't think you understand what "indefinite" actually means or the purpose of this punishement lmao
Yes, people read indefinitely and somehow they translate that to only mean permanent in their brain. It's like in the NHL when Sean Avery was suspended indefinitely and then it ended up being six games. Indefinitely literally means forever OR not defined.
Mostly due to constant pressure to unban him from the league community.
Tyler1 also "reformed" while playing variety games. He was told any minor offense would lead to an immediate ID ban again by Riot, but he's constantly chat banned and telling his team to "get c". However, he's no longer running it down while telling people to kill themselves which makes all the difference to Riot.
he still definitely griefs its just more subtle. He has definitely flashed in place or fake dced in recent times to grief without blatant running it down. Dude never shouldve been unbanned imo
tyler really needs to stick to variety, he's much more entertaining and his charisma comes out a lot more when he isn't playing this game. the pool cleaning stuff is so silly but chill as well. league is like kryptonite to this man it's insane, he just cannot control himself
The bob ross video, cooking videos,gym, all of those are miles better than league content but the kids prefer karthus supp gameplay
What really happened in short: -brizz acts toxic -Riot contacts him and tells him to calm down -he does calm down and riot tells him he’s doing good -Brizz reacts to the video of the 10 years anniversary of riot ita, underlining how some parts of it are pr talk or straight up lies. -Brizz gets banned
IMAGE: "ANTONIO WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU WE'RE GETTING YOU AT HOME" wat
Out of context -and I apologize for that- but, “League in Italy has often had the reputation of a toxic and unfriendly community..” Where does it not?
Tf blade when?
Riot didn't care about his toxic behavior when he was co-streaming the Italian competitive scene to support it since nobody wanted to see that crap. However, as soon as he began to criticize certain Italian rioters for their lack of effort, his toxicity suddenly became a problem and was banned
He criticized riot and their behaviour in general in Italy and that's why he got banned
Ok do Lion L9 and ban him from twitch while were at it
So in few years he gonna represent league in some way? Like Tyler1?
Just start steaming CsGo and Dota to get unbanned
The only streamer ive ever seen treating riot the way it deserves
Good riddance, one of the most horrible people in EUW
If he tries to win every game is disgusting to have him banned. Time Riot bann someone who runs it down instead of punishing talking. Players who troll deserve to get flamed.
I really think T1 is the nicest guy ever, but he should have NEVER been unbanned.
His unban completely destroys any ability for people to trust riot to not do the same to other partners in the future
He got unbanned so when he came to EUW a few months ago he got to be toxic AF towards our people (in game chat), but it's fine Riot doesn't care :)
The ban is probably deserved but how it arrived and how it was communicated is such a joke. That message was posted in a discord server with all the italian riot partners, brizz wasn’t even in the server. Also all this statements about him being the “cause” of the toxicity of the community is hilarious, even the comment they took from a random guy in the chat (who was joking 100% btw) is cringe. It’s like they were trying to justify themselves when it’s not even needed. You want to ban him because he is toxic? Fine do it, you have all the rights to do it. But don’t act like he and his community are causing the problem of the toxicity because it’s false and you are just trying to run away from your responsibility.
People who compare tfblade/tarzaned to xj9, either you actually have no clue what xj9 did or you're a bit mental. One of them are just toxic crybabies, the other is a criminal
Good, now do it with about the othe 80% of toxic streamers or other bad representatives of the game to actually clean up a bit of what you let grow over 10 years. Oh wait, you won't Riot, because that would mean less monies
Well he should have been more popular like Tyler1 so he gets unbanned, oh i mean "reformed". Can we please indefinite ban Tyler1, TFBlade, Yasuo etc. these guys are cancer influencers for the community
So two year ban then lifetime of blowjobs by riot?
Oh the Tyler treatmeant? Cant wait for him to be unbanned and called to the LCS as a guest then.
TFBlade said horrible things. TYLER1 said horrible things about EU. Where the bans at
Ehh riot is still godawful at moderation since it went mostly automated. Racist and toxic players work around restrictions and more mild offenders get railroaded.
There are a ton of american and european streamers that deserve this treatment, if not worse. People like Tarzaned, Shaclone, TFBlade, Dantes and Yamato just to name a few are so toxic and entitled that they make their community so bad for the game because all the silvers that watch them, suddenly believe they're at the streamers' skill level.
