While the ban prevented Tyler from streaming League live (since that would immediately alert Riot to the account he was using and get it banned) there was never any pretense that the ID level ban was actually preventing him from playing. His Sisyphean plight has made him a legend among trolls, although he has been proclaiming himself “reformed” and has campaigned to get his ban lifted. Riot notices him when he emerges near the top, bans the account, and then he gets a new account and starts over at the bottom. Tyler has since become an outlaw in League of Legends he makes new accounts, and climbs through League’s ranked ladder. This kind of sanction is extremely rare only five people in the game’s history have been hit with ID bans. Riot responded with the ID ban, which meant any account Riot discovered Tyler using would be banned on sight. Tyler leaned into his infamy, branding himself “the most toxic player in North America.” He started throwing games and raging on stream to entertain his fans.

He rose from relative obscurity after a professional player called him out on a widely-viewed stream for his toxicity. He also had a very bad temper, and was prone to attacking people in chat and intentionally losing games to spite his teammates. You can read my long-form piece from last year explaining the Tyler1 phenomenon in detail, but here’s a quick summary: Tyler1 was a top player on the North American League of Legends ranked ladder. He showed up for his inaugural stream dressed in homemade cosplay of his favorite champion, Draven, and also a Wonder Woman tiara.Īnd he immediately broke the Twitch record for the most simultaneous viewers. Notorious League of Legends streamer Tyler1 returned to authorized play on Monday, Jan 8, 2018, after Riot Games lifted the extraordinary ID ban it imposed on him in April, 2016.
