Okay so...there was a Reddit post saying TRM was "toxic", and an accompanying link to him losing a game. Within a couple of hours, all of his accounts were being banned simply for him logging into them, aka "the Tyler1 treatment".
What's up with a torches-and-pitchforks session on Reddit determining whether a player is allowed to have any accounts on League? Is this what players can expect from Riot? The mob determines who is allowed to play League? Whatever happened to "no naming and shaming"? How is this behavior from Riot consistent with that stated policy? Edit: Also, how is TRM being singled out and omni-banned, when Kaceytron, Nicktron, Blem, and others are all still playing League of Legends, and behaving far worse than TRM ever did?

If this did indeed just happen recently, give it a bit. Riot has to gather their staff and draw straws to see who posts this one and gets flamed to oblivion by angry fanboys.

I think they issue a player ban publicly. Are you sure his accounts weren't just banned normally by the system by coincidence? Could use some more information on this before approaching it as if he was banned from the game like tyler1.

As a TRM fan, I can admit he 100% deserved to be punished for the shit I've seen him do over the years. The thing that really irks me is that it took a reddit post for it to happen. I thought League had great in game detection? If they couldn't catch him with in game systems, the systems frankly fucking suck. He has intentionally fed countless times, been toxic beyond belief, I'm inclined to believe he has purchased an account or two, yet within 25 minutes of a youtube video being posted on Reddit he gets banned. Riot honestly really sucks.

All his accounts were banned within minutes. Even the one he never uses on stream.

You don't know the whole story. When they perma ban all his accounts there'll be a reason for it.

HE RUNS DOWN LANE ON A LIVE STREAM, FORMER LCS PLAYER. HE DESERVES HIS BAN JUST LIKE TYLER1 - THEY ARE NOT WELCOME TO PLAY THE GAME IF THEY ARE RUINING THE EXPERIENCE FOR OTHER PLAYERS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SIMPLE. STOP FOLLOWING BAD ROLE MODELS

Well when shit kids are in your game, there should be a way out, like why am i forced to play a game i know im not going to enjoy, the whole point of a video game is to enjoy it not feel like you are trapped because shit kids dont know how to play

Don't forget how toxic players are to kacey tron in her games I have seen it...

If she is intentionally trolling she deserves to be punished, or Intentional feeding obviously will get punished.

Sucking isn't a reason to get punished and I watched a couple of her videos before where players would just flame and she didn't mute them which created a negative game very much.

I get the same shit in some of my games from others and /mute them I can't mute the annoying ping spammers though.
