T1 got "unbanned," can I get unbanned too?

HalcyonDweller··40 votes·8,507 views

If you don't want people to post stupid questions like this multiple times a day then stop calling the policy an "unban."

People are going to see that we are calling it an "unban" and assume that means his accounts got unbanned. They are going to ask this very question, and it is going to annoy us to no end. So don't call it an "unban" call it what it is instead. It is a revoked policy of banning on sight.

Then riot shouldn't have called it the banning of Tyler1, sadly. While I agree, the confusion is understandable given everything.

I agree. I wish that they would not have called it that. It's going to make things complicated and annoying on the boards for at least the next week or so.

He gets special privileges because he is a streamer and could make Riot money Meanwhile the rest of the people who get banned don't get the opportunity, because they don't stream and cry about how "reformed" they are on the daily

It's not special privileges, it is the removal of a special ban. Regular players do not receive this sort of ban in the first place because a normal person isn't as fucked up and selfish as T1.

And he's not getting his banned accounts back anyway, the only thing that has changed is that now when Riot discovers that an account is his they don't instantly ban it.

hi im seb1 votes

his ban was never permanent, so i dont see any privileges

Riot said on the first day of his INDEFINITE ban, that they would remove it as soon as they found him reformed

sorry for bad english

Honestly though they shouldnt be unbanning him since anyone else that gets banned wont get special treatment Also anyone that asks for an unban isnt quite right in the head

Who is this anyone else you're talking about? Tyler1 is the only person in the history of League to be banned from making new accounts, so there isn't really anyone else who could be getting special treatment.

for a good reason, the guy made money by behaving against the code of conduct.

Lucario56231 votes

Not true. C9 Jensen was also banned from making accounts. Look up ID banning

Adama4 votes

He isn't getting special treatment either do you seriously not understand?

Everyone is allowed to make a new account after being permanently banned. Tyler just got banned so often, even that privelige got revoked.

That LAST part is gone now. He is allowed to make a new account again.

You have no evidence of anyone being ID banned and never allowed back in so your claims are COMPLETELY false.

THERE IS NO UNBAN. He simply won't get banned on sight anymore.

Holy crap, are you thick-headed, mate?

If you unban that trash then EVERY single account deserves being unbanned. He can get a free account from any viewer so specific accounts isnt a thing. Where as we normal people can't. Also he was the utmost piece of shit there was. This is nothing but a Pr he brings us in $$$ move.

He wasn't unbanned though, he's not getting any of his permanently banned accounts back. Riot is just stopping their policy of immediately permabanning any league account they discover to belong to him.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe Riot isn't giving Tyler1 another chance for financial motivations? Maybe it was because a rather large part of the community continually vouched for his reformation, and requested that he be given consideration. Riot does listen to what it's players want. Whether it's a new type of champion, nerfs to a specific champion, features in the client, and maybe even just giving a very popular streamer one last chance. Sure, in the beginning, right after his ID ban, it was a bit of a meme and a joke, and I don't think anyone took it seriously. But over the last 6 months or so, Tyler1 himself has done some genuinely decent things in game, and when respected members of the LoL community begin to vouch for him, maybe Riot listened.

I actually want to see all the banned players unbanned because I don't get why future prison trash can go and get back his account just because he behaves like prison trash on twitch and so has his equals in adoration and support.

Who ever said that he'll be getting his accounts back, please try to read more carefully next time.

Umm, excuse me? That is "whataboutism." And that is a really stupid argument (not you, the argument).

Just because some other people did something wrong does not make it okay that one other person also did something wrong.

That's like saying Hitler wasn't that bad of a dude because Stalin's policies killed more people.

You can still be toxic and not be as toxic as another person.

he didnt actually get any accounts unbanned, he just has privileges to play league publicly without getting banned instantly. he gets no accounts back

Exactly, but people aren't using language that conveys that. People are using language that is usually reserved for account suspension. IE: "ban" and "unban"

the correct term would be an "indefinite ban"

HalcyonDweller1 votes

yes, or "ID ban/unban"

Modi3 votes

No, the correct term per Riot Tantram is ID Ban as in Identity Ban.

Read the content of the post buddy. I'm not a banned player. I'm pointing out the problem with calling t1's status change an "unban."

Elohaven3 votes

No, unban is the correct term. He was ID banned. . People are just dumb, not knowing ID bans aren't account bans.

Edit: Got the correction.

Modi4 votes

He was not IP banned, he was ID banned. Any account found to be his (regardless if he was playing on the same IP or not) would be banned.

Thank you for posting this, I honestly don't know why they used the term "unbanned". Riot didn't like the idea of him portraying toxicity through their game, via running it down mid, flaming, etc. They're really close with Twitch.tv so they requested to ban his STREAM on sight if they caught him playing League. His accounts didn't get "unbanned", he's getting his streaming privileges back.

yeah, just trying to prevent the boards from getting flooded by either stupid people or smug assholes who think it's funny to waste people's time by asking for their permabanned accounts to be given back to them.

Radio Daddy1 votes

Did they really? I never knew you could ask something like that from Twitch, then again I don't know much about Twitch anyways. #Respect

That is irrelevant, this thread is not about whether T1 deserved or didn't deserve his punishments. Also, being entertaining does not excuse somebody from being an asshat at other people's expense. People such as the players who's games he ruined by inting.

He didn't get his account unbanned. He is just now allowed to make a new account in the same way that you are.

Even if Riot doesn't call it unbanned, the community will still hop on that jargon.

Look at what is still the discussions with "bot lane" vs "marksmen" vs "adc".

Did you read the content of the post? The point was that the post title is a stupid question.

Riot isn't playing favorites, his banned accounts have not been unbanned, he will never get them back, just like other players who have permabanned accounts will never get those accounts back either.
