Only the League of Legends community would complain about Tyler1 being banned. The man deserved it 100%.

I seriously don't get it. Why would people defend someone who is EXTREMELY toxic, intentionally trolls if he doesn't get
or anything that he wants? It baffles me so much that people defend such asshats in the community.
um thats not the majority of the boards, thats tylers fanbase.
-500 vote score on the announcing post?
That seems to be a majority, mate.
Its really just his legion of fanboys. Most of the people there acting like it wasn't justified have like zero lifetime posts on the boards.
I was absolutely floored at how many people leapt to defend that guy.
Glad to see this wasn't the main majority of the boards, but just an army of man-children, sad for the fall of their douchebag king.
I've been given hope.
That's good to know. The boards community I know who complains about toxicity would never support a guy like that.
"Yeah, I don't want to watch some beta nerd." Actual comment from the thread. These people can't be serious.
Okay... let's for a second ignore that that's a huge group of people simultaneously being pissed off, as opposed to people that would otherwise frequently voice their opinion on the forums.
Let's also ignore that even the people who are on the forums regularly still do not actually represent the average LoL-player
Even ignoring all of that... 500 is still an absurdly tiny number, considering the amount of players LoL has. And when you consider the posts stating they downvoted the post with all of their accounts, it shows you do not only have to compare that number of 500 downvotes to the overall amount of players, but instead you have to compare that to the overall amount of accounts.
That number really doesn't mean a lot. Hell, if it was 50.000, it still wouldn't necessarily represent the majority.

That's right it wouldn't.
The majority don't care one way or the other, so their vote doesn't count.
The people who are aware/involved have cast their vote, and were outvoted by what is currently ~750 downvotes on the riot thread.
"The majority don't care one way or the other, so their vote doesn't count." No, the majority don't care enough to cast their vote. That doesn't mean they don't care at all. And it also doesn't mean that don't have an opinion on the matter. It doesn't even mean that they don't feel strongly about the matter, because as you point out yourself, they might just be unaware of the issue.
But you're right, because they haven't responded within a few hours to a forum post in one specific subsection of the forums, referring to a specific streamer that plays on one server obviously means their vote shouldn't count.
Edit: That's like holding a referendum in a small town hardly anybody lives in, announcing it on the day the referndum is held, predominantly informing people who are strongly in favor, and then extrapolating the result of that vote to represent the entire country.
I don't even care about this guy enough to know who he is before this.
If he was being a shithead, give him a ban. If he was selling accounts, give him a lifetime ban. If he was evading proper punishment, give him quadruple lifetime bans.
He was actually reforming but riot shot him down because he was starting to get popular after that draven hype video and a couple days later he went from 1k subs on youtube to 50k subs the sad part is he literally was doing his best.
i mean from what i saw today just watching his stuff he was shit talking towards phreak, he was shit talking his teammates, dodging games shit like that. that isnt reforming....
it was upvoted alot a few hours ago until i freshed and a then there alot of downvotes and downvotes to anything mentioning how he deserved it so yeah his fanboys really destroyed the post.
It's just brigading by his fans.
He streamed it so everyone rushed on the Boards. The post itself had like 80 upvotes until he streamed it.

25 upvotes when he streamed it. keep reaching
It was already getting downvoted by then.
It's actually at -2.4K votes now. Pretty pathetic that people will defend that type of behavior.
A majority of his fanbase perhaps. Keep in mind they WILL be biased towards him, toxic or not.
500 players in the grand scheme of League, though? That's akin to .0000000000001 percent of the game's population. He's banned due to his behaviour as deemed by Riot. Pretty much the end of the story.
He showed a video of that post. So all his fanboys that most of the time have never even visited boards came into his defence.
tyler showed the post on stream and in a video, the video has (atm) 178K+ views, all from fans who like what he does. His fanbase when out of its way to go on the boards. how do you explain that the anti-tyler1 post on the frontpage are on the frontpage? how do you explain that 2k players were able to downvote it when posts dissapear after 20?
Hell, if you look at a lot of their board profiles they've never even posted before.
um thats not the majority of the boards, thats tylers fanbase.
Check again maybe bub?
Check again maybe bub?
considering how a lot of the people in that thread had 0 posts here a week ago im pretty sure im right
Happened with Dunkey, happened with people before that, it will probably happen again. People saying that because someone was funny, high-tier, or a streamer that they deserve special treatment.
Let's just hope that all of the people that say, "I won't play unless he gets unbanned" actually stick with it. If he was that much of a driving force for a person, then they probably have some similar qualities. If they're similar to Tyler1 then the community will appreciate their departure.
People are allowed to say they liked him, that they thought he was funny or good, the same way people are allowed to say that they didn't like him, but when you start saying he didn't deserve this you better have a sound argument and clear rationality other than, "other people are worse." Yes, murderers aren't as bad as shoplifters, that doesn't mean we'll stop arresting shoplifters.
Below is a personal rant about the community. Do know that the important parts of my post are covered so feel free to ignore what's below.
People on that thread said so much BS like "I run into toxic people all the time and you don't do this to them." So, you acknowledge that Tyler was toxic, but because there are other toxic people out there he shouldn't be banned? Do you even know what the purpose of a permaban is? It's not asking you to create another account in case you were wondering.
I saw the most upvoted post had, "He leveled his account on stream" as one of his main points. 99% of the league community leveled their own accounts, that doesn't mean Riot owes him anything, it means he did what he was supposed to do. When that's a key point, it feels like people are grasping at straws trying to find examples of things he's done right because they were so rare.
The community used to ask for IP bans all the time on the old forums because we knew that people couldn't be trusted to simply create a new account and become a better person from it. Many do get better, but there was nothing in place to handle repeat offenders as IP bans could result in collateral damage. Now that someone gets targeted by a gigaban, there's no collateral and it feels like he met the criteria with over 20 permabans, people are saying that this is unfair.
"He made a video about himself being a better player." Look, he deserved this long ago, much longer than it actually took for him to change his ways. He didn't make that video after his 10th permaban, but anyone with 10+ permabans deserves to be removed by further action.
"That heimer also bought his account" with 331 upvotes. Thank you for that wonderful and insightful addition to the conversation. Out of all of the thoroughly explained posts I've made and seen throughout my forum career, you definitely added enough to the conversation with those 6 incredibly thought-out words to deserve your place in the spotlight.
And everyone upvoting the "But he's reformed Kappa", it's like people don't know what Kappa means. It's only a meme that's been around for years now and would be particularly popular among people that watch twitch streams, but I guess if the circlejerk of people downvoting that post want to upvote a post making fun of Tyler, who am I to say no?
I know there are good people in this community, but we're far from something I am proud to call myself a member of.
I agree, the best thing that can happen to this community is all of tyler's fans intentionally feeding to run down mid to get all banned. The best target is a big target.
For those who lost LP because of them, we salute you as the war heroes against teh cancer!
Couldn't agree more. Natural selection? Virtual selection? However it happens, it will be nice to have them gone.

No he deserves to be banned, but also kacytron and nicktron and all the other big streamers that troll in games. The only reason why riot banned tyler 1 is because there lcs butt buddies got salty.
To be fair, he got perm banned 19 times and is way more toxic than kacy and nicktron. Frankly, I do not think that there is anyone remotely as toxic as tyler (who is also streaming). That's why comparisons don't work in this case.
Honestly, if you have ever watched his streams you would realize that he acts how to majority of us act. In most of his games he has trolls that sell everything and run down mid, or bot lane and feed his opposing adc. You can't tell me that you wouldn't get mad. If you say you wouldn't then you are lying.
Yea, it's all an act. He is obviously going for the long con, he trolled 5 years and got himself 17 accounts banned only so he could now have a successfull stream. /s No, that dude is simply toxic af. And don't try to mess up the order, this guy was toxic before people started to tease him. And yes, there is indeed very often an intentional feeder in his game - it's him. Finally, yes. I'd get mad at intentional feeders - not that I've seen one in a long time, after all I am not a notorious int'er myself. I've never int'ed - ever. I've never insulted people (but okay, I've been quite sarcastic a a few times). I've never even got a chatban let alone a tempban. Don't try to compare him to other toxic people or me. Tyler1 is exceptionally toxic and has always been.
"And yes, there is indeed very often an intentional feeder in his game - it's him."
Go watch all of his vods, stop talking out of your ass. He /mute all's as soon as he enters a game. He hasn't fed in like 3 months.
"I've never even got a chatban let alone a tempban."
I don't think you realize how hard it even is to get a chatban or even a tempban.
"Don't try to compare him to other toxic people or me."
Running away from a discussion by telling someone what not to use as proof. But whatever keep being a sheep.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxHgnudnysw Oh sure dude. Look at the match history it was the 19th of april. Stop making things up, he was and still is toxic. You are either clueless or straight up lying (as the video proves).
"I've never even got a chatban let alone a tempban."
I don't think you realize how hard it even is to get a chatban or even a tempban.
I don't think you realize that tyler got 19 permbans. I am fully aware of how hard it is to even get a chatban - that means that tyler1 is incredibly toxic as he actually managed to get banned so often.
"Don't try to compare him to other toxic people or me."

Proof? You are saying that someone who got permbanned 19 times should be compared to people who did not even get permbanned once. Don't you realize how incredibly unfair that is? He is way more toxic than basically everyone else. PERIOD.
Checked him out for this post and I agree that he deserves that permaban if he is as toxic as the videos and commentary I have seen on him where
It's because he viewed the post on stream so his fanboys came here to downvote the thread.
who is tyler1 and why should i care about them?
Some guy who trolled in about 10% of his ranked games while still maintaining a 70% winrate and streamed it.

that's disgusting, he deserves his ban then,
I never thought I would see the day that Draven Day got out downvoted.
Who the hell is Tyler1 and why do we care?
Why does the post have 1k downvotes?
Deep Terror Nami said it's his fans padding the votes. It's not the community as a whole downvoting his ban...
hehe xD
im neutral but i like streamers like him they are fun to watch so its kinda sad that such an entertainment is gone :/
while tittstron i mean kacey is still allowed to fuck with b5 players
I had to ask my fiance who Kacey was and she showed me a pic of her dangling an old NES controller and the end of a N64 controller in her mouth. I'm over here like "Does she know that dangling a controller by the wire is bad for the board inside?" I got a pat on the head and a "This is why i love you." thing.
