Why does Hashinshin get the streamer treatment?

All he does is flame in all chat about how "this champion is op" and that "the live gameplay team only buffs champions that they like playing". Legit, he has nothing nice to say ever, he's so much worse than Rainman, if anything, Hashinshin is a way bigger of a laughing stock than him and Jensen combined. Half the time, he's too busy typing in all chat to even care about how the game is being played out. 9/10 times, he's missing cs and isn't putting in any effort. What's the deal?

How is calling a champ op in all chat flaming? Also the live gameplay team buffing certain champions that they like playing can be more of a perspective thing thananything else.

he doesn't get the "streamer treatment" he gets the Diamond+ treatment, pre diamond you have over a million players to moderate, at diamond though it lowers down to the low 1000s. It's much easier to view a person as a individual in a elo where very few people are in, and thus only the actual genuine jerks get banned, but the good side is they get banned fast since it's so easy to find them now. MOVING ON

Hashinshin isn't even THAT toxic, the normal player is toxic two out of ten games, or three out of ten games, and often is never punished, this is because riot thankfully acknowledges their game is stressful, and if your averaging 10 games a day, in one of them you are gonna snap and get pretty toxic. So you really only get banned if you have been repetively and been extremely toxic. Like you went four straight games telling people to go kill themselves. However if you only did that 1 out of 10 games and go the other 9 games behaving as a pretty nice or normal dude, than in all honesty you don't really deserve a ban.

This is why the people who do get banned, and we see them all the time on the forums, tend to be EXTREMELY immature, and have horrible tempers. Legit only the most toxic of toxic people get banned.

Than their is the "money" part of it. For streamers, the reason we rarely see them get banned, is for they are essentially giving riot, free advertisment, and it works, having admired personalities play your game and constantly show case it, gives your game great publicity, that's why their is the heavy argument that the LCS is good for league of legends the game, for it keeps the player base and outside player base entertained and inspired to play the game. It's a advertisement that "if you keep practicing, maybe one day you can end up just like these guys" and it works.

Onto the low elo player base, the reason we don't see low elo players get banned to often, is because well..skins..if you ban a player he's not gonna ban skins anymore.

Long answer, but i hope it explains things.

I haven't looked into his stream to see his chat, but if he's not getting reported by teammates/enemies, the system couldn't care less what he says. The system is designed to review chat which is found objectionable by someone in the game - if nobody finds it objectionable enough to report him, then the system won't review it and certainly won't punish for it. This is to allow cases where players are all bantering around with each other in a way that is technically slightly negative and would otherwise be punished, but no player was offended or feels it is objectionable in the game it was said in.

I can't say if that's the case for sure or not, but that certainly could be part of it.

Ah when Riot King Cobra dumpstered him with Cassiopeia and he was busy typing about how broken Cassiopeia is while he was being pelted with Twin Fangs. From what I've seen he's basically a high elo player (from my perspective) with the mentality of a bronze player.

Dude should've been banned long ago

Hashinshin actually isn't that toxic anymore. He'll make some exaggerated statements on stream or in all chat about how balanced or unbalanced he thinks champions/abilities are, but he doesn't really actively flame people in chat.

He's a living, breathing meme. You actually take Hashinshin seriously? No one does. People watch him for entertainment. They know what kind of entertainment they're getting themselves into. As people say, he's NOT that toxic. It's fine. Anyone with a brain knows that when you play with Hashinshin, you have to invoke totally different strategies to win the game.

While I disagree with the rainman/jensen statements (they've done worse) I do agree that he really needs a 1 week ban or something to cool off. I'd say give him a chat restriction but he'd just stand there trying to type with no messages available.

Why? He doesn't. People just tend to be made of metal in higher elo because no one really gives a shit.

"How does Hashinshin win?" one man asked. https://clips.twitch.tv/CogentCorrectSamosaTheThing https://clips.twitch.tv/OpenExuberantHawkStinkyCheese https://clips.twitch.tv/HealthyLightSpindleOSsloth

Popular streamers get special treatment, plain and simple.

edit lol at down votes. Well, let me ask you this....do we all have access to rioters personal e-mails and/or phone numbers to hook us up? That is one massive advantage if you get to be a popular streamer. Aka....treated differently.

Yea hes pretty toxic to his teammates I haven't played for a while but I'm climbing back up to D3 and hopefully D2 so I can play with him stomp him and report him whenever he tries to flame when hes on my team really toxic. Always telling his junglers their useless, asking his team mates wtf theyre doing, swearing at them constantly, etc.

  1. What do you mean by "streamer treatment"?
  2. Who is Rainman?

Odd, usually when I watch his stream and he goes 0/5 he still manages to remain even on cs with his opponent. And as for him not putting any effort, I believe he puts a bit too much effort in lane aggression and tilts easier than most lol. If Hash is deserving of a ban then the majority of the player base would be too think about it.
