League of Legends Ban
On April 30, 2016, Tyler was ID banned indefinitely by Riot Games (the company behind League of Legends) due to verbal abuse and for his consistently toxic behavior on stream. Note – ID ban results in any account a player creates getting banned immediately.
”Because of a well-documented history of account bans for verbal abuse, intentional feeding, as well as account sharing/purchasing, evasion of sportsmanship systems, and player harassment, we will not allow Tyler1 to hold a League of Legends account, indefinitely,” Riot Socrates wrote in an official statement. He added: ”Any account definitively used by him will be banned immediately upon identification.”
At one point, Steinkamp declared himself LoL’s ”most toxic player.”
