Huge Drama in LoL

[Vertigo X]

He didn't "wish" anything. Video gamers, for all the rage they can throw around, are fragile little things apparently.

You seem to be under the impression tyler1 had anything to do with his punishment. He didn't. Also... trash talking video gamers on a video game forum lul.

Meh, on one hand it's not exactly professional behaviour. On the other hand, everyone knows what sort of human waste plays LoL...

If only he did that in his non Riot account. He should see that coming for him. Anyway, most LoL players are like that.

You guys just come to the league subforum to trash league players or what?

I'm certainly under the impression that a whole bunch of other LOL players grabbed their fainting couches after posting / reposting his comments.

Too bad, Riot lost a good opportunity to tell Tyler1 he's officially a worthless testicle.

Hell a lot of people do wish Tyler would die of testicular cancer, as he is one of the worst cancerous things in lol, as are his vids. Do I care? Not really. I don't watch him nor do I care about him. I haven't come in contact being a gold player and if I did on one his smurf accounts it was maybe for a game. It's nothing off my back. Since this is riot saying it, he should have realized what he had said in the heat of the moment, knowing full well his job was already gone at that point, and gone full ham with the last vestments of his job powers and told how a majority of the community feels about him. But hey. Riot dug his own grave there

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Who cares how does how he feels about a streamer effect his ability to work on the game:

[TriHard]

Also, what happened is that Sanjuro wished death upon T1 and some other shit, he got fired. And now Tyler1 is getting unbanned in 80 days or so if he behaves thanks to being treated this way.

So FeelsGoodMan, T1 is back

[Wramp]

it essentially comes down to simply this: RIOT is a Corporation, Corporations have sponsors, Sponsors like it when Corporations maintain a good Corporate Image, Sanjuro stepped all over that and whatever punishment he got, it was deserved. societal rules generally are more strictly observed in companies because of this and well, lets face it, money talks and im sure they sent him steppin before money left.

Game full of some of the most toxic video game players known to man has equally toxic employees? Whodathunk

[Lorgar Aurelian]

So what was his job at riot any way?

He was lead expirience designer, means he was promoting nice play and trying to get rid of toxicity, kinda ironic if you ask me.

[Swalload]

From what I'm reading he said he wished death on someone.
Saying "I'm going to kill you" is a threat and should get you fired.
Saying "I wish you were dead" is not a threat and probably shouldn't get you fired, just reprimanded.

It's more than just "what he deserves for saying that", it's the image it shows, if he wouldn't get fired we would see articles saying "Riot supports developer who wishes death upon their playerbase."
Not only that, but people who do things like that are not angels in their everyday life, I'm sure he pissed people off in the studio and they saw this as a good reason to just kick that guy out and be done with it. Good job.

So what was his job at riot any way?

In the video, it claims he's in charge of trying to reduce player toxicity. Which just makes the whole thing even more hilarious imho.

OT: I don't really care, haven't played LoL in a long time. Considering the guys position though, he really shoulda been smarter. As for Tyler1, never heard of him. And seeing peoples comments, I'm kind of curious to see his videos, but I don't know if I want to get sucked into that.

Interesting that after this drama Riot is going to unban Tyler1 if he behaves.
The "unban tyler1" has become a meme for so long and now is actually happening because of this, lol.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Oh then I couldn't care less that he got fired league has never been about the commity to me unless there an artist or game designer can't say I care.

Also 160 people viewing the League of Legends forum? This must be a record :O

[Tripz]

This forum is full of people who still need to: 1) Leave mom house; 2) Find a job.

The irony of a 1 year member with 967 posts making this statement.

Not really, there's plenty of people that post a lot here who well have an average life(Family, job etc etc). So no, not ironic.

How is it ironic it takes next To no time to post.

[Gorsameth]

Doesnt matter if your working for Riot, Tesco or Microsoft.

Talk like that, especially when presented as a person from said company (the Riot tag on his name), is going to get you fired.

Nothing to do with how toxic the person your talking to is or what he did.
