LOL is one of the most-played games of all time and was sweeping the world by its thunder. Even if you have never played it, you have got to have heard of it.

On Twitch, tyler1 would be the LOL player and not a variety streamer. A variety of streamer streams different games of multiple genres. People watch the streamer mostly for the streamer's charisma and how he carries the chat. For gamers that only play one game, they gain traction and audience by how well they are at the game. tyler1 was one of those that wasn't considered the best at the game but was the most popular because of his characters.

In LOL, players can choose their own characters. tyler1 would always choose Draven, an executioner with an ax and he attacks by throwing the ax. His loyal audience has to applaud his loyalty for Draven, which was ranked 15 out of the 18 characters available. Draven was not the most powerful character and could not have aided tyler1 very much. Yet, he was famous because he was a one-thing player.

tyler1 was notoriously crowned for being the most toxic player in North America for his behaviors on streams. Twitch and other gaming platforms strictly prohibit any toxic behaviors such as insulting others, threatening in chat, saying racial slurs, promoting anything discriminatory against a group of people based on their sex, race, or nationality. Unfortunately for tyler1, he checked all the boxes.

He was most noted for telling others to kill themselves on streams. When he was experiencing an unpleasant encounter with his rivals in games or someone in chat upset him, he would tell the other person to die and they should just kill themselves. His behaviors were reported by users on Twitch multiple times as it was deemed threatening and a violation of LOL rules.

First, he was banned in 2016 due to his unsettling behaviors. Soon after, his ban was lifted. After all, LOL was a live gaming platform, not a court. A lot of players have had their ban lifted after an appeal or after claiming they will not be repeating such behaviors. Some people were upset at the decision as they deemed tyler1 simply too toxic for the gaming world.

After he returned, he soon proved the fans' worst nightmare to be true. He kept violating LOL rules by blurting out insults and threats to those playing against him, or when he was not able to use Draven as his character. His concerning behaviors once again gained public attention and people demanded him to be removed again. Ironically, this whole tyler1 saga got him the popularity he wanted. His first stream after returning to the platform gained nearly 400,000 views on Twitch, making it the most-watched stream of non-tournament of all time.

The second time tyler1 got banned was in 2018. He got banned over the same threatening behaviors and his choice of words that may seem to be targeting a group of people. People were more concerned about the fact that, despite his toxic behaviors, he was gaining more viewers than ever. He was not losing any fans, meaning his fans condoned his actions and may want to learn from him. Seeing what kind of influence he can have on the majorly young audience group, people began mass-reporting the player. In 2018, he got banned for the second time. However, just like the one before, his ban was lifted soon after. To this day, some people question the legitimacy of a ban if someone with such serious violations can just claim to behave and have their accounts back, what kind of reputation does it bring to the platform and how can users let their minors learn from such a player?

The first time he returned, unfortunately, not much changed for the big-time streamer. He was still demonstrating toxic behaviors and was hated by many critics. The second time he returned, he promised to be good and things seemed to be looking better for him. Since his highly-profiled return, tyler1 has been dedicated his time in playing LOL, this time, without insults or threats to his best. Some fans are pleased to see his change and believe him to be a reformed person.
