Tyler1 is one of the most infamous people in the League of Legends community, known for his screaming rants about the game. Well, it seems he's flipped once more, stating that the game has killed all his passion and the playability as well.
Tyler1 is the most infamous League of Legends content creator out there, with hundreds of thousands of followers. Throughout the years he's managed to reach Challenger in various positions and tried his hand at other LoL servers as well.
Now, he's in the news once more, but not for achieving another milestone in his career, but instead for one of his infamous rants about the game that has made him so famous – League of Legends.
LoL: Tyler1 Bashes Riot Devs For Game Balance – Again
It's nothing new to have Tyler "Tyler1" Steinkamp rant on stream. Honestly, it's probably part of his whole shtick at this point, but that's also what makes him go so viral most of the time, because let's be real, most of the time when he blows-up like this his criticism isn't really constructive.
On November 28, Tyler1 let out his frustration after a bad loss as Brand after going 4-3 during his stream. He revealed that he truly isn't enjoying the game right now and believes that the devs have ruined it with their balance choices.
I can't play this piece of shit anymore. The devs are fucking killing it and everybody is miserable playing it. Like, people are miserable because the balance is so bad, it tilts everybody. [...] This shit is trash. I cannot sit here and play this.
It also doesn't seem like Tyler1 is hopeful that the preseason changes on PBE can save the game for him. He stated in the same rant that he believes Season 14 is going to be the exact same thing, with OP items and balance issues bugging the game.
Tyler1: "You have completely killed any passion or play-ability of this game for me." by u/ToonamiNights in leagueoflegends
In Season 14 they are changing all the items and things will be better... things are going to be the same thing. There is going to be broken shit again and they're going to do the same exact things again. It's a shame on the devs for what they've done to this game.
He capped it off by saying that the devs have killed any and all passion for this game, also making it unplayable.
Tyler1 was banned by Riot Games on April 30, 2016, due to his toxic behavior in League of Legends. He remained banned for approximately 613 days. Riot Games decided to unban him on January 4, 2018.
While Tyler1 does complain a lot about the game, he does log in to play it almost daily, streaming for hours on end. Basically, the community has come to the conclusion that he is addicted to League of Legends and this is something he has admitted before as well.
So while he isn't happy with the current balance, or the direction the game is going in, he will continue to play this game for hours, get burnt out from playing League and then complain about it. The cycle is complete. But, now it's time to flip the question: Is the game balance so bad right now as Tyler admitted or is he just burnt out and ranting?
