LoL: “They Should Be Homeless” – Twitch Streamer Demands Riot Kick 2 Teams

Twitch streamer Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp is known for two things: his League of Legends streams and his quick temper. He brought both together in a new LoL stream on Twitch on July 27: He took on two teams from Riot Games: Tyler1 believes that they would only bet in their beanbags and do nothing. He demands her release.

Who is the angry man?

Tencent burns money paying these bums

Which teams is Tyler1 really upset about? Tyler1 has two enemy images at Riot Games:

• the general balance team
• and the team responsible for the behavior of the client.

In a twitch stream, he now looked at the patch notes and only found the entry under “Behavioural Systems” that you can now see which teammates have honored you after a LoL match. For Tyler1, proof that the Riot team just sits lazily in their beanbags, drinking coffee and twiddling their thumbs.

Tyler1 applauded sarcastically and explained:

These are bums. You’re stealing your salary from that fucking Tencent. Do they know what you’re doing there? Maybe I’ll send them a salty email. They burn money paying these people: They shouldn’t have jobs!

All the other teams are fine – but they should be homeless

What’s bothering him? Tyler1 is apparently annoyed that the balance team and the client team are working too slowly and doing too little in the game. In a stream it really increases:

“I think the casters are great, all the teams, the esports teams, actually all these guys are okay. I’m really just talking about balance and client behavior: they should be homeless!”

Tyler1 then works himself into a strange scenario: When the day came that Riot Games laid people off and they emptied their offices with their heads hanging, Tyler1 would fly to California and enthusiastically cheer them on.

Is there any truth to the criticism? Some balance changes at Riot Games have been controversial lately, especially the “Durabiltiy” update: they wanted to make LoL slower, but still want “Glass Cannons” to get their kills. This led to huge upheavals in the game.

The Balance team’s policy was to release a patch that they knew would change so much that it was bound to cause problems. They then wanted to address these new problems with more radical patches – open-heart surgery on the game.

These patches and adjustments are not fast enough for many players. You can certainly see that critically – especially when your own favorite champion slips far down in the win rate.

But then, wishing someone to become “homeless” goes far too far. Seems to be Tyler1’s typical ploy though. LoL is known for its toxic community, so when you make someone like Tyler1 the face of the game, you send a clear signal:
