An unwanted banned from all Riot Games titles has been imposed on an Italian League of Legends streamer due to his toxic behaviour.
Due to his toxicity, an Italian League of Legends streamer named Brizz94 has been banned from all of Riot Game’s titles. The ban was revealed in a Discord chat where several Italian streamers were present, and Brizz94 quickly read the announcement live on stream.
According to a translator from a Reddit post, the announcement read as below:
“Unfortunately, however, because of a minority of players, who enjoy ruining the experience of other players, talent or Rioter themselves, the negative perception sometimes remains and discourages the new or is reason to move away from the game. This causes harm especially to you, because in addition to not being fun to be targeted, literally drives away hundreds of new players and your possible viewers. We must take decisive action.”
“The community sees YOU as a reference and is influenced by what you do and say. I consider you part of the team and I want to have an increasingly profitable and professional relationship with all of you”
“We therefore decided to discourage these messages, with an action that has no precedent in Italy: ban on sight indefinitely on all accounts for the talent from which these chats arise, namely Brizz.”
Further requesting that other streamers refrain from collaborating with him in the future. Riot officials staff said that “in the confusion that will generate such an announcement, to maintain a professional behavior as I expect from you, to no longer involve the talent in your live,”
Brizz was noticeably angry and sad at the same time as he heard the statement live on his stream because it effectively banned him from working with other streamers in the area as well as from participating in other Riot Games titles.
This publisher-wide ban follows Riot Korea IP’s toxicity ban of LoL streamer TFBlade, which led to the bans of other streamers staying in the same hotel as him.
Riot is on a spree lately with maintaining the pure and punishing the toxic players within their games, especially League of Legends. Earlier in May 2023, Riot was already determined to take dramatic measures to tackle toxicity within League.
The League community has generally welcomed the concept behind these actions that Riot made, and many are eager to see how they act out in the future.
