One League of Legends player has taken ruining the experience for others to another level by running multiple deranking accounts without consequences.

League of Legends is no stranger when it comes to toxicity, considering that it’s generally known for its “unfriendly” player base. Regardless of one’s rank, seeing another player flamed with some of the most unthinkable insults has always been quite common in the Summoner’s Rift.

Other than that, intentionally feeding and grieving are quite regular occurrences as well, especially in ranked matches when peoples’ ranks are at stake. Of course, Riot has taken a step further to combat these issues by adding new report features and harsher punishments for those who refuse to repent.

However, it’s clear that the game’s whole reporting system still needs work. In a Reddit thread, one user has exposed a League of Legends player who deliberately throws games while being live 24 hours. 

What makes this even more wild is that the streamer would have multiple accounts open at once and simply click around the screen to avoid getting disconnected.

“He says (this is in the video) in each lobby that it is him protesting chat and ping changes. Proof that he is deliberately trolling is the line he says, ‘In short: Riot bad, dodge or lose’ in each game lobby,” the user explained.

To further explain the situation, the user claimed the account would say “join the Turing test” when linking his streams in the chat, which can be seen in pro player Sneaky’s stream

Tyler1, a well-known Draven player, has apparently mentioned this player in a recent video as well, claiming that he’s “an actual AI player.” Despite having 24 losses in a row with abysmal KDA, as seen in the video, the player has yet to be banned.

Riot is making all kinds of changes to League for the 2024 season.

While a teammate being AFK is not something surprising in the game, the fact that this player went out of their way to make multiple accounts and continued to livestream themself game-throwing without consequence has caught the attention of others.

“This guy is insane, but it’s also nuts that he doesn’t get instant permabans or ranked restrictions,” one user commented. Meanwhile, another player mentioned, “Yup had him in my game. How does he manage to stay in Emerald Elo with this strat…”

A portion of the player base even shared their experience about having this player on their team. Of course, it’s not surprising that they lost the match. “He ruined my game… Dia (Diamond) 2 EUW. Will take a break from main account, that was too tilting,” one user claimed.
