Game ruining in League of Legends is a problem that is nothing new. This issue has existed since the early days of League of Legends until now. Although Riot has tried to propose many solutions to this problem, all have proven ineffective. Game ruining is still rampant and frustrates the League of Legends community—players who still try hard in every match.
Especially, not only ordinary players, but game ruining (notably continuously feeding the opponent) also exists among streamers, KOLs, and professional players… Just in this Spring 2022 season, even Faker has encountered game ruining twice. And one of those times was when the “Demon King” ranked up alongside Qingtian from Top Esports. This incident even shook the League of Legends community for a while, and many famous figures also commented on the story.
However, if most cases of game ruining/encountering game ruining from well-known figures in the League of Legends scene are due to content creation or just temporary, recently, a male streamer has been game ruining just because… he’s frustrated with Riot. Specifically, this streamer is named Shaclone, and according to the League of Legends community, he is a highly skilled Shaco player.
However, recently, he has been continuously feeding while live streaming. He even named his stream “Tryhard to Iron 4”. Throughout the stream, Shaclone took his champion to the Mid Lane and kept feeding continuously. Even if his teammates shouted for help, Shaclone ignored them. Thus, in just one game, Shaclone fed over 40 kills.
Shaclone even went so far as to declare his willingness to pay for a new account to keep feeding if banned. According to Shaclone, he fed simply because he felt frustrated with Riot after his account was banned without any reasonable explanation from them.
However, regardless, Shaclone’s actions are extremely condemnable as he has affected the gaming experience of other players due to his personal issues. It remains unclear whether Riot will ban the male streamer again, but Shaclone has certainly made himself a target for criticism from the League of Legends community.
