Tyler1 will duel a Riot employee from the balance team today

This one's for all those ADC mains out there.
This article is over 6 years old and may contain outdated information

If you follow any League of Legends players on Twitter, you’ve checked the game’s Reddit community, or you’ve visited the official forums, you are probably very aware of the fact that ADC mains aren’t too pleased with the current meta. Hell, maybe you’re even a marksman main yourself, and you know better than anyone.

Wouldn’t you like someone to really lay the smackdown on Riot for you, or for the thousands of players that feel spurned thanks to enormous changes to the bot lane over the past couple of months? Sure you would, and who better to do that than the ragiest bot lane main around, Tyler1—and what better way to do it than a good ol’fashioned one-on-one duel of the fates?

That’s right, Tyler1 is going to duel a Riot staffer from the balance team today on his stream.

In the northeast corner, we have super-mega-heavyweight, Mr. “banned indefinitely” himself, Tyler1. He was one of the most toxic players on the North American server, using his patented “int list” to punish any player that glances at him the wrong way, or, you know, just because he felt like it.

After a long, long ban, and a truly spectacular transformation to the “most reformed player NA,” Riot decided to unban him. After seven months back in the streaming rotation, he might just be the player that’s the most angry about the bot lane changes from Patch 8.11.

In the southwest corner, an unnamed Riot employee on the balance team, who is probably directly responsible for everything that’s happened to the bot lane over the last three months. It’s safe to say that you can blame this person for literally everything that’s pissed you off about the game recently, no doubt about it. Patches too big for you? Bot lane changes leave you unable to win games? Did your solo queue teammate int too much today?

It’s all this person’s fault, probably.

Tyler1 didn’t give a time frame on when this showdown would happen, other than the fact that it’ll be in the middle of his stream, at some point, and that it’ll be today. Sure, the regional grudge match of Rift Rivals just ended, and yes, Worlds is coming up in a few months, but this is the match that everyone really cares about.
