If you behave incorrectly in League of Legends, it can lead to you being banned. Now, a pro and Twitch streamer has been banned, and fans believe he deserved it.
Which pro is it about? The Swedish LoL pro Thebausffs plays as a Toplaner for the team Los Ratones. Together, the team has won the EMEA Masters twice in 2025 with some well-known Twitch streamers (lol.fandom.com).
Thebausffs is also a Twitch streamer, where he mostly plays League of Legends. After a ranked match, Thebausffs was banned in LoL for a week because he, as a Support, accumulated a total of 17 deaths within 30 minutes. However, he was unbanned after just one hour (x.com).
Why do fans believe he deserved it? Thebausffs is known for the champion Sion. This character has a passive ability that allows him to resurrect after his death for a short time and continue to attack with devastating blows. The pro and streamer often employs the strategy that while he dies with Sion, he achieves enough with his ability to make the death worthwhile.
However, during his round with Sion as Support and the 17 deaths, he was only able to achieve very little with the ability and consequently did not adhere to the official rules of LoL. The X user icardiadamya comments on the ban: “He deserved it.”
Too many intentional deaths lead to a ban in League of Legends
How does this behavior lead to a ban? In a Riot FAQ, all questions regarding the topic “ban” have been answered personally. It states that a ban may occur if the player “intentionally plays for the opponent”.
A Reddit user writes the following under the post about Thebausffs’ ban: “17 deaths on Support Sion in Master (the rank) are honestly just intentional feeding.” Intentional feeding describes a player like Thebausffs, who intentionally “feeds” the enemy with gold through dying.
With Thebausffs’ many deaths, without gaining any benefit from them, he fed the enemy a lot of gold, which gave his team a significant disadvantage.
It is not new that Twitch streamers are banned in League of Legends if they do not follow Riot’s rules. Streamer Bardinette set himself a strange challenge and harmed his team. He wanted to climb to a certain rank while defeating no minions, which are actually one of the main sources for the important gold: Twitch streamer sabotages his team in LoL through a special challenge and gets banned for it
