First, the streamer Tyler1 was revived for World of Warcraft HC, now he is really upset. The game is for babies and playing it makes you dumber.
Many fans know Tyler1 from World of Warcraft mainly because of the drama surrounding the guild OnlyFangs, which was perceived by many almost like a soap opera.
The exclusive streamer guild published a lot of content over months, but in the end, they slowly let the project fade away, even though there are still some active players. For a while, Tyler1 was even the leader of the guild – now he is harshly criticizing World of Warcraft.
What was said? During one of his last streams on Twitch, Tyler1 got a bit riled up. He harshly criticized World of Warcraft and was led to this little “rant”:
This is what happens when you play a children’s game like World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft, by the way, is the most talentless game. I swear to God, you play this game and your IQ decreases, your reflexes drop, your skill level in every game declines. This is the biggest baby crap in the world.
It’s a bit ironic when you consider that Tyler1 had to be revived for an event because he had previously lost his character in a raid – and after that, he didn’t reach level 60 with any other character without dying.
But maybe it is also the good mood and positive, life-affirming joy that comes with playing League of Legends that speaks from Tyler1.
How the community reacts: On Reddit, Tyler1’s words are received with humor, and he is smiled at a bit. Because from the perspective of many, he achieved hardly anything himself in the HC-guild OnlyFangs and was heavily reliant on being “carried” by others. Some of the voices:
- “Tyler1 was really bad at playing WoW, but that was what made it 95% entertaining as a viewer.” – Prestidious-Ad-2876
- “He never played any challenging content, so yes, he is right: if you play nothing difficult, then it is really easy.” – IanBac
- “Interesting view from a guy who was hard carried through the easiest content WoW has ever offered and still managed to look incompetent.” – xanderoptik
- “He should lead a mythic raid. He would change his view at the first boss. As someone who has defeated almost all mythic bosses with some of the best players in the world: it’s a grueling process and anything but easy. Every part of Classic WoW has been revealed and done a million times. New raids require a lot of learning and cooldown preparation just to reach the next phase.” – flashtone
Whether Tyler1 takes his statement completely seriously or made it only in a small, angry moment is, of course, not easy to say. Still, it would surely be amusing to see how he performs in the endgame content of modern WoW and whether he would still make such a statement.
After all, everyone was a beginner at one point and asked very harmless questions at the start.
