League of Legends
League of Legends was the protagonist, unfortunately unintentionally, of one of the strangest episodes of Twitch, which involved Ninja. The popular US streamer (who we remember for being the first character to bind exclusively to a platform) has in fact held a decidedly unusual behavior for the site and above all for the caliber of his figure.What he did Ninja? He simply performed the fastest rage quit in history during a League of Legends ranked match. Not only from the game though: the streamer has in fact decided to close his live streaming as well. All in a very short time window of about 5 minutes. Exactly: 300 seconds were enough to be able to make the boy nervous and that is why this is probably the fastest rage quit ever remembered.
A real shame for his whole fan base but it is also a decidedly curious thing . A streamer of the caliber of Ninja, really known by everyone (also thanks to the conduct of him at New York's New Year 2020 live from Times Square) has not really been able to withstand the pressure of a game of League of Legends? Really strange, considering that for a month now he has decided to approach the title, so much so that he has reached Platinum IV level.
Beyond this episode and the performance on League of Legends, Ninja was also the protagonist of another event on Twitch, this time independent of his figure. In fact, last week the platform decided to ban several bots that falsified data on followers and viewers. The largest channels have been affected by this phenomenon, also losing millions of subscribers, apart from Ninja, which has only lost 200,000 followers. A very small number for a figure of his caliber and his popularity.
