Jynxzi’s jump into League of Legends ended faster than expected. Riot has banned the account the Rainbow Six Siege star used during his first streams of the MOBA, citing rules against account sale and transfer.
The streamer hopped into League of Legends this week on a level 30 account, the threshold needed to access ranked play. The problem was obvious to anyone watching: Jynxzi was clearly a complete beginner, fumbling basic controls and struggling with the basics, yet his account was already cleared for competitive matchmaking.
Viewers quickly noticed the account had been seeded into silver and gold-range games, with a Silver II placement. That kind of matchmaking suggested the account already carried MMR from prior use, throwing a brand-new player into lobbies with more experienced opponents. Early performances reflected the gap, including one game with a 3/14 scoreline.
Jynxzi reportedly said his brother had leveled the account for him. Either way, it wasn’t self-leveled, which is exactly what triggered Riot’s response.
Riot’s Drew Levin addressed the situation directly on X, writing that “buying accounts still illegal fyi.” He followed up with a fuller statement: “our terms of service prohibit account sale and transfer as well as a number of ranked manipulation and boosting patterns of behavior. the account in question has been banned and we’ll continue to combat fake account leveling practices where we detect them.”
