Nickich, a former pro LoL player and Twitch streamer has been given an indefinite Twitch ban and it’s a confusing case. As usual, Twitch offered no real qualified reason why the person was banned, except for “unmoderated hateful conduct”. It’s really unfortunate timing for Nickich, who just put off going back to his college studies so he could stream full time. Instead, he received a mysterious indefinite ban on the morning of March 20th. This happened in the middle of a stream, and he has yet to hear back from Twitch on any form of appeal.
Nickish Twitch Ban: Could It Be A Mass Report By Another Former LoL Streamer?
LoL streamer Nickich made one final appeal on Twitter for help in the situation of his Twitch ban. He recently had this to say on Twitter:
This is my last beg for help, I have no more options @TwitchSupport pic.twitter.com/P0U9iE8jyu

“It’s been over two and a half weeks and I haven’t heard anything back. No progress has been made. Twitch hasn’t hit me up. Nobody has been able to do anything.”
It’s been said this may have been in response to some drama with Gross Gore. It sounds like Nickish trolled Gross Gore after they were banned and unpartnered from Twitch. Gross Gore was banned for “adult sexual exploitation” after several allegations were made against them. The allegations include showing content of another person without consent – revenge porn.
Nickich does believe it could be a mass report from Gross Gore’s fanbase in response to the streamer being banned in the first place. That’s a really awful thing to happen if Nickich actually did nothing wrong to deserve the ban. Yassuo, Voyboy, and other luminaries in the LoL community spoke out about Nickich’s Twitch ban also.
It sounds like Nickich is a beloved part of the LoL community, so to see an indefinite Twitch ban for seemingly nothing smacks of frivolity, or someone else being incredibly vindictive. Nickich had to move in with his grandparents to shift his focus on full-time streaming, and also had this to say about this timing:
“My numbers were getting real good, I had a lot of subscribers. I was peaking and everything and I really thought this was my chance to go full-time and really focus on streaming for a couple months to see what I can do,” he added. “I got hit with this ban and I’ve been filled with anxiety.”
It’s got to be an upsetting thing to see, finally being on the upsurge, and getting a permaban for something you aren’t even sure about. If it’s another streamer being upset that they were banned, and thus are taking it out on Nickich, that’s something that should be taken care of immediately. Completely ruining someone’s streaming career and harming their livelihood, when they’ve done nothing to deserve it is a shame, to say the least. We hope this all works out for Nickich.
