Who knew a surefire way to incite rage in your nerd boyfriend was to pick the “wrong” character when playing the video game League of Legends? According to The Daily Dot, when LoL gamer XJ9 — described as a “a very skilled League of Legends player who could be pro if not for his emotional problems” — found out his girlfriend Sarah was playing LoL as
the character Lee Sin, he lost his shit. See, in XJ9′s view, playing
the game as Lee Sin gives players an unfair advantage in combat, or some
bullshit, so finding out his girlfriend was daring to play
that way was clearly a dealbreaker. Instead of breaking up with her like
a normal irrational, sad video game obsessed basement dweller, XJ9
posted nude photos of Sarah on his public Facebook page, where they
stayed for three days before a fellow LoL player named Destiny
threatened to post XJ9′s personal information unless he took them down.
And Destiny got the whole confrontation on tape, as the two chatted on
Skype while gaming. In the video above, around the 5:30 mark, you can
hear XJ9 attempt to justify posting the “revenge porn,” explaining to
Destiny why Sarah playing LoL as Lee Sin was a personal affront to him.
“We literally said to each other, ‘If I really hated you, the worst
thing you could do is play Lee Sin.’ And that’s what she did!” he
explains. Oh okay then.
This is not the first time XJ9 has used LoL as an excuse to
be a complete shitbird to the women in his life. In mid-September, he
admitted to hacking into an ex-girlfriend’s League of Legends
account and purposefully losing five games in a row “to spite her.”
(Apparently, five losses majorly impacts your overall standing in the
game. TRAGEDY.) Posting revenge porn of his current GF is certainly
taking the shenanigans up a notch, but unfortunately, posting revenge
porn is not illegal in most states. I’m not sure how the gaming world of League of Legends is governed, but I hope XJ9 is punished in some way. (And, in fact, he may have already been banned by LoL maker Riot Games.) There are some in the LoL gaming
community who believe XJ9 might have some mental issues, but there’s no
real proof of that. Meanwhile, Sarah has already dumped him, for
obvious reasons. (In other news, I’m still single, WTF.)
