The famous League of Legends streamer, Sardoche recently spoke about the harassment he has been experiencing for more than two years and also denounces the lack of support from streamers on his situation.
For more than two years now, Sardoche has become the favorite target of many streamsnipers who are constantly looking to ruin his games in order to crack him live.
Known for his moments of extreme rage on the game of Riot Games, Sardoche has suffered for more than two years now from constant harassment from many people who have the sole purpose of seeing him lose control live and make him lose on the different games he plays.
And recently, sardoche decided to take the floor on Twitter by again denouncing the harassment he suffered and revealing through a YouTube video how his harassers act.
A discord to track down Sardoche
If you’ve hung out on a Sardoche live in the last few weeks or even months, you must have heard him talk about a Discord server where hundreds of players are constantly trying to get into the same game as him in order to to troll him so that he loses and rages live.
On the occasion of a Twitter thread published on January 24, Sardoche shared a video in which we can see members of the Discord in action.
For the few FR streamers who have had gigantic bars in front of the Discord Snipe videos when you know very well the hell I’m going through, take advantage of these last few weeks son of a bitch because for 3 months I’ll be live 8 p.m. /24.

In a conversation involving more than 30 people, we can thus hear members of Discord making fun of Sardoche while tracking each of his parts in order to fall with him.
And when Sardoche naturally cracks by suddenly cutting his stream after these malicious people have rotted him several games in a row live, he sometimes tries to regain the points lost off stream.
But then again, Discord members are still stalking him and keep trying to fall for the same parties as him.
“In the end, we are really the most frequent viewers, we watch it even when it is not streaming.”
But once again, the harassment still doesn’t stop there as it even extends to the streamer’s personal life.
“I would like to have the recordings of a camera where you hear him freaking out behind… Uh who’s hot? Because we know where he lives.”
Over the past few months, Sardoche’s home address has been on the networks a lot and the streamer has repeatedly suffered repeated orders for food at his home as well as swatting.
A lack of support from LoL streamers
But alongside all this harassment Sardoche is experiencing, the streamer is also speaking out against the lack of support from his fellow streamers and even criticizing the fact that some have made fun of his situation.
“It’s been 2 years and I’ve never had support from any League streamer about any of this.”
It’s limited if it suits you to see me unable to launch any game live. Ambiguity is left hanging over my level to scrape some nails.”Sardoche said on Twitter.
Although he didn’t mention any names, many streamers were targeted in his thread’s comments and some condemned the facts.
I know the video is funny and I doubt that you wish me harm or that you think I deserve it, but I will never be so heavy on Twitter even if it means losing 500 followers / day if it was not really a lease madman.
I just don’t know what to do anymore.

Following the publication of this thread, some streamers and personalities in the field showed their support for Sardoche.
absolutely nothing funny and force you, for the support lease I just think that people don’t have enough perspective on what effect it can have, it’s not even mean, he sees it as a running gag I think, although obviously it’s serious

Harassment has never made me laugh personally, I even did a live to talk about your situation and that it was not normal for it to continue etc… Unfortunately, we can’t do anything about it.

To conclude, Sardoche reveals that he is better today even if he admits that he would feel better after all these bullies are finally punished for their actions.
“Honestly, I’m loving my life right now, I feel like I’m progressing in everything I do, but I’ll never feel good about myself as long as these dogs go unpunished. And failing to be helped by our incompetent society, sometimes I just wish for a bit of compassion.”
As a reminder, cyberbullying is an offense punishable by law. The penalties incurred are as follows:
- If the author is an adult, he risks 2 years in prison and a fine of €30,000. The maximum penalty can be up to 3 years in prison and a €45,000 fine if the victim is under 15 years old
