    • RIP Byron "Reckful" Bernstein

    Arguably the biggest WoW influencer of all time, depression haunted him for most of his life and unfortunately the backlash he received over his proposal over social media was enough to tip the scales.

    We lost a legend today. Depression plagues most of us throughout our lives. If anyone ever needs to simply speak to someone, never hesitate. Get help, seek friends and family.
     
    Fuck.....
    I was just watching Reckful 3 the other day.
    Been a fan of his since WoTLK. He broke the arena ladder, Blizzard said they never designed the system to hit 3k.
    Had him in a Wintergrap once, late at night. He asked how to get into the tanks. I remember seeing his name pop up in /general and freaking out haha.
    Big inspiration to me in this game. Didn't watch his stream much but I frequent his videos and his accomplishments during wrath always blew me away.
    Inspired me to roll rogue so many times only for me to realize how much I suck at it lol

    RIP to the best there was.

    If his wow account wasn't ever banned maybe this would have never happened, I mean... People go to Prison for less time. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
    *Just a thought I think Blizzard is to blame

    RIP

    The news killed my mood. I never thought I would be sad over a WoW streamer, but Reckful was a good guy. Why couldn't it be MethodJosh instead?

    Gonna post his recent twitter posts in case someone deletes them as the comments in his twitter suggests:

    Real bummed about this one. Dude had a big impact on me and was rly the only streamer I bothered watching in recent years aside from the random WoW twink stream (because let's be honest, most of the old WoW streamers we used to watch aren't the same anymore.) We weren't close to him personally, but it sure felt like it. I could keep typing more gushy shit but I don't feel like crying.

    Rest in peace Reckful, gonna miss you.

    Damn, RIP. Reckful was arguably one of the biggest WoW/HS influencers of all times, just a shame he couldn't find the help he needed. Sometimes I think he could have been happy with Becca if he had a bit more help

    I'm feeling a lot like I felt when Kobe Bryant died earlier this year. Heavy sadness. I didn't know Reckful personally but he was one of the most inspirational players to me in the wow pvp community. RIP

    RIP.

    On a major side note, I really hope Becca is OK and as well-thought of.

    That's a hard position for her to be in, as she may forever think that the reasoning of death was her fault.

    Yeah, absolutely.

    That's a horrible position to be in, and going to leave a long lasting damage.

    Just a shitty situation, all around.

    I know we all fuck around, tease eachother, etc. Especially on here and in other gaming communities. But mental health is no joke, and needs to be seriously addressed and taken care of.
     
    Did he suffer from drinking or any other substance? Usually when I see people tweeting vague and personal things like that, I figure they’re on something
