As you know, a while ago, Riot announced the application of Vanguard to League of Legends. For those who don't know, this is an anti-cheat application that Riot has applied to later games like VALORANT as an example. Vanguard will be able to detect and immediately lock accounts that use third-party software that impacts the game and changes existing mechanisms in the game. This application also handles accounts that use mod skins (make your own skins) or if the device has software or applications installed that Vanguard suspects, the player's account may also “disappear”. ” immediately.
Riot is taking a strong stance against tools, hacking and cheating in League of Legends through the use of the Vanguard system
Recently, the League of Legends community was extremely excited when some gamers discovered that Riot's Vanguard was not only attacking suspected third-party cheating software, but was expanding the scope and targets of software IPs. based on (HWID = Hardware ID) of the user. This will help Vanguard detect cases of intentionally disguising third-party software or players who have been processed but perform tricks (change IP, fake DNS…) to bypass the system. Anti-Cheat. In addition, according to some statistics, since Vanguard was applied, the number of accounts processed has also increased dramatically.
“A huge account ban in League of Legends. Vanguard did a series of bans and the cheaters realized that this time it would include a ban on HWID (hardware IP – hardware)”
Since Riot applied Vanguard, the number of banned accounts has also skyrocketed
However, for some gamers, this move is still not 100% effective when there is an object that is being ignored: bots specialized in “buffing elo” or breaking the game are still being used. used by gamers. In addition, according to many opinions, if access to the device's hardware is prohibited, players with limited finances who can only buy used devices may encounter difficulties, or even be scammed when they have to buy new devices. The device has an average price but cannot play games.
Riot explains the case of mistakenly buying a used computer that has been banned from HWID: “For players to have their accounts locked after purchasing a used/refurbished computer, this is quite rare, but we have seen in VALORANT. Players can recover their accounts and hardware by contacting Player Support and providing the appropriate documentation (We've also seen some players intentionally lie about their claims). buy hardware). Don't worry, we have measures in place to prevent this. In rare cases, the number worldwide is quite low and will be viewed directly by the Anti-Fraud team review.”
Riot itself also said that they had anticipated these things when the case of buying a device that had been HWID in the VALORANT community. The solution is to simply send an email to Riot with valid attachments to be unlocked. However, Riot admitted that regarding the use of bots (in elo and ARAM buffs), the publisher is still finding a way.
There are also players who are concerned about Vanguard being applied but there is still bot usage in ARAM and Riot admitted they are still handling it because there are many bots being used.
With strong and somewhat drastic moves, Riot is showing that they really want to improve the League of Legends environment, which is considered toxic. However, the effectiveness of Vanguard or improvements to this system also need to be continuously evaluated because it will directly affect League of Legends gamers.
