One of Riot’s anti-cheat team’s “strongest weapons,” he said, is discrediting cheat developers publicly by, for example, banning all their players, or leaking screenshots showing they are inside their Discord channels. A more advanced version of this type of cheat, according to Koskinas, relies on HDMI fusers, which overlay what’s read by the separate computer back on the cheater’s main screen. If the cheat performs well, it can be hard to detect, but Koskinas said that in the long run, the cheater “doesn’t look like a human player” because of how accurate they are aiming and shooting at their rivals.
