Vanguard hits new 'bans-per-second' record


Ban hammer goes brrr after Riot-wide holiday break.

We are optimistic that it will stay this way for several months, and in the future, we’re going to try and pre-plan “surprise” updates for cheaters to deal with over breaks in an effort to make sure they don’t ever get to play on easy mode (for any amount of time). EU (Europe) has amusingly devolved back into circulating kernel cheats that leverage drivers with stolen or fraudulent certificates for “businesses” attempting to sound legitimate, like “Gary’s Pool Cleaners.” These are about as subtle as a brick to the head, so we don’t actually find detecting them to be too large an issue. Luckily, most of these are just desperate referral links using pre-recorded footage to give the appearance of something that hasn’t already been banned, and you can usually confirm such by looking up the account that they’re playing on (or just finding the client version watermark in the bottom right lolol).
