“Hundreds of Accounts Banned”, Riot Games Launches Merciless War on LoL Against Trolls Ruining Your Games
After the rest of this announcement
Unfortunately this is not a new phenomenon in League of Legends: reprehensible behavior, players commonly called trolls by the community. But this time, they took it to the next level. A small, apparently well-organized group of individuals are buying high-level accounts, and ruining each other’s games with bots. Riot Games is aware of the situation, and has already started cracking down.
Riot Games at War… Against players in War Against Riots
On Reddit, a player complained about a group of players using bots to “complain” (in-game misbehavior) to protest the fact that Riot Games… doesn’t ban trolls. In short, they are doing the opposite of what they are fighting against, but in their opinion, this is probably the only solution to attract the attention of developers. Ultimately, this only brings more toxic behavior into the game, and once again it is the honest players who suffer.
To carry out their misdeeds, they acquire fairly high-level accounts, and announce the color from the start of champion pick to force other players to flee the game. If unfortunately she launches, you will almost certainly face defeat. The author of the post also clarifies that he has been on several of his streams, and each account has over 500 champion selection dodges. So it is surprising that this group still has many accounts, although it is systematically reported by honest players.
His publication attracted the attention of a dev, who then told him that the studio was actively fighting the practice, and that hundreds of accounts had already been banned.
New tools against “suffering” soon?
When asked about the issue of the complaint, another Rioter said that he is working on resolving that issue as well, but doesn’t want to talk about it until he has something to share.
One thing is for sure, developers have a lot to do with bad behavior in LoL and organized groups like this can wreak havoc. We can bet that solutions will be quickly proposed to appease the majority of players who are just victims.
