This is what WOW does when it catches cheaters. 100,000 accounts banned for six months in one swoosh of the scythe. Snatched the souls from modders and scripters. I guess it did take them a while to catch them though.

This overall states it. As I posted above. This is more a scare tactic than proof they're handling cheaters better than Riot.
Occams Raiser1 votesWouldn't it make more sense for punishment to be more swift on LOL because people have multiple accounts? They should be getting banned so much people are afraid to say the word troll.
Cindikle1 votesMost of what people consider trolling isn't something to ban over.
And I doubt Riot would really go out of their way to say how many people just got banned. They're already known as a toxic game to a lot of people. They don't want to remind us. I don't think the scare tactic would work here. Many trolls who are ragers think everyone else is the troll.
Occams Raiser1 votesThat is am opinion that Riot unfortunately agrees with you on. Trolling is anything that s deliberately detrimental or counter productive to your team attempt at winning. If you farm the "whole" game, fake engage enemies only to run when allies come to help, watch allies being killed from a distance where you could have helped. Doing nothing is one. Constant feeding. Talking is not troll. I don't care if a guy says suck a dick. I'll ignore it. For a game am not allowed to leave, chat problems are something falls low on my priority. Things that waste the game are high on the troll scale. But I am from a different generation than this, so I already know that my views are the opposite of common views of late.
WalkingInACircle2 votesWhat I want is for Riot to put them on a "No Priority Que". They click play, are told they are in que, and are left there.
redniwediS2 votesIf by a while you mean ~5 years, then yes it took them a while.
TurtleOSP1 votes5? lol, bots have been in WoW since the beginning. If you include anti-afk bots would be 10 years. I know people that have been botting since vanilla and haven't been banned once, that's common.
That being said, WoW bots are FAR less harmful compared to scriters in LoL. I guess interrupt bots and rotation scripts are bad in WoW, but they're far fewer in numbers. In fact, most people predict if WoW banned all the bots in WoW the economy would completely collapse. That's why they ban so few bots each wave. It's more of a show than anything else.
redniwediS1 votesThe particular bot program that's use resulted in the bans the OP is talking about took 5 years to crack. That is why I said 5.
TurtleOSP1 votesHB? Rebot is using this opportunity to promote lol. Tough to tell if HB was figured out. It was really detectable in terms of gameplay, just too hard for warden to pin down. If they did, congrats to Blizzard. That being said, botting will never die. It's the unfortunate part of MMOs.
Marthian1 votesTribunal is for chat-related punishments. Cheating/hacking is an entirely different thing (and Riot does deal out punishments on those too.)
Surr20plz1 votesChina is a disgusting place where political prisoners have their organs harvested for commie party officials.
The fact that this company does business with them is horrible.
