This is frustrating, I constantly have had to worry about cheaters on my main account (plat) for awhile now. However the plague of scripters and droppers has now broken into lower leagues and not even my silver smurf is safe. Can we please have even more reassurance Riot? I only ask because when people in silver are now ruining my ability to enjoy the game something is up.
theblkhawk2 votesWhat is there to even look for in someone that is cheating?
MrDrRobot1 votesDepends on the kind of cheating they are doing. I wouldn't mind explaining some of the more prevalent ways if you want.
Faith Breaker2 votesPlease do
MrDrRobot2 votesScripting is the act of using integrated codes in order to abuse the game. The program reads the scripts the game is transferring to the computer. This can take many different forms from outright play (see below)

or this (180!)

or this (notice that literally impossible flash?)

Or this, which happens to be an advertisement (slightly scared to link this one)

to map indicators and what not
which I have trouble finding any videos for that aren't advertisements (which I am hesitant to give away since they are less obvious).
and lastly drop hacking which is just the worst (see beow)

This is the kind of stuff that has been plaguing league for far to long.
Faith Breaker1 votesThis is like back in grade school when you wouldn't wanna play Checkers with that one kid because he was always changing the rules and making up news and literally was cheat a sore sport and a cheater. The kind of kid that would peek at the cards given the chance, and would want to win at any cost.
I couldn't ever figure those people out. I don't get what they take away from a stolen victory. They more then anyone else even if it was ONLY them that knew, would know that they cheated. But they don't care how they just want to win and whatever it does for them it's enough to perpetuate this behavior into late stages of an adult's life
People in the work place seem almost excused, oh well it's for a raise, a promotion, self interest. But in other avenues of a person's life it's not seen as beneficial since the actions and events being done and held serve as a self rewarding mechanism. It's like if a person was to take clay and mold it into a sandwich. They could use different colors of clay to represent the bread meats and lettuce, and even knowing it was still clay, they'd eat it or serve it to someone else. Metaphorically that's the same as cheating on a test or a game.
3TWarrior2 votesI don't play ranked but in normals i've only met one or two scripters, and if you record (which as a platinum player you probably do or have a computer that can do so), riot takes hackers very seriously
MrDrRobot1 votesHaving a recording is nice since it guarantees punishment, as you stated, but I'm much more annoyed by how long these same things have been going on. I'm mostly just looking for assurance from Riot that they are looking to tackle was is an increasingly large amount of cheating.
3TWarrior2 votesthey will, but ultimately unless riot implements an anti-hacking measure, which doesn't work a lot of the time and adds unnecessary CPU and graphics requirments to the game, hackers depend upon the community whether they live or die. There is an option to report them though...I believe it is exploit under the options
MrDrRobot1 votesI have to admit a lack of faith in the report system especially in lower leagues where smurfs are prevalent and most of the players don't know the signs. These are the most abused ranks as many players don't have replay, or as previously stated, don't recognize the signs. They think someone is either a god or that their IP just effed up.
3TWarrior1 votessometimes I do have to wonder if one of the scripts effectively sets up a ddos attack by sending more commands than a lot of common players computers can handle, but their gameplay doesn't reflect it so there's no way to know
but then again, I think riot's servers are also going a bit out of date because they randomly go out even for players without a bad connection
magic pole1 votesya look at red posts. They justtt made a post a few days ago maybe, saying they are taking it very seriously. they just don't say much bc according to them, they don't want the cheaters to get any hints about their methods
im assuming the hacks/cheating are constantly evolving. consequently there are periodically waves of hacks before the anti-hack measures catch up to the new hacks.
what baffles me is why someone would even do this to gain LP. if you have to cheat to win, well, you didn't really earn your rank. your LP will be inflated and if you actually gain a lot via hacking, chances are you will get rekt in a fair game. makes no sense..to show off that shiny plat or diamond badge that you dont even deserve..people man...
Lugg2 votesI agree. I have run into cheaters on ARAM fairly often. The last one I saw was a Nami. She was INSANELY tanky. I mean she made Sion look like Fiddlesticks. I was playing Anivia and I was 1 shotting people but iI only did like 10% of her health and she had no defensive items.
Ahri Body Pillow1 votesI agree that scripters/cheaters are on the rise. I hate to be "that guy", but I played against a Thresh earlier that I'm pretty certain was scripting. His movements were awkward and he landed every hook that was not dashed or blinked out of. And I'm not talking about "7/10" every hook. I'm talking every single hook he threw, %100, which usually ended in a kill for the enemy team shortly thereafter.
