Help! The Elo boost spammers keep adding my account! (JK Answer inside..)

Mooblar··1 votes·337 views

The answer to this, riot, is to create a level cap for low levels (Preferably level 1's, but this is only an exception, not the rule) to add friends to their buddy list. I am consistently added by these low levels who then nuke me with elo boost offers. I am getting quite sick of it and this is an easy fix to assure I will not (And the community) be bothered by this crap anymore. I understand there are problems with this such as low levels wanting to add each other, but please just make it so level 1's cannot add friends, and you have to be atleast +1 level to the person you are trying to add (Maybe a cut off point at level 20? IDK this is an unpolished idea).

I have given you enough information what you could easily fix this with, and you obviously will have your own spin on it, but it will work so very nicely...you know it's true.

That is all, please riot help...

I'm sure that would be a good start, but really all it would do is slow them down by a couple hours (at best). After all, what's the harm in using a botting/scripting program to run a few games to level up before you start spamming - and then closing the account?

Like I said, it'd be a good start, and I'd love to see them implement it, but it's not likely to be an absolute fix.

What about an option that's reserved for you. I mean, what if you can have a filter enabled to create your own minimum requirement(s) (Level, elo, games played, etc) for people to add you.

Also, 90% of elo boosters aren't going to spend copious amounts of time creating and leveling new accounts. They are banned quickly and their resolve won't last very long i'm sure.

I like that idea even better, especially if there's a wide variety of options.

I dunno, they already spend a lot of time creating and deleting new accounts. I can't imagine it being that much more of a hassle to run a botting program to level them up a bit before they start spamming.

Appear offline what be an option I'd vouch for, I even made a thread about it way back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV-8LQXolrg

As for the account creation bot spam, I guess the ultimate answer is anti-hacking software, which would be another hassle altogether for them.

Riot has "anti-hacking" measures, it's just really really hard in general to stop client-side scripting/botting.

Adding a level requirement for the new accounts will just force the spammers to use bots to grind games, ruining matches for real players. Worse than the spam requests.

Actually, as far as I know, there isn't any anti-hacking measures really. What I'm talking about is programs injecting, file modification, and memory editing/debugging. What they have in place is like completely server-sided data which makes all of those things useless.....except macros and baby shit like doing automatic bot games. The only thing I didn't list was packet editing or packet injection because like I said, it's all server sided.
