Can you do something about maphackers?

This is a perfect game for them. You can't even raise the issue, because somebody will tell you "they must have had wards". Even if you scanned your area, and have pink everywhere around, and still get hit by a blind ult over a wall, or the enemy steals your jungle camp with perfect timing, that must mean they have wards on the entire map, or just have perfect game sense, or some bullshit like that. Well, if drophacks or scripts are possible, why are people so stubborn to negate at least the possibility that maphacks exist?

If you're that paranoid about map hackers, start recording your games with replay.gg, and then you'll be able to see exactly what happened, as spectator mode shows both teams' wards.

And if I do spot a maphacker, what then?

I kinda believe this cause earlier today, a jinx randomly ulted me. I was behind the Dragon pit at full health then all of the sudden her rocket hits me. Why AND how did she know I was there? Then she's still at her base cause we killed her earlier. Her rocket takes time to reach a place that far and there was no way they went into my jungle cause we warded the entrances and the Dragon pit if they ever did it over the wall.

Uh, Jinx was likely using her ult to check if anyone was at dragon, and you happened to be in the line of fire at the time.

Yup. It makes no sense to ult someone at full health anyway, especially if there's no follow up.

If she actually map hacked, why would a Jinx ult someone at full health unless she was checking the dragon and why would she need to wasted her ult to check the dragon if she's maphacking......Logic kid, logic! Stop whining and git gud.

Probably either:

Using her ultimate to check if someone was on Dragon
Assumed you were doing dragon and tried to blindly steal it.
Saw someone recalling at low health and tried to snipe them in their fountain (but you blocked it)

If she could actually see you, why would she bother using her ultimate on a full-health target?

Because the game server does not send your computer information about units that you don't have vision of. If it did, you could create a maphack. It doesn't, so you can't.

Trias000Oct 1, 20151 votes

Where did you get that information?

OhBoyItsaMegamanOct 1, 20151 votes

If you use LoLReplay to record your games and also record the spectator stream for the same game, you can see that the spectator file is about double the size of the normal one. This is because while you are playing a game, the server doesn't send you the locations or statuses (health, mana) of things you can't see. The spectator file is larger because you are being sent all of that data all the time.

And I wasn't the one who downvoted you.

Sometimes it's possible to see animations or hear sounds through fog of war. So at the very least someone could program a sofware that would notify them of those glitches and let them know whenever an enemy champion uses an ability or dragon/baron attacks someone.

You prefer to downvote my question instead of responding to it? I guess that proves my point.
