Ban wave coming to na/euw?

Candoodle··1 votes·885 views

So i saw this post https://boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behaviour-en/9kPEo6GA-riot-statement-about-the-recent-boosting-ban-wave about a recent ban wave on LAS servers

Was wondering if we would be seeing a similar post soon about EU and NA

If a ban wave has already hit I know of at least 5 accounts that were being super obvious about boosting that didnt get hit. One of which i already submited a report ticket with evidence about weeks ago (cant name or link here for obvious reasons)

I guess that's really all i want to know, is there a ban wave coming or has it already hit?

I know i'm far from the only one in the community that's getting a little tired of people who flame getting hit almost instantly while people who boost and int get to keep playing for months on end even when the playerbase helps provide evidence. Yes, I know, flame is easier to detect than int or boosting but some of the boosters aren't even trying to hide it, they straight up tell you in the lobby if the summoner swap and champion pool wr difference wasnt obvious enough.

I mean would it really be that hard to make a automated script that looks for sudden spikes in winrate and summoner spell swaps?

Its already hit - boards are filled with people saying they've been falsely banned for boosting.

this news makes me happy and sad

I guess there really is absolutely no point whatsoever in submitting a report ticket regarding boosting.

Makes me wonder just how obvious and obnoxious you have to be about boosting for riots own system to detect it. Would probably have better luck making a reddit post than a support ticket if you want riot to actually react to something

Still happy that some of the boosters/boosties got hit. Thank you for the reply

To my knowledge they manually research the boosting cases, so depending on the staffing and workload those accounts may be hit by the next wave.

They could have also been caught but too close to the deadline. The reason they ban in waves is so that it is difficult for them to determine exactly what got them caught.

I'm sure they will all get what's coming to them eventually. Even if riot never catches them, the amount of grief they must get in their games and all the other side effects of being an overall douchey human being with no mindfullness of others is punishment in and of itself
