Can riot do something about hackers

Honestly for me riot isn't doing good job about these hackers/scripters Keep in mind I'm not trying to trash-talk riot's game itself (gameplay, design etc.) I am bringing this up because I see too many players getting banned because someone entered their account and used scripts/macros Worst part is that riot doesn't give much information about the ban. They usually say "Ummmmm you have been perma banned because you used scripts, thank you for playing lol and wasting 1000$ on it :)" These hackers need to go away riot If you can't do anything, say it. As community, we need some kind of response Me personally, I am waiting for it

Thanks for reading

There are tons of services that have a one-time password system,

The big MMO's have it Google has it (and some companies use google's) Steam has it

I don't see why Riot can't implement their own. It would go a long way towards making a person's account more secure.

Rather than trying to fight fire with fire, just install a 2 phase authentication system, solution done.(costs money..... for this to be installed riot won't do it unless economically more viable than current standards)

In regards to hackers.... If your account gets hacked you are really at fault One of my accounts has been "hacked" apparently it was using the most obvious password....(12345A was not a good password apparently) Did i think gee, damn riot for taking action to keep the game clean... Nope, the fault was mine an mine alone. You can always appeal the ban, simply request they look at ip's, 99% of the time a hackers ip is not your standard ip.(or even in your region) you prove that and prove you were off the account for xyz reasons(deployed overseas is a good reason not to be playing league) And then let the support staff resolve it(they're not dicks, they do the best they can based off the info provided)

Also if you spend 1000 bucks on league and you are trusting a 1 phase to keep your account safe, gl is all i have to say.

And as individuals, we need to take enough responsibility to use proper passwords. I noticed how your phrasing avoided that particular subject completely.

Example password (this is the kind of passwords I use):

BM:%x03_^4+d|7YZ54lb

Different one for everything you have, and good luck, hackers. Sure, it's always possible to circumvent it. We frequently read about Reddit, Youtube, Facebook, Valve and other large companies admitting to their servers being hacked and passwords getting on the loose, but then it's at least not our own fault when it happens.
