Too many scripters... Did riot give up on us??

TGI NOT Monday··5 votes·2,494 views

Recently, I have been seeing lots of scripters that obviously script at high plat ellos. I continuously reported them for using the hack but I saw too many of them recently, so I went to the biggest scripting website and checked out what's going on. I used to script back in season 4 since everyone seemed to be scripting at that time and eventually got my account banned during season 5. After the ban, I made a new account and never scripted again. According to the thread, there seem to be no ban waves for around 2-3 months and scripters are coming back. Did riot just give up? Platform and client is crashing, laggy, refuese to ban the scripters. At this rate, im quitting league and heading over to overwatch... I guess riot dont give a fxxx anymore.

link to the most used competitive scripting website aka "Bot of Legends" https://forum.%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/topic/98701-arent-there-any-banwaves-anymore/

Problem with cheaters or ex cheaters like u is that every time someone is better than you, you think he is scripting. I remember CS 1.6... Every time someone would get couple of headshots, he would immediately be accused of cheating.

Looks like Tencent is just milking money with this game.

Just like they're doing with Bizzard and Unreal Engine right?

Would you ignore the problems of your city just because the nearby ones are worse?

Absolutely not, but the argument that "Tencent is just there to milk money out of players" is at best a strawman argument. Cheating has existed since the dawn of competition, not just video games but sports as well. Stopping all cheating is impossible, and Riot does spend quite a bit of money in stopping scripters. In fact, they are actually in the process of suing one of the bigger scripting sites L#. Source

Cheating and hacking is a lot harder to detect than one might think. In the game, it may be obvious, but to a computer it is much harder to catch. And to say that Riot isn't banning people just isn't true. 1 2 3 All three of these (there are plenty others, if you really want I can link more) happened 2 weeks ago. To say that Tencent is just in there to make money by letting scripters go free just isn't true.

And if you think scripts aren't happening in Overwatch, CSGO, COD, Dota 2, etc. you must be very ignorant.

1.) Riot has to find the script 2.) Riot has to find a way to detect the script. 3.) Riot has to verify that it doesn't create false positives(they reversed a alot of bans when it detected a skin mod on accident at one point) 4.) Riot has to run a multi server scan for the script over a period of time to detect a high % of those using said script 5.) Riot then has to perform the actual ban waves on this script.

When you consider the amount of work required to find and ban for each and every script, Riot actually does a pretty good job. Each script/bundle of scripts created has to be found individually. Ban waves every 4-6 months is actually reasonable. However Riot is often able to do it alot faster with ban waves usually every 2-3 months.(based on what i have seen over the years) The harder the script is to detect (ie client side only) the longer it takes to detect and ban for.

Even if they use them now they will be banned when the wave comes around. It is frustrating that they aren't banned actively though.

Right, so I'm going to go report you for scripting like everyone else does to suspected cheaters. Now would you like your permanent ban NOW with no review of the claims or would you rather riot take time to investigate the claims.

If you picked the latter you answered your question.

Can confirm that there are a few scripters in Overwatch, unfortunately. So far I've only seen one person that I seriously suspect of cheating. Hanzo sniped me over and over again over the course of 3 games; kill-cam showed that his aim snapped to me unreasonably fast just before firing.

Well I mean, if they can develop a legitimate anti-cheat in Korea Source, why can't they do it in NA? I mean shit, we're talking about a company that has made over 1.6 billion dollars from ONE GAME. (that was back in 2015 so imagine how much they've made now.) Source Riot literally only has one game to currently upkeep. Why the hell can't they develop an anti-cheat worldwide for their ONE GAME? It's crazy, companies with much less money than Riot Games that have multiple games from their company have anti-cheat systems. I mean seriously, why do people defend Riot all the time. They've been saying they're going to do something about cheating since it started. It's been a few years now. We're tired of the talk. We want action.
