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

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.

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.

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.

Looks like Tencent is just milking money with this game.

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.

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.

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.

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.
