I'm worried about something

Since I just read a forum about a soldier playing League in multiple places , I've become afraid to play League any where else other than my own home. I do not own a computer or monitor, but I do have a laptop that I use at home and wherever I'm traveling. I was wondering if I would be banned if I decided to play games on my laptop at an area other than my home. Of course, I'm the only person that has played on this account, and I'm not the type of person that would let someone else onto my account.

You don't have to worry about it. MMR Boosting bans are not given out just because you played with a different IP. What would be suspicious is if your behavior drastically changed at the same time your IP does.

LEGITIMATE PLAY PATTERNS ARE OK

Before we get to the overview of our detection process, let’s first examine some variables that we always keep in mind when digging deeper into MMR Boosting cases. We know that play styles and environments are different for each player, and these things can vary from game to game. To account for these situations, we consider a wide variety of factors in our process to ensure we are making accurate decisions. We can identify and account for these sorts of circumstances:

Relocation (semester abroad, family moves, etc.) Play from a friend’s computer PC Cafes and LANs Good coaching from your challenger level buddy Trying a new build Trying a new champion Experimenting with key bindings Going on tilt Keep in mind that we are committed to not punishing anyone unless we have 100% certainty that MMR Boosting is occurring.

Also, if you are traveling due to military deployment, be careful of logging in onto public computers to play (PC cafes); they can have keyloggers that record your account info, though it'd be a bit paranoid to think it's common. Don't let the client save your info though.

This most recent case I can't comment on. However, about a year and a half ago there was a similar story. A soldier who went abroad a lot. A Rioter showed up, checked the account again and confirmed that no mistake was made. These are the only two such cases I have heard about in League history. 1 of them was definitely not a mistake. I think you will be fine.
