Okay... we are reporting this BoRK hack, and the board mods say it's "witch hunting" to post proof?
EDIT: Pendragon knows of the issue, I've made my point. Topic closed.

We're aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. Anyone who uses the exploit will certainly be punished appropriately.
Generally in that situation - additional reports do nothing to increase our awareness or improve our ability or desire to address it as quickly as possible, so at this point more than anything you're just raising awareness to more folks who might want to try it.
The other thing to note that "proof" in the sense of calling out an individual is certainly witch-hunting. We have technological means to identify and verify people who are doing this.
They banned 3 of my accounts from the boards...for attempting to report this exploit. My friend also was banned trying to report a WarWick that was doing it earlier tonight.

Riot is deleting peoples posts on their forum...and banning them. Let your voice be heard on reddit...if you get banned from forums. These exploits are spreading like wildfire...wont be much of a season 5 left, if this keeps up. Only automated responses to any tickets opened....
If the videos you're linking show specific players, then you are going on a witch hunt, whether you're trying to, or not. I'm sure Riot knows about the hack and is working on a fix. Moderating your content doesn't mean they're supporting hackers.
Pokeboy0522 is one of the user of this hack
My thread was also got deleted. I posted a video proof on it and riot's reason to delete it : "Reporting a player" when I was actually trying to tell Riot about the hack has gone viral and it's everywhere.

My thread had to be in GD but we have over 300 views and screenshotting all the hackers.

This Happend to me just now I dont know what I feel about loosing 19 lp in gold rank , we were ahead but then the warwick started hacking and lost us the game I wish I this guy gets banned or something or I coudl atleast get my lp back ...
just send in a support ticket with details and your proof. There is no need to make a public display.
so basically, what I'm gathering from Pendragon anyways, Riot won't stop the issue right now even though it is causing problems right now.
Supposedly the new map was supposed to come with stronger security measures to prevent shit like this. awkwardly long pause
Additionally, they won't communicate the problem effectively to any of us unless we call them out on it.
I'm not terribly sure what to believe. Riot seems too concerned with laying the smackdown on people who don't say anything in chat, but still get chat penalties, to worry about people who hack games and cause legitimate issues.
I also searched him up after the game on lolking and it says he is level 0 and that he has won every game he has played.
Here are two videos of hunglowharry using the BOTRK hack... It's the second time ive played with someone who hacked during ranked games...

Luckily this time it was on my team this time, not on the enemy...
I've read through quite a bit of what was said here and just wanted to drop my opinion in. First and foremost, players have the right to know an exploit exists and is being used. "But then more people will use it!!!" the burden here is not on us for informing the players about it, but Riot for allowing the opportunity for such an exploit to exist. This is doubly appropriate considering Riot will not retroactively be fixing the damage it has caused. If Riot won't look out for us, we have to look out for us.
Supposedly this thing has been happening for months...think of all of the hours of play, ELO, etc this thing has caused. If Riot won't handle it then it is our responsibility to bash them over the head with it until they do.
This entire topic is what, in my opinion, is wrong with modern day Riot. Scroll through a couple of pages of GD or boards...there are so many real issues affecting the majority of the player base, almost all of them going completely ignored and, if not, are just being told "we have more important things to do right now, we'll get on it eventually".
What are we going to do about 4v5s? When is "everyone experiences the same level of afk and trolling" going to stop being an approrpriate response? When are bans going to be about strategic play and not banning FOTM/known to be OP champs? Why does Lucian get removed from pro tournaments AND is acknowledged to be problematic, but he remains in ranked play? When does East coast get a server? When will Sion work fully? When will the various loading in screen bugs be handled? And that's just a few of the very real, rather important questions I've seen in the past 12 hours on these boards. No whining, just a want to actually be able to play the game as intended.
Well I went to play a game on my smurf which I am leveling and everything is fine and dandy bot lane but then a wild nasus appears and literally without once touching us Proceeds to Botrk me and my friend to death. He had no items at the time either and at the end off the game had a warmogs. His name was LoLlolLoLllll and in the after game chat started typing in a foreign language. It was a very unpleasant to say the least and makes me wonder how many other people are using this exploit.
What's witch hunting?
