Riot Games locks nearly 300,000 League of Legends and VALORANT accounts for ranked cheating
Riot Games locked nearly 300,000 League of Legends and VALORANT accounts for ranked cheating since September 2025, when Vanguard was integrated into League of Legends. The number is about 0.2 percent of an estimated 140 million monthly players. Riot plans MFA, TPM 2.0 hardware attestation and rank-tiered verification. Key facts: - Nearly 300,000 accounts locked for ranked cheating, boosting and hitchhiking. - Vanguard anti-cheat expanded from VALORANT to League of Legends in September 2025. - Smurfing is not automatically cheating; Riot listed eight legitimate cases. - Hitchhiker accounts can lose LP even without direct rule-breaking. - Future verification includes MFA, TPM 2.0 and hardware authentication. Source: Riot Games official announcement, September 2025 | Cross-checked: VuaBong.vn Related Q&A: Q: Will Riot ban all smurf accounts? A: No, Riot explicitly allows many smurf use cases and focuses on boosting and ranked manipulation. Q: What is a hitchhiker in ranked? A: A player who uses their own account but queues with a boosted account and can lose LP by association. Q: How will TPM 2.0 affect players? A: It will bind accounts to hardware, making new one-time accounts harder to create while raising privacy and accessibility concerns. VangBong.vn Player Depth Index suggests enforcement will tighten most visibly at high ranks, where scouting and semi-pro visibility concentrate.
Riot Games has announced a massive enforcement wave targeting ranked cheating in League of Legends and VALORANT. Nearly 300,000 accounts were locked for boosting, ranked manipulation, and related violations since Vanguard was integrated into League of Legends in September 2026. The number represents roughly 0.2 percent of an estimated 140 million monthly active players. More important than the ban tally is the policy shift: Riot is expanding Vanguard from software-cheat detection to behavioral enforcement across the ranked system. Riot also introduced LP loss protection for games affected by cheaters or leavers, announced that smurfing is not automatically considered cheating while listing eight legitimate cases, and said hitchhikers who queue with boosted accounts may lose LP even if they used their own accounts. Future plans include multi-factor authentication, TPM 2.0 hardware attestation, and rank-differentiated verification requirements. The crackdown raises significant questions about false positives, due process, privacy, accessibility for internet-café users, and whether the boosting market will be displaced rather than eliminated.
