Today we opened up a new front in the war against cheaters. For the first time, we have deployed new technology that allows us to identify players using a client that was not distributed by one of our legitimate partners or by Kabam. In doing so, we found and banned over 10,000 accounts that have been using modified or otherwise illegitimate versions of our client to play the game. Another couple thousand accounts have received warnings for potential infractions, and if you received this warning know that your account will have more scrutiny on it moving forward. If you are in fact using an illegitimate client, now is the time to stop.

We believe this action will result in a massive improvement to the overall anti-cheat ecosystem, as the vast majority of players caught and banned for cheating so far this year failed this test.

Moving forward, all Summoners should be aware that using a client other than one distributed by us or our partners puts your account at risk of a permanent ban.
