Developers by League of Legends can make mistakes balancing champions or with a new version that does not meet expectations. There are always reasons for the community to criticize Riot Games, because the goal of both is for the video game to reach its full potential. However, the constant evolution of complaints is a good sign of the company’s ability to solve problems. It is the complaints that persist over time that are the most worrying and, unfortunately, there is one that has been repeated for too many years. We are, of course, talking about behavioral problems.
The streamer who bypassed all of Riot Games’ punishments
The controversial final chapter that demonstrated Riot Games’ big problems with controlling player behavior was played by a content creator associated with the developer. The streamer Vapora Dark , which is part of the company’s official collaboration program with content creators, is said to have blatantly violated League of Legends rules. The fact was discovered after finding that before launching a challenge related to ranked games, the account he uses has lost more than 20 consecutive games at ridiculously low ranks for an elite player.
The streamer used bots capable of entering ranked matches to lose on purpose and fall to the worst rank in the game. This way, his future challenge would start from the lowliest area of the qualifying ladder. The problem is that there are only two ways to do this and neither of them respects the Summoner’s Code. He either installed the bots himself to play League of Legends games bypassing automated punishments or bought an account from another player. In both cases, his account should have been banned according to Riot Games rules.
The particularly painful thing in this case is that it is the community that must have discovered it , exposing Riot Games’ automatic punishment systems. It is unthinkable that the developer does not have a system that detects players who lose dozens of games and skip League of Legends statistical logic. Of course, there are very bad players who have every right to enjoy the video game even if they lose hundreds of times in a row, but the differences between a human and the undeveloped artificial intelligences – in this respect – are obvious. .
The future of the streamer involved in this situation is unclear. Most likely, his account will be banned as soon as the situation reaches the ears of Riot Games employees and this content creator may lose membership in the League of Legends Affiliate Program . A sanction no doubt fair, but which never ceases to show how absurd his practice has been. Hopefully, he’ll get a second chance and rise to the occasion, even if the company will hardly let the situation pass. Indeed, they tend to be particularly hard on content creators to whom they offer advantages by being their great representatives within the community.
