Player Behavior summary: In the next few patches we're rolling out a bunch of features to make your game experience better. Boosting and Hitchiking - We banned and reverted the ranks of tens of thousands of accounts that have been boosted or hitchiked. We're taking it slow to make sure we don't hit innocent accounts Purchased and Botted Accounts - In our last wave, thanks to the Anti-Cheat team we've banned ~4.5 million accounts - 1.5 million accounts that were botted and sold - 400k that were bought, used in Ranked and have been destroyed - 2.5 million Ranked ready accounts that were waiting to be sold - If an account is purchased or sold as of 25.18, we will catch it eventually and it will be destroyed Account & Penalty Linking - We're looking to take action on accounts that we're sure share an owner starting in Patch 25.23 - We know Penalty avoidance is an issue and we're looking to put a stop to it Streamer Mode - An improvement on streamer mode is launching this Patch (25.20) that can hide any identifying information from lobby to end of game Check out the FAQ on Purchased and Botted accounts here: leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev… And check out the Dev Blog with more details about account linking and streamer mode here: leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev… We're just getting started trying to make the Rift the best it can be and thank you for coming along on the journey with us.
