Vanguard, the initially controversial anti-cheat software attached to Valorant, is coming to League of Legends.
In a preview ahead of the game's new season, head of League studio Andrei van Roon announced that Vanguard would be coming to League of Legends. In an accompanying press release, Riot said that the decision was "a response to the feedback around high number of bots in games, disruptive smurfs in Ranked, and an increase in scripting." As in Valorant, Vanguard implementation will allow for live matches to be terminated if cheating is detected, with ranked points being refunded to players affected.
