Riot Games Cracks Down on Smurfs and Boosted Accounts
Riot Games is taking decisive action against unfair play in League of Legends. Starting from patch 25.18, the company will initiate a huge ban wave targeting thousands of smurf, boosted, and bought accounts. This move aims to improve the gaming experience for honest players and keep the competition fair.
What Players Need to Know
Riot Games has long struggled with players using smurf accounts or buying accounts to gain an edge. These practices ruin the matchmaking balance and frustrate genuine players. With the new crackdown, Riot is reinforcing their commitment to a level playing field in League of Legends. If you use or purchase accounts that are not your own, you risk permanent bans as the company rolls out stricter detection tools.
This large-scale ban is part of Riot’s ongoing efforts to foster a better, more competitive environment. Players are encouraged to play on their main accounts and avoid any services that sell or boost accounts. Stay updated with the latest patch notes and community guidelines to ensure your account remains safe.
