Meddler has confirmed that Death Recap will be made useful come next patch or the one after. Also, a new banwave will hit a huge swath of cheaters (but not bots). Lastly, Elise will likely receive some changes in the next PBE update.
- Death Recap changes in Patch 5.12/5.13
- Anti-cheater banwave incoming
- Elise changes in next PBE update
- Interview with Carman Lam, Champion Organizer
Fair question. We’ve been pretty quiet on Death Recap for a while, it’s definitely been on our minds though. We’ve been doing a fair bit of work on it, and at a guess, should be in a position to release that in either patch 5.12 (the next one) or 5.13. That work’s been focused on ensuring that Death Recap properly collects data more consistently and, once it’s got it, attributes it to the correct unit and spell.
Having said that, we don’t want to over promise here. We think these changes will turn Death Recap back into a tool that feels informative and worth using, they’re certainly not going to fix every issue however. Feedback on how you find Death Recap after the changes will be extremely helpful as a result and we’ll include mention of the changes going out in the notes for whichever patch they’re in.
Just wanted to give you all some visibility on a wave of bans we have incoming for cheaters in League of Legends. Up front: it’s always a challenge communicating about our anti-cheat efforts, due to the fact that we don’t want to tip off potential cheaters as to our tactics (they are many!) and when we’ll be taking action.
That said, this is an issue we’re passionate about tackling and, while we can’t be super transparent in this space, we wanted to at least show we care a great deal about preserving the competitive integrity of League. We’re going to continue ramping up our anti-cheating efforts for the future and, even if you don’t hear from us, we hope you don’t take our silence for inaction.
These bans will be permanent vacations from the game.
As someone who has seen plenty of bots in games, I feel your pain. This ban wave will not include bots, but we’ll be doing ban waves for them soon. I can’t say exactly when, but this is more “as soon as possible” rather than “soon”. As much as we strive to stop cheaters, we’re just as passionate about giving bots the boot.
