Now, those same anti-cheat measures are going to be taken in League with the arrival of the 2024 ranked season.\u00a0 Since tactical shooters like Counter-Strike have a bit of a tainted history with cheating programs that allow players to artificially improve their aim or detect enemies through walls, Riot wanted to get out in front of that problem by creating a piece of software that would automatically detect players using cheating programs. In VALORANT, Vanguard works tirelessly to detect any cheating software that\u2019s affecting a lobby. If a cheating application is found to be in use by one of the players in a VALORANT game,\u00a0the entire game shuts down and everyone returns to the main menu without their rank being affected. While MOBAs like League don\u2019t have as rich of a history with in-game cheats as the shooter genre does, the game has still played host to its fair share of scripters over the years. League scripts are as old as the game itself and they help players dominate the Rift by elevating their gameplay. Some scripts have been known to make players better at hitting and dodging skillshots, perfectly farming creeps, and smiting jungle monsters.\u00a0 Vanguard is a mandatory install for all VALORANT players and you cannot run the game without it being properly implemented or updated on your computer. We expect the case to remain the same once it arrives for League.\u00a0 The announcement that Vanguard will arrive in League was made with the debut of Riot\u2019s look-ahead announcement trailer for all things coming in the 2024 ranked season of League of Legends. The in-depth look at what\u2019s in the pipeline for League fans also featured new details surrounding upcoming champion releases, changes to the game\u2019s ranked system, and a brief sneak peek at Arcane season two.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Xerath_0.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1084881"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1084881"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1084881\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1084899,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1084881\/revisions\/1084899"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/945449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1084881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1084881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1084881"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1084881"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1084881"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1084881"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1084881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
