LoL: Riot bans a streamer for using account transfer to increase their MMR
0

A content creator has been banned after using the account transfer trick to rank. A system constantly exploited by League of Legends professionals against which Riot Games could have put the kibosh for years.

Many professional League of Legends players have been accused of artificially inflating their MMR to advance to the highest ranks in the game. To do so, they used an account transfer trick that Riot Games didn't seem to be acting against. However, the developer has drawn a red line by condemning such practices. At least that's the case with one content creator who got banned live for ' MMR Boosting '.

A punishment that marks Riot Games' new course of action

The banned content creator was surprised to find that he hadn't broken any rules. He also claimed to have made the account transfer only three times and not "dozens" as "other players" do. According to the source, the ban occurred after a viewer decided to file a manual report by emailing Riot Games' support team.

The punishment this content creator received seems completely justified. However, he is not lying when he says that there are many other players abusing this type of practice. The report created by the Spanish player WidowMaker and published throughout this week pointed to nearly fifty people. A list that continues to grow , including professional players participating in the highest European competition of League of Legends, and who have not yet suffered any consequences.

The penalty to which the content creator is exposed consists of a 14-day ban, a reduction in his honor and the impossibility of earning end-of-season rewards. Also, the penalty could get worse if he repeats this practice and could become a permanent ban. It remains to be seen whether the League of Legends developers will act with the same severity against all those who have taken advantage of this method.
