Cheating in League of Legends has always been a pressing issue for both the publisher and the community. Recently, players discovered that cheating software has progressed to the point of adding features in the League of Legends client. This indicates that Riot needs to take stronger measures to punish cheaters.
However, the main character in this story – JackeyLove found himself in a “laugh or cry” situation when he was mistakenly identified as a cheater. The star AD carry of Top Esports even had his account banned simply for… playing too well.
The incident occurred during JackeyLove’s latest stream when he chose to play Sivir while climbing ranks. In a skirmish in the Mid Lane, JackeyLove continuously made smart moves, dodging key abilities from the opponents. Additionally, he dealt significant damage and took down a large portion of the enemy’s health.
This created a huge advantage for JackeyLove’s team as they took down 3 enemy members. Just when victory seemed within reach, this player was flagged by Tencent’s system (the publisher of League of Legends in the LPL region) as a cheater and had his account banned. JackeyLove himself couldn’t believe his eyes when he found himself in this situation.
While it’s unfortunate for JackeyLove, the situation highlights that this player still possesses extremely impressive individual skills. In the recent transfer season, TES signed two noteworthy players, 369 and Meiko. Combined with JackeyLove’s outstanding personal skills, TES will be a team to watch in the upcoming LPL season.
In summary, while it’s unfortunate for JackeyLove to be banned, this is actually a positive sign for this player. Who knows, JackeyLove’s ability to “play League of Legends like a hack” may help TES win a title in the upcoming season.
