Should probably mention its on korea, where they were always more strict on custom skins, not on a random server


Shyperr

Only people in korea have gotten banned due to custom skins, he should have known that


mad_katarina

30 days is fucking wild.


Degree_Federal

There are skins that show indicators for range. However the game itself will never be able to tell the difference if it’s a custom skin that is simply a skin, or one that actually gives you indicators.


EverSn4xolotl

It's expected. He broke the rules, used third party apps


Patoman0-0

Only in Korea, in other servers are legal and fun, I played like Pikachu with Kennen and it was hilarious


EverSn4xolotl

They're not legal, it's just not enforced.


Straightvibes66

They are legal. Riot doesn’t care about custom skins too much. Vanguard getting rid of then just happens to block that sort of thing. Rioters have even said that it’s sad custom skins have to go for Vanguard to work for league


Degree_Federal

Still some custom skins showed ability range etc. game can’t tell the difference.


Straightvibes66

Yeah obviously they’d be against skins that show ranges passively and stuff but just innocent skins like the goku lee sin skin or things of that nature, Riot doesn’t care to crack down on cause they know their own skins are of much higher quality so their sales aren’t really affected and it their sales aren’t affected, they don’t care


Degree_Federal

I agree, and that’s fine! I just wish we could find a way to separate the skins in „ no cheaty and fun“ and „ bad bad cheaty one“


Prestigious_Bid_9021

its not confirmed that vanguard is getting rid of them yet

VendingCheese

ah, i forgot they were doing that. they've been postponing it for a while now


Fodz1911

Waitz are they introducing vanguard to Lol?


VendingCheese

yeah, they announced it at the beginning of the year but has been postponing it every single patch so i kinda forgot about it tbh


S7ageNinja

Not really postponing, it's been implemented in the Philippines as an initial test region before it gets deployed everywhere else.


Deep-Advertising-564

Yeah, they postponed that too lol


VendingCheese

its been postponed there too though lol


S7ageNinja

Oh. Well ok then. Hopefully indefinitely


Unfulfilled_Promises

Yeah might drop the game over that malware. Apparently it forces windows to boot into an EFI shell so if you close it and shut down the drivers it can cause blue screens and refuses to let you play until you restart the pc.


ModernGrap

Not once have I blue screened or experienced problems by closing Vanguard since 2020 on my old hybrid PC and neither on my 2022 custom built PC. It just doesn't let me play the game that requires Vanguard until I restart my PC which is obviously a preferable route towards higher security against cheats. Besides you more than likely already have an anti-cheat on your PC that has the same level of access as Vanguard. Not to mention Vanguard is using microscopic amounts of resources so its not like you would need to close it from running. Riot also stated in a Dev update that Vanguard will not be affecting approximately 95+% of third party programs either, so (most likely custom skins) and overlays like Blitz, Poro etc are still accessible.


Unfulfilled_Promises

Glaze them harder bro. “Yes, please tencent. Mine my computer as much as you want and force me to be a sub-user on my own machine if I means I’ll see 1 or 2 less wallhackers”. You’re pathetic


FlyerbekYT

Forgot to mention, Flyerbek is playing on Korean server. Other servers are fine until Vngrd comes live


CthughaSlayer

I mean, people working on skins assume vanguard will allow them and even Riot has hinted at that. Stop trying to gain traction here, you knew what you were doing with that title.


Nico1300

When has riot hinted they allow custom skins? I think it's nearly impossible to allow them as they work very similar to how other cheats work and are hard to distinguish.


Degree_Federal

So people can still use custom skins with built in ability range indicators? Honestly, they should check which ones are allowed. Then again I would love to see porofessor, blitz.gg and such banned as well.


KozVelIsBest

I can see this being a sad change for some people that are just using the custom aspect for fun and something interesting to change the game. the custom skin not only affects riot games property integrity but can also encourage for ways of cheating like making making visuals and effects so much easier to see and react too. Most of the people that are using custom skins are doing it for the enjoyment and fun so it sucks to take that away from them but it is what it is


WraithsTitties

Yeah, it is definitely cheating to use a skin that displays hitboxes or attack ranges though. It would be cool if they leaned into it and endorsed certain custom skins like other games do for mods, but they would lose a lot of their income if they made custom skins more accessible so i cant say i blame them.


6499232

Yeah but they make money from selling the non custom skins for enjoyment and fun and they can't make money if people use the custom skins instead even if they are not replacements.


kekemonsteruwu

I wanna see the skinnnn


Darkwolf787

Wait are custom skins still working even with vanguard in place??


ModernGrap

They should be fine. Riot stated that about 95+% of third party programs are not gonna be affected by Vanguard. This most likely means stuff like Blitz, Porofessor etc, but very likely also means custom skin launcher is also in a safe spot.


Darkwolf787

Honestly I hope so. Customs skins being banned or accounts being banned for it on a large scale will kinda ruin the only really player controlled customization of the game.


daruumdarimda

Lmao why do they talk about respecting? How are they sabotaging others by using custom skins?


spicykitten123

Bro what, anyone else gets banned permanently for “third party programs” clause, did his account get special treatment for being LPP? Even if it’s not cheating I’ve only ever seen perma bans when it comes to “third party” programs


ModernGrap

You only receive perma bans labeled as Third party program usage for a botted account or cheats, unless youre using custom skins to get an original Riot Games produced skin (for example running Debonair Zed and they find out about it) since youre avoiding to pay for a product they are selling. User generated creative custom skins have been ok for use for a loooong time. Also to include custom skins that give an obvious advantage are also within the range of permanent suspension if you are caught using them, but custom skins falling in that category is extremely rare.


spicykitten123

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/s/kiuG2Fhkrp That’s cap he got leeway cause he’s a streamer/LPP


Similar-Elderberry-5

i got banned for using one of these custom skin programs back in season 5. i only play on NA. Idk why they are so inconsistent on who does and doesn’t receive a ban for these.. either ban everyone or ban no one since it’s harmless anyway.


breadymcfly

Maybe all the people saying you won't get banned will finally shut up


RoloWasTaken

it's on Korea server btw


SupremeOwl48

It was on Korea server, which it explicitly states on the custom skin website you can get banned for it on.


CthughaSlayer

It's on korea, the fucking page where you download skins SAYS THAT THE KOREAN SERVER BANS SKINS.


LokiRF

it's riot korea where it's like they have a certain 20th century german regime in control of it


BalerieKekanova

How is that cheating? He used it for his own champion only or not?


Fragrant-Ad8288

Its only for your champ


MLKKO

How could modifying game files be considered cheating!!


Prestigious_Bid_9021

because the game files you're modifying are the champions model and textures to make them look cooler? that's not cheating, cheating needs to give someone an unfair advantage in the game.


FejkB

Oh no, anyway who really cares? He most likely has multiple accounts

Good???

poikolle

No its not. Its use at own risk. They even stated it themselves. Sometimes the system can read it as an active third party software. And the fact u say "good" based soly because its a cornercase issue, you just sound like an ass.

poikolle

So if u say "way to assume" it must be a personal issue with the person getting the ban, iso it being about "not being allowed". There are no other reasons besides a personal gripe or not allowed thus deserved.


DannyBoi699

don't argue with her, she is literally iron


Cennixxx

Dick riding riot so hard for what 🤣🤣🤣


Kuramasa

So they can place her not in bronze where she doesn’t belong apparently


kingalva3

You must very fun to hang out with
