The Vanguard is coming to League of Legends, Riot Games confirm

Riot Games finally confirmed the implementation of Vanguard in League of Legends, which is set to go live in April 2024 globally. It will first be rolled out as a test on the Philippine servers and adjusted before being released globally.

Vanguard will end the game if it detects a cheater

Besides this, Vanguard will have one additional feature. It will have the power to end the match if any cheating is detected. Then it will penalise the cheaters.
