Potentially dumb question: how do cheats even work in a game like LOL? I understand aimbots in a FPS and how they can give a pure mechanical advantage, but the LOL equivalent isn’t obvious to me. Does the client have access to data that’s not supposed to be exposed to the player?

Aimbots work in LoL too, there are champs that are balanced around lots of skill shots (Xerath) who you’d see hitting every single shot all game. There’s also a lot of scripting, both for account leveling or just to automate boring parts of the game. You’d see people afk playing their lane for 20 mins and not responding to anything happening in the game, then suddenly running into the other team for a big fight.

There are still aim bots in lol because there are aimed skill shots for most of the champions. Scripting is abilities is probably the main method of cheating though.

This anti cheat software is for their new game valorant which is a counter strike like shooter.
