In the run-up to League of Legends Season 13, developers are testing new in-game items. However, a bug has now appeared on the test server that has banned innocent players. Players didn’t know what they did wrong but couldn’t access the game anymore. However, Riot Games was able to identify and correct the problem promptly.
What was the problem?
Here we have a video for you how big League of Legends has become:
Players are unbanned again – the problem was apparently with Riot
Riot has a fix for the issue: After many players at Riot Games were banned for using a “third party tool” or a “cheating program”, they are now rowing back. They can reject the theory on Reddit that it is due to the item “Heartsteel” (via Reddit).
They fixed the error and unlocked the banned accounts again. Meanwhile, Riot Games will be looking into accounts that were banned due to this bug and reverting it.
The bug is probably a problem with a spell. The issue stems from an error in the code where Riot’s anti-cheat program intervened. As a result, many players were unfairly banned.

What is this item?
So what happens now? All in all, one is very happy that the problem does not occur on the live server and bans a lot of players there. This gives the Riot Games developers enough time to remove this error and other bugs from the game and to prepare for pre-season changes on the live servers.
In the video from “RossBoomsocks” (via YouTube), the content creator talks about the fact that the anti-cheat program wants to unban players automatically, but it may also be that some players have to be unlocked individually.
If you found other bugs and problems on the test server, let us know in the comments.
