League of Legends Ban Wave Tracker

Vanguard· Community ban reports

Vanguard protects League of Legends by running continuous integrity checks during gameplay. It loads at boot via a kernel-mode driver that runs continuously while Windows is up, reads SMBIOS tables, disk serials, CPU identifiers, MAC addresses, and TPM 2.0 endorsement keys before any user-space tool can intervene. When a ban wave hits, the effects are sudden — players who were fine yesterday wake up to find their accounts inaccessible and new accounts instantly flagged on the same PC.

This page collects ban reports from League of Legends players to identify these patterns. The 90-day chart below shows daily report volume so you can distinguish between an isolated ban and a wider sweep. If the reports are spiking, there's likely a ban wave in progress. If it's quiet, your ban may be an individual enforcement action.

About these reports

The reports on this page are community submissions from League of Legends players who were banned for any reason — anti-cheat detections, ban waves, false flags, account-sharing, cheat-software use, suspicious behaviour, payment disputes, and so on. They are not bans that occurred while running TraceX HWID Spoofer. TraceX rewrites hardware identifiers to bypass an HWID ban after the fact — the data here exists so players can see ban-wave patterns and decide what to do next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a League of Legends ban wave right now?+
Check the live ban report chart above. If you see a spike in reports over the last 24-48 hours, a ban wave is likely in progress. When reports stay below normal levels, it's more likely that individual bans are being issued rather than a coordinated sweep.
What should I do if I got banned in League of Legends?+
Start by identifying what type of ban you received. Use the HWID Ban Checker below to diagnose whether it's an account ban, IP ban, or hardware ban. Account bans only affect one account. HWID bans flag your PC's hardware identifiers, meaning every new account you create on the same machine will also get banned.
How does Vanguard detect hardware bans in League of Legends?+
Vanguard loads at boot via a kernel-mode driver that runs continuously while Windows is up, reads SMBIOS tables, disk serials, CPU identifiers, MAC addresses, and TPM 2.0 endorsement keys before any user-space tool can intervene. It builds a unique profile of your machine and checks it against a database of banned hardware signatures. If your hardware profile matches, you're banned before you even get past the login screen.
How often does League of Legends run ban waves?+
There's no fixed schedule — League of Legends's ban waves depend on when Vanguard updates its detection methods. Sometimes waves happen weekly, other times there can be months of quiet followed by a large sweep. This tracker helps you spot the pattern.
Can I play League of Legends again after a hardware ban?+
A hardware ban can only be bypassed by changing the identifiers that Vanguard flagged. This means either replacing physical components or using an HWID spoofer to rewrite the identifiers permanently — TraceX does this once, then you delete the binary and reinstall League of Legends on a clean profile.
