Vanguard· Community ban reports
Vanguard is the anti-cheat behind League of Legends, and 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. That distinction matters once you have been banned: an account penalty ends with the account, while a hardware action attaches to the machine and greets the next account you make on the same PC.
No League of Legends bans have been logged here in the last 90 days. The enforcement on record for League of Legends is: Hardware Ban (HWID) — Riot Vanguard kernel driver (vgk.sys). An empty window is missing data rather than proof of calm — the chart only knows what players report.
This page is a community tracker, not an official League of Legends status feed. Players log their own bans here, and the aggregate is the closest thing to an early-warning signal for a sweep in progress. Read the numbers above, then use the diagnostic further down to work out which kind of ban you are actually holding.

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.

Select the issue you're experiencing
Not all bans are the same. Use the diagnostic below to find out whether your League of Legends ban is an account ban, IP ban, or hardware ban.
Knowing a wave is running does not tell you how long the penalty lasts. The ban duration database reproduces the stated League of Legends policy alongside every other tracked title, without rounding or estimating a value. For the mechanism behind the enforcement itself, how a hardware ban is built and applied walks through detection, review, and the identifiers that get recorded.
If the notice is fresh, start with the first moves after a ban lands before you replace parts or reinstall Windows. The full ban-type diagnostic carries more context than the compact version above, and the complete games directory shows which engine guards each title.
