Wild Rift Punishes Win Traders
The announcement was made through the official Wild Rift social media handles. The devs stated that players with the highest win trading activity in Wild Rift would receive a permanent ban from the game. However, players with minor offenses will receive a 7-day ban. Riot Games will also remove all ranked season 1 rewards from their accounts and reset their ranks back to Iron IV. If these minor offenders are caught breaking the rules again, they will be permanently banned from the game.
The devs assured players that they would be careful about the criteria they are using to prevent innocent players from being banned unintentionally.
What is Win Trading in Wild Rift?
Win Trading in Wild Rift is the act where two or more players who are not on the same party intentionally start matchmaking together to end up in opposite teams. One of the players will then intentionally feed the enemy teams, which causes a one-sided match. This is common in high ranks, where it is easier to pull off due to the low player count.
