According to GameRant , cheating has become a serious crisis in online games, and Riot Games' Valorant is no exception. Despite being powered by the advanced Vanguard anti-cheat system, the game still faced a surge of cheating players in early 2025. In January alone, an average of more than 8,000 violators were taken down every day, marking one of the largest anti-cheat campaigns Riot Games has ever launched.

Phillip Koskinas, head of anti-cheat at Riot Games, said that they will not only focus on banning accounts but also implement a rank removal feature. This feature will reverse the rank progression of matches affected by cheating, in order to minimize the impact of cheating on honest players. In the event of cheating on the winning team, the entire team will retain their rank, while the opposing team will be restored to their original rank.
Statistics from Vanguard show that the use of cheating software accounts for the largest proportion, followed by hardware interference and editing of system files. In particular, January 13 recorded a record number, when more than 11,000 accounts were banned in just one day, showing that hackers are operating strongly and increasingly sophisticated.
Vanguard continues to play an important role in detecting and addressing cheating. However, the constant evolution of cheat tools that find ways to bypass protections forces Riot to continually innovate and strengthen its defenses.
Riot Games has implemented large-scale bans in the past, but the recent spate of cheaters shows that the fight is still up in the air. Delegation is a strong move to protect Valorant's fairness, but whether it will be enough to completely stamp out cheating remains an open question.
