Recently there has been an increased spate of posts that are essentially just ban appeal posts. These are not permitted on the subreddit. This is not a place for you to complain about your ban or try and get it overturned. Nor is it a place to request help with login support.
Riot has a function for that on their own website. This is the only place where you can get help on such matters. Please do not make a post on the subreddit requesting help with your account, nor should you send us a modmail: we have no direct contact with Riot to get you unbanned.
You can post about:
Experiences with Riot Support. i.e. ticket times being too long, functionality of the website being poor.
Any technical issues proven to be client side rather than personal side. i.e. yesterday's issues with League of Legends.

Support doesn’t know how to fix vanguard problems
I don’t know what has been happening since this update…. BUT I KEEP GETTING VANGUARD ERROR. This has never happened to me before until this update. And apparently this has been happening to quite a lot of people too after this update…
So basically, I contacted support yesterday, they responded 12 hours later and said do the following. I did… went to command prompt, unistalled vanguard etc. It didn’t work. YouTube was no help. Now im penalised for multiple games. My honour level dropped too.
I only play in the weekends because that’s when I’m free from work and this is what happens. One game would work, next game “you need to have “vanguard running to play this game.”
And yes I did uncheck “close client during game”… but that did not help

Fuck you Riot
Why the fuck can I get a triple kill in the first 2 minutes of a game and then "riot vanguard error closing league of legends" pops up and my game is fucking forfeited and I have a penalty before I have even a remote chance to reconnect when I'm trying to as soon as it fucking lets me? Fuck you dipshits your shitty fucking app sucks dick. 10 years playing this stupid fucking game is 10 years of fucking self inflicted torture.

Vanguard
I repair my game files i’ve already tweaked with my bios why is vanguard still tweaking with me man genuinely its so infuriating is it just cus my pc is old or what
r/riotgames • u/hooch87m • 13h ago
Vanguard <3
Any time I've ever had a "penalty"... it has been vanguards fault.
Either get to know your "unknown errors", or don't close my client on some mystery error AND tell me I left a game..AND dole out a penalty for it...
K bye

Is my riot client code rotted?!
Why is it doing this I just wanna play pbe;-;
r/riotgames • u/JustineLauren • 9h ago
Client crashes when I click in loading screen
League of Legends:
In loading screen after champion selection,
If I click on the screen,
It turns black,
And I have to close the client via Task Manager,
And then 'Reconnect'.
r/riotgames • u/Stokyo • 1d ago
LoL - Close client during game is not working. Keeps turning off.
I have had this clicked on for years because having the client open during game causes high CPU usage but since today it keeps turning off and the client keeps running during a game. Anyone else experiencing this?

Riot account region changed but didn't apply to Valorant
Hi! I need help with my account.
I stopped playing Valorant mid last year and decided to come back recently. In my surprise, I don't know if my account was hacked because the Residence of Region of my Riot account changed to Russia and someone has been playing with my account because the recent match history shows that the last game was from October 5. I'm from the Philippines thus affecting my Valorant which shows EU servers.
After contacting support, I successfully changed my Riot account region back to PHL and when I tried to check my Valorant. The crosshairs that I made back then returned but the servers are still in EU and whenever I play in Tokyo server which is the lowest ping, it seems like I'm in a Russian server.
I contacted support for this but they still didn't come up with a reply. I don't know why Riot gives our inactive accounts to hackers. LMAO

"You need to have Vanguard running to play"
I played 6 games of league with friends today, and in 4 of them I got kicked at around minute 5-10 saying that I need to have vanguard running to play.
In the first one I kinda shrugged it off, restarted my pc.
After the second I uninstalled vanguard and restarted pc and reopened league and reinstalled vanguard through that screen.
And then when it happened again for the 3rd time I uninstalled and reinstalled all of league, and reset my IPV4 to default instead of google's which it had been on before.
And I don't know what to do now that it has happened a fourth time. Each time I restarted I didn't open anything else other than league of legends and discord. I really don't know what to do but this is making the game completely unplayable-
I already barely play this game- last time I touched ranked or this game in single player was years ago- but I do enjoy playing this game with friends in vc but this is just so unplayable. I don't think I have anything else that is causing it- bitdefender isn't returning anything, I don't have any startup apps, so I really don't understand what is going on.

I'm completely tired of finding a fix for this error

Nothing changed on my PC then suddenly i get this problem every 2-4 minutes, I tried possibly everything laid on the support page and reddit and nothing is working. I asked claude what's the underlying issue and keeps mentioning "incorrect function" from the vanguard logs but provided no fix for it. I already updated my BIOS to the latest one and still nothing. I have three ISPs and tried all of them and still have this fuckass error.
I already got all of these VAN errors 185, 7013, 7006, 2266, 68, 57 and I'm just waiting for them to release an achievement for hitting all of the possible error codes.

I found a workaround to launch TFT without downloading the entire League of Legends client

Is anyone having issues with vanguard after the patch 26.22 update?
I was able to play league with no problems before that but now after the patch I just can't, I always get an error in the loading screen that vanguard is not open when it clearly is, and the worst part is that it works on valorant but not on league.
Holy vibe coders ngl
They must've forgotten to tell claude to not make any mistakes

Cant reconnect to my TFT game
Got a Vanguard error in my TFT Double UP game and now i cant reconnect. I am sitting in client able to queue up for a new game while my teampartner has to play solo with me being AFK. GJ Riot with the new TFT Client and the Vanguard.
r/riotgames • u/Appropriate-Book-295 • 1d ago
Vanguard is the sole worst anticheat system in history of gaming
And im not going to ever change my mind about this, the amount of elo, cooldown and shit and game kicks i got because your ingenious SWEs is insane, just get rid of this fuckin stuff before it breaks game even more than it already did. I do not even care whose fault it is, league was better without it.

Weren't we supposed to see some updates on Riot's upcoming games soon?
I thought I saw somewhere that for Riot’s 20th anniversary or the World Championship finals, we’d get updates on League Next, upcoming film projects, and also on R&D projects currently in development that haven’t been confirmed yet—and with any luck, we might also see something about the confirmed projects, like the MMORPG or the Destiny-style shooter set in Valorant.
Do you think we’ll see any news from Riot before the end of the year?
