League of Legends: Riot may be monitoring your ping to ban toxic behavior in the game

According to the latest information from a VTuber, Riot has even gone a step further and is now monitoring your ping usage in League of Legends.

It’s no secret when Riot Games have various stats about your gameplay, including score KDA, kill engagement rate, movement time, gold per minute and other similar stats. But according to the latest information from a VTuber, Riot has even gone a step further and is now monitoring your ping usage.

On January 1, VTuber Zianni posted a tweet claiming that Riot is now monitoring ping usage. The source for this claim is a friend of VTuber, who supposedly has access to the Riot API and can get information like match details.

The most likely reason why Riot started tracking your ping during the match is to track and ban players who are using Bait ping. Bait ping has been a controversial topic in League of Legends ever since it hit live servers with its pre-season release on Nov.

Initially, Riot intended to use Bait ping for junglers and roaming champions to urge you to start teamfights with the enemy laner. Unfortunately, the community has found another, more toxic and annoying use for this ping.

Nowadays, Bait ping is mainly used to spam another player that they should end their life (because the hook looks like a noose to commit suicide). And by starting to monitor ping usage, especially the use of Bait ping, it shows that Riot is looking to punish toxic players who abuse and violate Riot’s Terms of Service.
