LOL／模組末日？《英雄聯盟》將實裝Vanguard反作弊系統 mod社群哀鴻遍野

Riot Games 旗下 MOBA 遊戲《英雄聯盟》公開 2024 年展望，其中宣布會加入反作弊系統 Vanguard。隨著新增此一功能，有玩家開始擔心遊戲將迎來 mod 的末日，社群上哀鴻遍野。

根據官方說法，由於玩家反應對戰有大量的機器人，且積分對戰有惡意分身帳號與腳本使用加劇的情形，《英雄聯盟》也將採用現已應用於 FPS 遊戲《特戰英豪》的 Vanguard 偵測程式。

官方強調 Vanguard 能即時中斷對戰，同時封鎖違規者的硬體設備，並會返還聯盟分數給被配對到作弊玩家與機器人的玩家。

雖然是官方聲明中僅提及「機器人」、「惡意分身帳號」跟「腳本」，但是海外的模組社群開始擔心 Vanguard 實裝，會導致自訂皮膚安裝停止運作和被封鎖。相關玩家社群現階段在 X（舊稱推特）上，以「#savecustomskins」的標籤號召大家伸出援手，並向官方喊話。

Been in the community of Custom skins for years.
Created my own skinline, brought harpys to the game.
Learned from the best and with the best.

To all be gone? Why? This isn't fair at all.#savecustomskins may the harpys be with you.

We need your help now! Since RiotGames is implementing Riot Vanguard into League of Legends, Custom Skins are in danger of being flagged as unauthorized third party software and can lead to a ban! Lets try to #savecustomskins

除了引起一般玩家的關注，實況主也感到惋惜。像是 Drututt 便發推表示難過，表示儘管是些沒營養的模組，但為自己的直播帶來了很多樂趣。如今小小的模組社群，面對的卻是 Riot 大大的中指，未來第 14 賽季這些歡笑將不復存在。

This is a very sad day, riot announcing that vanguard will now be mandatory to play league is pretty much confirmation that custom skins will now be pretty much unuseable.

Small community of people that put lots of work/passion into creating those silly mods just got a huge… pic.twitter.com/b3b7PdOGaX

針對現階段的處境，有在從事模組設計的香港 mod 玩家 PoonShisui 像遊戲角落透露，建議玩家自 2 月起不要使用模組和自動改符文軟體。屆時若真的面臨大規模封鎖潮，其製作的所有 hololive、VTuber 和 BA 模組會迅速下架，且不排除提前避難，以確保自身權益。

Dear customskins' players, we need your strength very much. Recently, #LeagueOfLegends has released a Vanguard system, soon unallows all #CustomSkins and moderators to work together including #hololive , #Vtuber , #BlueArchive and other mods.
