#2: ELO & Points Revert Post Cheating Bans

A few weeks ago we asked the community to vote on which features they would have like to see coming on FACEIT. At #2 we had the reversion of results for matches with a cheater. With today’s update, we released the Elo & points reversion for matches with cheaters!

The goal of this feature is twofold:

Avoid users getting boosted by cheaters that are ready to lose their account to boost others

Make sure that, if someone is playing against a cheater, they won’t lose League Points and/or Elo

Dialogue box that displays Elo/Point return, with links to matches.

From now on, if a player is banned for cheating and you played with them in a party or premade within the last 25 matches, Elo and points from any won match are removed from all the members of the party. This means that boosting won’t be working anymore.

Additionally, both Elo and the League Points are returned to the losing team making sure that you won’t suffer any more losses from playing against cheaters!

“If a player is banned for cheating, … Elo and League Points are returned to the losing team.”

Whenever this happens you will be notified on the platform with a pop-up that explains how many Points and Elo you got back / were removed with links to the matches affected.

Below you can find an update of the features that were voted a few weeks ago and what we released so far out of this list:

Anti-Cheat Stats & Update

It’s been almost a month since we released the latest stats regarding AC bans. Over this period we have continued to automate detection and improve the AC client by adding additional detection types. This resulted in an increase in the amount of daily bans, as well as in an increase in bans to players within a few matches on FACEIT.

Below you can find the full statistics for the period between 5th February and 4th March.

Additionally, during this period, we have been fixing a number of bugs that have been reported to us including an edge case that risked the causing of ‘Blue Screen of Death’ in certain edge situations.

Other / Misc:

Account registration now requires to go through reCAPTCHA

Mutual friends are now displayed when reviewing incoming friend requests

Hope you enjoyed the update. See you on FACEIT!
