The General Rules stated above apply while playing on our servers.

2. No Hacked or Modded Clients Are Allowed — EVER

Mods that provide unfair advantages are strictly prohibited.

• Consequences of Violation:
  Using or even discussing hacked clients on our servers can result in a temporary or permanent ban, depending on the situation.

  • What qualifies as a hacked/modded client?

    • Any modifications that give an unfair advantage (e.g., x-ray, minimaps, radars, force fields, speed hacking, better sprint mod, etc.).

  • Permitted Mods:
    Mods that enhance FPS or textures (like water mods) are allowed as they don’t affect gameplay performance.

  • Suspicion or Caught in Violation:

    • Your ranking and leaderboard scores may be reset to defaults.
    • Admitting to using a hacked/modded client, even as a joke, will result in a mute.

  • Unsure About a Mod?
    Ask a staff member before using it.

4. Do Not Boost for Wins

Any series of wins acquired in an unfair manner is prohibited.

Maximum Team Size: 2

To maintain a fair and enjoyable experience, teams are limited to a maximum of two players. This ensures fairness while allowing players to team up with a friend.

No Teaming During Deathmatch

Teaming during Deathmatch is strictly forbidden. In the final moments, it's every player for themselves—only one champion can claim victory.

No Boosting

Artificially inflating stats by boosting wins or manipulating outcomes is not allowed. Such behavior undermines the integrity of the game and will result in penalties.
