League of Legends is the game where cheating is rare as hell or

hard to spot because it doesnt give as big advantage due to game mechanics/dynamics.

Majority of cheaters that I've met were when I've been leveling new account

Also:

Today on HN we complain about cheaters

Tomorrow we will complain about rootkit from anti-cheat software and someone will argue that server-side should be enough :)

All strategy games are like that. Cheating barely gives an advantage because the best cheats just reveal the fog of war but good players already know what's in the fog of war due to game sense, communication and scouting. So cheaters still lose.
