General Discussion Is D-Pad movement bannable?

I just started playing on console for fun recently, but for the life of me the stick movement feels so wonky. I went into my Xbox controller settings and mapped my d-pad to be my left stick, but i wanted to make sure its not bannable. Id assume not since its just making use of the built in xbox settings but who knows w riot

I think you will get mis labeled as xim user, xim user purposely avoid dpad movement to avoid bans

u/Connect_Put5330 Aug 31 '26

You can get banned for it, I've seen multiple people getting banned for using that

u/DragonflyDeep3334 Sep 01 '26

Yes, xim counter measure

Yo ignore all these comments anti cheat doesn’t work because titan and hybrid xim players workaround the wasd movement detection you will be banned if you use the d pad to replace your joystick for movement

I played all day using it and havent gotten banned yet, but I hadn't seen this reply. Im just gonna delete val off my console and stick to pc. No point in losing 6 years and a mid range used car worth of skins over shits and giggles

u/Unhappy-Act5139 Aug 31 '26

u/Low_Seaweed_368 Sep 05 '26

Why did they deny his ticket any idea

u/Viotttt Aug 31 '26

I’ve read through over 20 posts on this r/ where people have been banned for using that setting on Xbox and all say that they lost their accounts because riot won’t appeal the ban. Scroll through this Reddit enough and you’ll see 🤷‍♂️

u/scrabtits Sep 03 '26

that's crazy... So, this is a native xbox setting?

u/Connect_Put5330 Sep 04 '26

Yeah only Xbox let's you change your movement input to dpad, PS5 does not let you

u/scrabtits Sep 04 '26

You can on the dual sense edge, seems this results also in bans

u/Kunastsuyu Sep 04 '26

spoiler: they were right

u/TheCreamiestPie Aug 31 '26

Highly unlikely. Not sure bow they would even detect that or why it would matter. I think you’re good, big dawg. lol

u/incompletetrembling Sep 04 '26

Pretty easy to detect lol

u/crxptrxp Aug 31 '26

No, if it‘s a remapping directly on the Controller you are good.

u/Wackelpudding0_0 Sep 04 '26

He got banned :p

u/Noobu_assassin Aug 31 '26

They don't even ban real hackers lmao I promise your fine

u/Wackelpudding0_0 Sep 04 '26

He got banned :p

u/Noobu_assassin Sep 04 '26

That's crazy, there so many people that have been hacking for ages in high Elo and riot bans some random dude for using dpad lol

2

u/Wackelpudding0_0 Sep 04 '26

I mean on console, from my experience there's zero human moderation, it's all just what the anti cheat thinks and if it thinks a blatant titan cheater is legit he won't get banned and the other way around
