LoL Patch 14.8 Vanguard
It seems that Vanguard will be deployed in the next patch as Riot is looking to integrate their anti-cheat for all regions as soon as possible.
Beginning with this patch, Vanguard will officially be turned on in the Philippines on the live servers. This means that enforcement of Vanguard will be in effect for that region, and you will be unable to queue unless you have Vanguard on.
For the rest of the world, this patch will contain a popup to check your compatibility. It will check to make sure your Operating System is up to date, and that you have TPM 2.0 enabled (if you're on Windows 11). If you fail any of these checks, it will give you a fail state and ask you to resolve those issues, but it will not prevent you from playing at this time. We highly encourage you to resolve any of those issues quickly so that when we turn on enforcement, you will be able to continue playing Teamfight Tactics PC and/or League of Legends. At this time, we're planning to turn on Vanguard for all regions (except China), starting with patch 14.9 (next patch). If anything changes, we'll update you all ASAP on any changes to this rollout.
Please check out our devblog and player support articles for any help troubleshooting or info about Vanguard.
