My Opinion on Exploits (fixed)

tldr: I personally believe the punishment is right because that is what the rules say, but Riot is still at fault because of poor communication. I have provided an analysis of what I think should change

Obviously there is some drama right now with KS getting DQ'd vs Acend. I find it very odd that Riot decided to use a round by round counting to explain the loss. The butterfly effect ensures that you can't just change something in one round and think that following rounds wont be affected. If Riot decide that an exploit was used, that is a DQ no matter how many rounds it was used. An exploit used in 1 round of a 13-5 win could definately be a major factor to the win.

I disagree with Riot's approach to exploits, but assuming that this bug "should" be an exploit there are still some things right and some things wrong.
From KS and JhoW's perspective: This bug was public, and they should have known not to use it. Both X10 and Giants had punishments from this.
From Riot's perspective: The punishments are consistent. (X10 forfeited a map which ended up eliminating them from Masters 3). When Guild first beat the G2 juggernaut in First Strike, they got DQ'd for an "exploit" of placing a sage wall on a KJ turret.

However, I disagree with two fundamental parts of Riot's approach here.
1) I don't think that in game mechanics should be considered exploits. At the very least Riot should not determine what is and isn't an exploit. Riot has proven time and again that they do not consider the REALITY of the game instead they consider The way the game is INTENDED to be played. For example, in the Guild DQ, patitek used a banned skin (the sound of the elderflame was widely considered pay to win at the time before some slight changes). G2 were not DQ'd because unfair skins are part of the game and sage walls on KJ turrets are not SUPPOSED to be. I completely understand that some things should be banned from professional play (in games with character skins there are usually tons of them banned), but the people deciding this should be INDEPENDENT, concerned with integrity and not what makes Riot look like their game is polished.
2) The communication is bad. Suffice to say, every tournament organizer should make it abundantly clear what is and isn't banned. JhoW should have known about this but he didn't. X10 and Giants had no clue that it was not allowed. Guild were completely surprised that their boost was illegal. Even if a team should be DQ'd the tournament organizer has failed to make the best event by poor communication.

My fix: Riot should allow a player based council to determine the rules of what is and isn't allowed. If this need funding, tournament organizers should provide this as it serves their best interests for disasters like this to be prevented. This council should not be beholden to any particular interests besides what the majority of the players want. It should make its rules very clear and public.

Obviously something like this is not an easy fix and it needs a push, but Riot and tournament organizers should be incentivized to do this because it helps their scene. In the end, only widespread public support for some change (not necessarily my change, I'm not ESIC here) can cause something to happen.

There's a rulebook, but poorly updated. If not, should've been fine. But it's terrible. Doesn't even have THIS VERY BUG even though it first appeared ages ago.
Also yes that FURIA jump was totally fair, you could do it with every character if you have good movement, which in the end comes down to skill.

I would say that the best change that is easy to accomplish is better communication about what is and isn't allowed. TO's should be pushing exploit lists in front of players to prevent things like this.

I personally don't find it likely that Jhow didn't know that the cam was a bug. I remember not being invested in valorant pro scene until masters berlin and I even heard about the X10 ruling. The idea that you would specifically try to put your cam there when you have to jump off stairs to do it, especially when as a pro player, it's sort of your job to find neat cams online, and that no one on the team knew about this, not any other players or the coach? I can see not knowing about the haven box jump with CR and Furia, but for the cam, I just see no way you could not know it was an exploit.

TLDR

I agree with you on most points, but forfeiting the match or DQ'ing as punishment is too harsh and should be reserved for more severe cases. I think a map rematch or even a full rematch would suffice in such a case, or at least giving out a map penalty on the offending team's next match.

Also, I must commend you on your very well structured solution to the problem (you should get a job at ESIC btw), too bad Riot won't give a shit.

I feel for this type of decision riot should act similarly to NFL. When an infraction happens, referees need to stop the match when the round ends and after evaluating then confirming that the exploit was used, they need to give the victim a choice between replaying the round or to ignore what happens. If a referee didn't notice the exploit at time, he should be punished accordingly, given the fact that his job is to protect the competitive integrity and, at this situation, he failed to do so
