      How is that a win? I, among many other people, am now forced to use windows to play my favorite game. I am not going to stop playing so the only choice is to stop using Linux.

          Same. Bye Riot, would have spent thousands more on your terrible game but you shot yourself in the foot.

          Of course. I don’t care if they have my data or not. The only thing I am not willing to give them is my money, because the game sucks RN.

            A rootkit could obtain enough information to cost you money. Paypal accounts, banking accounts, etc. A rougue riot employee (or a vendor company, or someone exploiting it) with malicious intent could harness that capability with negative consequences.

        League players are such a special breed. “I don’t enjoy this game but I refuse to stop playing and will willingly switch to an entirely different operating system so I can continue to not have fun.”

        You do know that you’re allowed to just not keep playing, right?

    Why tf would this need a client-side anti-cheat!?!?!?

    It is useless in this game!

    I get it in VALORANT. It is hard to detect cheats when mechanical skill is part of who wins but a topdown moba doesn’t have any of that!

    Correct me if I am wrong but I think this sucks.

      There are cheats to be had in a moba, mostly aimbots for skillshots and auto minion farming etc. However, those should be hella easy to detect on a server level and fuck this anti cheat system

      it’s intrusive anti-cheat-software operating on a system level where it could be a viable attack vector. thats what sucks.

      what also sucks: this will make one of the most played games in existence unplayable on linux. and only so riot looks like taking a problem serious, that is probably much smaller than people think.

      other than that: mobas absolutely require mechanical skills, that cheats could assist you with. there impact might not be as obvious as an incredible high hesdshot rate, but being able to consistently last hit creeps will give an ever increasing advantage over your opponent, canceling certain animations will increase the damge you are able to dish out over a given time frame and seeing the trajectory projectiles will follow makes them easier to dodge.

      hell just supplying more information than the standard ui can be a huge advantage: knowing what your opponets buy, or invest there leve ups in all the time, displaying their cooldowns and stuff like that.

    If I recall correctly this was announced years ago, I remember that it was one of the reasons that made me stop playing. That and the constant aggravation at the breakage that happened whenever they updated their client.

    I quit that game a few months ago. Maybe I should go take it for a last spin before I have to give it up for good. And also maybe open up my 200 ish loot boxes that I never bothered opening

    The real shame here is that TFT uses the LoL client and so we can’t play TFT now either. LoL could disappear tomorrow and I will miss going back to TFT for a few weeks every once in a while.
