Rito is doing this game justice these cheaters are spending hundreds of dollars on DMA hardware and bricking them by uninstalling their firmware via the anti cheat
What confuses me the most is that even though riot is doing a good thing there's these larper linux users/CS2 fans that think riot is a rootkit virus that takes your credit card information and don't know how tech works lul
linux user here! I know barely anything but I'm on linux so i'm better then you!!!!!
Given that you just reinstall the OS thats gonna slow a cheater down an hour max after a fix is implemented.
It is nice since it now means that the cheat devs have a lot of work to get around the detection again. It also intentionally preys on the users who are technically inept which is at least some part of the cheaters.
I just dont understand what is different this time compared to the last 300 ban waves, given that they use the exact same method, that would make them decide to use this way of "banning".
But also... how tf do you come to the conclusion that "linux users" are weird after seeing this misuse of a kernel driver? (Mind you this shit doesnt affect linux so all the people terrified in the comments are normal windows users)
This is a huge overstep and just plain illegal.
Im just praying for Riot that it doesnt get a single false positive, cause we are crossing SO MANY ethics lines here. Vanguard is outright worse than the majority of malware now.
Misuse of what? These people should not be buying 6000 dollar DMA devices and plugging them into their computers motherboard in the first place just to cheat especially on their main PCs
I also mention Linux users because half of the schizo posts I came across mentioned are about being paranoid about root kit anti cheat being chinese spyware that bricks people's PC which is not the case at all and some would subtly mention they use linux in their tweets
