      This my greatest joy, i constantly need to justify not installing LoL to my friends because of Riots shitty anti-cheat. This proves that kernel-level is just unnecessary. And ive always wondered how you can claim it grants any protection at all when MacOS users can play without it? Its not like you couldnt cheat on a MacBook.

        Yes, I used to bot league of legends and still have contact with people that do it to this day. Botters just switched to hackintosh VMs to circumvent Vanguard

    Rather than outright ban cheaters, it’d be funnier if they are just flagged in the matchmaking system and only ever get matched with other cheaters from that point forward.

      VAC bans are pretty nasty iirc.

      Your account gets flagged for cheating and you can’t play on any official Valve servers for that particular game ever again.

      Also if you family share the owner of the game gets the ban (don’t share with people you don’t trust).

      Edit: oops it’s only for the game you were found cheating on.

      It works like that afaik. If you use the same phone number with another steam account, it then matches you with other people with similarly ‘bad’ score accounts.

      I don’t like kernal level, but I’ll give it 2 weeks, and all the cheats and cheaters will be back.

      Hope I’m wrong though.

    THAT’S why my winrate went THROUGH THE ROOF in the past 2 days. I gained 6k ELO and I see some players that are same rank as me who actually like bots. Easiest 48 hours of CS2 I was wondering what’s up. This makes perfect sense.

    I am very happy for this person.

      Doxxed is a bit much. The capacitors in their PSUs malfunctioning and burning out the GPU and CPUs on the other hand, that would be a fabulous bug to occur on these twats systems.
