This also applies to Valorant. I know a lot of people look down on both games, but it's still unfortunate for Linux to lose access to such a popular game.

I thought this part was particularly interesting:

Half of anti-cheat is making sure the environment hasn't been tampered with, and this is extremely hard on Linux by design. Any backdoors we leave open for it are ones [cheat] developers will immediately leverage for cheats

I enjoyed playing TFT but this whole thing made me ditch LoL altogether some months ago. And cheaters on LoL are so rare...

    According to the original Riot post, 1 in 15 games has a cheater, and in some regions it's 1 in 5 games.

    But valorant has the same kernel anticheat, and has rampant cheating. So I don't think the new anticheat will actually help.

    Tbf they're probably rare because of the rootkit anticheat right?

    No, they haven't deployed the anticheat yet I think

    League just doesn't have that many 'traditional' cheaters and the game lends itself to server-side AC way more than most. The cheaters in League are more often win-traders at high elos and smurfs in low elos. Also lots of feeding and trolling. So I have no idea why they are adding Vanguard, a good reason to stop playing the game though.
