    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

      It feels very nice knowing that my assumption was not completely bonkers. Thanks for confirming my sanity 🙏

      Although, then I wonder, what is even the purpose of Vanguard apart from data collection? Because this attack-vector clearly negates the entire purpose of Vanguard.

          Yeah. I know. Even though I hate Riot I guess some part of me wanted to believe their garbage anti-cheat wasn’t ONLY a harvester for private data

            Well, it probably also saves them a lot of money to only maintain a single anticheat system for both Valorant and League, compared to the 2 independent ones they had before
