The virus may have infected my mind as well, cause I honestly been enjoying the game.
Certainly sounds like it. If you experience any intrusive acronyms like adc, cs, ks, ffs, or smh, it’s advised that you quarantine outside the home and take minimum of two “touch grass” per day until symptoms improve.
The grass should be watered already, but depending on the severity and length of your condition you may need to apply supplemental dihydrogen monoxide.
So have I recently but Wild Rift instead of actual League. I played League a lot when I was younger - too much, really - and stopped playing altogether in 2016. Started Wild Rift on a whim last year and got my SO into, and we’ve been having a lot of fun actually. She’d never played League before but always wanted to, so now she gets to have these experiences with the game I had so long ago.
The game’s still frustrating as hell sometimes and the company is utter trash, but at least I have something to play with my SO again which we’ve been searching for for a long time
I still enjoy the game all the time. I don’t take it too seriously though, which helps a lot.

It does unironically ship with a rootkit as well. Not joking.
Just like Apex Legends, Fortnite, and RuneScape, among many, many others.
Anything using Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) or Battleye is also using a kernel level anti-cheat.
Jagex is listed here: https://www.easy.ac/en-us/partners/
Incorrect, League of Legends and Valorant both use Riot’s proprietary Vanguard Anticheat. The reason it has to run on startup and won’t work if started afterwards is because it’s a kernel level program.
EAC does also have kernel level capabilities, and in fact conflicts when run at the same time as Vanguard, but your list is incorrect.
Runescape (both RS3 and OSRS) do not use EAC and cannot tell what programs you have open.
While too many games use Kernel Level anticheats, it isn’t normal or industry standard by any stretch of the imagination and it also doesn’t actually work very well compared to other methods so not only does it not protect you but it makes you more vulnerable.
Every piece of unvetted code (like games) you run makes you vulnerable. This isn’t any different.
IIRC it is still limited to user level perms on Linux
If a game needs you to enter sudo to run then thats a problem… or a desktop theme
…no, the issue with typical anticheats like EAC is that some studios simply want to avoid also patching for Linux, and the file system/utilities of wine can trip cheat detection
Yeah there are a few specific flags that Vanguard looks for when it runs, you can easily bypass it by adding some flags to a virtual machine.
Just use linux to be safe.
I’ve been playing since season 1 💪
