Sorry, quick confirmation:
My fiancée who has played valorant does not have TPM 2.0 (They aren't elligble to upgrade to Windows 11 (in the proper method) because of it.) did the requirement change recently in Valorant or is TPM 2.0 not required for League?

(We are starting to look at what we can do to upgrade their computer fairly quickly, given the 20 day turnaround if the Vanguard requirement goes live in 14.9 (May 1st))

Thanks!

I'm seeing parallels between this situation and the COVID vaccine lol

Probably the wrong Post to ask this, but will Tools like the porofessor still be legal? I mean, on paper it provides additional informations, so i am not Sure there. Anyone who can help me here?

In recent months, as many as 1 in 15 games globally has had a scripter or botter in it, but in some regions, this number is as high as 1 in 5.

This part REAAAAAAALLY needed to be specified if it is in normals, arams, pre-30 games, post 30 games (prolly under normals) or in ranked.

Also, not to mention this under the FAQ section

They used cheating software for another game, and Vanguard unfortunately picked it up.

Didn't they just say that when you don't play a riot game, Vanguard is just back there staying still (menacingly)? Paraphrasing, but that shouldn't be able to happen at all then, if that were true?

Like hell, I can 100% admit that I have used trainers in single player games, and I'm not even ashamed to admit it..and those are 100% cheats, but hell if I would be mad if I got banned by Vanguard for cheating in lets say Xcom (yes they have MP, but f**k, noone plays it for MP :P) or...

Since this is concerning a similar topic: Does using WSL2 and or Visual Studio cause problems in those regards too ? Especially WSL2 since it’s iirc always running by default.

Hey you seem like you know what you’re talking about - are keybinds to hardware devices - say binding attack move click to the “A” key, then binding the “A” key to a side mouse button - allowed in league? Sorry to waste your time with a dumb question.

I believe most people aren't against the Vanguard itself (besides cheaters of course). People just don't like that something has kernel access. This dev blog is ignoring that, unless you really are a cheater you don't have issues with installing an anti-cheat, the issue is just the kernel access. That is a vulnerability to your OS, whatever you guys say.

Unfortunely, I don't believe there are other ways to circumvent this, since my guess is that probably the cheat programs also work through kernel. I must be saying something completly wrong though, since I have no idea if that's the case.

I understand you guys want to ease the playerbase, and you put several statements on the blog about privacy, but you completly ignored the issue about working on kernel level. There may not be other alternatives, but it's a bit depressing that you don't talk about that concern in this dev blog.

Again, I understand probably (?) most cheats work through kernel, I also want a ...

Sounds good to me.

I'm not sure if you have an answer for this, but I assume it's going to be fine on my PC. But it mentions that Windows 11 might have issues with Vanguard, if Vanguard is running on my PC already, I should be fine, right?

This version of Vanguard is just an adaptation for League, so if it's working with Valorant, it theoretically should be okay, even on Windows 11? Or is this windows 11 issue league specific, and I should look into it? (I probably will regardless, I just wasn't sure how similar Vanguard Valo is to Vanguard League, or are they separate entities.

I trust it.

I'm curious what you guys think of all the nay-sayers on reddit (and elsewhere) that seem VERY AGAINST Vanguard. I feel like a lot of them are just angry cheaters but that's just my hunch.

I've had Vanguard since Valorant came out, and I have no qualms with it. As long as it behaves and lowers the amount of cheaters in a game I like by 1% I'm happy.

Also please don't stop here. Keep making smurfing/boosting/cheating/botting/account selling go away as much as possible. Competitive integrity in soloqueue has been at an all time low in the last 2-3 years. Thanks.

Can you comment on if it blocks AutoHotkey? I've had anti cheats like Faceit block AHK from running, which is pretty annoying due to how much non-game related stuff like mic mute hotkeys I have running with it

Originally posted by Reydude

Hey. Will apps like porofessor still be okay to use? Otherwise, I need to delete it before vanguard goes live. Also, what about AHK? I use it on another game, to overcome difficulties caused by my disability. For league, I don't use AHK, but I modify input.ini or persistedsettings.json file for that reason. Would that be considered 'cheating' by vanguard? Just looking to put some fears down.

What about used hardware? Do I now have to be afraid that something I buy used will be banned for League because a cheater used it before?

So where can I request all of the data that Vanguard has collected about me?

Not a great look when a rioter is saying not installing their anti cheat is "based" lmfao

Originally posted by LifeIsToughEatBacon

How many clicks to turn it off each time I reboot? Just as a best-practices thing I'm not a huge fan of having 3rd party kernel-level drivers on my PC, so I'll be turning it off whenever I'm not actively playing league.

Originally posted by BLACKROSESFALL

but is there no way to turn it off whilst you're not playing. i haven't read the article yet, but i am not comfortable having an anti-virus that is enabled at all times for zero reason.

Originally posted by _CaptainNoob69

Much appreciated Riot Man! I'm more comfortable playing League with anti-cheat system now and it's even better that I'm afforded some control over Vanguard.

If there's anything you'd recommend we NOT do (aside from straight up cheating) while running League, please also let us know. I assume Vanguard looks at activities while the client/game is running, but sometimes between matches or during queues Id be doing work stuff on another screen. If my work stuff is something that can be captured by Vanguard while the game is running, then yea I'd have to stop doing that.

Regardless, thanks for taking the time to reassure my thoughts on this 🙏
