Fair point about KDA. I do think it’s great to have the main focus be round wins and rounds played, in order to incentivize team work rather than KDA. That should remain the main focus.

I think that’s where it’s important, if you decide to implement something like this, to make sure the XP from kills, assists, and objectives is less, that way it doesn’t detract from the teamwork aspect.

Thank you for the response! You guys have made a great game and I’ve been enjoying the hell out of it.

couldn't this also mean that riot has worse programmers that allow so many vulnerabilities to slip through?

Ok i must have misunderstood your first point (1.VALORANT).

I'm really not qualified to answer that kind of question.

Let's be honest between you and me. Tencent own Riot. They can do whatever they want with it. Don't answer because you could get in trouble, but everyone knows that Tencent can do anything they want with your software. They OWN Riot.

Vanguard is owned and developed by Riot.

And Tencent own Riot, including assets. That's what ownership means. Can you confirm this.

Edit: This is an serious advice here: don't answer any of this, you could be in trouble.

So just to make it clear, you're saying Vanguard isn't owned by Riot, but by Tencent. Is my understanding ok?

1. Tencent do have a majority fiscal stake in Riot but we retain full control of what we build and how we build it.

Indefinitely? Or could Tecent decide at any moment that they are in control, since you know, they own Riot.

I'm not some crazy conspiracy theory, I'm just a dude who wants to know exactly what's running 24-7 on my PC, including who owns it, and who makes the decisions about it. You made it seems like Riot owned the software and was the full decision maker, when in reality it's pretty clear that it's Tencent.

can you look into this please? Plenty of people suddenly started having issues starting Vanguard.

When checking in services.msc we get this error: https://imgur.com/faCGU3M

Is the driver uninstalled when the game in uninstalled?

Your bounty program is nice, but how exactly are you going to ensure that everyone who has Vanguard on their computer has the latest version?

Does it auto-update? Is it just manual updates?

Both don't sound too great. I can understand an anti-virus program asking once in a while to restart my computer for an update it loaded in the background. But that does not sound like something an anti-cheat system for a computer game should do.

But manual, for example when the user starts the game sounds not so great either. Imagine a game like WoW asking to restart your computer after updating.

And worse than that, what about someone who does not actively play at the moment. Or worse, uninstalled the game which still keeps Vanguard installed. Is it just sitting on a users PC, unpatched, for months?

Nowhere does it mention how you plan on distributing security patches for Vanguard, and that should be mentioned somewhere shouldn't it?

You may not want to be honest but A GDPR request will force you to hand over everything it collects.

The way your handling this is scummy and honestly I’ve 100% lost interest in the game over this.

Why not ? :c

Is this compliant with GDPR? What data are you collecting and how are you storing it? What is the main way you store it? Where are you storing it and why? Does it leave the borders of Europe while transferring? How long are you storing data? Can I see and remove the data somewhere? /u/RiotArkem ?

Ultimately, who owns the product that you're developping. You? Riot? or Tencent?

What would happen when who ever own this product decides on some changes.

I was talking with someone and they were very aggressive about the fact that you haven't named the auditors auditing Vanguard. Is this information you can share?

And props to you guys for the communication, this thread turned into a bit of a Q&A. A bit off topic but the games the devs did against Shroud and his team were really fun to watch. The devs showed there's a high skill ceiling and now I'm already excited for future tournaments. It'd be cool if you guys did more of that, devs vs players. That's pretty rare I think, that the devs of a game can go up against really skilled players and slap them up and down. Do any of those devs happen to stream? I kinda wanna see their perspective and hear the voice comms between them :P

Vanguard seems to make it impossible to play Valorant on linux. It does not work on vine or a VM because of the anti cheat. Are you just going to neglect linux gamers or are you going to make the game/anticheat run natively on linux at a later time?

i know you are not here to talk harassment, but i was wondering how you treat verbal abuse, harassment and other, uncalled and unnecessary, toxic behaviour. Is the option a placebo, or are there consequences to such behavour/reporting such players?

Hey, I recently sent a message in discord to a Riot member regarding the use of vulnerabilities that apply to all video games on a network/hardware level, which includes 1. the parsing of network data in order to get game data, 2. the usage of HID devices in order to simulate mouse movements, and 3. The combined use of those two in order to parse network data and create a HID controlled aimbot that is fully hardware-sided and done 100% externally.

Theoretically, you could just use OBS to "stream" a game to another computeror application, and create a low-latency aimbot that uses a PID loop with the error being the distance from the center of the screen/crosshair to the pixels that make up the image of a head. You then could use a raspberry pi, usb rubber ducky, or any other badusb/programmable HID device (there are thousands) and create an aimbot that goes off of the distance between the head and the crosshair.

If I created a proof of concept of the screengrab-base...
