    The anti cheat in league is literally a rootkit.

    When it came out there was an outcry and their statement was basically “okay okay, so its a rootkit. But guys, you can trust us! We’re totally not going to do anything nefarious with it!”

    I can’t believe people still play that shit.

    Congratulations, you’ve discovered the struggles of learning an esoteric hobby. Often the learning curve is steep like that. And often you will encounter elitist twits trying to push you back down the curve. But they cannot keep you from knowledge. It sounds like you’re already discovering some of the rewards.


  • Don’t forget the development issues. Last I read up on this was several years ago, so things may have changed, but:

    It’s open source, but it’s entirely controlled by a handful of people who work for RedHat, and they don’t publish any of their communications about development nor any supporting material like code documentation. It’s a massive complicated codebase and they’ve made no effort to make it accessible, nor do they allow contributions from anyone outside the RedHat team, so it remains a closed black box controlled by a private, for profit corporation.

    It’s open source in the worst way possible.
