The first Riot Games game outside the universe League of Legends It has proven to be a tremendous success. Much of the blame lies with his closed beta campaign via Twitch, which has earned him hundreds of thousands of continuous viewers. Although, as always, there is a small print.
That is Vanguard, an anti-cheat system that needs access to all the data on our computer and is mandatory to run Valorant (even if we can disable it if we are not playing). A system that for the moment seems to work despite controversyAs Riot has already made his first wave of cheat bans.
A total of 8,873 players have been kicked out of Riot's shooter. This has been confirmed by Phillip Koskinas, anti-cheat systems engineer at the company of League of Legends.
located a VALORANT universe where there were 8873 less cheaters and moved us all into it, please be careful as your bones may've shifted during dimensional travel

I have located a Valorant universe where there are 8,873 fewer cheats and have moved all of us to it. Please be careful, as your bones may have been affected by the interdimensional journey.
In the portal Kotaku They have spoken to Koskinas to ask him what type of method they have used, but as expected, this does not release garment, or else cheats could figure it out and get around it: "I cannot say the method (although they will end up finding out) but it is not so simple".
So anyway, it seems like cheaters have to eat their heads a bit until they can figure out how not to get banned from the game, and hopefully they never get it. The question is, how much has Vanguard been involved in all this?
