With cheaters now using DMA to read memory locations on secondary computers, what’s your suggested solution? A great many people can go “this bad, don’t do this”…
Great. Fine. Don’t do this – then suggest something we do instead.
Why are you asking some rando in a gaming forum? You don’t need to be a security expert to know that you don’t want any random app having kernel level access to your devices just to play a game. It doesn’t take a security expert to know that. The purpose of pointing it out isn’t that we know what the best solution is, it’s to tell studios that this solution isn’t the holy grail they act like it is.
League has a much bigger problem with smurfs and toxic behaviour than it does cheaters to be fair. Adding kernel anticheat to it is strange. There’s lots of account buying, sharing, win trading etc that is more prevalent and something vanguard cant fix, but Riot have never been good at focusing their efforts.

Kernel level AC has got to go, any sort of invasive AC does.

Yup. But its the latest ‘buzzword’ in anti-cheat, so we keep getting more of them instead of time being spent developing other potential solutions.

What do you think, considering I was replying to a comment with a proposed solution?
That’s what I’m asking you.

They are just looking for an argument/confrontation. It’s why I didn’t respond further.
Server side AC works well enough but as league demonstrates, it’s not a silver bullet.

I don’t know how it is now, but when I played league in the beta and for 4 years afterwards, I only ever saw 1 cheater.
Player toxicity was off the damn charts, but still not much of a cheating problem. Might be very different now though.
League itself isn’t either.
Right? Security don’t mean shit to physical possession.
I don’t think they care, they just want to siphon your data freely given.
