There are concerns regarding the moderators of the Valorant subreddit being employees of Riot itself and potentially censoring anti-Valorant posts/comments.Wanted to note that there is at least one group intentionally spreading anti-Vanguard propaganda according to this.Riot is owned by Tencent who has involvement with the Communist Party of China.The most used example video of stuttering in World of Warcraft before and after uninstalling Vanguard Vanguard may impact the performance of or cause problems with other games (mixed answers from people regarding being unable to start certain games or FPS issues.See below for some of the important points. RiotArkem's (anti-cheat lead for Valorant) detailed answer regarding this.Vanguard runs the moment you start your computer and is always on.Other examples I've seen thrown around include Sony's rootkit DRM debacle and Capcom's anti-crack solution.I probably need an expert to weigh-in on this bullet-point Being on Ring 0 leaves you open to a back door or other vulnerabilities for malicious hackers.ESEA had an incident which involved one employee implementing a bitcoin miner.Not all of those anti-cheat systems run on Ring 0, some of them run only on Ring 2 (not sure about this, only read one comment that mentioned this).Other games that use anti-cheat also run on the kernel-level like BattlEye, Easy Anti-Cheat, ESEA, FACEIT.I'll try to summarize the important points/concerns (note that I'm not 100% sure on some of these and they aren't all directly related to Vanguard): I also am not for or against the game at this time since I'm still trying to collect information before I make a decision. I'm not a security expert so I was actually hoping for more information regarding the Ring 0 thing, but I've been reading as much as I can about the stuff people are saying.
