One of my favourite games to have kernel level anticheat is Helldivers 2, and I think it's definitely caused a few issues for me.
Helldivers 2 works on Linux even with the anti cheat unlike Valorant so there must be some differences there.
Riot's Vanguard is the only one that needs to start with boot, and always run in the background. Others can initialize and close when the game is done, IIRC. Which is why they can work with proton/wine.
Vanguard is always running? More reason for me to never go back to League I guess.
DotA is freedom, you can do crazy fun builds
HOTS is the better game but DOTA has mod tools
Supposedly it falls back to usermode anticheat on linux. That's what I heard but there wasn't a source, so could be BS.
