I still don't get how people play Valorant with the kernel-level anti-cheat
2 comments

I personally don't mind having it installed, just because it makes a huge difference.

I remember playing CS:GO (and later, CS2) and it was super common to see cheaters in almost every other match.

In contrast, I haven't seen a single cheater yet in a match of Valorant.

You can see the difference yourself by checking the UnknownCheats forums for CS2 vs Valorant: the CS2 subforum is full of new hacks every day (most of which seem to be slight modifications of existing ones) while the Valorant one is completely dead.

The sad reality is that people simply do not give a damn/are so weak willed that they will buy the game regardless. I wish it weren't the case, but unfortunately it is.
I'd rather play without cheaters than care about running a kernel-level anticheat.
