Call me crazy, but pointing to VAC numbers is proof the system is catching cheaters and at least there we get the numbers, Valorant doesn't even give us an API call to even look up the current amount of players, let alone bans. We have a vague official blogpost but all we get there is a graph and again just like with VAC bans these are of course the people that do get caught, interestingly the graph is showing a downwards trend for detected bans, is the number of cheaters decreasing in Valorant? Or are the cheats becoming more undetected? Ah numbers, such lovely things to interpret.
And of course you doubt everything I say, you are biased as hell and misinterpret everything I say, I am not saying that cheating is rampant in Valorant, I am saying it definitely has a presence despite the anticheat while it invites an unnecessary level of risk (I would bold it but it seems to hurt your ego more than it helps you read).
Like my god you always imagine a new argument that was never directly stated before (funny considering you bitch and moan I do it while completely misinterpreting everything by ignoring key words like if and when, but those tend to be complex under the age of 5).
Faceit doesn't disclose player numbers, nor the caught amount of cheaters.
Also why isn't Faceit then the de facto standard of CS2 matchmaking? If the cheater problem is as big as you whine about, yet CS2 keeps topping the steam charts wouldn't people go to Faceit in droves? Also considering you clearly like Valorant so much, how did you experience cheaters on CS2 last week? Don't tell me; your "years of experience" actually started last week. Wait why weren't you playing on Faceit if you say it is that much better? Could it be that your experience is a lie and that you are actually full of shit?
And the argument would still stand, it isn't just about the amount of cheaters, holy shit how hard is this for you to comprehend mister logic 101, it is the security risk that it carries for everyone who doesn't cheat in the first place, why should people take a higher risk with their PC for an undisclosed, unverified reduction in cheaters? I and people with a brain say it is stupid to have such a risk since cheaters clearly get through the anticheats anyway while we barely get a measurable number of effectiveness (who knows if with FaceIt it doesn't just come down to manual bans due to the lower playerbase), you claim they are worth it yet can't actually put any numbers behind it to put it into perspective.
The dangers of a kernel level driver are clear (I mentioned the Genshin Impact one being compromised before and the existence of that one made even less sense, game doesn't even have pvp), the effectiveness of a 24/7 anticheat as a kernel level driver are not. Your argument rests on cheater reduction yet you can't even verify or quantify it. My claim is a kernel level driver is bad idea, you are the one claiming it is worth it, so quantify it, prove it in numbers and not some shitty anecdote that seems to be made up in the first place.
Funny how you didn't mention the ESEA client considering it was also attributed by the community for reducing the amount of cheaters, oh wait right, that one was caught mining Bitcoin without the users consent, yeah probably best to not mention to many alternative anticheats.
I have caps and bold for you since you clearly can't read or reason, doesn't seem to work though, you still don't read it.
Its funny how you don't even mention your Valorant experience, or quantify it versus CS2, you just go "Uh I hAd ChEaTeR iN cS2, lAsT wEeK", cool story bro, how many Valorant games did you play, what game mode, what rank if applicable, how many cheaters did you find in those, how many CS2 games did you play, what game mode, what rank if applicable. And that is of course if the CS2 players were cheating at all and not just smurfs while you get salty for losing the game (and you did provide the evidence of your sodium levels with your last number of posts).
