@riotgames Doesn't matter. Their property is bricked and you admitted to it. Enjoy the coming lawsuits.

Well, that escalated quickly.
There’s been a wave of claims by cheaters about Vanguard “bricking” their PCs, so let’s clear that up: Vanguard does not damage hardware or disable your devices.
The photo we posted is a picture of cheat hardware devices that are sold explicitly for cheating in VALORANT (not normal PCs or PC components). Through our latest updates, Vanguard now makes those devices worthless for VAL, but does not in any way brick PCs or PC components or PC software.
Our latest update enforces standard platform security features, like the Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU), on accounts identified as using Direct Memory Access (DMA) cheating devices. These protections are already part of modern systems and when enabled, they block DMA cheat devices (such as those shown in the photo) from accessing memory in downstream applications, like our games.
If a cheat setup continues attempting to cheat after those protections are enabled, the system may generate hardware faults or instability. This is expected behavior under IOMMU when attempts are made to read protected memory.
Disabling IOMMU allows the cheat device to function again, but IOMMU will still be required to play our games. This means the cheat device won’t work with our games, but your PC isn’t “bricked.” We would not, and cannot, impact your PC’s functionality in any other fashion.
This functionality only applies to systems attempting to use DMA cheat devices, and players who are not using DMA-based cheat setups are not affected.
We’ll keep investing in anti-cheat to protect competitive integrity, and we’ll keep being as transparent as possible about how those systems work.

"Why are females so obsessed with Megan the Stallion lol" Oh so the men who had to take the day off work when Kobe Bryant died suddenly don't understand that you can have sympathy towards a celebrity you don't know.

@thoka_2 @shadowlkaiser Might just be the one team to actually play defense on him and deem him ineffective in the attack for once which is crazy
English
@_kousae @shadowlkaiser Nah even before this, ik he’s been man marked but still, you’d think he’d at least be able to get a shot off
English
@thoka_2 @shadowlkaiser I think Karasu genuinely just discarded him from his system

@shadowlkaiser Isagi situation makes sense but wtf actually happened to rin

@RivalsAssembled Cool
They dropped a new system to protect an already protected bracket of players
So what about everyone else?
What about the horrendous cheating problem on console?
What about the religious throwers that have plagued and destroyed quick play?
