> Now, while most players might find the idea of a corrupted Windows installation objectionable, a disturbing number of cheaters have shown themselves to be downright enthusiastic about the opportunity to jump onto some guy’s botnet in exchange for the ability to orbwalk
Kernel mode cheats do not require joining some guy’s botnet or installing a rootkit, even if they use similar techniques. If this claim was true, Riot would have every incentive to publish more detailed analysis in order to deter people from cheating. However, popular cheats aren’t malware, so they can’t do that. Instead, they’ll just stick to vague insinuations.
It’s a lost battle anyway, DMA cheats keep getting better every day. They will inevitably render clientside anticheat obsolete.
