From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's wild, is they released a lengthy post on their anti-cheat this month. At one point they mention that current vanguard has been bypassed/defeated...a bunch of lazy clowns.
It also shows LoL's old anti-cheat, you'd get cheaters/scripters/bots anywhere from 1 in 15 games, to 1 in 5, depending on your region. The higher your rank, the more you'd run into cheaters, too, by a lot. Riot games is just a cesspool of free 2 play trash that breeds the most toxic of people.
In a YouTube video I watched last year, a group came up with an extremely good A.I. powered anti-cheat. The kicker is this, they couldn't sell it to a single major studio, because said studios implied that their player count would suffer way too much.
None of these studio's give a single fuck about competitive integrity. Just stfu, keep playing 100s of matches in an obviously broken rank/match making system to slightly rank up, and give us $.
The toxicity is awful. I tried to learn once since I had a buddy that loved the game and I was looking for a game to dump some hours in. This was about 10 years ago or so. My buddy told me he would help teach me the game so I could at least understand what people were saying. It took him one game to start trashing my playing. I fucked off of that game and never played again.
I do not understand how anyone continues to stay in a toxic fanbase even if they really love the game.
Not the video you talked about , but I felt like its related to your last paragraph : How League of Legends Uses Abuse to Keep You Playing | That Jess . While she focuses more on other pieces of moderation than anticheat , she shows how LoLs developers are incentivized to not give a fuck and that they do , in fact , not give a fuck .
You might also find The CS2 Cheater Problem Has Gotten Goofy | TheWarOwl , which talks about Valve's failures to provide integrity , even despite , though he also says its a symptom of these failures , third party anticheat systems .
I'll also add that AI anticheat is not a silver bullet , it also requires upkeep which can be more expensive than classical anticheat systems .
