Im not convinced with the anti-cheat

Towerman007

I really want to download Valorant because it really looks like a lot of fun and I've heard a lot of good things, but I've also heard that the anti cheat is fishy. Not only that I've also heard that the anti-cheat has made other games slow, the anti-cheat is a breach of privacy and that the anti-cheat has soft-bricked a lot of pc's that have downloaded it. I would love to get the game but I am scared that it may ruin my only computer that I've spent so much money and time on, the only way I would download the game is if either: someone convinces me, they tone down the Anti-cheat to not run in the background and only when starting up game and ending when game shuts off or if they fix all the Issues mentioned before. I hope this message reaches any one that can help my situation, be it a dev or a person that knows about all the technical stuff.

The AC runs on ring 0 of the kernel, giving it full control of your PC. It's simply a measure to prevent other programs from running in the kernel (cheats) I don't know, I trust Riot and that they don't steal my data because I have important things on my PC.

You can disable the AC, but in order to play you will have to restart the PC since it starts at Windows startup and you can't start it manually.

Not only the anti cheat makes my computer need to restart every half a day with 0 cpu disk ram usage and when im playing valorant i am lagging cursor and ping and dont forget that i couldnt use my pc for 4 days cuz of bad tunning of the anti cheat and above sometimes, im constantly having games like we win 10-0 on split we laugh at the unfair matchmaking and then suddenly ppl in enemy team start to cheating blatantly and we are forced to lose or have a tie i rly dont understand riot games, how am i supposed to have a positive attitude after all that , they said they knew how much we care to not have cheaters and its literally the biggest screw up in the history of games. Are they uncivilizised af or they are just marketing again idk they can go **** if they dont fix the game cuz im addicted again . its nice smooth when it has no issues but cheaters are ruining everything i believe valorant will fail cuz riot wont do anything against cheaters, i stronly believe that nothing they can do . Especially after provoking the hacker community cuz they dont have what it takes to programmers or tech and no one is gonna help them when they make more money of doing cheats than getting 500.000 dollars lul, like distgusting cs was with pros streamers cheating nothing is gonna change in valorant but its gonna get even worse
p.s. i understand the bad tunning and all these stuffs can be coronovirus issued but that doesnt give a god damn yes to having cheaters and an abusive anti cheat my personal opinion dont download the game or have a specific pc to play it . THey obviously can make money by selling info and i think thats their point like tencent strategy i play and will play the game maybe cuz i dont have something better but rly all you guys prevent anything weird from happening i mean for big companies stealing data is the new thing look facebook and stuff obviously your mentioning something and your having it displayed later in your screen and thats undeniable fb is spying valorant ac is nothing different for sure
