The point I was making is riot isn't just a league of legends company. They are a game company that is applying this anti cheat on their entire software suite. This decision cuts off future growth- which from a business standpoint is awful. That of course completely ignores the primary issue, which remains, the rootkit.

Highly competitive is... no more competitive than any other game... but on that subject their matchmaking was so poor they had to hide the ELO mechanic completely to mask the issues with it. The issues still exist of course... but just like this smokescreen masking the shortcomings in their anticheat.... they are just less obvious.

edit: some words
