The claims⁠, which were mainly shared on X (formerly Twitter) but also popped up across Reddit and Facebook, range from Vanguard preventing startup programs from firing correctly to other programs crashing when the anti-cheat software loads, and some have even suggested Riot's kernel program has been “tampering with unrelated files.” Others simply dubbed it “malware” and declared they would be quitting League until the program stopped breaking PCs.

One high-profile example came from famed League creator LS, who reported both his computers breaking after Vanguard was installed on May 1. He said he fixed one by taking out the CMOS battery and forcing BIOS access, but suggested his other computer is “still bricked.”

:

Several user posts on the purported Vanguard issues have also been shared to the main League subreddit but they have since been deleted.

While Riot has yet to address any of the early backlash directly, tech staff have been active in the “Patch 14.9 Bug Megathread” on /r/LeagueOfLegends. One Riot reply suggested some of today's alleged issues “wouldn't be related to Vanguard” and offered up a simpler solution⁠—restart impacted devices and run PC troubleshooting.

The same Riot staffer also suggested any aggrieved players could upload Riot Vanguard logs to the League support page to help “isolate what the issue is.” All the Reddit comments from that Rioter have since been removed.

Let me know if you agree or disagree. I'll also be rating them with a letter grade.

Starting off with the first drug I ever tried, marijuana. I used to love pot and smoke it daily. Somewhere around age 20 it stopped agreeing with me and no matter how little I smoke the only noticeable affect this drug has is anxiety. It's gay and gross and I don't like weed. Sue me.

Grade: F

Second up is alcohol. This drug also used to be fun, but now I don't much care for it. I just get really sleepy. But I enjoy beer with a meal, cuz I'm a man.

Grade: C

Nicotine. Fricking love it, eh. Nothing quite hits the spot like nicotine and it's always there for you when you need it.

Grade: A

LSD. Too fricking long and I've done too much of the shit. Used to sell it in highschool. Anytime I take it it's just a bad trip and I'm told to hang up the phone. It still has a place in my heart though, but it's hard to explain. It almost feels like going to a magic show but you know all the tricks already.

Grade: C

Shrooms. Tastes like butt but at least it lasts a normal amount of time. Same problem as LSD, though. Psychs just ain't it for me anymore, and that's okay.

Grade: C

Salvia. Frick that shit.

Grade: F--

DMT. Too much for me. Every time I've broken through I fight it too hard and just give myself a bad trip.

Grade: D

Adderall. I thought I liked stims, but really it just gives me anxiety and I also gack my jaw all over the place. Not a huge fan.

Grade: C

Benzos. What's the point of these little dudes except to knock the frick out? All my friends got wildly addicted to these in our earlier years but I never got the appeal. Just makes me sleep. Kinda nice.

Grade: B

Opiates. What's not to love? Makes your whole body feel like it's on a cloud. All the pain is gone. Good little dudes.

Grade: A+

Cocaine. Frick me did I get addicted to this shit. Another drug I've sold a lot of. Genuinely enjoyable in a party situation. Love to mix it with alcohol and play darts. Had a bad problem with it but quit cold turkey when I found out my wife was pregnant and now every time I do it I get anxiety and feel like shit. Idk the high kinda just feels like addiction as a high I guess though.

Grade: B

MDMA. Overdid it in highschool. Killed the magic and my braincels.

Grade: D

Meth. Only purposefully smoked it once, probably snorted it a bunch of times. Kinda feels like adderall 2.0 but with more addiction

Grade: F

Heroin. Only smoked it once. Puked. Felt great. Then instant withdrawals. Not fun.

Grade: F

Bloomberg Economics estimates that reverse migration will likely add between one-fifth and one-third of Russia's annual economic growth.

Not even 2 weeks have passed since they got 61 billion

Things with Taiwan nobody knows how it will end since it's an island and drones probably now can destroy the whole Chinese fleet. Amphibious attacks are now in ultra shit situation so Russian now don't even cross rivers

Yellow I marked in Chasiv Yar where the river goes under ground and you can see Russian attacking those places

So China should make Korea Great again

Also peak khohol IQ, wanting to get closer to China and dropping something like this
