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.

There's actually something worse than league players now, the league devs outdid themselves when they grouped together league players, diaper fetishists and every
under the sun with their new title. Valorant. Thankfully this vanguard thing fricks both games

I had to create a new account at one point because I would insta-pick techies every match (unless it was banned and then I would do something like shadow blade + dagon 5 bloodseeker). It would piss off the 9 other players and I would just trash talk both my team and the other team for the whole match. So many reports...

Shortly after their latest "rework"
of the Behavior Score system, I found myself dropping score even when I didn't type/speak to my team at all. Had to quit til they fixed whatever bullshit bug was in the system. I've slowly been building it again since I came back.

Not until the 2nd week of August, I think. I'm in the same boat, I've only played like 5 games since it came out lol at least it's FAR more friendly to casual players than previous events.

PROTIP: Losses still give you one token from the hero you chose to play, but it's random. Victories give you one of each type of token they offer.
(I.E., Broodmother has 3 Crawling tokens, so you will at least get a crawling token 100% of the time, win or lose. It's really nice and takes away the YOU-MUST-WIN-TO-PROGRESS nature of Dota events.

LoL is built on copious amounts of spaghetti code from people who have very little idea of what they are doing with very little money. Valorant was at least built with money.

When I tried to reinstall league again last week but saw that they added that shit, I immediately decided I'd never play league again. Easy decision and the vindication I'm getting from it right now is so much better than anything I'd get playing that trash game.

I don't understand the Ruqqus administrators' obsession with this carp guy. He's one of the most malicious, hatred-inducing individuals I've ever seen online. Literally makes people hate him on purpose. And for some inexplicable reason, all of the Ruqqus administrators not only follow this one man's word for everything and ignore the 99.99% of other people on their site, but even as the site is dead, they literally make his post that claims things like 'the free speech model is bad' as their HOMEPAGE. Does anyone know why they are fixated with this one sociopathic guy's bizarre opinions?
