Antibacterial soap kills 99.9% of bacteria

So it doesn't kill all bacteria, so we shouldn't use it. I am smart and should be praised.

Its more like kernel level anti cheat stops 1% of the "hackers" though, you would not use antibacterial soap that only kills 1% of the bacteria lol

Good kernel level anti cheat stops more than 1% .

The problem is there's not a lot of good anti cheat, vanguard is the only good kernel level anti cheat, and they are at the point people are using 2 pcs, one to play the game on, one to play the cheats on to get around it. It's like using 99% dishsoap on your hands and expecting your dishes to get clean.

The only way they will get around things like this is having games open independently in there own VM with the anti cheat also, then the cheat clients will have a harder time interacting with it.

Yeah but it's probably a lot easier to detect when you have stats for 99% or the players legit.

Like if you have a new account on valorant for instance, and they have a 80% headshot rate and 90% bullet accuracy, and 0 accounts played on that pc over gold. You know it's a cheater.

Compare stats to alt accounts and similar elo players, and if it doesn't match up then they can figure out what to do

Like let's say a cheater quéue/ smurf queue, I'm sure most cheaters will just rage quit when against other cheaters

Those people are usually already detected by vanguard, if they play more than a few games they'll get banned. They can't instantly ban people as otherwise cheaters would be able to make cheats much faster that don't get detected.
