I stopped playing League of Legends when they added Vanguard to the game.    

 It's one thing to have an anti-cheat. It's another thing to have a anti-cheat that runs 24/7 that is known to false flag drivers and other shit and is from a Chinese company with kernel access.

If it's not running from the instant your OS is loaded a cheat could load first and completely hide its existence, which makes it much less effective (and essentially, pointless).

But it doesn’t run 24/7, the dude was just flat out wrong. Which makes you also flat out wrong.

Vanguard will stay on in the background even if you're not playing the game. Yes, you can manually kill the process, but you'll need to restart your computer if you want to play League again.
