Why tf would this need a client-side anti-cheat!?!?!?
It is useless in this game!
I get it in VALORANT. It is hard to detect cheats when mechanical skill is part of who wins but a topdown moba doesn't have any of that!
Correct me if I am wrong but I think this sucks.
At least in Dota 2, macros can give huge advantages. For example, cycling through every meepo to start a poof and blinking takes ~10 inputs in a precise order with an extremely tight timing window. Very mechanically demanding. A macro can execute it perfectly with a single button press instantly. Similar with Invokers Invoke ability for sequenced combos of specific spells.
I honestly have no idea if an equivalently demanding sequence of inputs exists in LoL.
I have never played Dota and when reading this I am too scared to start.
Don't worry, Meepo is probably the hardest character, or atleast one of the hardest characters in Dota. Most other heroes are much easier. The game is still pretty hard, but because mechanical skill is less needed compared to game knowledge, it's not much harder than League (still even League is quite hard, but that's the nature of mobas.)
