I think it's impossible to make an anti-cheat system that is both effective and palatable to security-minded individuals. Game cheating is an arms race, and it can quickly poison an online community. If you want to see examples of what it looks like when anti-cheat isn't taken as seriously, pop over to the Titanfall 2 or Apex Legends subreddits. Every single anti-cheat system has been the subject of hand wringing by HN at some time or another. I don't think there's an answer until the OS itself has a way of preventing cheaters in a trustworthy way. Maybe cloud gaming will solve this, but it isn't solving it yet. Until then, I don't blame Riot or anyone for aggressive anti-cheat practices. They're protecting their community and their business.
