In my small friend group of 6-7 people we used to regularly play league of legends almost every night. Since vanguard came out we play significantly less. And some of us are trying to switch to Dota instead. The anticheat causes more problems for us than it solves. Playing is such a hassle now. We never noticed cheaters in our games.
Last time I tried to play, my PC bluescreened on the loading screen with an error about vgk.sys. (Vanguard) Then on reboot I get into the game late. It also bluescreened once with the same error while I wasn’t even playing too.
This anticheat causes so many problems on my computer. It always pops up saying it killed some driver. I still haven’t been able to figure out what or why. And it frequently makes all of us reboot in order to play. Other games with kernel level anti-cheat don’t have these issues.
There are definitely ways around these kernel level cheats too- it’s almost certainly just a matter of time. Vanguard specifically is just so invasive and not stable. Looking forward to finally being done with League. Enjoying Dota more anyway.

Yes, it will suck for techies and hackers, but it'll be a better world for the ordinary consumers out there.
