Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game. Every time you play a game a function is called to screenshot your PC’s screen, in case Vanguard thinks you might have something suspicious, it screenshots your ENTIRE PC screen (all monitors).

Edit: Not trying to spread false info this was shared to me via a friend and there is other data to back up that this is real https://www.unknowncheats.me/forum/anti-cheat-bypass/634974-vanguard-taking-screenshot-pc.html

    A cheating website doesn’t like Vanguard. Big shocker.

      Or MAYBE, people who enjoy “hacking” (the actual programmers, not “cheaters”) and go decompile/learn the inner workings of programs might have a better idea of what’s going on? Just a wild guess.

        I’m a professional software developer. The people hacking league of legends are doing it for money. Guess what kind of activities make money.

          As a fellow professional software developer, you are being silly if you don’t think people do this kind of shit for fun.

            Okay, do YOU honestly think Riot is taking screenshots from regular players and sending them to their servers?

            Or is it more likely that this is propaganda stemming from people who make money selling cheats (and those who are convinced by those rumors)?

        Kinda weird that the top of the league subreddit isn’t filled with people complaining about their bricked PCs, isn’t it.
