Riot Games has expressed that kernel level ~~anticheat~~ is becoming an industry standard, that ~~to be able~~ to defeat cheaters operating at the kernel level is to also be operating at the same level ~~and that this~~ is the only way to stop account botting, ranked boosting and to ban cheaters permanently via using hardware identifiers.

Riot Games has expressed that kernel level anti cheat is becoming an industry standard however no other anti cheat software is as invasive as Vanguard. Riot claims that to defeat cheaters operating at the kernel level, it is necessary to also be operating at the same level. This is untrue. They claim the only way to stop account botting, ranked boosting and to ban cheaters permanently via using hardware identifiers is to compromise your privacy despite the fact that other company's within the gaming industry whom are capable of banning bots and cheaters including hardware banning customers can do so without the need of kernel-level anti cheat detection that runs even when you are not playing their games.

Riot Vanguard is the only anticheat that requires it to be running at all times.
