I don’t quite understand the criticism. It’s not gonna be top of the line, but it’s more than enough to replace my dying laptop from 2015 that I pretty much only ever use like a desktop anyway. And I can save myself the time and effort of picking parts, building, and dealing with shit not working as expected.

    Sure to some people. Other people just prefer multiplayer games, and are unfortunate about the games they like having shitty anti-cheat.

    No reason to be so high and mighty about it.

      You could be playing Dota or CS2, just saying. Both without voluntarily installing a rootkit onto your computer to play a fucking video game, just begging for the proprietary kernel privileged spyware to be exploited ((:

      I repeat installing a rootkit onto your computer by your own volition to play a god damned video game

        I don’t disagree with you at all, but if I still had PC gamer friends and they were playing stuff like this, i might have a tough choice to make… even if it is

        a god damned video game

          If any friends of mine would play League I would try to rescue them out of that toxic hellhole of an objectively unsustainably designed game (have hundreds of hours myself from my preteens and early teens) and respectfully explain to them their technical incompetence or lack of proper priorities in that matter (which counts for anyone installing Kernel level malware disguised as anti cheats)

          If it were Valorant, I’d just ask them to play CS2 with me :p
