Not that I know of, the most popular open source games I have heard of are Space Station 13 (and its newer release Space Station 14 on steam), and Beyond All Reason which is an RTS.
An open source and popular MOBA would have an even larger problem with cheating and bad actors.
Edit: people are missing the point, and I didn’t state it fully.
What open source games have moderation teams and support teams? What open source games want to deal with ban evasion? What open source games want to deal with the notoriously toxic MOBA communities?
I would argue that the pacing of a Dota match is one of the many things that makes it better than League.
I find league is insanely repetitive and has very little room for player creativity or expression beyond “I can hit my skill shots”. It’s just rote exercise that you can map out to the minute. Dota gives heroes and players space to breathe and flexibility to play in multiple ways, not to mention having a balance team that actually wants to balance the game, not just sell the latest champions.
Edward Snowden showed that the US is spying on their citicens but nobody seems to care. But when China is doing it, everybody seems to lose their mind.
Agreed. China isn’t going to put together a bogus profile based on poorly researched correlations and throw me on a list with no ability to defend or appeal the decision. And if they do–who cares? I’m never going to China.
I was gonna care until I read league of legends. Clearly people already hate themselves and despise sensible choices and alternatives. Otherwise they wouldn’t play lol.
MOBA is possible to be good and have come back games but LoL is entenched in shitty game design choices from 15 years ago and largely survives because its free to play and anyone interested in MOBAs has heard of it and played it. I’d argue games like smite or monday night combat do the MOBA genre better and advance from crippling rts controls on an action oriented game, but those never caught on cause the moba crowd hates change and innovation.
Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
The Sony BMG CD copy protection scandal concerns the copy protection measures included by Sony BMG on compact discs in 2005. When inserted into a computer, the CDs installed one of two pieces of software that provided a form of digital rights management (DRM) by modifying the operating system to interfere with CD copying. Neither program could easily be uninstalled, and they created vulnerabilities that were exploited by unrelated malware. One of the programs would install and “phone home” with reports on the user’s private listening habits, even if the user refused its end-user license agreement (EULA), while the other was not mentioned in the EULA at all. Both programs contained code from several pieces of copylefted free software in an apparent infringement of copyright, and configured the operating system to hide the software’s existence, leading to both programs being classified as rootkits.

They want you to be digital slaves
The only good thing to come out of RIOT are the animations. Those don’t require exposing myself to the CCP.
Cool, PC gaming sucks now anyway.
I wonder what is dead by daylight’s easy anti cheat?
On a side note im delighted that someone with the username rooty is talking about unrooted things.
Am I a simple man who enjoys simple things.
Im also okay with this

Security through obscurity clearly isn’t working anyway

Dota has always been a drastically better game, I see this as an absolute win for Linux. League is cancer.

Nope, I just realize how much better it can be when the dev team has creativity and respect for players.
I don’t understand the Vanguard hate. Its one of the best anti cheats and unlike EAC it doesn’t take screenshots of your desktop.
Just use a separate OS install for games.
Another reason not to play LoL.

If the group doing the spying is ideologically in the same “tribe”, people don’t seem concerned. It’s both a survival mechanism and our Achilles heel.
For me it’s the opposite, they are so far away from me I couldn’t care less what Xiaomi does with my info.
Agreed. China isn’t going to put together a bogus profile based on poorly researched correlations and throw me on a list with no ability to defend or appeal the decision. And if they do–who cares? I’m never going to China.
This makes more logical sense however most people see foreign as worse than local but controlling.
Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t, and all that.

Everything bad about LoL is it being a MOBA. I think you can’t prevent toxicity in a MOBA.
In a team with randoms, if you start losing you’re stuck in an unfun game where you get crushed by the ennemi for half an hour.
What’s not to love?

You must not have paid attention to the smite “pro” scene if you believe that game is in a good spot.
i mean, that’s not Moba specific, Counter Strike, you get 1 griefer and it becomes a slog fest.
it’s the people that suck, lots of raging and griefing at the slightest setback by people who have no life.
Quit that shit a long time ago, have not played multiplayer games in years.

Is this the death of LoL on Linux, then? It was possible to get it working pretty well a few days after every patch, but this will change all that.
removed by mod
Isn’t that basically the entire player base anyway?

Yes, if Valorant hasn’t been playable on Linux due to Vanguard then so will LoL.
Meanwhile counter strike players are wanting valve to install kernel level anti cheats because it works so well in valorant.

It’s because VAC kinda sucks. People will rather have a functioning anti-cheat with more access than play with cheaters.
Different software purposes and all, but it vaguely puts me in the mind of the Sony compact disc DRM scandal.
