The user vs root division does not need to be bypassed for a game. Riot does bypass it with their kernel-mode driver for the anti-cheat mechanism.

As parent comment noticed there is no need to bypass anything. Just ask the user for root permissions like any other installer and the user will accept.

That's how Riot installs their thing in the first place and that's how everybody can install their own thing.
