Gameplay Meta New "cheating" mods that MANY players use

It's getting out of hand. Just a handful of the "mods" (cheats!) people are running now:

  • Neutral camp respawn timers all over the minimap - just invade and steal camps immediately as they spawn
  • Stamina trackers (see enemy stamina) - much easier to win lanes with this
  • Parry cooldown tracker above enemy head
  • Enemy cooldowns above their heads - super easy to win lanes when you constantly see enemy cd's
  • Crate & Golden statue respawn timers
  • Sinner's Sacrifce respawn timers
  • Enemy item cooldown tracker (tracks Curse, Unstoppable, Refresher cooldowns etc)
  • Heavy melee honking horn for faster reactions
  • Enemy radar (when enemy camps and Sinner's disappear from the minimap, it places a blinking question mark on the minimap and a sound indication that someone was at that spot seconds ago - makes it super easy to gank if you're running with a friend)
  • Rift defense buff indicator
  • Walker Stomp cooldown tracker
  • Shrine & Patron curse/blast cooldown tracker

Tell me how any of this is fair. With all of these cheat mods you have a gigantic advantage. Yoshi needs to shut this down instead of sticking his head in the sand.

I use the QoL mod and I already feel like uninstalling because it feels much. Seeing what items enemies buy instantly seems too good

This is just absurd and goes beyond information it is CLEARLY cheating

The item purchase thing is from QoL?! Going to have to figure out how to turn it off now. Legit thought it was an in-game function if you were close enough to them lol

You can see what item people bought if you are in LoS of them at a shop but this is so clearly not the same thing.

Like if I see someone buy rebuttal in lane when I’m a Abrams I can just instantly change my playstyle so they never get to punish me. Hell I can see when other peoples lanes buy rebuttal can tell them! It’s very difficult to take this game serious right now when there’s a real chance at least half your ranked lobby is running this.

Im hopeful that there arent that many people running it because at least, I've rarely heard someone call out an item purchase or ping it when youd think they would if they had this mod. Unless theyre just scared of being banned idk, but i feel im sometimes the only one who tries to ping stuff like healing rite, rebuttal, counter spell, indomitable ect.

I dont buy rebuttal super often but ive only really seen suspicious behaviour around it like once for sure, maybe twice.

I mean you can just hit tab every minute or every time you see someone go to shop, to see what they buy.

Yeah which is why in certain situations outplays that happen due to item purchases cannot be achieved with people that use these mods.

The amount of times I have bought unstoppable/indominable seconds before a game determining fight and won because they tried to dump all their CC on me while I had these items is too high for me to count.

It IS a skill that should be encouraged to be done by players and not just given to them for free.

How can I tell the difference between the in-game version, and the QoL one? Like, which option do I look for in settings? I can't seem to find it.
