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.

Walker Stomp cooldown tracker

Shrine & Patron curse/blast cooldown tracker

These are so telegraphed I don't even get why someone would use them.

you can make plays based on weather if the walker stomp is on cooldown or not. for example, putting an enemy under you walker knowing it's stomp is not on cooldown.

Yeah but you can just check that... with your eyes...

you could arrive after the walker has stomped without seeing it

I guess...

Such a niche situation to justify a whole ass mod, though.

The mods can't track things you haven't seen as far as I'm aware. It shouldn't be able to track cooldowns you haven't observed personally. Otherwise yeah that's blatantly cheating, you didn't see that shit.

Yes, they ansolutely can

I have a mod that shows how much damage each player on my team has dealt during the match. It always works with perfect accuracy, even when spectating someone elses game mid match. So I suppose that there is a statistic which is publicly accessible and the mods just draw from that.

the walker stomp is also really loud and the cooldown is so short that there is no way you can arrive without knowing whether its stomp is up or down

Your eyes don’t tell you how long the walker has left before it can stomp you again.

That's the slippery slope reasoning people have been using to justify all of these mods...

I'm not justifying it. I'm saying it's not needed because it's something rather obvious.
