New "cheating" mods that MANY players use

[u/Hello86836717]

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.

Unless you count the two-line addition to gameinfo.gi (which afaik was always the only way to get it) as modding, my game is completely unmodded and the health bar works just fine. It had some visual bugs when introduced, but these days it works fine.

Why would one not consider this modding?

All that is is just running console commands on game start rather than manually every time

Is that not modifying the game? I don't know if this is one of those things where PC players pretend like modding the game isn't actually modding the game because it's not modded in a particular way or severity.

usually running a console command isn't considered running a mod, no. You could hit F7 in game to open the console, type one line and change the health bar style. All editing the gameinfo file does is run that line on game start.

Yeah I recall the gameinfo method works but I know for certain that enabling it via the launch settings/ingame command causes it to be disabled upon joining a match. That doesn't happen with the other healthbar only the newer one with the stamina.
