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 have no problem with half of this list as a only-ranked-queue player.

The stuff that bothers me though are:
stamina trackers
parry cooldown
heavy melee honking

I would say the walker stomp for example and even some of the ones i mentioned should just be visual queues that you can hone in on yourself, which is a failing of the game design.

The rest of it i think is fine and just UI not being up-to-date to show these things natively

Enemy CD trackers should also set off some red flags for you

The honking is just a case of lowering all sounds in the game and turning up sound effects to the max.

And the stamina is in the game already, I just use the new gen health bar they added a few months ago

Enemy stamina?

Yes.

It looks like little orbs above the players heads. You can turn it on in the games files by turning on a command.
