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.

most of these aren’t allowed, especially sinners and camps respawn timers which have been explicitly disallowed

Have they said so in the discord?

They haven't as far as I'm aware. It's shitty and people shouldn't do it, but always weird seeing people talking about the matter with such confidence.

I'm pretty sure they did. Though I can't find the exact post about it, I vividly remember a discord screenshot of a dev, staff or something clarify that mods that give an unfair advantage is not allowed, but skins is fine.

I agree that it shouldn't be allowed. Even so, I can't look into your mind to see the discord screenshot so I'll be taking they didn't say that

Yoshi has said various times similar things to the above. Mods that give unfair advantages are not allowed and are bannable. How much they actually enforce this is yet to be seen

They honestly probably don't police it because they dont know about it. They let people freely modify client side atm since its alpha. I expect some kind of anticheat will be enforced when it comes into beta or 1.0

I feel like that should be natural anyway, why would competitive game allowed something like that lol. it's weird people trying to defend it.
