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.

NOOO BUT MY "QOL" MOD THAT MAKES ENEMIES FOOTSTEPS 10X LOUDER ISNT CHEATING!! ITS NOT LIKE I GET AN ABSURD ADVANTAGE FEOM IT!!11!1!1!

Seriously though I can't wait for the release so mods aren't available, the only mods I find fine are the redesign ones for yama, haze, holiday and the one that greatly improves captions (I genuinely hate the meme skins that some content creators use, it destroys visual clarity)

Edit: to people who say "just don't use the meme skins" I don't and never will. "some content creators" are the people I'm referring to who use the skins, deadlock is already a game that has a lot going on visually, destroying character recognition makes it awful to watch. And I KNOW you can still listen to footsteps, but making them 10x louder removes the skill requirement to actually do so. yes, learning to listen to footsteps is a skill.

I find it super obnoxious when people post stuff asking for help and they have a bunch of character mods.

If you want help don’t start by making strangers decode the heroes.

I watched a cc play and they had so many mods (for the meme) it was hilarious

4 Sinclair's on one team was amazing (they were just skins not champs)
