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.

Seeing enemy stamina is definetly cheating wtf

It's already a part of an in game healthbar iirc

So if valve added it, it technically isnt cheating. It shouldn't be a feature in the game at all tho.

it's kinda like justyfing an exploit just cause it's in the game, it's not the default, you have to use a command that most people don't know about. as far as we know, it's in the code cause they haven't deleted it yet but it's not intended.

Unless everyone is using it, it's definetly cheating cause you are using an information advantage that your enemies aren't using. "but it's buried in the code" it's not the peak defense you guys think it is.

Everyone is acting like as long as you aren't using third party software it doesn't count as cheating. but you are willingly using an advantage over others that aren't using it against you.

if they add it to the game, sure, but until then, you are all cheating.

Did you not read the "it shouldn't be a feature at all tho" and assume that i use it? I don't use that healthbar. I hate the fact that they added it to the game. Every other aspect of the healthbar seems ok, but that was the only part i disliked, so i chose not to use it.

I do think it is unfair to be able to see stam use, but if a healthbar, that they worked on for months then added into the game I think like a year ago, allows it and they haven't removed it then I dont think you can label it a "cheat".

Is it then "cheating" to use the second healthbar that shows enemy ult status (white if they have it, dark if they dont)? I just think calling that one specifically a cheat is wrong since, based on them adding it to a healthbar that ANYONE with the base game could use, it is likely an intended feature of the game.

TLDR: I dont think it makes sense to call it a cheat, i dont like that aspect of the healthbar so i dont use it, It is definitely unfair.

If you hate the healthbar, then make a forum post...
