This is along the same lines as streamers getting meta info from their chat.

If it's been rendered on the screen but the user missed it, it's not cheating because you would have had that information if you were more observant

Missing a 0.5 second blip on the minimap vs the monitor telling you HEY HE'S OVER THERE! for several seconds with a big icon you can't miss or ignore, is not quite the same.

One of them is a big advantage. Even pros miss fast blips on the minimap. And it's their job to be "observant"

Pros can memorize where each player is and could be. They don't need AI, it actually might even hurt their gameplay.

Maybe instead of buying an expensive monitor to get out of silver, consider buying boosting services... At least you won't look like a dunce.

I'm sitting low diamond and is perfectly OK with that.

But your pathetic attempt at an insult doesn't change the fact that a monitor like that is an unfair advantage, regardless of rank

[–] vsh@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I think you misunderstood, cause it wasn't aimed directly at you. I perfectly know what kind of advantage hardware gives you. Here's the answer:

None.

As someone who played in low diamond with players playing on trackpads, I can say I've seen everything.

Every single thing in league can be memorized and guessed. From the minion wave patterns to the enemy's reverse jungle pathing.

This AI is doing the same, it guesses everything based on whatever data it has at its disposal. If you want more laid back games, then don't play to rank up. It's that simple.

Oh, and if you have a good communicative team you'll get better info. Perhaps better than a monitor 😂

By that logic, aimbots should be fine in FPS because the dude was on the screen for it to trigger. I would have had that headshot if I had faster reflexes, so it's all good.
