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”
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
HwID-ban straight to hell…
That’s a shitty move, no good will come from this.
Its all client-side, so unless LoL is checking the hw on the monitor there is no way to detect it
They could ban hardware, rust banned a certain series of mice to prevent scripting.
Just wow, you can get macro software that works on any mouse or keyboard…
I don’t know, if LoL uses it, but there’s some pretty ridiculous infrastructure in place for DRM, where programs can detect that your entire hardware stack (CPU → GPU → cable → Monitor) hasn’t been tampered with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection
They still can’t detect when you’re filming your monitor, but pretty much everything else…
And that’s actually an argument against buying this monitor, as long as you want to play any games with it. They have reason to ban you just for using this monitor. So in the end you have the choice between one monitor that could get you banned and all the others that don’t. I know which one I wouldn’t choose.
Cool gimmick, just icky that their target audience is the type of people looking for unfair advantages in a multiplayer game
