Cool gimmick, just icky that their target audience is the type of people looking for unfair advantages in a multiplayer game
Wow, who knew you could buy a monitor that looks at your data and probably sends it back to MSI.
This isnt just going to get used in LOL but any game that it can be trained on. This is basically another example of money giving people an advantage over everyone else. You buy the monitor, train it and bam, you are “better” at playing pretty much any video game you want and there’s not much that can be done to negate that advantage.

Contrary to what device manufacturers would have people believe, the differences in gaming outcome between a cheap keyboard or mouse and expensive ones isn’t much. But what this monitor is claimed to be able to do would provide a significant tangible advantage. This shouldn’t be normalized.
HwID-ban straight to hell…

That’s the point of banning by hardware ID.
detecting it is the problem. If the software is truly being run on the monitor, not the PC, it’s not something Riot can detect, unless they want to just ban anyone with this display connected to their PC (and monitor EID can also be spoofed).
I can “cheat” with my current nearly decade old monitor. It has 4 cross hair overlay settings to choose from, so even if the game doesn’t provide me with a cross hair, I can still have one.
This one is just ridiculous.
You could even put some string over the screen or apply a little static sticker
That’s a shitty move, no good will come from this.
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

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.
