When I was teaching a friend to play Starcraft I would play the game while sharing vision. The major drawback to this was that he didn't need detectors for stealth, but someone said that map hacks don't reveal cloaked units. If that is true, I would definitely have my friend play me with a map hack on for the learning experience, as opposed to sharing vision.

I dont know how applicable this is for practicing on a competitive level however. Also, I don't have an opinion on whether or not this was the case with localhost.

Well steroids is different. If an athlete uses steroids only in practice, the steroids directly affect actual games. On the other hand, using mh for practice, only helps someone get better, while the mh has no direct affect on a game.

But still, is using mh to practice looked down upon? To me, it seems like a viable way to get better--actually work on timing.

The bottom line is, he COULD be telling the truth. It doesn't matter though, he's accepted the consequences of even HAVING a mh on his computer, and he's paid the price. He's been seemingly forthright and hasn't complained.

If others can come back from hack accusations, I'm sure, if he's legit and if he wants to, he can too.

No-one gets the message: DON'T DOWNLOAD A HACK ... EVER! NOT EVEN FOR PRACTICE.

i dont see the logics that you would gain skill faster with maphack in training games than you would without the hack.


If this excuse is "accepted" then everyone would get away with it

Localhost is scum. Doesn't matter it he apologized and quitted RoX team, he had oblivion hack downloaded and now is trying to buy back some reputation with some crappy excuses no one would believe. My respect goes to everyone who never used maphack and always played legit and losed tons of games without falling in the temptation of playing dirty. Whoever claims to have respect for this guy just from what he said in that post needs to get a new, good working brain. asap.

nobody dl's a hack just for practice or just for "sleep mode." How many athletes do you know keep steroids at home but dont use them? 0

He's a nice guy and a great player. But he is stupid if he thinks anyone buys that logic. And stupider if it is somehow true.

Actually, many athletes have short amounts of training in extreme hight (few 1000 meter above sea) so their body makes extra bloodcells. It's like natures own Dope.

Also athletes specialized in jumping (far and hight alike) sometime use trampolins in trainings. It lets them practice the movement in the air, without having to be able to get as much air as needed to perform the movement.

The same applies with maphack; you can practice your descision making without having to actual be able to know whats going on.

Getting hight = getting information
movement in the air = making decisions.

I know many of the people here don't believe in breaking the game up in parts and practicing them seperatly, but I do. This is a way to achive that.
