Would it be ok for Huk to sit next to me during a match reminding me of things I should be doing? | ||

...Yeah. Do people really believe that something being digital somehow makes it magically more advantageous than anything else? I guess I'll have to turn of the Windows Timer, too, since I happen to have that running in the background. It's unfair to have a visible clock on the screen, since not everybody plays in windowed mode. | ||

I think it's ok to use it up till mid-masters, since still up to that point you clearly have a problem with mechanics which you need to improve. I would be perfectly fine if somebody from gold league used that against me. | ||

Songs are different, they don't specifically target certain timings such as larvae injects and/or any other timing (Supply, random timing pushes, etc.) I would definitely say no to this program. Poll: Is this cheating? No (88) Yes (31) Maybe/Undecided (3) 122 total votes Your vote: Is this cheating? So if my song's lyrics repeat "Supply, mini-map, 4, 5, 6, 7!" then it isn't okay because it targets something specific, but if it generally makes me keep my APM high due to the beat (or to put it another way, is an audio file that is slightly more difficult to benefit from,) then it is okay? What if I have a song that changes from bridge to chorus every 32 seconds and I set that on repeat? Because it is a more obscure, is that okay? Who is the judge of how obscure these reminders have to be? This is a pretty interesting line you are trying to draw here. | ||

It's only an indicator. If it was tied to the game and actually waited for the inject ability to be ready, then IMO that would be cheating, but this system is pretty innocent. Also, I don't know how the app works but I would suggest that if it's basically a sound loop, the sound should be progressive. For instance if you inject every 32 seconds (if that's the actual timing), at 29 seconds into the loop, the notification should start beeping, getting progressively louder and stop at 32 seconds. Just a thought. | ||

That said, I would be very disappointed in somebody Plat or above who used this software, because that is the are where learning your injects are key. So the morality of the issue is based on league placement... Its okay in Gold but not Platinum. What if I'm in Gold and I'm matched against a Platinum player and don't know it before hand? What's the moral thing to do in this situation? I think the appropriate thing to do is if I win the game in that situation, I need to call Blizzard and ask that they remove the win from my record, and send a check for the pro-rated minimum wage in my opponent's state to compensate him for defrauding him out of his playing time with my cheater software. | ||

OKAY it's a third party program and SHOULD NEVER be used in competitive matches but obviously it won't. Makes learning a little easier for people, chill. | ||

This is not cheating. It does not give the opponent a disadvantage, and if anything for players who aren't already close to this timer, they'll struggle to use it properly beyond the 10 minute mark anyway, as always. Besides, if you miss an inject and do it halfway, your timer becomes useless. Anyway, I can't believe people consider this cheating. Next I'll hear skype is cheating, or having someone give you tips while you play. League placement is a non issue in this. It's a non issue for live tournaments, and honestly not even an issue for online tournaments since all of the above is just distracting at a high level. | ||

You could argue that a maphack is to learn how different builds look at different times without checking out replays. Not sure how much I like this, but then again zerg is the race I play the least, so probably biased. Just saying that argument doesn't hold water. | ||

I don't condemn the program that has been developed here. I condemn the improper use of this program. | ||

EDIT: I don't do that, though, because I'd feel like a cheating bastard. | ||
