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.
