Ton of add ons to TFT and how does RIOT feel?

People have trackers to know the exact pool of each champion w/o even having to look at boards. Percent of exactly what will be rolled for. SO much extremely game altering data. How does Riot feel, I'd like to know because I'll be FORCED to use this stuff (I do not at the moment) and I hate that. Ranked should be what RIOT puts in the game only. Otherwise why would it be ToS to use other "add ons" that go farther and break the game or cheat. It is extremely common in high ranked play at the moment. Even if it is client side only there is no way you can say it 100% does not effect shared game play.

OMG really those things are real? I stopped playing that game mode cuz I have enough idle clickers on Steam and got tired of saving up and spending 200 gold to try and find my last piece for the 3 champs I need to get 3*. An add on like that would make the game much less tilting and rng based.

They've already said (somewhere, can't find it) that add ons that show static information (like what items combine into what) is fine. Anything to read the current game state to aid the players with decisions (like showing them the pool or doing live calculations) is not OK.

Use of those add ons are considered unauthorized 3rd party programs and you'll get permabanned for it.

Ha - the game even has the equivalent of "card counting". I predicted this. The same programs that track champion availability can also just tell you which move to make next...

THIS is the real reason why TFT doesn't give XP. Not only could bots play it, but they would win.
