Getting audio queues for what is happening on the screen is cheating, pure and simple. "Game awareness" is one of the most difficult aspects to master in fps. I've been playing fps for a very long time, and I would point at the the death cues in particular as being absolutely unfair, you either have to defocus your perception to take in the kill feed(a very difficult thing to do during an intense fight), or move your eyes away from the reticle to read the feed. It would be trivial for the game devs to add this, or put a mini kill feed under the reticle(some games have this, like PUBG) but they don't, and that makes it "assistive software" aka cheating. Further, if you are working with teammates, they can't use a subtle queue like a beep, they likely have to speak, "1 down" or such, which is much more disruptive to your ability to hear footsteps. What further makes this egregious in the case of Valorant is that there isn't even hit markers, so if you are, say, shooting into smoke, this give you a significant advantage to know what's going on in a fight.
Likewise, counting bullets is a very difficult skill to master, and this, like the death notifier is a straight up replacement for that skill (with the caveat being you can't go pro gamer, lol, like it matters for the average cheater) the same way an aimbot is a replacement for the mechanical skill of mousing. Sorry, but training isn't an in-game assist.
If I saw a twitch streamer using this I'd be livid.
This gross, and fuels the need for invasive 0-ring anti-cheat malware.
Not to say everything about this software is cheating, I think providing detailed character/map/mechanics analysis is fine, and a great business idea, but this real-time in-game feedback is gross, at least in the fps genre that I'm familiar with.
