Cheating: Create, use, offer, promote, advertise, make available and/or distribute the following or assist therein:
cheats; i.e. methods not expressly authorized by Blizzard, influencing and/or facilitating the gameplay, including exploits of any in-game bugs, and thereby granting you and/or any other user an advantage over other players not using such methods;
bots; i.e. any code and/or software, not expressly authorized by Blizzard, that allows the automated control of a Game, or any other feature of the Platform, e.g. the automated control of a character in a Game;
hacks; i.e. accessing or modifying the software of the Platform in any manner not expressly authorized by Blizzard; and/or
any code and/or software, not expressly authorized by Blizzard, that can be used in connection with the Platform and/or any component or feature thereof which changes and/or facilitates the gameplay or other functionality;
Whether we agree with it or not is irrelevant. By playing this game you already agree that you both read the Terms of Service and End User License Agreement and agree to abide by the rules.
The only exceptions occur when - as stated by Blizzard - the specific cheat, bot, hack, or code is expressly authorized by Blizzard.
Until then, use of Visor is cheating and anyone who uses it already knows they are cheating (unless of course you didn’t read the Terms of Service or End User License Agreement like you are supposed to which in that case you dug your own grave).
EDIT: An official response from Blizzard in this post
well i don’t think Visor is considered cheating currently , as blizzard didn’t say anything about the thing… nobody knows if they approve the software or not yet
Blizzard won’t say anything for a long while, they are too lazy, and most of the focus is making more skins for micro transactions and OWL right now.
it will remain in a gray zone then , it doesn’t trigger the anti-cheat nor give you any extreme advantage , tbh i don’t think they consider it cheating
You and your spammy textwalls. Everyone who knows about Visor has seen this dozens of times in the last week. You should post it a dozen more times to be sure though lol.
Well then why their anti-cheat didn’t start banning it ? i think they are working on authorizing it , cause if they would consider it cheating players using it should’ve been already banned
Same reason a lot of aim bots aren’t being banned. They aren’t transparent with how that works so we don’t really know. The only thing we have as a basis factually is their official statement which makes it clear that using Visor is cheating until it is authorized.
The program is out for a few days now and there was a lot of community talking about it , by this time they had time to decompile it and insert the source code into the anti-cheat.
Well maybe they need more time to think about it
Maybe they are talking with the Maker’s of Visor to just remove the featurs that are overall bad leave them time
