Are Third-Party Dota 2 Tools Worth Using for Competitive Players?
Staff-created draftThere are so many third-party gaming tools being advertised nowadays.
Some are basic utilities, others modify the game or provide functionality that might not be allowed.
For competitive players, what actually makes a tool worth considering?
Personally, I'd care about security, compatibility, transparency and whether using it violates the game's rules.
Curious what everyone else thinks.

Illustrative experiencesTransparency is a big one. If a developer can't explain what their software does, that's a red flag.
I'd put account safety above every advertised feature.
That's a sensible evaluation framework. Also check current game policies and avoid assuming that advertised compatibility means official approval.
The amount of websites promising literally everything is hilarious. ---
