League of Legends players are raising concerns about third-party apps that track enemy ultimate cooldowns, with Porofessor's recent update sparking controversy in the community.

The updated Porofessor app now allows players to:

  • Track enemy ultimate ability cooldowns
  • Calculate cooldowns considering Ability Haste
  • Provide precise timing information previously only available to highly skilled players

Community concerns center on two main issues:

  1. Unfair advantage for app users over players who don't use these tools
  2. Automatic tracking removing the skill element of cooldown management

The impact is most significant in early-game situations, where ultimate ability availability can determine the success of ganks and engagements. While mid and late-game effects are less pronounced, the community remains divided on whether such features should be allowed.

Similar features exist in other apps like Blitz, though Porofessor's implementation has drawn particular attention due to its accuracy and popularity.

Players have suggested two potential solutions:

  • Banning all third-party apps that provide tactical advantages
  • Making cooldown information equally available to all players through the base game
