Increasing number of players using 3rd party tools

ACT does not have the function to make you aware of mechanics before there is any visual. It's just an advanced calculator.

This isn't entirely true. There are various mechanics in the game where a packet is dispatched to the client ahead of the actual visual telegraph, allowing ACT/Cactbot to call the mechanic before any player can naturally see it. A good example of this was Optical Sight in A11s; The game packet that specified which pattern Cruise Chaser was using was dispatched at the start of the castbar, while the actual visual telegraph came out at the end of the castbar. This gave players an additional 2-3 seconds to position for the mechanic, which is definitely an unfair advantage.
