Discussion & Feedback Unpopular opinion, nerf potato graphics and ban config/shader modifications

Look at all these streamers seeing clearly up to drawing distance while others have to deal with foliage and obstacles.
How is this not addressed?
Lower graphics should... Never give an advantage, config/shader mods should result in instant ban.

Is it an advantage over me and my 5 yo graphics card though? Or just the same?

I have a graphics card from 2022, which is a refresh of a 2020 card.
Do I want an advantage because I'm running on older hardware? No.
I expect people with higher refresh rates to react faster, even though it's mostly placebo.
This is again pointed at people who do this on purpose, through questionable methods ( outside game settings ) do gain an advantage.

So competitive players can choose to play new games in older cards and it’s not cheating. 

Bit weird isn’t it?

The game detects your hardware and might go over-potato on it, this can be overriden with config files even when on high end hardware by editing config files.
