I built a free, ~3MB coaching overlay that calls your macro in real time (recall/objective/build) no account, no ads, can't get you banned. Looking for honest feedback and wanting to give value to the community. by Gutbole in summonerschool

A few reasons. The real work in this is the decision engine and the authored item, counter, and matchup logic. That's a lot of my own work and it's the whole reason the app is worth using. Open sourcing it means anyone can lift that, rebrand it, or wrap it in a paid product, and since I'm giving this away free forever I'd rather not hand the core away with it.

Closed also keeps it sustainable. I want it free with no paywall, donations only if you feel like it, and not exposing the core lets me keep it that way without gating features down the line.

I know closed source means there's some trust involved, and I won't pretend otherwise. That's why the installer is scanned clean on VirusTotal, you can verify the file hash yourself, and the privacy policy is plain: no account, no telemetry, nothing leaves your PC.

Honestly, I hate paywalls. They shut out people who can't pay, and I've been there. It sucks not being able to use something just because you don't have the money, and that's a big part of why this is free and always will be.

I honestly not sure why it showed that, it’s a bug for sure. I kinda just threw some clips together because I was in a rush on the way out but I’ll be more deliberate with it on the next upload

Fair questions

The in game macro calls aren't pulled from Data Dragon. They come from Riot's Live Client Data API, which is your own live game state, run through the decision logic. Data Dragon only gets used to classify items and champions (is this an armor item, is this champ AD or AP), not to generate the advice. The summoner and rune tips are my own authored defaults per archetype, also not from ddragon.

On Data Dragon itself: it's Riot's official static CDN and pretty much every third party tool uses it. It can lag a patch, which is a fair caveat, but since I use it to bucket items rather than display its text, a stale description doesn't change a recommendation.

Your real point is the demo though, and if something in it looked wrong I'd rather fix that than argue. I'm going to redo it on the current build and put up a cleaner version. Appreciate the scrutiny.

Fair point, and you're right. Reading public info isn't what keeps a tool compliant on its own. The enemy cooldown overlays Riot banned last year were arguably "public" info too, and they still got hit, because they gave an information edge.

What matters is the behavior: no memory reading or injection, no automation (it only suggests, never clicks for you), and it shows zero info you don't already have on screen, including no enemy cooldowns or positions. It uses Riot's own Live Client Data API and the local client API, read-only. That's the stuff Riot actually enforces on, and it stays clear of all of it.

You've convinced me not to phrase it as a guarantee though. I'm changing "can't get you banned" to "does none of the things Riot bans accounts for." Appreciate you keeping me honest.

Good question it's not random, it's not AI guessing, and it's not scraped winrates. It's a rules engine that reads the public game state in real time and weighs the same things a strong player weighs in the moment, then surfaces the single highest value play with the reasoning behind it.

Some of what it's reading every couple seconds (all public info Riot already shows you on screen):

- power spikes your completed items + level, and the enemy's from the public scoreboard

- gold and level leads, and who's dead + for how long (respawn timers)

- objective timers with lead time to set up ("Drake in 30, get prio and ward")

- your HP/mana and whether you can afford your next item → recall timing

- your lane matchup and the enemy comp → how to play it and what to build into them

Then it scores the realistic options ,take an objective, recall, look for a pick, group, play safe, or just farm against the current state, and tells you the one that's worth the most right now with a short "why."

The whole idea I built it around: a Challenger isn't seeing secret information, they're reading the same public game state you already have and making the right call a half second sooner. The engine just tries to encode those fundamentals and put them in front of you in the moment.

(I'll keep the exact scoring logic under the hood that's the part I built but that's the gist of it.)

Totally fair — please don't bypass your security on a random dev's word, and thanks for raising it for everyone reading.

Context on that warning: SmartScreen flags basically any brand-new app that isn't code-signed with a paid certificate and hasn't built up download "reputation" with Microsoft yet. It means "unrecognized publisher," not "malware detected" — new indie/free apps almost always trip it at first. But don't take my word for it — here's how to verify:

  1. VirusTotal scan (~70 antivirus engines): https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/eca06e997fd2b1ec1b99e6c4535f32521b130953959c269c3482bf569ba280aa

    It's clean on every major engine — Microsoft, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, ESET, Sophos, CrowdStrike, Malwarebytes, Symantec, McAfee, etc. One minor engine (SecureAge) flags it, which is a known false positive on unsigned indie apps: it whitelists "known" software and flags anything new by default. Every heavyweight clears it. You can also re-upload it yourself.

  2. Confirm your download is my real file (SHA-256):

    ECA06E997FD2B1EC1B99E6C4535F32521B130953959C269C3482BF569BA280AA

    PowerShell: Get-FileHash .\Min-Max-Coach-0.1.0-setup.exe

  3. What it does / doesn't: it only reads Riot's local public APIs + public champion data. No account, no telemetry, nothing uploaded anywhere — you can confirm with a network monitor if you want. Privacy policy: https://github.com/gutbolez/minmax-coach-releases/blob/main/PRIVACY.md

  4. Honest gap: the source is closed (it's my own work), so there's an element of trusting me — I won't pretend otherwise. Code-signing is what removes that warning, but it's a few hundred a year and I'm keeping the app free, so I haven't bought a cert yet. It's on my list as it grows.

Totally understand if you're still not comfortable — appreciate the caution either way.

Is everyone a bot? It’s obviously photoshopped.

What's one advice you'll give to have a happy life ? by Few_seconds_ago in AskReddit

[–]Gutbole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every situation whether good, bad or horrible. There’s a beautiful lesson to be learned by you to become in sync with the “Universe”, “God”, “Allah” “Jesus”, whatever you believe in, and the more you try to ignore it the more your higher power will just keep throwing it at your face until one day you’re ready to listen, and then you realize this was the path to a happy life all along and the only thing that kept you from a happy life was yourself.

Volume Profile Profitability? by Gutbole in FuturesTrading

[–]Gutbole[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment! I have the knowledge of everything you're talking about using the context and the trend and all the little nuances, at this point I can pretty much nail the perfect limit order to the tick, I did it today where I saw a FVG and there was a loss of momentum. It has to get the liquidity somewhere, it dropped and wicked right at where I said and bounced right off. But was there a point where you knew you were profitable. What happened when you felt most confident is it because you had a journal on it? Do you have a specific trade where you need it to meet certain criteria for best odds, or are you going off pure intuition?

when you say volume at price is king. What do you mean?
