In fact, almost all pixel bots utilize HeroLib to function at a high level; however, as you mentioned, it requires custom rotations and custom coding to consider various factors in order to even do high-end content. At the end of the day, Hekili is just mostly a Simc Port with very basic functions.
My problem comes down to when people make ridiculous claims that we all know are untrue.
It really started with EpicSync, when he claimed to sell custom rotations but was actually selling a hook for Hekili that worked with an unlocker. Meanwhile, you could literally get the same hook for free, and it was open source. He wasn't even doing anything custom; he was (and still is) basically robbing innocent people of $80 for a simple hook, with nothing really custom.
I think almost all pixel bots and memory bots have the option to use Hekili. It's a suitable alternative to use when a custom option isn't available. Still, for me, it won't be the first option if I have custom rotations available to me by skilled developers.
Good for you, though, if you reached these results; however, as you stated, you had to "customize it heavily". You're not just using it out of the box and getting Gladiator or 3.8k IO; honestly, that seems almost unbelievable to me unless carried. However, good for you if you were able to achieve such things with it.

For M+ I played tank, and I only played pugs, so there isn’t really a way to get carried at 19–20 keys as a tank. I didn’t change much, just fixed the active mitigation logic because the native one was meh for some weird reason, and manual CDs of course.
For Gladiators, it’s a walk in the park until 2.1k in any bracket, you just PvE them down. I just had to fix the interrupt logic in the state.lua so it doesn’t instantly interrupt people, also I created a list to interrupt only important casts. I got called out a few times before I fixed it, but after that there were zero callouts and I almost always interrupted correctly.
From ~2.2 to 2.6k was tough, you already need to know the game on a good level to be able to achieve it even with Pixel. So yeah, I give you that about PvP internal cheats with unlocker being much superior in PVP. There isn’t much you can do regarding the protected functions with pixel, but for PvE, as tank and DPS, Pixel hook on is miles ahead of any internal rotation bot.
Regarding other pixel bots, they all are using AHK. AHK is just outdated, and performance wise is subpar, also gets ppl banned randomly, just the other day I read in another topic the guy got banned running his own script, that's why I wrote my reader in C++. If you play tank/dps PVE, I would gladly give you a free key to try it out, I bet you would change ur mind.
Just outta curiosity, with your custom rotations, do you let the script decide ur CDs for you? just wanna know if some developer out there actually took the time to put the logic in there for every type of encounters, I assume with internal cheats would be easier.
