The game would probably be more vulnerable then, because now you have "cheat" scripts designed to work with the game.

People who cheat aren't trying to practice; they're trying to win games. There already exists a "practice mode" which lowers cooldowns and shows tower ranges. And it doesn't make sense to practice with cheats because it won't help you play the game without cheats very much.

That's possible. For example, World of Warships is a game where you fire big ship-mounted guns and must learn to take shell travel time and target relative velocity into account to hit moving targets. There used to be a cheat which did those calculations for you and showed you a reticle you could aim at instead. IIRC this cheat relied on code that existed within the game already and was just not used.
