Competitive video games are supposed to be mind games between you and your opponent, in which the players must predict their opponents next moves and try to deceive each other in the process.
Spotting throws all this out the window, literally ruining the most important contributing factor to depth in video games. If you know where the enemy is exactly, you no longer are playing this mind game with the opponent. No knowledge of the game or skill is required to beat him.

Agreed. Spotting is a game-breaking mechanic.
