I don't see the big deal with avatars. They actually help with reads in cases where I forget to take notes. When you're playing 9 tables and you don't always remember everyone, sometimes it helps to look and see an avatar and say "oh yeah, the guy with the baby keeps 3betting me light." Ideally, you have a note about it or you just remember it, but it doesn't hurt to have some extra memory cues imo.
