I've seen multiple people here talk about lucky patcher and wanted to try it out, found the official site though reddit (cos I've had google give me badware links for things like these before) and the site rang every alarm bell in my brain.
From the too-good-to-be-true premise to the red text before the download saying that the app is Perfectly Safe, scanned the apk with virustotal (not perfectly accurate i know) and it returned a bunch of flags.

So is luckypatchers.com the actual site?

Edit: got the apk from the direct download link in the subreddit's about page and ran it on waydroid, seemed legit but also very old and the custom patches would just make the app (YouTube in this case) close instantly.
Might be some google service detecting something's off or maybe the patch is just outdated.

Lucky Patcher is interesting but much like rooting my phone, I found it disappointing in that it didn't bring much that I really wanted to do on a phone.

If you want to hack games, just use cracked stores like happymod.

Edit: With HappyMod you are risking the potential for malware as some people have mentioned. Do your research before trusting an internet stranger.
