i was thinking daft punk or something or a unicorn mask but that might get hot..... i dont want people to see my face because i dont want people to think i got to pro because of my looks/gender i want them to see me go pro for my skills

lol...? How would looks or gender make it possible for you to go pro? No pro team is going to pick up some skinny chick with big boobs that cant play LoL for shit. It just wouldn't happen. And if you are good at the game, nobody in the history of league has said "No fair you're only good at this game because you're a girl/boy/transsexual/furry." Sounds to me like you're making an issue out of nothing. Also, there probably are regulations about pro players concealing their face.

i just asked if concealing my face would be against regulations and actually there are regulations against transsexuals http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/02/league-of-legends-e-sports-organizer-puts-limits-on-lgtbq-participants/ also what made me think that there are certain advantages/disadvantages you are creating a problem from a simple question

According to the rules, you have to have a working camera for your monitor if you're doing pro play. No, you're not permitted to waddle around in a burka when doing pro play on stage. Price of fame and all that.

thats what i was thinking actually since i think most pro players/caster are celebrities and i think that is why they wanted to go pro i want to be pro based on my skill sets and not by my appearances and also why i asked if my face/gender would have to be shown... i was afraid that would be the reason haha ty btw

I'm not sure if anyone has ever come up in LoL due to their appearance. If that was the case, there would be tons of beautiful women playing league, but no fat boys, or kids with acne problems. Yes, you may have more fans because your a hot dude or pretty chick, but if you're good, don't let good looks hold you back. Trust me, I know this problem with darn good looks ;) Haha.

Nothing against you using makeup. Faker, Bjergsen, Nukeduck all got belted by the marauding pimple fairy, and use makeup to help mitigate what they have, or grow facial hair to help hide it.

Sounds like you're worrying more about your looks, than how you'll do in the game. But the rules plainly state, no face concealment is permitted.

https://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/lolesports/Rule%20Sets/2015_LCS_Rule_Set_2.01.pdf

Rule 10.1.8 states:

"Identity. A player may not cover his or her face or attempt to conceal his or her identity from LCS officials. LCS officials must be able to distinguish the identity of each player at all times and may instruct players to remove any material that inhibits the identification of players or is a distraction to other players or LCS officials. For this reason, any hat with a brim must be worn backwards such that the brim does not interfere with the line of the sight of any camera."

Also, Remalia still had to have a camera on her monitor, and functioning on her, as well as cameras viewing the whole team. She was showed while Renegades were doing the finals of the challenger series, to determine if they were replace TDK. During the matches, not just before or after, but while it was going on.

thank you that was the answer i was looking for when i made this post thank you so much for answering :3 i had a feeling it was against the rules but i was really hoping it wasnt thank you again now i go back to the drawing board because i know going pro is a lifetime commitment and it is not to be taken lightly

You're of course welcome to your dream of being a pro league player, with hard-work and practice i'm sure you could get there eventually. Currently though and this is just from what I can see with match history you are a lightyear away from being on the level of pros.

well i have seen a lot of pro players live in with their team and i am unable to do that until i finish my degree so if i am to become a pro player i understand a job/education is just not possible to become a pro championship player i am doing my research to understand all the regulations and standards needed to become pro before making my final decision since it is a very life dedicating thing and it does take up a lot of time and money

I don't think you should hide your identity because of gender or beauty. That is too much. If you are good enough to go pro, then do it with pride in who you are as a person. You seem to be young since you are asking this question. Be who you are and don't back down because of things like gender or outer appearance.

Check out Remilia from Renegades. She chose not to have a personal player cam, but still participated in the games

Worry about going pro first, the camera issue isn't something you need to worry about unless you actually get to that point - and I don't imagine someone going 0/7/16 in a bot game is going to be turning pro anytime soon so I think you're pretty safe.

i noticed people have no friends playing suck a lot but i do have friends im just scared of death threats since thats what happened on my ranked account either people try to hack into my bank account or people wanted to swat me so i just wanted to feel safe first before i get a team together at least no bank hacks and no death threats if not then its not even worth it to go pro
