i just found this cool ekko custom skin to the scout from tf2, i wanna use it in normals and maybe in ranked. but are custom skins allowed? i don't want to get banned. (not sure if this is the right board or what ever is this thingy called)
Technically modifying the game isn't allowed and a custom skin is modifying the game. I am however completely unaware of any time that anyone has been banned for using a custom skin, even highly popular streamers use custom skins now and again, and to my knowledge they've never seen so much as a warning.
Yes and No. Riot doesn't like you to mod the game at all. But as long as it doesn't affect the other players, they usually don't mind. But, it is still a bannable offense.
I think Riot's policy is that
Riot does not ban for normal custom skins.
No one can seem them but you. In fact, it's entirely shown within your client and the server is completely obvious to it. So I doubt they could even tell who is using them in any way they currently have available. So I doubt you'd need to worry about getting in trouble for using them. But keep in mind that it may mess up your game with each patch in a way that can be gotten around, but it'll be extra effort on your part to keep the custom skins working each patch.
