Is there any add-ons like a hud that shows enemy teams health and stuff and is riot ok with them or would you get banned for use of any add-ons. Lots of other online games have things you can download that dont effect gameplay just for lack of better term vision. If there was a download that popped enemy health up in left corner I would think that would be useful, but I dont know if its even aloud if there were. If anyone knows of any useful addon tools please share. If a site offical who knows riots policies could post here and let us know if any are allowed or if its all bannable and never to use them please also let us know. Im not trying to cheat, I just want to know if the guy im playing on the other side of has some useful tool thats aloud by riot. Mostly looking to see if riot cares about these sort of things and allows them or not. I can do the footwork and search for such addons but first I want to know if we will get into trouble, nothing is worth getting banned so anyone who knows about this subject please let me know.

It's a bannable offense to use third party programs.

They probably wouldn't be cool with the enemy health being seen thing. Part of going into fog of war is to hide your stats from the enemy. For example, I play Karthus quite a bit. Honestly, mostly just because I love raking in that gold off my ult. The only problem I have with Karthus is that I can't see the enemies in the fog to know if they are within ult kill range. More so than that, I've lost many a kill based on the fact that after they entered the fog they put up a barrier or got a heal or something happened to alter the fact that my ult should have killed them. If I were able to see every enemies health then I'd know when to blast it off every time. Not to mention every single time the jungler was low in the jungle I'd end up with his buffs because I could just ult from anywhere and he would be mine. For that matter, seeing enemy health would allow anyone on my team to be aware that the enemy jun is low and to go hunt him down for his buffs. As far as the health for those outside the fog, honestly if you watch the map enough and pay attention to your teammates health bars (information that is provided for you) you can usually tell if the enemy is lower or higher health wise based on how their symbols are dancing on the minimap. In a nutshell, I probably wouldn't take my chances on an add-on unless a riot official has specifically said it's ok because even if it doesn't change the gameplay for you the odds are pretty good that it will affect the gameplay of one of the other 127 champs you aren't playing. That being said, I don't actually know their policy specifics other than bans happen way easier if you're running an unapproved third party program.

That would be bannable since it provides an unfair advantage.

For example, if I know that the enemy jungler is too low to gank, I can play more aggressively without the risk of getting punished even if I shouldn't have access to that information.

Alternatively, I see that an enemy champion is low while I'm playing Karthus when I shouldn't have that knowledge, giving me an easy kill through my ultimate.

unfortunately no, just gotta learn to memorize ult / summoner spell cooldowns. riot said anything that gives you an unfair advantage over other players is bannable.

basically anything is allowed as long it doesn't give you a upper hand on your enemys

@topic Check out the program "Overwolf" and the league of legends apps for it. Lolwiz is a pretty damn useful tool.

But things like enemy HP bars, even if it were possible, are totally cheating.
