Custom cursor option

So I have recently asked the riot support about whether they could add a custom cursor option into the game (exact message can seen below), but they told me to post it here, since they can't talk to the dev team. So my request to you all, if you want this in League of legends, would be to try to gather as many upvotes here as possible, so that the Riot employees will see this.

If you are a Riot employee, don't hesitate to give us details whether this would be possible or not. :)

Hi, for the past few years I have been using a custom cursor for League of Legends (this one: https://imgur.com/6EDmMjK ) mainly because I've always found the default one blending a bit too much in the game's original colors and the pixel perfect location of the pointer is also not clear at first glance.

I've heard so that this season the skin files will eventually be replaced and that the new ones will not be editable (and even now it is a hassle to deal with since I have to reapply it every patch :( ), and I would like you to provide me an opportunity to use a cursor of my preference, or an option, that a many other games already support, to use the hardware mouse (the one that shows on the desktop) instead the game's software one. Let's face it, this is probably the oldest skin element in League of Legends today(aside from Nunu's feet).

Please consider implementing something like this into the game, it would make a lot of players' life easier. Thanks in advance!

Wow, that's actually quite cool. I've never found a problem with the cursor myself, but if this helps you then I don't see why it shouldn't be an option. Upvoted :)

Well...I have to say 2 things about this.

  1. Your idea is really cool, i've been waiting for a while for a new ingame cursor, the current one is cringy and difficult to work with if you have a high scrolling sensitivity like I do, but I cant play with low sensitivity at all so thats a problem for me.

  2. If I do recall correctly, there were previous posts asking about using custom designs for cursors before, and as far as I know, until it is enabled for everyone it is pretty much forbidden because creating Custom Cursors for better navigation means you get to do something nobody else does, and hence create an advantage through programming it, which would be flagged under cheating with 3rd party programs. Reason I say this is because if I read correctly, you've been using one for a while now, and I wanted to warn you beforehand that it's not allowed until a global OK is given >_>

Well, I appreciate your concern, however I directly told this to riot support and they didn't seem to have a problem with it. I don't think it is any different from custom skins either.

Eh, I don't think it would be a bad thing to add to league, but I would rather them work on other things.

It would be cool if they had choose-able champion cursors, like lux's wand or zoe's key or something like that.

This needs implementing, as well as full UI support for 4k monitors.

It is absolutely ridiculous that anyone needs to use 3rd party applications just to get their game to work on a modern piece of hardware.

LOL
