Is it illegal to play with multiple accounts at the same time?

I was just wondering. I have some virtual machines and I was thinking of playing bot games with a team of me.

edit: the only problem i see atm is i am getting ip and xp for all of the accounts.

edit 10/14 : I am going to do it if my account gets harmed then so be it too bored XD

I have no idea how you'd pull that off. Because I'd need to have all champions controlled at once with the same set of controls.

Best I could do is controlling 2 champions with 2 gaming mice, but that would still be a lot of effort.

However, in regards to actually being allowed, I think it's fine as long as none of those champions have their gameplay automated.

It depends. Are you doing it for fun/to test bugs/interactions/builds? Or are you so ng it to quickly and efficiently farm multiple accounts up to level 30 worth a bunch of IP? The first is probably fine, if sketchy. The second will definitely result in you losing the accounts.

I wouldn't. A team of me sounds like you'd be running scripts for them basically and that sounds very much against the ToS. It seems too much a risk

I am so glad this was an interesting enough topic to get the community excited. Thanks for all the responses! I sincerely hope a rioter can answer my question, because now I would be completely stupid to do it if it was against the rules. If i dont here from a rioter I guess i will leave it at just fantasy or just do a practice game where no Ip, xp, or other players can be effected.

If people are also interested in a rioters response. up vote the thread. who know maybe i got riot stumped and they are in a tizzy about what to do right now :P

If people are interested in a video of how to set up multiple instances of lol on your own computer I will if it is okay with riot.

I feel the most likely case is that it is not currently technically against anything, but you would get politely asked to stop.

If you didn't, Riot would then probably update the ToS to make it against it.

Afaik you need to have at least 3 humans per team to gain XP, I hope your computer is good enough to sustain 5 VM :P But seriously I wouldn't try it unless you get a confirmation by Riot.

I think Riot might be against that. Maybe not for playing with yourself at the same time, but because they are super against people changing things in their game. This would include your virtual machines, I assume.

1: ... If you could somehow get that to work, I'd be more surprised than anything

2: Knowingly they Would have some sort of problem, But probably not as much as just having a 5 man team on a lan party type thing.

It might be against the ToS, but most certainly not illegal.
