Are Custom Skins/Maps Against the EULA/ToS?

Just curious, I think they're pretty cool, and Brofresco used it recently in a video so I wanted to know before I downloaded any.

I haven't seen any Custom Maps, and I would think something that big has to change up files for the client. So that might be iffy. With skins Riot themselves said it was ok. Basically anything is ok as long as it's not manipulating the client and changing things up that could be helpful in a cheating way. Like if the skin had invisible particles, or changed your hitbox in some way would be against the TOS, but most I've seen only change it from your perspective and doesn't actually do anything in terms of changing up the files. So I would assume that is ok.

Or made units that were invisible to you appear as something else...

Ah, I don't think there is a custom skin like that! The closest I've seen is an Inori skin from Guilty Crown for Evelynn, and even then they just made the model capable of going stealth like normal Eve without any glitches. Anywho, thanks!

Map skins are purely cosmetic and are there to basically make the map more fancy. I have a custom map that literally changes nothing, but just makes SR look like it's nighttime. It's pretty :3 anyways thanks for the reply! I'm pretty sure as long as it doesn't negatively affect game play it should be fine, but wanted to see other people's opinions.
