Is Lolwiz safe and allowed?

Plesi·Mar 6, 2017·1 votes·14,991 views

Hello!

I am interested in using a program called LoLwiz. It looks very useful and I could use the statistics about my games to improve my skills. However, upon downloading it, my Norton said that it was not safe and was removed. I am hesitant to use it. Does anyone have experience?

Also, they claim that Riot is okay with players using their programs, but I am not sure if the information they provided is no longer accurate. I am rather paranoid! I do not want to be considered a cheater.

Thanks!

Hey there!

Sophie from Overwolf here. LoLwiz or any Overwolf app will NOT get you banned.

We are working closely with Riot Games to ensure that all the apps we publish are aligned with their Terms of Service and their 3rd party policies. Our apps do nothing more than a second monitor would do for you and do not interact with League of Legends.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to chime in, since someone asked about our thoughts on this. LoLWiz, in it's current incarnation, is no different from visiting OP.GG or LolNexus or any other similar site. The only real difference is that it is displayed via an Overwolf Plugin, rather than a web page. It's powered by the Riot API, and no questionable access the game client, so as of right now we have no issues with using this app and will not frown upon players who do so.

That being said, we reserve the right to change our stance on this, if in the future the LoLWiz app adopts any functionality we find to be harmful to player's experience or the game's ecosystem. (Though if that happened we would first attempt reach out to LoLWiz and try to course correct things there, instead of banning players.) Also, naturally, we can never officially condone or promote the use of any third party tool, as we can never guarantee your game stability or safety in doing so.

TL;DR - It's not directly affecting the client, as it is a component of Overwolf and not a game-mod, so you won't be banned.

Beat me to it. i was going to link to this same post. As outlined above, it's legit to use Overwolf.

Overwolf and LoLwiz are trusted by pros like Cloud9, Team Liquid and Logitech Gaming.

Make sure at all time that you are using an Overwolf app by downloading it directly from our appstore available at http://store.overwolf.com/apps/

I only use LoLWiz when I'm playing ranked, but haven't looked into if you've developed anything for Overwatch/Hearthstone. Would love to have an app that lists all the cards in my deck and marks them off as I draw them.
