Is programming an autododger allowed?

The system currently works in a way where you get 1 "free" queue dodge a day (you lose 3LP) as long as you're not in your promo.

I was just wondering, if it was allowed to program a dodger that detects players from my horrible people data base and dodges accordingly, sparing me from the suffering that comes from this really OP feed + AFK combo.

I also think a lot of people would use this tool, which indicates that the system needs to be changed.

I would make it that it signals you if you should dodge or not, then it's 100% safe if it doesn't affect the client at all.

This is almost certainly not allowed. From the terms of use:

Using any unauthorized third party programs, including mods, hacks, cheats, scripts, bots, trainers and automation programs that interact with the Software in any way, for any purpose, including any unauthorized third party programs that intercept, emulate, or redirect any communication between the Software and Riot Games and any unauthorized third party programs that collect information about the Game by reading areas of memory used by the Software to store information;

Honestly, this is the kind of question that should be posted on the Riot Games API Discord.

My personal hunch is that where you'd run into issues is auto dodging, as oppose to signaling "you might want to dodge" and saying why.

Probably not the main point of your post, but "system needs to be changed" to what exactly? How would your tool indicate an issue with the system? That feeder and afker shouldn't be able to get into YOUR game? Rito already implement a dodge function to give you a way out if you don't want to play that game and you already said it, the first one is more or less "free" (unless promo).


I play normal or ranked with a 50% win rate mind set. I almost never op.gg any of my team mate in pre-game whether it's normal, ranked, my placement, or my promo. The only reason I've ever dodged is because someone ban someone's pick and the flame started or I smell a troll or I don't "feel" like it will be a good game. I'd rather not deal with that. As long as my games are not toxic flame war, I'm willing to play with the good, the bad, and the ugly. Just another loss on my 50% win/loss. No big deal.

Whether your program is allowed or not would be something you need to ask Rito directly (no Rito on this board) rather than get the opinions of regular players like you here. This is something that can potentially get you banned so better get at least an evidence direct from a Rito employee to prove that you got the okay for the specifications you planned to use.

You could just copy+paste the 5 lines into your program. To close the client just use taskkill, of course you'd first need the PID of the LOL client. As long as you do it "from the outside" with taskkill it should be all right I think.

I would not risk it. Any thing that interacts with the client could be flagged and get you banned.

What I want them to do is to create a free dodge program thing if someone bans a champion an ally hovers. Someone bans, someone elses champ on purpose or accident that player just threatens to troll or actually does so. I want no part in this game already but in ranked promos can't lose the game. If its not you know im dodging and losing that 3 lp.

So you want to query the League of legends API and exit the client if one of your team mates has bad stats on a champion he picked? Depends on how you find out what champion they picked I would say. Scanning the client's memory would definitely tick off the anti cheat from Riot, detecting the client and visually scanning for the players picks icons and comparing them to an external database with champion portraits should be all right. Honestly you could just manually use op.gg and save you the hassle of accidentally getting fucked over by Riot's anti cheat, you can just copy+paste the 5 chat lines at the beginning of the champ select >these 5< into op.gg and get a quick over view of all 5 players this way.

Is it allowed? Yes.

Would I use it? No.

I queue up to play the game, not to dodge games and not be able to play.

"One blacklisted player on enemy team."

Just as a memory enhancement device it would be fine. But I would avoid auto-dodge interactions with the client.
