GoodNate··1 votes·730 views

I don't want to take any chances at all and just would like to know from someone from riot if its ok to use Over wolf? http://www.overwolf.com/index.html

I also just read this article = http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/GD/ao7rYcrT-riot-i-hope-youre-not-okay-with-this?show=flat&page=2 That was posted 2 years ago and would just like to make sure that Riot is still ok with this and has not changed their opinion on the program.

They've partnered with Riot to have an API Challenge using both the Overwolf API and the Riot API, they're fine.

WHat does Overwolf do? I know they just recently said they're not bringing forward item set creator in client because you can just use ... some third party program. i feel like it started with an O. That being said, I AM STILL SO SCARED to use even programs they say you can use.

the only program you are certified to use without problems is the league client. Other than that they stated is a "at-your-own-risk". Things like custom skins are some "allowed" and some forbidden but they won't comment which custom skins are.

Agreed, but in the post where they first mention they are not bringing the item set creator forward, they mention that we have access to a certain tool. Which seems like a huge risk imo. Like... RIOT themselves said 'use this 3rd party tool'. I forget what it is though.

EDIT: Found it here.

Well, you can still customize them using third party tools like Championify—we just don't have any plans to implement the item set builder feature from the old client. If it turns out that there actually is real demand for that tool, we can reconsider it, of course. But on our great big list of client priorities (implement Replays, spectate, etc.), it would probably fall dead last right now. Just wanted to give y'all an honest heads up.

EDIT EDIT: I mean I'd be ok with the $\Riot Games\League of Legends\Config\ItemSets.json file being respected in the client. I can edit JSON files myself. I mean if the Alpha read that and used it in game. That'd be great. AS IS, my old item sets are carried over. NO CHANGES from the old client are brought over even.

Its okay to use, I see the pros who stream use it all the time.
