I see a lot of 3rd party bans lately. Can Riot provide a 3rd party whitelist for us?

I use overwolf, and I'm pretty sure it was okay'd, but I just want to be sure.


Aside from that, wouldn't it be good to have an updated whitelist the community can follow so there's no excuse for accidentally using unauthorized 3rd party applications?

There is no whitelist because it couldn't possibly cover every available application, and it can change at any time due to the developers changing something or it becoming compromised and Riot can't constantly monitor and approve them.

Instead, there are guidelines which the players should use their best judgement with; http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/5dmkJinG-3rd-party-applicationsmodifications-whats-allowed-and-what-isnt

Well the only thing I use is Curse. Pretty positive it was endorsed by Riot. Also all my friends use Curse. None of them have been banned. I honestly, don't use anything else. Pretty sure it's a glitch and I sincerely hope that riot is working to rectify the issue. Had a ticket in since yesterday, haven't heard a peep from them. No counter play?

I am in the exact same boat, they seriously need to at least acknowledge that something went wrong, Curse is supposed to be allowed.

It's not Curse (as you guessed by your friends not being banned). Riot actually has Curse installed on a lot of the computers at their office, so if it was just Curse there'd be a lot of Rioters banned as well.

The big thing is to find out what's different with your account than your friends that didn't get banned. Some people have their accounts compromised without them knowing (happened to a friend of mine recently) and those hackers can be the ones using the scripts. A few of the people I've talked to who were banned had macros on their computers that they used with other games, which might be a cause too.

One thing you know for certain though, it's not common software (voice chat, recording, streaming software, etc) that got you banned.

I don't have anything else, steam and a few other games (no mods on any of them). I play on my account daily, it hasn't been compromised. I'm at a loss for what could have triggered this other than something dumb like Avira, my corsair utilities (keyboard with custom lighting, no macros, and my mouse also with custom lighting and a few buttons hotkeyed) , my isp doing something strange, or perhaps a piece of malware I picked up somewhere. My computer seems pretty clean of malware/viruses and I have pretty standard software.

Whitelist for 3rd party programs that give u an advantage in game, that's asking for a whitelist on what I can cheat with. even simple voice chat if it gives an advantage over other players is cheating. Quit trying to cheat or I hope you get permabanned

Who said I wanted a whitelist for 3rd party programs that gave an advantage in-game? Nice assumption.

Nobody here's trying to cheat.

Also, voice chat isn't cheating. Riot has stated this.
