I was wondering if editing the game.cfg file was violating the terms of service at all? I have seen posts where riot employees don't care but i'm just making sure that I will not get banned if I tamper with the settings in this file.
Thanks!
Deep Terror Nami2 votesIt depends on what you're doing. Technically any modification is bannable, but they don't mind things that don't give you an unfair advantage like changing a hotkey that the in-game options doesn't accept. If you're in doubt I'd recommend submitting a ticket.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesif they do a sweep looking for altered files you can get banned for 3rd party software , google terms of service and it s laid out in writing
any altering of the client files can be subjected to being banned
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 voteslol children downvoting for providing truth and telling you to look at TOS to see for yourself
jsum39951 votesWell after reading these replies I changed it back to the original settings I had. I did not know it was against the rules I hope I'm not in hot water.

They said yes, although Modifying a .CFG File should never be a ban worthy offense from any game because its able to be opened with a note-pad, and requires no third party hacks or cheats to access or edit it but rather CFG Files are made to be changed from inside the game to outside its a simple game settings file.
Although if its illegal to modify the CFG Files as Riot says playing on a resolution because Riot doesn't support older or newer 40 inch television resolutions for example, then Riot should make it so it can no longer be opened with note-pad or word document but its rather encrypted like most games are...
Honestly editing the CFG File really provides no advantage at all but if edited for resolution it can show a bit a more than what it should distance.
jsum39951 votesWhat if I changed the file then changed it back after gaining this knowledge lol.

if you're using it for something like making chat invsible. youre fine. if you are using to to do something like be able to see the entire map without zooming. thats when its bannable
jsum39951 votesI was using it in custom games for resolution changes. I didn't know it was bannable until I asked on this thread. I never used it against anyone for my own personal gain. I changed the resolution settings back to my regular settings.

Super resolution to see the entire map while playing can be considered cheating
jsum39951 voteslike I said I didnt know thats why I came here asking. I have already changed my settings back to normal.
Deep Terror Nami1 votesIt would help if you told us what you are trying to do.
jsum39951 votesI was playing around with resolutions in customs games by myself just to see what it looked like, never played an actual game with it though. I switched it back to my normal resolutions for my computer.

IketheSlug1 votesI wanted to ask the same question, I just ended up putting in keybinds for simple chat commands like /joke and /dance, in addition, I also set the turret range indicators to "1" (True), do those count as bannable offenses? Also changed the text visibility and also configured it for Mac OS.
HalcyonDweller1 votesTurret range indicators might be considered an unfair advantage.
Chat commands are fine though.
