I know the answer. yes. but are they ban worthy? using a macro that opens up my shop automatically when i recall? (macro: B delay 8.2 seconds, P)

I'd say yes and recommend against doing that since it's automatically doing something for you, which Riot really doesn't want. I could be wrong, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Does bring up a question though. Why? You can press P long before your recall finishes to open the shop. Why do you need a macro to do that for you?

Its an example, I have set up a set of razor macros to help me with utilities that i can't find in Ritos settings. Kind of too scared to use them but don't want to waste all my effort and hardwork, since each macro took me around half an hour of testing and timing.

Each button press should only accomplish one action.

Anything more than that can trigger a permanent ban.

what about cosmetics?

I'm uncertain what you mean by cosmetics.

If you're talking about flashing mastery when you ult or something, that's fine. Or saying something in /all would be fine too (unless it was spammed too much, like a Karthus Q. Anything said THAT much will earn a punishment, no matter what you're saying.)

i have macros and keybindings set to my mouse so when i press the button it drinks a potion

Imperial PandaaApr 6, 20181 votes

If all it does is drink 1 potion, for 1 press then that is okay.

Technically that would be a Keybinding not a macro. A macro is a set of automated actions.

Actually... the answer would be depends. Awhile back, someone asked about using a macro to add a chat taunt with an ult. Not only did a Rioter comment that it was ok, he thought it was funny.

There is a difference though. It is only using 1 ability in addition to typing in chat. But should that person try a complex one, like Lee q ult flash while going "Hiku!", then it becomes a problem because it used at least 3 ability presses.

Which is why I said it depends. I don't know about binding the shop to recall but, like another poster said, what's the point of that specific macro?

I know that is why you said it. I was just trying to build off it and further explain. Sorry for the mix up.

Fair enough. Work's been increasingly rough lately, so I might be a little more reactive than usual.

Most games typically frown on macros because they can give an unfair advantage. I'll give an example.

In Guild Wars 2, I would go to a private pvp server that my guild hosted. Putting on a macro to hopefully move out of the safety area and use abilities. The point of it was so people could kill this character for daily challenges.

Even though my account was just there to die, it would still get benefits of exp for completing the match. Which of course leads to rewards that can be sold or broken into materials.

pretty sure you are not allowed to use macros

according to the ToS or ToA, riot can decide to ban on ANY 3rthd party program used, anytime they want, its best not to use 3rthd party programs riot can change their mind and you can get banned, there is always a risk.
