Should I stop swapping flash keys?

Hey, I was in-game, and a very tilted soraka top on the enemy team accused me of sharing accounts because I swapped which key flash was bound to a lot. Basically, I let the d key be my "panic" sum (so flash for a laner, smite for a jungler) and never thought a whole lot about it. However, I know that riot does look for that kind of thing when checking for account sharing. I assume that just doing this isn't enough to get myself suspended no-matter how many people report me, but just wanted to check and make sure. Should I just stick to one key just to be safe?

Thanks

I think as long as you're playing legitimately it doesn't matter what key your Flash is on. Riot has other ways to make sure people are account sharing.

there's no problem with swapping keys, just if you go from a 2KDA to perfect games every time you swap your keys riot will get very suspicious.

Here's the thing; while Summoner Spell Keybinds could be an indicator for account sharing, there has to be a discrepancy for it to actually be an indicator. Since you frequently swap your summoner spell placements, there's not really a discrepancy to count as one. One game you use Flash on F, another you use it on D, etc.

I wouldn't know why anyone would accuse you of sharing accounts, especially if they're on the enemy team. Usually I'd kind of expect something like accusations of boosting or something like that. (not to say that I accuse you of boosting, of course.)

Riot also checks the number of clicks and other key bindings, you should be good to go, and as long as you have info about your account you should be able to recover it without any issues if riot does think something is up.
