I would really like to download custom skins, so I checked out if they were bannable or not and only found like 3 year old threads and mixed opinions. Have their TOS changed? If I download Wooxy and install a custom skin made by someone else to play in my games, is that a bannable offence?
The rule of thumb with custom skins:
Other than that, it's kinda up to you. Last I heard the custom skin community was complaining that Riot's security changes made it harder (if not impossible) to use custom skins.
Technically Riot needs no reason to ban you, as per the ToS. So there's no reason to tread the line.
My advice is don't do it. Just use one of riot's skins. I did that once or twice like 6 years back but it's not even worth it.
For now, custom models and artwork sit firmly in the “use-at-your-own-risk” category, but we’re keeping an eye on them. We can’t optimize for assets we don’t develop, and if they do become a concern for any reason in the future (ie. they provide measurable player advantage), we’ll take action based on the stance we just laid out.
Gray areas aside, there are definitely applications which are just not okay, and while the number of players in this space are very low (think a fraction of a percentage), we remain vigilant and hand out punishments to those who show patterns of consistent abuse.
We reserve the right to take action against applications that allow the use of our assets for free (often referred to as skin hacks).

If you really want to, open a ticket first and talk to a rioter about it and if you're still not sure, at least don't play on your main while doing it. Just in case.
