do any of you or have any of you used a thing called "Overwolf" ? i've been seeing a ton of ads on youtube of that and league of legends, and around the time i started seeing all these ads, people have been getting banned for "3rd party softwares" left and right
Any third party program is “use at your own risk”.
The rule of thumb is if it provides any information or ability in game that you wouldn’t normally have, it’s not allowed. As an example, an overlay to time jungle camps on the minimal would likely be prohibited, but an overlay that shows who you’re talking to on a third party voice communication app wouldn’t be.
When in doubt, it’s best to just not use it, as if it interferes with the client at all and is detected, it may result in a ban.
All the things in common that i've seen with the third party software bans is an account hack. Somebody played the games on someone else's account and got them banned.
Overwolf is not a program that Riot will ban you for. In-fact it has many helper programs, overlays, and assistance plugins that Riot actually supports. Some of which made by pro teams themselves for use on overwolf.
