Overwolf is a 3rd party program and using it was always at a "your own risk" kind of situation. At anytime the overwolf team could have taken it a step to far and added an illigal function without your knowledge, and guess what? It would be your fault because you were using it "At your own risk"

Regardless if Riot said you were cheating then you probably were. This is why you dont use lol programs outside of the client.

i have had overwolf for more the a month and put rp in to my act like every week more or less. so if it\s a ilegal program why did they not ban my befor i added rp. i find the ban unjust and would like a real riot employee to look in to it.

Hey Guys,

Using Overwolf is completely fine, and is not an illegal program and you can not get banned for using.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to chime in, since someone asked about our thoughts on this. LoLWiz, in it's current incarnation, is no different from visiting OP.GG or LolNexus or any other similar site. The only real difference is that it is displayed via an Overwolf Plugin, rather than a web page. It's powered by the Riot API, and no questionable access the game client, so as of right now we have no issues with using this app and will not frown upon players who do so. That being said, we reserve the right to change our stance on this, if in the future the LoLWiz app adopts any functionality we find to be harmful to player's experience or the game's ecosystem. (Though if that happened we would first attempt reach out to LoLWiz and try to course correct things there, instead of banning players.) Also, naturally, we can never officially condone or promote the use of any third party tool, as we can never guarantee your game stability or safety in doing so. TL;DR - It's not directly affecting the client, as it is a component of Overwolf and not a game-mod, so you won't be banned.
