I have just a quick question just to make sure I don't get banned for something as dumb as this. I just have a simple, straight forward question, Will I get banned for using a custom hud overlay as shown in the picture above?
Realistically? No, they likely won't ban you for something that doesn't alter the gameplay or give you any advantage over your opponents.
Can they? Sure, technically it's modifying the client's files and against the ToS/EULA that we all agree to every time they update the game as well as when we signed up. It's their game and they're able to make the rules as they see fit, however they would much prefer you stick around and continue to play their game and/or spend money to enjoy yourself. The only problem they really have is if somebody is swapping around THEIR skins for the base models, thereby bypassing the system in place since someone put time (and Riot paid them real money) to make the skin.
I've been using custom skins for years and occasionally swap the UI's around (things like the Frost UI and Challenger UI that I'm sure you're able to find on the site that you found that one). Just make sure that it doesn't alter the way things are seen in the game (like changing positions of the target frame or making debuffs more visible - Riot if you're listening I would love to be able to move my target frame to somewhere not at the corner of my screen). It's an incredibly minor modification, and as long as the game's integrity isn't compromised there isn't really a reason for them to seek you out when there's much more pressing matters like ACTUAL cheaters (scripters, botters, etc.) that are ruining the game for others when you're a person looking to make your UI a little more immersive and continue playing as an honorable summoner.
Make sure you're not using programs that aren't already flagged as bannable as well as not using things like "zoom modifications" that would give you an unfair advantage. I'd recommend testing out any and all changes you do in a Custom Game/Practice Tool before hand to be able to ensure that nothing is changed in a drastic way as well as doesn't bug out! It's frustrating to queue up for a game while using your sweet Star Guardian Urgot skin (Rito pls, we need this) only to find out that you can't see the particles for when your E hit a target and you're scratching your head every time as to if it was accurate or not.
If they actually have a problem with it and it's not giving you an unfair advantage, they'll likely send you an e-mail to give you a "heads up" to remove it before any future problems happen.
Hope this helps, best of luck to you!
i dont see a problem tyler1 used a hud allot of pros use huds
It depends on what you use. As long as all it does is add a skin or overlay that only appears on your screen, it's fine. As soon as your program starts interacting with the client, you risk 3rd party violations (i.e. Jungle timers--especially for monsters you don't have vision on) . And these can cause a trigger even if you don't actively use those features.
Some of these programs also have viruses or malware that can trigger the detection systems or compromise your account, allowing people who do you illegal programs access and get you banned that way.
Oh man, I do love me some custom HUDs in gaming.
So long as it's just a HUD you should be fine, if it uses a program that offers other features though I'd avoid it, they can't really tell what features you're using with some of them but they know what features are included so they can't just go by your word that you weren't cheating somehow.
that hud is a completely unfair advantage.
pretty much no, as it falls under the same category as custom skins.
riots stance on custom skins in a nutshell:
"we don't care if you use them, but if you find a way to make things problematic with them, we will go after you."
As long as the modifications don't give you an advantage then no. You're perfectly fine ^^
What.......... yes e__e
