I have a full customizable mouse (roccat kova) and i wanted to create my makros for it like "enter - m y l a n e r n o r - enter". is it bannable?

I suspect it could be since your mouse uses 3rd party software to create macro's, and 3rd party software is against the ToS, though you're just typing, so not sure. I'd say play it safe and just don't. Not exactly sure why you'd want to anyways. Typing "ahri f" or "annie ult" etc doesn't take a monumental amount of effort, and people will still know what you meant. No need to have a sentence typed out.

It's very unlikely that you could be banned for using macros. However, if you use macros too quickly in lobby the client my disable your chat for a few seconds. Even if it was, it would be fairly difficult to detect, as macros are just seen as input in the client. As I have used them in the past for things like Alistar EQ combo, and have seen no repercussions, I would say that it is safe (Unless you use macros to spam).

Typing Macros are fine, as long as you aren't spamming them. Riot can detect the difference between someone saying "laner mia" and a single keypress doing a whole combo.

Extra macro clarification: rebinding keys to, for instance, you mouse, is perfectly fine.

As far as I have seen, the rules about macros have never been directly commented on, and as a result, is very vague. The only rule about macros that I am 100% certain on is that they are banned in the pro-scene/tournaments.
