Is binding a macro to like ping mastery when you use an ability bannable? i probably wont use it I'm just curious for if i'm playing customs with friends and stuff i'm not sure if it counts as scripting or not. I would like anyone's opinions or knowledge if you have it thanks for the assist.

I think you're asking in the wrong boards

If it doesn't give you a gameplay advantage, it's fine.

If your purpose is to throw out the skill and stop people from seeing it with your mastery flash, you are in trouble. Even if you have no idea that it blocks their vision, you are in trouble.

So don’t know for sure on that one.

Generally the two class of macros are gameplay and chat based.

Gameplay macros are where you have it set where a combo of moves are executed with a single key press. Those are always 100% banned.

Chat based ones, where you press a key and a text message types out at once for you, those are usually fine, provided you don’t spam them (there is however, still no guarantee that there are no problems. These types of things are all “use at your own risk”)

I’m not entirely sure where “mastery emote on ability press” would fall under. A general rule of thumb is if you can do it all just through the regular keybinds in the options menus, it should be fine (like setting the warded ping to like fn + a number, then binding that to a single key through a keyboard utility)

I would avoid any macro that combines multiple key presses. We're unlikely to get a hard-and-fast ruling from Riot on precisely what is and isn't allowed, and I always recommend the "better safe than sorry" approach when it comes to keeping your account.

If you are talking about making it so when you press Q on like Nasus then you flash your mastery then I think that is not bannable. But You should still ask Riot if that is allowed.

The only “problem” would be that somebody gets triggered because of all the BMing that you are doing when you press the ability and your mastery flashes.

I kinda want to try do some small coding and make it so when I die then my mastery will flash. If you're looking for a way to make it easier to flash your master then I think there is also a way to bind mastery emote to your emote wheel.

If you do find out if binding mastery flash to an ability is bannable or not, can you DM me on Discord @ 808-StacksusStrike#4389 Through there I can send you the link for the reddit post on how to set champion mastery emote to abilities.

I spent a while with my mastery flashing when i ulted (added through changing my persistant settings rather than a macro, following a guide on the lol subreddit). Never had anything happen, stopped when I went back to playing anivia a lot and started hating myself for waveclearing.........

Technically macros are not allowed because they give you an unfair advantage. This one obviously would not but I don't personally think it's worth messing with their automated system just to be able to flash your mastery when you use an ability.
