MK LOL is bannable confirmed.

Steel Cold Soul··3 votes·4,802 views

Hey, quick note, if you work for Riot, and are just going to comment to defend Riot, please don't. Im just letting people know MK LOL is a bannable program. Comments are just for those who have something to say, usually a rebuking of my criticisms.


As foretold by RIOT EMPLOYEE Corduroy Ninja from RIOT Games Support,

I have been banned for a week for using MK LOL, a program which lets you use skins, but only you can see them. Including skins that are off the martket PERMANENTLY. No word on whether skin installer ultimate is not okay. most forums ive read say MK LOL and skin installer ultimate are okay. even riot employees have said this, and yet, here I am banned.

I could also mention how previously i had spent over 80 dollars on this game and that's enough i think for me to have access to skins, but regardless visual updates do not help the player. just makes the game look nicer, maybe without such mods some people would not want to play the game at all. But regardless of how when a company treats you badly you stop buying from them, and how having a game rated 12+ and expecting the constant maturity of a 65 year old politician is unreasonable. If you disagree and think it fair to say a 12 year old should act like an adult then you'd also have to say they have adult privileges. You'd have to say you think the age of consent, drinking age, and smoking age, and things of that nature should be 12. because otherwise your argument is hypocritical. Not an argument I'd ever support. But Riot, with such rules that are strict and unreasonable in my opinion,....

is part of the reason major LoL promoters like videogamedunkey have stopped playing.

But alas, this is my two cents, and im just telling you , confirmed,** MK LoL can get you banned.**

Maybe if you never use the messaging system or anything and always sign out when not playing, you'll get away with it. But if you really wanna play the game that bad and care that much to play a game hen I advise you don't use any skin programs.

MK LOL gives you no advantage. it shows camp spawn times but only camps that you see and that are your teams. which the game already does if you press O.

the only thing it allows you to do the game doesn't is have saved messages you can send by just pressing a number in chat.

No word on whether skin installer ultimate is not okay. most forums ive read say MK LOL and skin installer ultimate are okay. even riot employees have said this, and yet, here I am banned. played the beta and season 1 and 2 and came back. this is how I'm treated.

I've never seen a Rioter claim MKlol/jogo were ok, rather, the opposite. If an app has any feature which is illegal, the entire program is off limits whether you use that particular feature or just the skin changer.

I don't know what "skin installer ultimate" has, but if it's only for skins then it's probably ok. All 3rd party applications are "use at your own risk" though.

A Riot Employee responded to me, and said any visual mods were bannable. this includes any visual champion changes or map changes.

Corduroy Ninja is the employee who told me this

That's the "use at your own risk" part. They aren't banning people for skin changers, but any particular program can change and become illegal (or harbor malicious programming) at any time.

There's probably some good information for you in the link if you haven't looked.

Can you give a direct quote please? Because as I interpret it, this directly contradicts the link Deep Terror Nami just posted

For now, custom models and artwork sit firmly in a “use-at-your-own-risk” category, but we’re keeping an eye on them.

And another one more directly about MKLoL:

So mk lol just to have the skins is accepted ?

I'm afraid not. If any tool out there has features that violate the policies, it's not allowed to use even if you turn some of those features off and use others that are technically okay. At the end of the day, use of a policy violating program is prohibited regardless of which feature subset you use.

MK LOL uses nothing but what is already in the game. the only exception, is you can send pre written messages. which may save you time. but no player needs to really send messages. its optional. it just saves time.

Deep Terror Nami5 votes

I don't know exactly what it has that is bannable (I think timers), but it doesn't matter. It is, so don't use it. There is no reason to attempt justifying its use.

they were okay... for some reason they arent anymore

TrulyBland2 votes

Actually, MKLoL in particular was not okay for quite a while. In the reminder about third party applications there's a comment from 5 months ago where a Rioter says pretty clearly that it's not.

Steel Cold Soul1 votes

the fact you can just manually install every skin you like in game is no different than using MK LOL. so why would doing what im saying instead be ok. but it is. its the same. MK LOL provides nothing that is not already in game. the only exception is pre written messages to save time. and messages are optional for anyone anyways.

TrulyBland5 votes

They are optional to use, but they are included in the program itself.

Again:

They don't care which features you have enabled. If the program has features that are not allowed, the whole program is not allowed.

Again: there is nothing in MK LOL that is not already in the game. It in no way helps you cheat. there's another way to have pre written message with no program. its called copy paste. courtesy of windows.

TrulyBland2 votes

It's called macros (unless you literally have to select the message, press ctrl c and ctrl v in chat to actually write the message), and while having a rather low impact it still violates Riot's rules, which they have communicated very clearly, and in case of MKLoL even specifically referring to that exact program.

I'm sorry, but not knowing about rules doesn't exempt you from them. Not even when you were apparently being misinformed by other players on the forums. (For the record: I've never seen a single redpost that claimed MKLoL was fine. Only posts stating the exact opposite)

Steel Cold Soul1 votes

if they are that strict then RIot is nazis. and you are a nazi supporter if you support that. That is insane. it's a video game. wake up to the real world. Statism and Fascism are evil . that is insane. period. a few second difference means nothing. I'd rather play Xbox One smite with no messaging system. i could care less. No wonder they operate so well in america because everyone is such a fascist. sickening. im done. Sheeple pretending to wolves, ruled by wolves.

TrulyBland5 votes

They had to draw the line somewhere. They drew it and they informed people about it. Also: Godwin's Law ftw.

could have chosen any authoritarian dictator, but choices like Mao, Stalin, and Hitler are pretty iconic. Fascism and Communism/Marxism are not so different.

I think your comparison may be a "little" disproportionate. You are comparing a private business asking that you pay for a product they offer (champion skins) with political regimes who would systematically execute political dissidents.

Seriously? With 12 your body is still in the growing process. Cigarettes and alcohol in this age are way more harmful ...

I tend to stay away from third party apps (including curse now) because I lost faith that they can protect my accounts info

Void Nargacuga1 votes

Curse is actually full accepted now that they took out all the timers that gave anyone an edge, and even more so after they took out the feature of forcing players into a chat room together.
