Is Blitz against the rules?

FrickyMartin·Sep 7, 2019·3 votes·3,701 views

Blitz is a "third party application" that helps with play on summoners rift. Giving build suggestions, what abilities to rank first, etc. Recently they added TFT to their application. It adds an overlay in game for items and roll rates on champion pool. I've searched and haven't seen too much about it (probably because the feature is fairly new). Anyways, bit of a stupid question, but I was curious if this sort of thing was allowed considering one reportable offense is listed as (cheating) "unapproved third party programs".

I don't believe so, as all of the information (as far as I'm aware) is just pulled from u.gg, op.gg, etc. It doesn't do anything that you couldn't do yourself by just alt tabbing with a web browser open.

If it's giving live draw chance for different champions in tft though, I'd definitely be weary of using it.

You could calculate live draw chances, you have all the required information. In reality, I'm pretty sure you couldn't do it better than "high or low".

You can't, you do not have information of what is currently in the stores of other players.

I'm not entirely sure how this works (if champions in the shop are subtracted from the pool) but the point still stands. Any extension would have the same information that you have.

Current pools do account for other players pools, because there are only a specific amount of champs per game and if you buy all in your shop they are now "in play".

Thanks for the feedback by the way.

I'd send in a ticket to ask.. That way, if something would happen due to it, you talked to a rioter first and got the ok/not ok.. That's what I did when I used overwolf league add on. I don't anymore due to all the ads and stuff.

I'm thinking this is the best idea. (Also, highly recommend blitz for normal games. Saves so much time with live picks, counters, player stats, etc. I almost always have it open on my second monitor when in a Summoners Rift game)
