Are League of Legends Custom Skins safe to use? Will I risk getting banned for using them? What are the rules and what does Riot Games say about using Custom Skins?
To answer these questions, we would like to refer you to the official stance from Riot Games on the use of Third Party Applications at:
https://support-leagueoflegends.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/225266848-Third-Party-Applications
“We can’t optimize for assets we don’t develop, and we reserve the right to take action against applications that allow the use of our assets for free (often referred to as skin hacks).”
What we can take away from this article is:
– Custom Skins are allowed to be used.
– Using Official paid skins from the game for free (Skin Hacks) is not allowed
– Using Custom Skins will always remain at use at own risk.
Custom Skins have been used ever since the early seasons of League of Legends and we at Skin Empire have never been notified of any case where a user got banned for using custom skins that comply with riot’s policy. They have been used very publicly as well by many streamers, which should give some assurance to you, the user.
Runeforge.io has been notified of cases where people on the korean server got banned for using any 3rd party tool which includes cslol manager, which is why we would not recommend to use our custom skins on the korean server.
Custom Skins from Skin Empire are in a .Fantome or .Zip format which can be installed by using CSLOL Manager.
