:valExclamation: Riot does not offer an official list of which software, hardware, or other modifications may lead to ban. Riot is constantly working on trying to keep the game fair for all players. They stress that any modification that causes an unfair advantage for players, will lead to a restriction.

You can use the keyboard, it’s safe not to use those additional features.

Yah. Use your judgement. Riot can decide to make anything bannable but they don't yet feel that snaptap gives an advantage...yet.

so basically right now it is allowed but potentially not in the future?

Correct. Just read the terms of service for the exact wording. If you're uncertain, just disable those features or use a more normal keyboard and you shouldn't be banned.

You could also open a ticket with riot, but they may give you a generic response.

Honestly depends on the skill you bring in.

It's more down to understanding the maps and abilities. Your raw mechanical skill will get you so far, but eventually ull be competing with people who have just been playing more. And also with teammates who may be at a slightly different skill level. Playing in a premade (not getting boosted, but just playing with consistent teammates) can help if your goal is to get to a high rank fast.

Yeah, I’m currently Platinum, but I haven’t played much recently since my PC broke down for a month. When I first started playing, I landed in Gold 1 last summer. I know I still have a lot to improve on, but I do my best not to let smurfs outfrag me. I understand that they’re playing at a different skill level, and I actually enjoy facing better players. I believe that repeatedly facing tougher opponents helps me grow faster than just playing against random people. People who get boosted don’t really impress me. It might make their rank look nice, but it doesn’t reflect their actual skill. I’ve had about four different accounts reach Platinum now, and instead of making new accounts and ruining the experience for lower-ranked players, I’ve decided to push for higher ranks. At the rate I’m improving, I feel like I could easily reach the next rank in a few days if I wanted to. I also recognize that most players are older than me, so they naturally have better game sense and aim. I don’t really worry about that. What I focus on most is adapting to my team, communicating effectively, and learning the specific locations or strategies they use to improve faster. I’m soon to be 17, just recently got into soccer, and I’ve been looking into cooking schools for education. However, being part of an esports team is still something I want to pursue in my free time. The reason I asked how long it would take for a Bronze player to reach Radiant if they started now, with a minimum of 4 hours of play per day, was because I wanted to calculate and estimate how long the journey might take. What I mentioned afterward, fast thinking, quick decision-making, maintaining a positive mentality, and staying calm — are the traits I value the most and believe are my strongest assets.

Like if you want the minimum time, there was a streamer who almost got to Radiant in 72 hours (single stream), but again, you'll probably hit hardships with the matchmaking if you just soloq, and will be at a huge disadvantage if you're just starting w/ the game. It's like starting w/ Siege now.
