Can I get banned for using LSI (League Summoner Information)?
I have been using LSI for about a week, what this program allows me to do is:
- Edit what champions I get when I type in the search bar.
- In game allows me to view all the damage i took from every source.
- Allows me to open a side window with viewable information to every player's rank, runes, masteries and so forth.
- Allows me to stop league audio from resetting after a patch. (Thank God for this!)
These are the main features, i was wondering, can i get banned for using this? Because it isn't giving me an unfair gameplay advantage over the enemy team, nor any information i can't obtain from other websites, like lolking.net and such

Maybe eventually, but probably not.
Strictly speaking, it is a third party program, so Riot can't approve it. Third party programs are updated all the time and Riot doesn't have any control over what changes are made, so they can't explicitly give the OK to any of them. From a recent post on the forums:
We will not be maintaining a list of applications that might be approved or denied, because honestly, we’re just not ever going to be able to continually audit every service or function for player security, especially in this ecosystem where devs so frequently improve and expand their apps. And just to clarify, Curse is not "100% approved" specifically either, though it is okay to use. We only spoke about it specifically by name to clear up confusion around the fact we did initially prohibit its use, but we want to make sure it's clear that it is not "100% approved" as we do not make that statement about any particular app.
However, in this specific case it's worth noting that the people working on LSI stay connected very closely with Riot to make sure that their program doesn't violate the Terms of Service and won't fire false flags for the methods Riot uses to detect scripts and the like. In addition, the player ranking information is freely available on several websites for the same reason LSI can find it: Riot has a public-facing API, which wouldn't offer this info if they didn't want it to, especially given how long it's been up and how established some of these sites/programs are.
So if in the future changes are made to LSI without consulting Riot, it's possible that using the program will be a bannable offense. But at the moment it seems that's not the case.
