What the Experts Say

According to Riot Games, the developer of League of Legends, purchasing in-game cosmetics outside of the official League of Legends store is against the game's Terms of Service.

Why is it Against the Rules?

There are several reasons why Riot Games has made it against the rules to purchase in-game cosmetics outside of the official store.

• It can lead to scams. There are many websites and individuals who sell in-game cosmetics that are not legitimate. These sellers may take your money and never deliver the cosmetics, or they may sell you counterfeit cosmetics that do not work.
• It can damage the game's economy. When players purchase in-game cosmetics from third-party sources, they are not supporting Riot Games. This can damage the game's economy and make it more difficult for Riot Games to continue to develop and support the game.
• It can lead to account bans. If Riot Games discovers that you have purchased in-game cosmetics outside of the official store, they may ban your account. This means that you will lose access to all of your in-game progress and purchases.

What Should You Do?

If you are thinking about purchasing in-game cosmetics, it is important to remember that it is against the game's Terms of Service to do so outside of the official store.

If you want to support Riot Games and the development of League of Legends, the best way to do so is to purchase in-game cosmetics from the official store.
