And that’s actually an argument against buying this monitor, as long as you want to play any games with it. They have reason to ban you just for using this monitor. So in the end you have the choice between one monitor that could get you banned and all the others that don’t. I know which one I wouldn’t choose.
I don’t know, if LoL uses it, but there’s some pretty ridiculous infrastructure in place for DRM, where programs can detect that your entire hardware stack (CPU → GPU → cable → Monitor) hasn’t been tampered with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection
They still can’t detect when you’re filming your monitor, but pretty much everything else…
Depending on the game, this could open you up to a perma-ban (if found out). Which I think most multiplayer games take a hardline stance against circumventing their rules.
Yup. The fastest return of my life was when I found out my mouse was banned from the game I literally bought a few minutes earlier. Of course it was Rust. Just because I have a mouse with macros and scripts doesn’t mean I’m using them (I really don’t lol).
Its all client-side, so unless LoL is checking the hw on the monitor there is no way to detect it
Aren’t they about to start using their kernel-level anticheat for LoL? They very well could look at hardware ids
They could ban hardware, rust banned a certain series of mice to prevent scripting.

Can’t you just spoof different hardware though?

Just wow, you can get macro software that works on any mouse or keyboard…
Yeah but this one is built-in. I guess that makes it different 🤷♂️
Ban the G502 thats got on board memory and can store 5 profiles and you can program macros onto the on board storage.
Why do we jave to live in the worst timeline?
Is using macros considered cheating these days? That seems dumb.
Ask rust devs.
