Set your League status to anything!
Some of y'all were asking how I got my League status so loooonnnnggg. Well, the short answer is through some ✨*code magic*✨. Long answer is by using the hidden API's built into the League client to bypass the client-side limit on the status text.
When the League client runs, it exposes a server and an API (known as the LCU API) such that each individual part can communicate with each other seamlessly (barring the very well-documented client bugs). This fact has been known since the rewrite in 2016. Though unofficial, the community on the Riot Developers' Discord has created a very convenient Node.js connector and generated relevant Swagger docs.
Using these community-created tools, needlessly-long-status is an interface to interact with the chat status API so that you don't have to mess with any code.
Simply grab the newest release (click me) above and click on the needlessly-long-status.exe file once extracted. It should be pretty straightforward from that point on.
Note that there is a soft limit on how many characters your status can be; I found that, at about 1500 characters, the friends list does not stay connected.
At roughly 2000 characters, the friends list does not load at all. So please be reasonable!
- I claim no responsbility for any damage to your League client, your computer, or yourself. Use this tool at your own discretion.
- Created with Electron/Node.js and as few other JS libraries as possible.
- You may have to restart your client before it works.
- If anyone plays League on a Mac and/or wants to volunteer to test or build, feel free to drop a pull request or add me on league at Ieaverbuster.
