What is a LoL overlay?
A LoL overlay is a desktop app that displays useful information on top of League of Legends while you play. Hexgate's overlay shows real-time item recommendations based on the enemy team you are actually facing, so you always build the right items without alt-tabbing.
Is the Hexgate overlay allowed by Riot?
Yes. Hexgate works through Riot's Live Client Data API and the League client's own interface. It does not modify game files, read game memory or inject code into the game process.
Does the League of Legends overlay affect FPS?
Hexgate is built with Tauri (Rust + native webview), which uses far less memory and CPU than Electron-based overlays. Most players see zero FPS difference.
How is Hexgate different from Blitz, Mobalytics, or OP.GG?
Most overlays show the same pre-made build every game regardless of who you are playing against. Hexgate's AI analyzes all five enemies in real time and recommends items that counter their specific composition. It also uses less system resources.
Is the overlay free?
Yes. Hexgate is free for 3 games per day, including item recommendations, rune imports, gold difference on the scoreboard, and auto-updates. No ads. Hexgate Pro adds unlimited games, lane matchup scoring, and OTP builds for 9.99 EUR/month. Hexgate Pro+ (14.99 EUR/month) adds an AI Match Breakdown of every ranked, Draft and Swiftplay game, Lane Scouting, which shows the early-game habits of your lane opponent and the enemy jungler on the loading screen, and Clips, which records every death automatically so you can rewatch it.
What champions does the overlay support?
All champions, all roles. The AI is champion-agnostic and works the same way for every champion in the game. Rune data and item recommendations are available for every champion.
