At least in Dota 2, macros can give huge advantages. For example, cycling through every meepo to start a poof and blinking takes ~10 inputs in a precise order with an extremely tight timing window. Very mechanically demanding. A macro can execute it perfectly with a single button press instantly. Similar with Invokers Invoke ability for sequenced combos of specific spells.

I honestly have no idea if an equivalently demanding sequence of inputs exists in LoL.

I have never played Dota and when reading this I am too scared to start.
