so this is a screenshot of what I'm working with as of now. Basically what I'm trying to do is make my 'Enter/Return' key not work or become disabled whenever I'm running this application and only have it affect this applications.
If I'm being completely honest I'm brand new to this and I've tried looking through the forums for a solution and haven't found one.
Since I'm new to this a lot of the language and the concepts are also difficult for me so if I could get some help or have someone break it down to a more basic level I would appreciate it.

OK, here is an EXAMPLE Macro, and Macro Group, that uses TextEdit as the target app for which to disable the RETURN and ENTER keys.
You will need to change the Macro Group to use the app you wish to use ("League of Legends").

### Questions?
Thank you so much!!! I was stuck on just working with Macros instead of creating a separate macro group and assigning the correct macro you have saved me a ton of time thank you so much!
Sorry to have to ask for help again. But everything was working fine originally and now the macro isn't working anymore in the app. I haven't changed anything regarding the actual macro so do you have any idea what may be the reason why it isn't working anymore?
No changes made to system preferences. I have installed new apps but nothing that would interfere. I have updated MacOS recently. After I did what Peter suggested it says that the macro group is inactive but I have the macro group checked. Like I said I haven't changed the macro at all so I don't know why the macro group was active before but now it's inactive.
So what I did was I clicked assistance had it run and it said the macro group was inactive. Then I clicked on the application but had assistance in the background so I could so if it changed and it still said the macro group was inactive.
In that case, Keyboard Maestro does not think the application is frontmost.
Given you already have two "League of Legends" listed there, I'd guess maybe the app changes name or path, and so Keyboard Maestro is seeing it as a different application.
Reselect it in the editor while it is running.
Keyboard Maestro remembers applications based primarily on paths, and looks for them based on their bundle ID if the application at that path no longer exists.
So if you have multiple versions of the app at different locations (including on different volumes or network volumes) or if the application changes location or path, or if the application is translocated, then the application can appear as a different application.
