What kind of "exploit that provides one with an unfair advantage in the game" did I get banned for?

rtbf221146393·Jun 8, 2015·7 votes·1,590 views

The only thing thats close to an "exlpoit" that I used is cancelling ability animations with laugh (it doesnt give you any advantage, I used it at the start of every game while going to lane), but I asked riot support and thats not the reason why I got banned. Riot support can't tell me what exploit I used so I googled "lol exlpoits" and all I see is scripts or videos of the ashe+botrk exploits so that cant be the reason why I got banned. I never used anything that would give me an unfair advantage and the only 3rd party program that I have is lolreplay. What else could I get banned for that's classified as an "exlpoit"?

Also players who use exploits always have really high win rate and my win rate is only 51% and 45% in the last 20 games.

Without more proof from Riot or you (not sure how really), is hard to say. Your comments sound really shifty, like "I didn't do x thing but, if I did, how could they even detect that?" sort of comments. That sounds rrreeeaaaaaally shady, even if you didn't mean it to.

Just being honest ^

Too many people that come on here with sob stories, like the guy last week claiming his "6 year old daughter" was playing for him, and some ridiculous story about a guy who got reported for saying his daughter was feeding or some such. Come to find out, that game never happened, guy made the whole thing up, he was just trying to witch hunt for absolutely no reason.

It is pretty typical that people come on with the "I didn't do nuffin but got banned. I'm innocent I promise!" Every single one gets proven to be a deserved ban from some member of Riot. Is very hard to believe threads like these anymore.

Can't forget you even straight up admit to trying to install a third party skin....which is against the terms of service by the way lol So congrats on that

I asked that because if its not done by a person, it can just permaban me because I use a really fast combo that no one else does (I never saw any other riven main do it), but if you actually watch more games you will see that I fail it like 25% of the time because I time it wrong. A macro would never fail it (I think, since its all about timing your E right so it cancels W animation with Q). Also the blue dragonblade riven is just a recolor, I already have dragonblade riven... there was a post on the front page of reddit with 3k upvotes advertising skin recolors when Chromas were first released. I tried to install it but it didn't work for me. (http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/31vuh0/hi_im_creating_whatever_chroma_you_can_want_for/)

You may just want to do some research instead of posting on here next time. The automated system cannot permaban, so you did something that caught Riot's attention specifically.

Also while it is technically against the terms of service to use custom skins Riot doesn't ban because of those. You did something else.

Do you think I could get banned for accidently duoing with a drophacker for one game? I had him on my friends list for months, he was on a winning streak and asked me to duo. He was clearly scripting (dodging ahri charm from fog of war) and then drophacked the game when we were about to lose and tried to blame it on someone else. Then he deleted me and changed his name.

Again, do some research if you legitimately don't understand how computers work. You either don't actually understand that or you're a massive troll.

Yeah I dont know how it works, but if thats not the reason why I got banned then I have no idea what else could've gotten me banned...

"Simultaneously, we kicked off suspension proceedings against all accounts involved in drophacking, past or present. Similar to last year's ban waves, we won’t be showing any mercy and all corroborated accounts will be permanently banned. No warnings or two-week suspensions, just pure and simple account closure. The ban waves have already started, and we expect to get a vast majority of the accounts processed by the end of this week. It will take some time to complete, but the delay remains in line with our general approach: we have to be 100% certain that a given account is guilty. We are confident in our ability to detect offenders, and aim to decisively punish offenders."

If you have truly been wrongly banned just spam support tickets until a real person replies.

However it seems exceedingly likely that you're just trolling here. If you want to talk to someone about this on the boards fine, but please stop replying to me until this matter is resolved.

Maybe what you installed was some form of malware or backdoor program that was targeting processes associated w/ League while it was running. That could be considered something worthy of ban if they couldn't check your source code to prove it wasn't some type of auto-cancelling assist program or one of those anti fog of war BS programs they keep claiming are real. But you should in general stay away from downloading anything that will infringe upon your EULA. =/

There's only one notable exception that I recall. The player in question go a chat ban. When he asked for his chat logs, they contained things like "GG this Akali, such a noob". He then proceeded to point out that he was the Akali that game, and it got overturned immediately.

In contrast, I've seen far more cases of people who aren't banned claiming to be banned. Statistically, it's more likely for a person to be faking the report than to be innocent, which is pretty sad for the person posting but pretty good for Riot's accuracy.

Do you use custom skins or customize the aesthetics of your game in any way? They'd do that just about any time they detect someone has modified the files of the game.

No, I tried to install blue dragonblade riven but it didn't work

Do you use macro keys or buttons? Because using them excessively is classified as that (I.E., using them to program a combo from only one button press. Setting up buttons on your mouse to correspond to your items is completely fine though)

No I don't but how would Riot detect that? What if I got banned for that just because I use a really uncommon Riven combo which uses Windslash, W, Q and Hydra at the same time? Do you think Riot could ban me just because they think I used macros, even when they have no evidence/proof?

redniwediSJun 8, 20151 votes

Macros work in a particular way that a human can't replicate. That's not the issue.

But in response to your last question Riot can ban you for whatever reason they see fit, and they have your permission to do it. You signed that agreement when logging in, after all.

She got banned for a third party addon she left in her game files, and is only confused that Riot can detect that. Also, this is the troll who calls everyone a misogynist, using another account because she keeps getting her mains banned.

What are you asking us for? If you actually want to know just make a support ticket, they will tell you exactly what you did wrong.

No they won't, its against the rules or something, they just say that I got banned for exploits. I'm asking what else could I get banned for other than scripting/drophacking/using unauthorized 3rd party programs here because Riot support won't tell me.

redniwediSJun 8, 20155 votes

I've never heard of a ban-worthy offense that they won't tell you the cause of...

In any case it's a waste of time to discuss this type of thing. Riot won't make changes, the readers of the boards can't help you, and so a support ticket is literally your only option. Who knows, maybe your ban was a mistake and they can fix it for you.

You certainly don't seem like you were cheating, however there have been enough liars on these boards for me to view anyone who got banned for anything with a fair amount of suspicion.

Sona PingJun 8, 20153 votes

I have; it was a pretty big thread here. Guy made a thread asking why he was banned, sent multiple letters in and they only sent out responses of "you were detected using scripts/exploit...ruins the game for others... against ToS... blah blah etc.", just repeatedly received form letters.

It did get resolved, he was auto-banned by a program that screwed up, a bug in the game caused him to be falsely identified. The large amount of forum attention probably helped him.

rtbf221146393Jun 8, 20151 votes

Also I got banned instantly after a really close game where I 1v5'd the enemy team (https://streamable.com/sr36), didn't even get to see how much lp I got. Do you think I could get automatically permabanned JUST because of this game?
