LOL- Perma Banned

pcfmYiJC8R·3/25/2015, 8:05:31 PM·7 votes·4,378 views

Ok so I have been getting suspended for awhile now thinking it was because I was toxic. Never thought to question it because I can be toxic every once in awhile, but then I got perma banned.

I Got an email saying this...

Hello Summoner,

This account has been detected using modifications to widen the acceptable field of vision, also known as zoom hacking. As this is the second offense, this account has been permanently suspended. We believe that all players should play on equal footing in an effort to promote competitive sportsmanship. You should be aware that modifying your League of Legends client is against the Terms of Use, Section V:

J: Using any unauthorized third party programs, including but not limited to "mods," "hacks," "cheats," "scripts," "bots," "trainers," and automation programs, that interact with the Software in any way, for any purpose, including, without limitation, any unauthorized third party programs that intercept, emulate, or redirect any communication between the Software and Riot Games and any unauthorized third party programs that collect information about the Game by reading areas of memory used by the Software to store information.

Now here is the problem. 9 months ago I was having trouble with my FPS, I guess everyone was having problems in 2014 with servers and and FPS dropping a lot with their pings etc. So my friend sent me a file called Draw.xll I think it was? Anyways he said it should help with my FPS. He told me where to put it in a folder and I did. I didn't see much of a difference in FPS and totally forgot I had that file as time went on.

Apparently that is the file for Zoom hack but I never zoom in or out so to me I didn't even know what it was. I ended up getting suspended a lot until recently I got the email that I was perma suspended. The final email told me why I was perma suspended but up until then I kept getting the cookie cutter emails that I broke the TOS and since Riot says they can ban you for w/e reason they want or no reason at all I assumed it must be cause I was toxic.

Here is the my issue with this.. Ya it might have been dumb for me to accept a file from a friend not knowing exactly what it was but all this time I have been getting suspended Riot never told me why.. If they had told me at the first suspension I would have uninstalled and reinstalled league to make sure the file was gone. However they waited till I was perma banned to let me know...

Here is the kicker though and I find kinda funny. I have played probably over 2000 games on that account and was still in bronze because I don't really take ranked seriously and yet Riot thinks I was using zoom hack to have an unfair advantage over players?

Over a year of game time on that account with all the champions and a ton of skins and money I put on that account only to get perma banned for a reason I didn't even know why until it was too late.

Imo Riot should have let me known the first time why I was getting suspended instead of waiting till it was to late for me to fix it.

Either way I disputed my latest transactions on paypal. I been emailing riot and I give it about 7 days to rather unban me or i'm taking back the money I spent. This is why people thinks Riot has no loyality to it's player base because instead of letting people know what they did wrong they send cookie cutter emails that give you no information and you are expected to know why , but when they perma ban you then they tell you and imo that isn't fair.

Either way it's rather I get unbanned or I get my money back and spend it else where.

that's like the cheating husband saying: "I was naked, she was naked and I tripped and fell. I swear to god it was a total accident."

I tried ZOOM hack on my account once in a private lobby... If you use it even from non competitive play it is CHANGING th code of the game and is by all technicalities HACKING.

I just wanted to understand what the mod itself was...I un installed the program because I know from experience it just gets you caught.

Cheating is Cheating Breaking the Law is Breaking the Law - Doesn't matter if its an accident or on purpose YOU are held accountable for the action.

That sucks for you and I can't even imagine the frustration you must be experiencing right now. However on Riot's side they have no way of verifying that you had the file on as a result of a misunderstanding and never actually used it for cheating.

Anomander3/25/2015, 8:13:56 PM2 votes

So you admit to having the zoom hack file? You admit to modifying the game files. And you think you should not be banned?

they should clearly state the reason of ban before it's too late back then they sent you the link to your tribunal case when you was banned or even just warned for your behavior

I hope you are aware that disputing the charges on your account is fraudulent since you have no real grounds on which to do so... and if your bank ever audits the claim it could result in some pretty serious repercussions for you.

Before you do anything like that you should do some real research into the consequences of those actions, as the few hundred dollars may not be worth the penalties you could see as a result.

Not saying you necessarily will, as most of these types of fraudulent chargebacks go unpunished since the bank only audits a small percentage, but I would strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the potential penalties just so they don't come as a surprise if they happen.

Aside from that, you made a mistake and got banned for it... that's your own fault, nobody else's. Good luck in the future.

Pucking perfect is ALMOST as annoying as you hackers.

It's like a 10 year old fat kid laughing at a person in jail for pedophilia.

He craves dem creamy hamstrings.

Either way it's either(?) I get unbanned or I get my money back and spend it else where.

This aside, he has a point. I woulda flipped my shit if I had gotten an email telling me it was my second offence without an email telling me about the first offence. It makes perfect sense to have these rules, it makes perfect sense to be able to ban without having to say why (to a point. It prevents loopholes, but has to be used responsibly) but if you can't have a 3 strikes your out system without telling them you got a strike...
