Before you guys flame me for "being a hacker that just wants to cry" I need to tell you I don't even play this game, let alone hack on it. I barely have 20 hours in the last 2 years probably. I decided to play a few matches this summer after a long year+ break. Everything was fine. I was still a noob not winning anything. I was on a scholarship over the summer in Finland and I was playing with my roommate. The scholarship ended, I came home and didn't touch LoL anymore as it's not one of the games I play anymore. Then 1.5 months later, I get an email for being perma banned for scripting?

From what I read on the Riot official stance on hacking, perma-banning someone is done in cases where scripting was used almost all the time and helped a significant amount. "up to a permanent suspension for consistent, blatant use." is what you guys say in there. I don't even play the game, not even 1 hour a month, how can I consistently and blatantly use anything for that matter? What the hell Riot I barely played 15 matches in 1 year let alone scripted them? I have not been ranked for 2-3 seasons now. I have absolutely no intention of ever hacking/scripting/cheating in a game where I don't even play??

What can I do really? It says I am permanently banned but there surely is a way to remove this right? I was not hacked. My password is still the same, still has been for almost 5 years. I made this account so long ago I can't even remember how old I was.

I have never ever been banned in a game for hacking before. I never even knew there were hacks for League until I got banned and asked my friends how could you even hack in here?

EDIT: Apparently there is a website where another user helped me and found a match history of someone in my account, playing when I shouldn't be playing at all... https://matchhistory.eune.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-history/EUN1/28822931 Can I get my account back as it's clear I was NOT hacking and got my password somehow stolen?

Look at your match history. Someone was using that account

well Eecat solved it (cause I didn't' bother looking at match history) someone was using your account which would hold you responsible for what happens on your account. So you were hacked then if you're saying it isn't you and they were then using scripts then and got you banned. I'm sorry but unfortunately there will be nothing Riot can do.

Holy fuck I didn't even have KaiSa on my account....why didn't I get any suspicious activity e-mail or anything along those lines? Wait so if I'm hacked Riot won't help me? I literally get banned because the hacker used my account?

Send a ticket in

That is their policy. You are responsible for activity on your account, regardless of whether you were the one accessing it at the time or not.

IT WASN'T ME! CAN'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? Remember that you are fully responsible for all activity made on your account, and if suspensions or bans are incurred we will not be able to modify them.

Not entirely true. If Riot can verify that it was unauthorized access they will usually revert the punishment. Problem being that verifying something like that isn't always that easy.

I'd advise OP to send a ticket. I can't really say what the odds are that it will work out, but it can't hurt.

some 3rd party overlays count as "hacking" or "scripting". Like ones that will tell you the enemies rank, etc. So where as you may actually not have been scripting or hacking, if you used a program like that Riot's system may have picked it up as one.

Never used any program like that. Literally all I ever used on that laptop was Discord while playing LoL. I don't have anything else installed there, apart from a lot of coding projects in python, Java and C as that is my Uni laptop and I NEVER used it for gaming before I went away this summer. I even used the in-game voice chat because my roommate didn't know what Discord is...
