I was recently a victim of a hacking the person used my account to use scripts and boost his friends on my account. I had no knowledge of this while they were doing this and I put in a ticket for this and I want to know if I can doing anything to get my account back. The link I provided is a game where he used my account with his friends ( SoHighIDontWanna, lilWinky ) he played two ranked games with these people so it is likely they are part of this.

The ticket is your only solution.

Riot support will be able to identify unauthorized entry after they verify you are the true owner.

Once they verified unauthorized entry, you can tell them that the use of unauthorized 3rd party applications was during that time frame and they would remove the punishment.

You weren't hacked little one, you were pwned. Get it right. Practice safer account habits. Figure out why you got pwned, and take action to prevent it from happening again. Account theft 9/10 your fault.

Riot's security is pretty top notch. It will take some serious skill, and time getting in far enough to steal just one account. if at all possible. Which isn't worth the effort.

Large difference between "hacked" and "sniffed" or "stolen"

I'm going through the same thing right now, I haven't accessed my account since making a Riot Account, and when I went to play a game of Urf with some pals I was hit with a ban hammer. I've never cheated or done anything even remotely malicious, so I'm really hoping Rito will help me out of this.
