Is there no possibility to get a traded account unbanned?

Yes I bought this account earlier in the year, I was assured it was hand levelled and it cost me $30. It was unranked, I only bought it because a friend wanted me to get into the game and yes I played years ago on a different server and watched a lot of streams.

I've played 500 ranked games and nearly £100 on RP in the last several months, and mastery 7 on a few champions, and I've been grinding HARD to get more champions and mastery... And now I get permabanned?

Is there no sort of mercy or amnesty? I realise you have to fight against account trading, but this just seems disproportionate. I could have stomached it a bit more if it happened sooner to the time I got the account, before I put months of my life and personal time into it. I know the forum will only respond telling me I deserve it, and support told me there's no chance of reversing the ban, but damn. I feel bad. :\

I'm still incredibly sorry that I bought the account, I didn't realise at the time how serious Riot took that. Damn I'm depressed right now. :\

In the terms of service it clearly states Buying accounts is a No-no. Doesnt matter if its a legitimate account (not level botted/hacking) its still against the rules. There was nothing stopping you from just making an account, you just didnt want to work on leveling (just like everyone else does) let alone you trusted a total stranger that the account was leveled legitimately.
