Your son should write into player support through a Support Ticket if he believes this punishment was in error (though they are quite accurate with their process to verify these bans).

In the meantime, consider these possibilities;

  • You aren't as aware of his activities as you believe and he's not being honest.
  • The account was compromised due to poor login information security, and someone else used cheats on it
  • He logged in somewhere other than your home computer where you can't control what happens
  • He allowed someone else to use his account and they cheated

These are just some common reasons to explain this kind of situation. Regardless, wait on that support ticket to be answered within a few days to hopefully get some more information (keep in mind that Support cannot divulge information that can compromise their investigation process, including what cheat they found).

Also, "scripts" are any program which takes action for the player automatically. These are illegal in this and basically all online multiplayer games, and are typically used to gain an unfair advantage over other players.

Yeah... remember few months ago when there was a whole bunch of wrongfully banned for scripting? And they wouldn't look into it until every post on boards was about it? And support didn' want to listen tk people?

Yeah, little bit sceptical about "are quite accurate" part.

It's extremely rare to have a false flag in the system. They do ban waves all the time; an outlier does not define the system. Also, Support absolutely listened because they were able to fix the bug and reverse those bans. If there is a bug, they need players to write in so a pattern can be established so that it is recognized.

Also, the amount of people who were posting then was about the same as it is normally when there is a good sized ban wave. It took about a week of them posting consistently for me to think something was abnormal at the time.

They are from EUNE, and english obviously isn't their first language. Maybe it's not even second.....

Try learning his/hers (whoever wrote this) first language so we can see how well you'll write! Cheers. :)

Im sorry but my english are not good in were i live we dont speak English

BananaSlayerAMO1 votes

I find it hard to believe that an adult writes that poorly, therefore I'm not buying any of it.

And I suppose all people in EUNE should have English as their first language? Narrow-minded much?

It's also amazing how you expected a mother, probably middle-aged, to understand cheating/hacking/scripts/exploits.

Scary Door1 votes

I don't buy the story to begin with and besides the point is moot as the individual in question is a cheater.

No reason to learn anything else about them... byezies.

BananaSlayerAMO1 votes

And you know that they're cheating how? Oh, assumptions again.

Scary Door1 votes

I don't. They must have been banned by mistake. You're totally right.

Yay cheaters.

I don't like to think the opposite, but i'd imagine a mother would have proper spelling and grammar at the very least. Also think it's funny the first thing she does is go the boards.

Talk to ze hand2 votes

my point exactly.

BananaSlayerAMO1 votes

It may seem suspicious, but her English could just be like my mum's (whose first language isn't English), and maybe she came across the boards after searching many places for help. This is the first ever post that this account has made on the boards so whoever this person is, they aren't well acquainted with the boards.

You can be 100% correct, but I come from years of time put in to online free games where the "child" breaks the rules and then the "parents" comes on and tries to mend the situation. I'm used to see this stuff being faked.

Lexyy2 votes

Yes it's probably a kid, but bad grammar and spelling are not the things that give him away :)

It's completely normal for people, whose first language isnt english, to write like this.

"invented time and money".................I must meet your son!!!!

Send tickets to Riot. If they've made a genuine mistake, hopefully they'll realise it after reevaluation. If people have been wrongfully accused, and they persistently let Riot know about it, then eventually the message will get through.

what the actual fuck.so lets say i believe you are a mother of someone who used hacks and not someone who thinks he will get unbanned this way.you see your kid cry as you say "that much over a game" and your action is to come ask for explanation instead of trying to do something about your obviously addicted son?cudos "mother"

Dude you need to chill the fuck out. People like you are the exact reason why people think League's community is toxic. This mom has no fucking clue what any of this is, and all she knows is that her son is hurt, so she's trying to help by posting to a League forum DEDICATED TO BEHAVIOR MODERATION.

You have no basis for saying that her son is "addicted". Even if this is just someone pretending to be a mom, them making up a sob story isn't going to help any more than it help's all of the other players who get's banned. So chances are she's probably a mother.

BananaSlayerAMO1 votes

Who said anything about addiction? Just because the child cared about the game? I'd be pretty upset if I lost all of my progress on my favourite games, especially if I was a kid.

There are current bans going around regarding a very bad glitch exploit on the champion Xerath. The main exploit of this is by using scripting programs.

While these programs are the main source of making this cheat happen, they are not the only way to make this glitch happen. This glitch is apparently achievable without the scripting programs, but the players exploiting the glitch would be banned either way, as they are cheating in the game. It is possible your son was exploiting this glitch without the scripting programs, which would have caused his account to be banned.

There's missing a

Scary Door1 votes

(They deleted my original post... so I'm going to take a different approach)

I'm so terribly sorry this has happened to you and your "son". What a tragedy! Obviously a horrific mistake has been made.

'You are not allowed to lambast cheaters on the Boards' is what i was told by my warning message. So I promise from here on out I will not do that any longer. In fact, let me just publicly say, yay cheaters!

A lot of players seem to be experiencing the same issue, and you'll need to send in a support ticket and talk to the Riot staff: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/requests/new

They do bans for using third party software in waves, and sometimes mistakes are made. Politely explain your situation and be patient, it will take up to a day for you to get your first reply. Continue to explain your situation and mention that there have been many players speaking up on the forum about being banned by mistake during this wave and ask for a manual review of your account. If Riot conducts the review and finds that you indeed did nothing wrong then your account will have the ban removed.

The key here is patience as you go through the motions. Good luck! [slayer-jinx-catface]
