I was Wrongfully Perma-Banned for using third party software!?!?!?!?

Dragon Luna··2 votes·1,065 views

RIot sent me an email, that said my account was permanently banned for the use of TPS, but when I contacted player support to argue that I was wrongfully accused and banned for the use of TPS in modifying the league of legends client.... but when I asked what exactly happened, and when they noticed the suspicious activity, they could not tell me when or what actually happened, only that I was banned and that they would not do anything about it, neither could they share any evidence that I actually in fact did something against the summoner's code. First off, Im only a gold tier player from last season, for one I have no reason to script, because I mainly play this game to have fun, and only play enough ranked to achieve gold5, either way the day I got banned I only played 4 games, 3 of which I lost hard (3 normal SR and 1 ARAM game)... Two, Ive been using a mac laptop to play league, and according to my lacking knowledge of code on the OSX platform, when an application downloaded from the internet, (in this case being the League of Legends client), unlike the Windows OS, it is saved as a full application, not as an executable file that can be edited, by simply injecting a foreign line of code into the file itself, so by just that it would be impossible for me to even attempt to edit the client in any way. Thirdly I pride myself in being a skilled player, that can live up as a shining example to the community, despite being blunt about my opinions most of the time, and multiple times over this past year I've actually considered starting a youtube channel to create Gold Jungle guides on my mains and other things I find interesting, why would I want to soil my reputation, when I have a goal to eventually become a public figure in the league community. If anyone wants to check my match history to see if I was hacking or not search my summoner name Dragon Luna Please upvote this for visibility guys, Ive put too much time and money into this account over the past 3 years to have it taken away over being wrongly accused of something I never did.

So the main thing I'm seeing here is that you're a top/jg main, yet about three weeks ago you went on a winning streak with ADC champs, putting up unusually good scores. Consistently high CS, double-digits kills, low deaths, and a massive win percentage. Yet scrolling far in either direction, I see no evidence that you play ADC with any consistency at all, at that high level or otherwise. And while your other sporadic ADC games use heal, these successful games use barrier... and with flash on the opposite key.

In other words, your account looks boosted to me. Maybe you never personally scripted, but whoever you had piloting your account in those games probably did, and that's just as bad.

I never payed for boosting before though? I had a friend play with me for a few games as he coached me, I let him set up everything, I myself played those games

Sorry, I see no reason to believe that.

You played Ezreal twice in December and a handful of times in November, all with average KDAs, fairly low farm, and Flash on your F key. Then, in the middle of January, you suddenly pop off with KDAs of 16/5/4, 14/2/8, and 14/3/8, all with 8+ CS per minute, all with Flash on your D key. On that same day, you also piloted Twitch to KDAS of 25/2/6 and 16/5/4, as well as similarly good Kog and Trist games. All with Flash on your D key.

You expect us to believe that this is the product of your friend "coaching" you? And that his "coaching" would involve swapping the key you use flash on, despite that being a personal comfort choice with no tangible strategic value in changing? And that, despite having a friend who is clearly a GODLIKE coach, you immediately swapped back to flash on F and mostly playing top or jungle after that day, ignoring everything you learned?

Nah, dude. You did something against the rules here. Either you tested a script in ranked matches, or you let a friend play on your account to boost you, or you bought a boost, etc. Doesn't really matter what, specifically, you did. It was obvious, you got caught, your account is gonzo.

I looked at the games too and never saw a common friend between any of the games I picked out.

You had a friend "coach" you for a few game and you were able to significantly increase your kda, cs and win % in a different role, with different champions? Is your friend Phil Jackson? I would find this explanation more believable if there was steady progression in a new role/champion, even if that progression seemed quick.

That doesn't quite make sense. Why would you allow someone to change your flash and play with it when that creates problems with muscle memory? It would actually tend to create worse KDA's with people but for you, it was the opposite. This makes it incredibly hard to believe your story.

It does look very suspicious just from a match history point of view for us but Riot can easily tell with IP logins if someone else accessed your account and boosted you... and just as an FYI, almost all people who get banned for scripting are also banned for getting boosted and sharing account info... so it's technically 3 permabannable offenses lumped into one permaban. They only put one reason in the reform card so you may not get the full picture as to why you got permabanned if the only thing you see is third party software.

Additionally, you don't necessarily have to modify a game file to use scripts. Some programs monitor the video feed of the game and timing index to tell you what's happening.

Yikes!

In addition to what Jo0o said, you won't get a specific answer from Riot. Riot does not disclose what programs cause these types of bans, or what they specifically caught. They keep these types of bans rather close to their chest so program designers don't know exactly what triggered the ban. Odds are, if you discovered this today, there will be many more today with similar issues as these particular bans are given in waves.

but according my knowledge there is no way to modify any application on Mac OSX without the master key from the developer

KingWanahakalugi1 votes

I'm not saying you directly altered the app, but do you have any programs that interact with the program or provide overlays or offer additional information not provided by the league client itself?

only discord and team viewer

Same thing happened to me man, I'm trying to get a chat going. I got perm banned for 3rd party, but all I use Is OBS and steam...makes 0 sense, Those are literally the only programs I have on this PC (other than league)
