Permanently banned due to "3rd-party programs"

I was recently banned for 3rd-party programs which I do not use at all. Any programs I use while playing league are discord and skype. I don't use anything else. Also, I was hacked around 2-3 months ago and this person bought RP using my card and played my placements (rank). I have never done rank before (except once where I did my placements before a season ended) and so it obviously was not me playing. The person who hacked me also bought new champs and skins and used those champs to do my placements.

I did not know when it started but as soon as I saw charges on my card, I contacted riot and told them that it was not me buying the RP. So I changed my password right away and I even have proof that I was refunded my stuff and that someone actually used my card to purchase RP. I sent it a support request: #22199123 and was told that I was responsible for everything that happens on my account which doesn't make sense because it got stolen from me that time and I shouldn't have to be responsible for that.

Is there any way I can get this ban taken off?

The support team is very busy and sometimes their replies are shortsighted (not easy to manage that volume of reports, but it sometimes feels like they don't read any of the details given at all. You should comment back on the ticket and calmly explain again what happened, and perhaps give the old ticket number from when you got your refunds (even if it was on the first one, do it again).

Alright, I replied once already, but if he replies with same information I will repeat all my details. I had already told him my old ticket number but I don't think he even looked at it.

Hopefully persistence will pay off. I'm pretty sure there was a case on the boards a bit ago similar to yours, and the did remove the ban...

I'm praying that happens cause I've spent too much time and money on this game. Thank you so much for your help.

I had the same issue today where my account was perma banned for 3rd party programs, which i do not use as well. Found this article that says AMD could be the reason, along with skype being open http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/2VI29hKX-omg-i-figured-out-why-we-are-being-banned-for-third-party-programs-genius

I have an AMD but I don't know if this might be the reason. I hope not. How do we explain this to the staff?
