So I was randomly banned for 2 weeks because of MMR boosting????? Not once have I ever let anyone on my account. Apparently other people are getting the same thing, but I haven't received anything usable as proof for this accusation. Can someone please check my match history for anything that looks out of the ordinary, because I'm honestly surprised.
Riot has access to a lot of data on your account - data that can conclusively determine what human person (i.e. what individual) is sitting at the keyboard and mouse playing a particular game. They use that data to flag accounts for boosting bans if they are boosting at any point during the season, for any number of games. That being said, the bans are mostly automated and so there is a (very) small chance for an error. If you truly did not boost, you can request a review through Riot Support where a real human will review the games that were flagged for boosting and determine if you were boosting or not. If Support makes the determination that the data says you boosted, there is generally no further appeal. Support agents do not leave bans placed wrongly, and if there is a doubt in their mind as to if you boosted or not they will remove it.
That being said, Riot does not discuss specific data that goes into it as it would allow boosters to avoid detection. There is, however, quite a plethora of data involved that can allow a human to conclusively, with virtually 100% certainty, determine if MMR boosting occurred.
Same here, just got banned for boosting. I dont understand how their system works because i just climb to gold 5 every season and then i stop playing because i dont enjoy ranked. They also just replied some automated answer to me. Its just ridiculous how they just ban people without them even knowing and claiming some random crap with no actual proof. Just stuppid, i hope this gets fixed
I have the same problem. And the fun thing is I decided to main zed and played only him in blind pick mostly. And as you all know blind pick is full of bronze and unranked accounts whilst im gold. So i was wrecking every game but not every game was a win although every game my score was like 17/4 - 20/6 -10/2 and so on. And if they banned me for that the system is so bad. Probz will quit lol it they revoke all my account rewards. Hello other games! [zombie-brand-facepalm]
Same for me guys. I came home from job and suddenly I've been banned for MMR boosting. Riot support don't want me to tell, what I did wrong, or how this happened, only repeating that they won't cancel the ban. I'm wondering if it is 'cuz IP changes, because I use torrent and changing my IP's, plus I traveled alot before the end of session. Some "Player support specialist - Riot Games" told me that they just know it.. without more answers or anything, I feel like it was some child talk, 'cuz you want answer and they are just repeating "we can't give you answer, we just know it". I want some proves or how did they make their decision...
yeah same problem, if they don't fix this shit I'm going to play HOTS. After a week of that ill probably just fall over dead
Hi guys. The same happened to me.... i Paused playing lol for 1 Year and started playing in April again. I Never gave my account to someone Else.. and i played from s4 to g5. I Really tried hard to get to g5. And Now i am Banned for this? This seems Not Really "boosted" to me. I Hope they fix this!!!
Yes, this also happened to me. No one else has played on my account, but it doesn't look like we'll have a chance to prove the validity of our claims. I suppose at the end of the day it's their game and there is a greater good they are looking out for. That said, I do wish the procedure accepted some form of proof from us because the way false positives are being handled currently seems problematic even if it's only effecting an incredibly small user base.
I have the same problem. Maining support but not the carry ones. So I just play until i reach Gold V to get the season reward and i stop because i am too coward that i fall go down again. Unfortunately my stats are too good even when i lose and additionally i am a quite good aram player what pushes my hidden mr according to op.gg to Platinum V. Now i got banned without any specific reason. Is there any hope to reverse the ban and getting an excuse?
