Got banned for no reason (really) and was wondering if other people have had that experience

Today, I was casually playing on my only account (Silver 3 - Season 5) and I was saving up my IP to play Quinn JG (cuz she be OP). Once I buy her I get a chance to get que'd up in the Jungle role on my first try.

I'm first pick, I am fixing my masteries, and then I get a notification mid me changing my masteries that my champ is banned and that I have to close my client. Which, personally, I thought was very weird.

I re-open my client, input my login info and get a notice that my account is banned for using malicious 3rd party software.

Now if you knew me in real life, I'm not someone that usually cheats to get advantage over people. The only program that I have running with my league of legends is the Razer Scouter which provides me the same information that OP.GG and LOLKING provide, so I do not think that is why I got banned.

I just want an actual reason, because I am banned till year 9001 which is messed up, especially because of all the RP I have bought and all the enjoyment I have found in this game.

This really sucks and I wanted to know if anyone has experience this and what was the outcome, because I did read on the FAQ that perma-bans cannot be lifted.

Community, please halp.

I've seen this episode before...

A Rioter comes along and agrees with you that it seems that you personally didn't use unauthorized software, but that the person you payed to level your account back in October used scripts

But in all seriousness, if this isn't the case, I hope it gets cleared up for you. The guy who posted about getting banned for his mouse three other day has me nervous because I use a mouse with key binding (no combinations/scripts/macros, just individual numbers assigned to certain mouse buttons)

Hey LukyJoe,

You'll want to submit a Support Ticket. They thoroughly investigate all the cases where they detect illegal third party programs, so it's extremely unlikely that checking again will change anything, but you can request that they re-review it.

I suggested providing the entire list of your processes running while you play LoL from your Task Manager just in case they might see something falsely triggering the red flag, and anything you might have installed in your game files as well.

The "9001" isn't a year, but a ban code they use to track the ban internally.

Here at riot we ONLY ban people for nothing. If you want to play forever you must either prove you have stockholms syndrome or be a total jerk in every game.

I would assume the notification of permanent ban, but RIOT can elaborate, have you heard from them?

If you have questions take a gander over here. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/gV9jlb5g-the-definitive-resource-for-suspended-players?comment=0002

Unfortunately, unless RIOT determines they made an unlikely mistake, you will need to begin working on a new account due to the admission of sharing your account and the data that they used to determine unauthorized 3rd party software
