Banned for MMR Boosting

3 days ago I spent a whole day playing league and had an overall win ratio of 50% but my MMR was high enough to gain more LP than I lost therefore I had a slow climb. Finished the day at 99 LP and since it was nearly 4 am I decided to go to sleep. When I woke up I launched league like I always do but instead decided to play some other games due to not feeling league yet. Sometime in the middle of the day my league makes a noise and I click on it to find out I was logged out. Confused i log back in getting greeted by a Player Banned message. First time in my history of league I saw that and panicked thinking what did I do. Was I too toxic? The only question that went to my head. I check my email where I see one titled "MMR Boosting Suspension". I start to laugh due to me knowing for a fact that no one ever played on my account other than me so I submit a riot support ticket to quickly get unbanned for something I wasn't a part of. 2 days later (yesterday) I get a response saying that I am still banned after an extensive investigation. What?? What can I do to prove that I am innocent? Do you want me to tell you what happened in each game? What do I do? I despise boosters and always report them if spotted but me getting banned for it was just funny to me. Seriously, what can I do since Riot Support just basically had an automated response saying "you were banned for MMR Boosting cause you MMR boosted". Help

Not quite sure what got the account flagged. However, looking through the Match History of the account I did see something a bit odd.

During the week the account plays random champs and roles, but on the weekends there's long streaks of one champ only (unless the champ is banned that game). The only time the pattern breaks is during the summer, when the streaks primarily land on a Wednesday, and then it goes back to weekends once September comes around.

If you got an automated response, you're going to have to keep trying till you get an actual person to resopnd. But be warned, they usually don't care as much as you do. Make sure to be as logical as possible about it.
