So i just want to start off by saying i am not banned. I have never been punished in anyway. However i am concerned about an event that happened to me today.

So a long time ago. I found myself getting very frustersted with the state of LoL and i was becoming toxic. Rather then risk my account being banned i took a very very almost half a year to a full year long break to cool down and collect myself. Recently i started playing again and i find my behaviour has improved alot.

However today i got a strange e-mail from Riot stating my account was banned. Whats strange is my account is not banned (not yet anyway) and the name of the banned account in the e-mail is completely different then my summoner name or account name.

Did i maybe get a ban e-mail that was meant for someone else? Or am i about to be banned? Should i be scared? Not sure what to do at this point.

What exactly does the email say? Kinda sounds more like someone is phishing for your login info.

Its not really asking me for my log in info. Apperntly it has to do with 3rd party programs. Here is what it reads.

Hello Summoner,

Your account (account name here) was banned due to the use of malicious 3rd party programs or modifications to your League of Legends client. We believe that all players should play on equal footing in an effort to promote competitive sportsmanship. You should be aware that modifying your League of Legends client is against the Terms of Use: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/legal/termsofuse. We hope you can see that it is unsatisfying to play against other players who are using a tool to gain an advantage over others.

Again this is strange. The name it lists (i did not post it because i dunno if thats naming and shaming) is no where close to my account or summoner name at all. And to this moment my account is not banned. And i can promise i do not cheat lol.

search the name up and add them as friend, then send them this message and then tell him/her to post a board page for asking.

there was a case where a beta player got falsely banned for sharing irl information, but the rioter who banned his account mistook an i for an l in his name. its possible someone has a similar email to yours

This is what i am thinking happened. I dunno its all so strange. I am just gonna let it go and pray i dont wake up to a banned account.

Thanks to all for the help none the less.

I'm upvoting just for breaking up your wall of text into readable chunks using the enter key...

maybe you registered multiple accounts to that one email and forgot?

your email was hacked?

Run your email through this web site:

Sounds like you got an email intended for someone else. If you log in one day and find your account banned for some reason, remember you can always get the best answers directly from Riot by submitting a ticket to Player Support!
