I was falsely banned for MMR Boosting on my level 19 account

Ok so, first i'll start off by saying this happened around a year ago, but I recently came back to league and this was one of the accounts I had a lot of champions and skins on, so I really would like to get it back instead of starting all over. So, I got banned for MMR boosting on my lvl 19 account, "QQQ1035716423". Now, some of you may already be reacting like, isn't that a username elo boosters would use? And yes, now I understand that it is. However, at the time when I chose that username, I didn't know it was an elo booster name. Basically, this account was a riven smurf account I made. It had a few usernames before this one, and the reason why I changed it to this is because there was a high challenger riven one trick with a similar name. Did i know it was an elo boosting account? or related to it? not at all. I copied a similar name because my account was going to be a riven only account. Later on, I got banned for MMR boosting. How else can someone get banned for MMR boosting before even hitting level 30? I had to of been banned for my username. This means that it was false right? It can't be a rightful ban. Please, someone help me out, or if you work for riot, please look into this. I just submitted a ticket a few moments ago as well. Thanks.

Also, heres the op.gg to the account so you can see that it was only a level 19 https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=qqq1035716423

Update: I submitted a ticket and this is the response I got.

Hey there,

Sadly, after reviewing your account myself, I'll have to say that the suspension was justified and will have to remain. Our findings show that a third party played ranked games on your account, raising its ranking and MMR to a level you did not earn on your own. Due to your involvement with MMR boosting, a permanent suspension has been issued to your account and will remain indefinitely.

As you can see, they claim that a third party played ranked games on my account, raising its rank/MMR. However, I am clearly a level 19. Which means ranked isn't even available. This further proves my point. Is there anything else I can do at this point. They seem to be very confident about this...

First of all, don't lie to us. All of us know that QQ... names are meant to be boosters OR accounts that were on sale.

So give us more honest infos.

This is the message I received. How can I have been involved with MMR and rank boosting when I was a level 19 just playing normal games??? I don't understand this at all. It doesn't seem like there is actually a person looking into this...

edit: just realized this person said a third party played RANKED GAMES when I'm clearly level 19.

Yeah, if what you're saying is true, that's really bonkers. Maybe try posting in help/support if the person responding to your ticket doesn't realize what they're saying is impossible.

Your description of the events makes no sense... do you have any evidence to support your allegations?

What are you confused about? I thought I explained it pretty clearly.

Confused because your story makes no sense. Can you show a larger screen shot indicating that the support ticket is actually logged in from the account that is level 19?

Okay.... ookay... Okay.

What the actual fuck? I mean, I'm inclined to believe that there is more to your story than you are telling us, but at this point I want to know what that is. Upvoted and I hope for a red reply. I expect nothing less than either the mother of all smites or the mother of all apologies.

theres really nothing i'm leaving out. I was making a riven only smurf, and my username at first was "Squad goin up". Around levle 19 I bought a lot of boosts, skins,champions, and decided to also change my username to something riven related. I went to the op.gg best riven players in NA to find some ideas. I saw that rank one had a username like "qq1035716423" so I tried to see if qqq... would be available, and it actually was. Took the username immediately and thought it was sick. I didn't know it was related to elo boosting at all bro. Obviously, eventually I found out through reddit that all those usernames with qq in it were boosters.
