Perma bann for no reason

flashed dead·May 18, 2016·6 votes·1,325 views

yesterday i saw an email from riot that told me : "banned due to the use of malicious 3rd party programs or modifications to your League of Legends client". i have NOT done so or anything alike. i also never cheated, nor was i toxic. I just got randomly banned and i dont know why. this was my main account that i had had for years and suddenly its gone..forever. And i had nothing to do with this. Has this happened to anyone else before? is this by mistake? or is there something on my client that i dont even know about? I want my account back, because i did nothing wrong. or at least i wish to know why my account was taken from me so wrongly.

have you ever shared it? Sometimes that's the reason behind these. Send a ticket and see if you can talk to someone about it.

For whatever reason, Riot will lump in 3rd party programs with account sharing. Account sharing is a bannable offence. I would still keep the ticket open, but just know it may take a day or so before you get a response.

Account sharing is probably the reason then. Riot has been cracking down on that a lot more.

when did you get banned? i cant help but feel there was a mistake in their system and that they banned some people without reason. i cant think of a reason why i would be banned..its not like me to be toxic and im usually a nice person, why ban me for no reason? cheating? I NEVER CHEATED..i did nothing to gain advantage in anything. my win rate is around 30% anyway..i play bad and i know it, if i had an advantage i wouldnt have so many losing streaks would i? This isnt fair...so many years and money spent on this account. I tried to be nice ingame and not flame, i play fair, im not toxic and this is what i get from Riot...how can Riot do this to me? At least wish they would let me know WHY?

Same thing happened to me too! Account i had for years gone! Even after i uninstalled programs months ago, i get a permaban yesterday for something i havent done in months. This is too frustrating, imagine it from our point of view. Being banned for something we already received punishment for and did not have installed is very unfair and unjust. Especially if its permabans

The same situation has happened to a number of people. Including an account of mine. I was able to contact player support, and was told as follows:

Greetings again,

This lock was actually due to a manual review of the account by a Rioter and wasn't a result of any action taken by our Instant Feedback system so that is why there isn't a specific reform card/email for this. Also for some extreme behaviors like intentional griefing/feeding it is very clear to the majority of our players that it isn't acceptable and is why these locks can be issued without any warnings.

Basically, even though the suspension of one of my accounts was via toxicity apparently, they are taking a better grip on preventing negative players from impacting games in a, well, negative fashion. If you have been suspended, it was because you had done something wrong. If you'd like to deny it, then go ahead. But you're banned, so may as well except it. [slayer-jinx-catface]
