edited: djinn had some good insight onto what can go on with accounts being hacked.
considering the account was perma ban before for just reasons (I was indeed toxic) It seems I was simply hacked or something along those lines. This DOES make a lot more sense to me. I just wasn't aware that its how the system works.
I am 99.999% confident that Riot does NOT use banned accounts for personal use, and that 0.001% is only because it's not fully possible to predict what an individual person may do.
Without seeing more details (why you were banned, what error you get on log-in, what messages you get when you attempt account recovery, etc) we can't really say more, but there are a few possibilities:
Jumping immediately to insisting that Riot is using banned accounts for personal play seems misguided at best, especially since every Rioter that I know would MUCH rather play on their own account and earn things there.
Send in a Support Ticket if you're curious, and someone may be able to help you.
Doesn't a namechange open up the name for general use again? So new accounts can pick it?
seems fake if its removed.
Do you have an email explaining the ban? Because this sounds an awful lot like a stolen account being returned to the original owner.
Lol thats an idea. They should hold auctions on permabanned players accounts.
You know how much money a tyler1 fanboy would throw at you for his account.
Can you copy & paste your text here? Sounds interessting
