Hello I got an email last night after playing a few games that i was banned for using 3rd prty programs? I sent a support ticket but has this happened to anyone else it seems very random considering I havent downloaded anything lol. I dont expect any Rioters to read this but I dont undeestand how the game detects things like this it seems bugged.
EDIT: I GOT UNBANNED THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
All you can really do is wait on the report ticket to see if it was a mistake or not. You probably know whether you've done anything or not but if you haven't good luck with the ticket.
If you bought your account from a website it was most likely botted to level, riot doesn’t ban bots right away they wait for a while and then send out Ban waves. Happens to 3 people I know in game ATM who all purchased accounts to use as smurfs. All banned “randomly” for 3rd party use this week.
Don’t buy accounts they end up getting banned anyways, in the unlikely event that it’s a mistake use the other players advice Only riot knows the truth, and if it’s a honest mistake you’d get unbanned.
i was just banned today for 3rd party, but i submitted a ticket and hopefully they see it was a mistake. Like, i can even think of anything i could have downloaded to come across as cheating or breaking the games terms and conditions.
Let's not bump old threads as doing so is necromancy which violates the Board Universal Rules. Instead, let's make new threads to discuss things. I'm going to lock this thread down now.

The time of ban doesn't reflect the time of detection.
They could have flagged your account months ago, only to ban you now during a ban wave. It makes it harder for the programmers to know what got detected.
i was banned a year ago for 3rd party usage. even if its a harmless program. i was banned for custom skins, they don't care. they told me i could be "possibly a risk" then i said, would you shoot anyone you thought would hurt you. They responded with "trust our judgement" i said fk off and listen. they don't care, if you cheated you cheated. even if its the slightest cheat, if it goes against the terms that they make you accept, then they're free to do whatever. All you can do is complain, make a new account and be bitter.
