Before I get screamed at by you guys telling me I'm a hacker and whatnot, let me plead my case. This was a long while ago and only now am I really salty about what happened. And I wish there was a way for players to avoid what happened to me.

So basically I used to play league all the time on this very account, I was kinda toxic and whatnot because I was an ass, chat bans n all. I feel bad about that but that's not the point. when I realized how i was behaving when playing the game I chose to take a break, a long one. During this time i was doing other things like working/schoolwork whatever. During a week break my friends invited me to play league and I said sure that sounds fun. Upon trying to log in I had noticed the message telling me the account was permabanned which seemed silly because I hadn't played the game or behaved in a way to condone a permaban.

I decided to do some research on my match history and noticed shortly after my break from the game my account must've been hacked/hijacked and the person playing was scripting. But the games he was scripting on were really weird because he'd have really good games or absolutely awful ones. I havent scripted before so I have no clue how it works. Sorry guys.

Obviously there's no way to be unbanned because regardless of me being hacked its still my responsibility to not share information(which I didn't ofc)

This is just a followup from my conversation with the support team who would accuse me hiring a booster or hacking myself. I created this thread to ask what can be done to protect players from this, because innocent players like myself are being banned from stupid stuff like this because this sort of issue falls into a category with no margins. If your account is suspended for cheating regardless if you did it the account is never being unbanned. To a certain extent I agree with this system. On the contrary I wished there were different ways to authenticate your account. I was completely unaware to the hacker being on my account and therefore couldn't actually change my password or email etc.

Worst thing is my minecraft acc got hacked too lmao, but I managed to get that one back FeelsBadMan

The reason I get so butthurt about this is if you are like me who spent actual money on the game buying skins upon skins and whatnot to have it taken away from another players agenda is disgusting, I would happily play on my other account and have my purchases back. The account had value to it which I will never see again.

Please Riot Games and the League Community please stop this crime. Id hate to see other players suffer what I did and many other victims do

had someomne hack my account once since i play everyday i noticed and changed passwords right then. Have had no problems since but i also change my passwords randomly. Im sorry if that happened to u bud and yes riot really does need a way for players to protect themselves against such nonsense.Ive spent more than 300 dollarss on my main account and id be pissed if it happened to me and the fact that riot doesnt seem to care about the players in these situations and offers no recourse for them is beyond understanding.We live in an age where anyone could be hacked at any time and Riot only response is to say to bad make another account and give us more money for the privaledge. Its a disgusting abuse of power if u ask me and agreeing to riot TOS and them having final say on anything and everything with no options for the acused is like agreeing to a deal with the devil and totally unamerican.
