No reform card in the ban email

I haven't played league in over a month, and to my incredible dismay the first time that I can convince some peeps to come over to my place and play with me my account was banned, Thankfully my brother let me borrow his account, so the evening was not all in vain. (yes, not allowed I am aware, however he's my twin, we have a linked card on the accounts, and he was doing me a major solid)

My real concern is the reason for my ban, which was banned "due to the use of malicious 3rd party programs or modifications to your League of Legends client."

I'd like to consider myself an incredibly upstanding member of the league community, and have never gotten even come close to receiving a chat ban, or whatever is the lowest form of punishment that the tribunal offers.

Funny enough, my account was banned the day before I tried this little get together, so why was my account banned after nearly a month of me not playing at all? I mean, in the e-mail I was informed of simply the strict the reason but there was no "Reform Card" contained in the e-mail. How long is this ban for? There's no other information other than to the effect that my account has been banned.

The following is the entire email, minus the sweet Kayle splash art

Hello Summoner,

Your account: kamakazibubble was banned due to the use of malicious 3rd party programs or modifications to your League of Legends client. We believe that all players should play on equal footing in an effort to promote competitive sportsmanship. You should be aware that modifying your League of Legends client is against the Terms of Use: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/legal/termsofuse. We hope you can see that it is unsatisfying to play against other players who are using a tool to gain an advantage over others.

If you wish to dispute the actions taken against your account, you may contact us via this link: http://support.riotgames.com

So my real question is how do I proceed with a ban appeal, when I really am not sure what requited the ban in the first place. With finals coming towards a close, I can now finally get back into the wonderful bronze slugfest that I have been calling home. (no sarcasm)

This matter is actually quite urgent to me, as league is essentially the only reliable way that I have been keeping in touch with my friends since I moved off to college, and I really couldn't stand to lose that.

From what I understand, "3rd party malicious" bans are permanent. The intent is for you to contact Riot through a SUPPORT ticket to get it resolved if there was an error, or in the event that you have been hacked.

Here is a list of 3rd party programs that are allowed. If you used something that is not on the list it is likely you were banned for that, and may not get your account back.

Account sharing is also not allowed, as you are responsible for the actions of those that play on your account. If they installed cheating software on your account without your knowledge thats still your fault, since you should not have let them on your account to begin with.

If you were hacked, and they accessed your account without your knowledge or permission, then you might have a chance of getting it back. But keep in mind that account security is your responsibility, and if you have shown signs of being loose and free with your accounts security Riot may decide to uphold the punishment.

It shouldn't hurt to submit a SUPPORT ticket and ask tho.

If you don't get it back, and all you want is a way to stay in contact with your friends, starting a new account is allowed. You'll have to rebuild the friends list tho.

Well regardless , account sharing is prohibited and there was recently a huge ban wave earlier. I hope you didnt actually cheat or your brother because that would defeat the purpose of your statement you made. For the third party if you're using vpn or wtfast or any program used to help you get better connection or better play graphics could be the reason why in a small percentage.

Unless your family is the owner of riot games you cant share xD well you can but you never know what they will do to that accout.
