Ways to get permabanned "by accident"

SonicAF·10/20/2018, 7:53:50 PM·2 votes·1,768 views

Hey there, me again to provide some info you might've missed.

There were wavebans for custom skins because some of custom skin software could be used to cheat(timers/camera). https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/hrqUOmAM-i-got-perma-banned-over-using-custom-skins

There is an IFS system which is not exactly obvious thing for many cultures and does not interact correctly with the ladder punishment system. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/ALsKWJcs-did-i-seriously-get-banned-for-this

There is a chance to get banned for no reason at all and get told to go fuck yourself, because they have evidence of you cheating, even though you never cheated. Good luck causing forum uproar in that case, because you are not getting your account back in this case by writing to support. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/tips-tricks/RE7XxFM8-dont-use-this-sion-ult-mechanic-or-youll-get-banned

You can get locked because you travel and fail to prove that you are an account owner, because proving that you created the seasoned account is virtually impossible, without writing everything down a lot of information on account creation. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/wnGjqtEd-did-i-really-deserve-to-get-perma-suspended-i-genuinely-dont-get-it-i-want-your-opinions

You can get hacked due to lacking sufficient computer skills or getting new undetectable malware on your PC https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/EMAPTKbo-my-account-got-hacked-and-permabanned

Maybe it does happen by accident. Maybe you can't easily protect yourself from losing your account in any situation.

And Riot reserves the right to ban your account for no reason in addition to that.

You're unusually willing to believe random people on the internet.

I don't doubt that mistakes happen, but you're literally digging back years in the past only to present people who CLAIM to have not been cheating. Everybody says they're innocent. Why should we treat these people as anything other than complainers rightfully caught but unwilling to accept their punishment?

100% Intentional

If the software can be used to cheat, and easily so, you shouldn't have it installed. No matter that custom skins is in the grey area anyways. You aren't guaranteed to not get banned for using them, and no one is claiming that you are.

There is an IFS system which is not exactly obvious thing for many cultures and does not interact correctly with the ladder punishment system. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/ALsKWJcs-did-i-seriously-get-banned-for-this

What do you mean it's not obvious for many cultures? For the vast majority of cultures, being toxic is considered a bad thing. In fact, I don't think a culture can actually sustain promoting toxicity for very long.

That link did nothing to explain what you meant by 'does not interact correctly with the ladder punishment system'.

Honest mistake. Sure he got banned, but that's only half the story. A rioter came in and unbanned him, which you conveniently left out.

The Rioter also said that they were actively improving the system so things like this wouldn't happen again, which you also left out.

And finally, this was 4 years ago. It's safe to say that things have changed drastically.

You can get locked because you travel and fail to prove that you are an account owner, because proving that you created the seasoned account is virtually impossible, without writing everything down a lot of information on account creation. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/wnGjqtEd-did-i-really-deserve-to-get-perma-suspended-i-genuinely-dont-get-it-i-want-your-opinions

Also intentional.

Is Riot just going to let everyone that asks into your account? No.

And it's not 'virtually impossible'. I just did this recently. You don't have to get all the questions correct, you just have to be able to prove yourself the owner of the account. And by the way, the guy you linked actually tried getting into an account he didn't create, with the question he was able to answer. Making it so ofcourse they wouldn't ask him those questions again.

'I swear dude, this crazy thing happened. I was just playing a game, and I went to get some water. While I was gone, my cat JUMPED on my keyboard and wrote to the enemy that they should kill themselves. I should have installed PawSense™'.

And even then, you only have to do the bare minimum to keep your account safe. Keep windows antivirus up to date (which it does automatically) and don't give out your password to anyone else than Riot. And put the tiniest bit of effort into making sure that you're actually logging into Riot.

Stop questioning our lords and saviors, the riot ban bots, before you get banned
