Perma-Ban Banwave

I've lost multiple accounts over the past few months for supposed "hacking". I sent Riot my stream information, program lists, a virus scan (which did have a nasty bug on it, but I removed it), etc. Yet I keep getting the same copy and pasted answers.

In multiple Facebook groups I am in, I am seeing TONS of people saying their smurfs were banned, on Trick2g's stream, his most common subs were banned, etc. But Riot claims that they are 99.99% sure all bans were rightful. But how? A few other threads mentioned (though Riot refuses to comment on it), that Malware on your computer (viruses), can set off the detector in their automatic ban-wave system.

My girlfriend's account was perma banned for supposed hacking, but then later told her it was perma banned because of account sharing, when there are multiple threads of people claiming to have elo boosted and only getting 3 month bans, which is account sharing to its core. Why would an elo booster get better treatment than someone trying a champion on her account?

Curious to see what Riot has to say about this issue.

I've seen multiple threads of people posting on all servers this issue.

Lies.

Riot no longer issues 3 month bans.

Riot is run by uneducated kids with no real world "big boy job" experience and who are incapable of actually thinking something through. You know skills any working adult would develop in their first couple years working on projects? Not Riot. They enjoy repeating the same mistakes over and over again. (insert funny comparison here). I guess this is what you get when every year this game is run by kids straight out of school who just repeat the same mistakes their predecessors made a year ago. Not sure why I expect anything more from people. Our expectations are so low these days because of how terrible peoples quality of work is.

Same! Please upvote my post as I have upvoted yours! I know people that script but didn't get permabanned, yet when I stay good and don't after hearing stories like this, my account gets banned while there's doesn't? Insane.
