No reason ban?

I received this email: ''Hello Summoner,

Your account: arisawesome 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://eune.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.

But i have never done anything to my client except launching it once from 'Overwolf' yesterday?

malicious 3rd party program is a good enough reason for a ban.

These bans are typically done in waves. So the detection probably was something done in the past.

sadly riot will not give you proof ( most likely ) but you should try contacting riot support with your problem i will give you 100 - 1 that you wont achieve there anything but its good to try , if you are 100% sure its a mistake ( nobody ussed your account , you did not have some shit installed by mistake ) you can look for Riot Tantrum on this boards ( or for someone from player support on EUNE boards ) and ask them for your account and hopefully they will reply.

dont get your hopes high most likely no matter if this was a mistake or not your ban will not be reversed and you will achieve nothing.

Keep in mind its not just scripts that get you banned. Others that count as malicious 3rd party software usage:

Programmed keyboard / mouse Macros that help perform combos
Custom skins softwares especially MKLOL / MKMOJO / MOBALOL
Things that help increase your click rate
Purchased account from botting

There are probably others, but these are the ones off the top of my mind.

No never used something like that, only curse couple months ago and overwolf recently (yesterday)

Kei143Jan 30, 20171 votes

We can't help you here.

That's about all you're going to get. Boards can't help you if you just come here and say "but I didn't do it".

Go to the red tracker and find any rioter, and post on their threads, to get their attention

I noticed that this account is not your main, correct? Did you self level the account or purchase it(cause don't say you purchased it, big no no)

I have many accounts playing since season 1, 3 of them are banned for flaming but after getting 2 weeks here i have not flamed since, currently on one month without flame, so when i was banned i was like wth? i have not flamed since the last ban, and then i see this random reason, now this is my main

Magical PlayerJan 30, 20172 votes

3 prior accounts banned? this account probably is on the watch list( I believe to exist) Again go to the red tracker, and post on the Rioters posts, and see if they can explain it in better terms as to why you were punished

EdgeOfRealityJan 30, 2017

Watch list or not the only reason i ever get banned is flamed and i stopped doing it here i am muting everyone at game start recently i start using chat again but nothing extreme, pfff just when i reformed i get banned for invalid reason? what is this? ok thank you

I mean with 3rd party program hack its kind of hard to help. We as a community have no power. we can only suggest contacting support. But how do you prove you weren't using programs? you could have easily deleted the program before contacting Riot. The fact of the matter is that the detection found something on your computer that correlates with the League of Legends Client. Since Bans are done in waves it could have been something you did in the past that they were finally able to verify and punish. Then of course it could be that you bought an account which not only violate the Terms of Service, but are used for bots to make the account level up faster.

Ofc i have already contacted support, i googled my ban reason and found similar topics thats why i also created one, if curse if a 3rd party program then yes? but i had read somewhere on google that it was allowed now, and overwolf who i downloaded yesterday i saw it on dyrus' stream -.- so this ban is totally uncalled for

And how do you know thats the only thing that could have gotten you ban. What else is on your computer? People make similar topic because they want to get any type of information from Riot to make better hacks. Its the reason why they do not state what exactly gotten you ban. It sucks but i rather be safe than sorry. it could be a hell of a lot worse if they give out every information about getting 3rd Party Program ban because it would give the people who do make these programs a better idea of how the system works.

With that said it obviously wasnt Curse, or Overwolf. So what else could it have been?

How do i know? those are the only programs i use/USED for gaming -.- and skype. Exactly, what could have been? Nothing!!!!! i should get unbanned straight away, i lost my sleep from all this stressing -.- and i only get savage replies, i saw it on similar threads everyone is assumed to be guilty, i have been banned for flaming tons of times but i never made a thread i knew i was on the wrong, but now this is a nightmare. People are so absolute maybe even happy to see you/others get banned, but if you get something similar happen to you would you feel just? pfff -.- this community

It could even be programs you arent using. Just being on your computer can cause it to be detected. If you downloaded anything recently it could have had a virus or something. I know everything that is on my computer because im the only one who uses it. So if i had something weird i would get rid of it the moment i found it.

We dont know if you are lying or not. If you are someone who used a Program to cheat of course we would be happy because people like that ruin the game. If you truly believe it was done it error contact support till you get someone who can review it again. They'll know if you are telling the truth or not. Too many people come here to lie and get their account back, so you can see why people are hesitant when it comes to stuff like this because we cannot tell when someone is lying or not.

TBF, this is player behavior and moderation 90% of what comes here is people losing their account to the ban hammer and not accepting the reality of why 5% is some randomness that gets tossed into here from mods 5% is randomness that isnt removed from here

I try to not judge prior to reading a post, but I will admit that I come with a bias that when you post something here you did in fact break tos.

In your case, it sounds like you really didnt intend on breaking tos, nor do you know what triggered it.

In this case, im at a loss for words on which way to lean.

If you share a computer, ever log into another computer before? Maybe download a corrupt file? Maybe accidentally installed a skin/game modifier etc If you logged into a computer that had infected software or with scripts on it, you'd still be punished for it. Regardless of you knowing that scripts were on the machine
