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.

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)

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

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.

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
