Incoming "I got banned for 3rd Party App Usage for no reason!" complainers soon.

Riot just won a court case against a script/bot selling website and got the list of its entire registry of users as part of its requests.

The $10,000,000 was based off the predicted earnings from the subscription service (which ranged from $15 to $50 a month depending on how extensive of services you wanted).

This places its userbase at around 200,000-666,666 people.

For some reason, I feel like a lot of people will come here to complain about being banned for 'no reason' soon.

Well I just got banned after playing a game of Aurf mode, I was hoping by the thread title there was a huge bug or something causing this, but sadly just accusatory remarks.

Anyhow to clear the air, Yup no cheating here, EVER. I own every champion over the course of 3 maybe 4years now.... I don't play ranked, mainly just ARAM and the special events when they show up. the occasional random bot game and even more rare a pvp game with friends. There is no motivation to cheat as nothing I do warrants it, and feel free to review my match history. There is no point in putting my account at risk due to time/money spent. Yes I've submitted a ticket as of 15 minutes and have to await the outcome. Definitely ruined my evening. I just hate getting lumped in with the fold.

Nothing out of the ordinary for PB&M. Scripting ban waves happen all the time. Didn't know they got a list of registered users though, that's interesting. Wonder if they had to tie their summoner names to their forum accounts to get access. That would be really entertaining.
