Banned for something, not sure what, Riot won't tell me

StonePlatypus··4 votes·660 views

So I went to bed after playing a game of League of Legends after a couple of One for All's.

I wake up and get ready to play a game of League, but put on some music and get ready for it.

I get an email from Riot before this thinking that it was spam, trash, information phishing for my account password or information.

I actually go log in now and see I am perma-banned.

I put in a support ticket, and I am told I can be offered no information, and that there is nothing they can do about it, and that the account is justified banned.

How can this happen, I want information, I want answers.

I have not used anything to improve my performance, give me information, or otherwise put me in any kind of cheating privileged aheadness.

I can't even put my head around this. This is so confusing to me. I am upset, I am angry, and I do not understand.

I have spent over 1,400 dollars while on this account.

Limited Edition Project Skins, One Time Boarders, I even have the Ultimate Lux special Edition stuff even though I use it for glorified bragging rights when I play URF/ARAM.

There is no motive for wanting to ban an account that I have spent so much money on. I honestly think I might have spent more on Riot Points then my actual computer.

The only thing I can think of is that I have had problems connecting as of late, would that cause something like a false positive? It takes sometimes 5 minutes to load into a game.

Or could it be porn? I don't have the worldest greatest protection, but I do have Spy-bot and Ad-blockers.

Could it be an Ad-blocker?

This is literally my home, my LoL-account, my everything.

Season 4 till now. Earned Gold in every season besides my first.

Things I can never get back.

I need help.

welcome to the club of people getting banned for using third party apps they didn't even use!!! you're doing your part by posting about it on the boards hopefully if more people do it will be noticed.

#5 today. wait for riot to look into this. All the others today were for 3rd party programs. I think theres an issue.

Not necessarily an issue, they ban in waves so that scripters can't figure out how they were caught.

That said, yeah submit a support ticket and be polite, but persistent in asking for a manual review.

There isn't, they just ban in waves.

I'm pretty sure they all know why they were banned and act like they didn't do anything, like always.

I was banned and mine was overturned because they made a mistake. So no, that is not always the case.

Send in a support ticket and ask them for review. No one can help you on the board for this kind of stuff. Riot bans in waves and the new one was just done today.

The only thing on here we could do is confirm you didn't use any add-ons to your league account even innocent ones like skin modifiers. Also that you haven't shared your account in any way.

I did this too and they just tell you its classified info and to find another game to play so theres no point in opening a ticket.

Did you ask for why you were banned or did you ask for them to audit the ban to ensure that there truly was a third party software? The two requests are not the same.

asked him to audit and he said there was proof of a third party software but wouldn't tell me what or show me any proof so im like, frustrated cause i can't do anything and my accounts just GONE lol! i really truly did nothing haha!

They've made mistakes before so I would recommend checking back in a week a so. That being said since they started this every 2 week ban wave thing I've seen the program mess up only twice in 4 years. So not likely but definitely possible.

This is making my stomach sick. I know to be polite, but at the same time I am wondering how this could happen, how I have to deal with this. Thank you for your support. If you have any other advice I will listen to it.

They have no reason to ban accounts that did nothing wrong. You must have at some point in your account's history, used something, or even bought the account itself. With the magnitude of people complaining about their "unjust" bans, it's just impossible to believe all of them were mistakes. So we have no choice but to just not believe you. You happen to be the one case that actually was a legitimate mistake? Even though your post says the same things every other persons post says about being banned for 3rd party software. I don't know man. I hope if it was a mistake, you get your account back. But till then, I have no choice but to not believe you, and just be glad that Riot is getting rid of cheaters and corner cutters. (People who buy accounts)

The state of how things are right now I think Riot is quite capable of making mistakes. Of course you don't know if you can trust me but from my perspective I know what I'm saying is true, that I've had an unjust ban. So for you, you don't know what is going on, but for me I know that something wrong is going on. What I want to know is how I can do nothing and have this happen. That is the farkquacking thing I want to know.
