I got permabanned, while my friend did not; Further explanation inside.

Hi everyone!

So yeah, by the looks of it, a ban-wave going out and i got banned untill Sun Feb 22 22:22:22 PST 9001 for using unapproved 3rd party apps.

Im not gonna straight up say that i haven't used 3rd party programs, because i have. Here is a list:

Plays.TV Overwolf Skin Preview (a custom skin program, that does NOT violate Riot's TOS) MKLol (which i did get a warning for about 5-6 months back, and of course i stopped using it after that)

Now you could argue that some of these programs are worthy of a ban? In my opinnion, none, apart from MKLol is, and that because it contains optional timers.

Here is the really weird part though. I have a really close IRL friend that i always play with. It almost never happens that i play alone (i don't enjoy playing solo) We both started playing the game at the same time, and we have both used all of the programs i listed, in the exact same time periods, apart from Plays.TV (only i have used that).

The thing is that my IRL friend never got that warning i got for MKLol. I, of course warned him after i got it, and he stopped using it at the same time i did. A couple of months passed, and i found the program called Skin Preview, an easy to use custom skin loader, and as far as i know, custom skins does not violate Riot's TOS. We only used Skin Preview a little while (1-1.5 months), because we stopped caring about skins.

As i mentioned, my IRL friend didnt get that warning about using MKLol, and to not much surprise, he neither got banned nor warned today.

Me and my friend have been playing this game for 3 years, and i have spent around 100$ on my account. In my opinnion i really think i deserve a proper explanation to why I was banned, while my friend was not. Also, If needed, i can ask my friend to confirm all this, if there was to be any doubts.
