There is a problem at Riot, banned for something I didn't do...

Let me start by saying I love Riot and I love League of Legends, it's always been my favorite game. But a few days ago my account, that I've put a lot of time and money into, was permanently banned for 'scripting'. Something I've never done. This is the explanation I got:

Tuesday at 18:09 Hello there,

The account in question was banned for the use of scripts. I hope you can see why it would be unsatisfying and frustrating to play against other players who are using a tool to tamper with the gameplay experience. We took action to protect the fairness and integrity of the Fields of Justice.

We have explained the context of your suspension, will not remove or modify it, and consider the matter closed.

Radkus Player Support Specialist "Who needs a map?"

Radkus was 100% sure: "Permanent suspensions aren't issued until we are very confident with the decision. As I've mentioned before we have thoroughly investigated and identified this account for the use . I can confirm to you that we have done deep investigation and there was no mistake in the decision taken."

So there are two problems I'd appreciate help with.

  1. Why my account has been banned for something I've never done, or even contemplated doing.
  2. How many other people are falling victim to permanent bans that are completely baseless. If it's happened to me it's happened to other people.

If someone could look into this problem I'd be very grateful. I know for a fact (because I know I've never scripted) that if someone were to look into this matter they would find an error. Looking at my games, or a simple replay of the game in question, it would be so obvious and if someone assisted in this situation they would not only assist me but also other players facing the same problem.

Thanks.

Changing flash once to try it, then changing it back, ok. Changing flash back and forth over many games? Highly unlikely, like near improbable.

You can always respond back to the ticket for more info. Not sure how much info they'll give though.

Not saying you did the following, but in case this helps, there are multiple things that fall into the "scripts" box including:

-using scripts during games -getting eloboosted and that person uses scripts because it's easier for them to win that way -buying an account (bought accounts are often leveled to 30 using scripts) -setting up macros (one button press that does a bunch of stuff for you in the right order -using a third-party program (like a skin-mod or viewer) that can have a malicious script running in the background

The chance of a false positive is very low. Are you using cheats for other games? Is someone else using your computer who would cheat.

It is usually more likely that people making these sorts of posts are lying than Riot being wrong.

I just checked your account. Theres no way youre using scripts... no offence but but a scripter wouldn't die as much as you have. Plus, you don`t even have any normal/ranked games in your current match history on op.gg. Its just blood moon, urf, and ARAM. So like... wtf?

Rito dun messed up.

Most boosters (good ones) keep their match scores close to the owner of said account to rise as little suspicion as possible. I've been playing this game for far too long and I'm telling you, I've tried to play with flash on F like 5 times didn't liked it and I haven't moved my Flash from D since.

So I don't buy the "experimentation" excuse. Plus, it doesn't matter if his match history doesn't involve a lot fo ranked matches, if you tamper with a game, it doesn't matter in which mode you tamper cause you are just breaking the TOS/EULA so, yeah.

I think those macros that spam chat or pings faster than possible are bannable for scripts
