Punished for One Tricking

TooMuchDog··2 votes·3,481 views

Hey everyone,

So I recently logged into my League account to find that I had been banned for ELO/MMR boosting. This is extremely frustrating for me because I have never purchased a boost (first of all I cant even afford a boost) or even had a higher ranked friend log in to get me to a higher rank (especially after putting in work and finally climbing to gold for that victorious skin). The punishment I have received is a 14 day ban as well as my honor being reduced to 0 and my season rewards being stripped from me. This is also a strike against me that leads up to a permanent ban.

I have been playing league for a few years now, starting in bronze and making my way to silver and finally this season I made it to gold. I had taken a long break from league during the summer (moving to college and visiting family and adjusting to college life) and finally started playing again. I found a lot of success in the mid lane with Lux and decided to one trick her so that I could make it to Gold. I was able to quickly climb from my previous silver rank up to gold and I was ecstatic. I have also continued to climb since then(up until my ban) I also play in two different locations: Johns Hopkins(my school) and Stevenson University (my boyfriends school).

I believe that my fast climbing as well as playing in (two) different locations (after having played in Germany for so long as my dad is in the military and that’s where I lived prior to college).

I have tried to submit a ticket to Riot Support in order to dispute this claim however, they only respond that their ban is not an error and that they have a plethora of evidence proving that I participated in boosting. I understand that they are not allowed to divulge information on how I became suspected/accused of Elo boosting (it would give boosters ways to avoid punishments) but I am completely innocent in this case and being punished for something which I did not do really sucks.

I hope that you guys can help make more people aware of my situation so that my case can be reopened and investigated and I may be proven innocent of boosting.

Thank you, TooMuchDog

PS: I am able and willing to provide any additional information to help my case :)

Edit: I’m not sure if related but I was able to play on really nice gaming computers at Stevenson which may cause my play style to be a bit different (very high FPS and good internet compared to my normal laptop and college internet)

But the only thing the board is now aware of is that you were banned for boosting, you argued against your ban with support, and support confirmed that the ban was not in error.

We can't see whether or not you were boosting first-hand. All people on the board can do is either trust your claims of innocence, or trust Riot's double check. In both cases it would be based on very incomplete information.

I’m just trying to raise awareness because I truly am innocent, I’m willing to provide any information to defend my case and gather support I’m just not sure what to say.

And we should consider how presumption of innocence works. I heard it's a good concept that is often violated, which leads to injustice.

Thus, I am siding with OP.

If they were banned for boosting, they were essentially already found guilty. OP is attempting to appeal the decision (again).

Just as always, I do not see any concrete evidence of that and Riot has a history of stating that they have evidence of violation, when they don't.

You could say "hey, but if they share evidence, someone might use it to work around the detection process" and I would answer "Improve your detection process then, because inability to appeal or clarify the situation is unacceptable and potential for abuse is too high".

I think you're underestimating how much of an uphill battle it constantly is for any game company to detect and punish cheating efforts.

From the perspective of Riot, why should they be revealing their detection method if they are sure that it's correct? It's not like the person cheating is unaware of cheating or that it's something that might not be allowed. So they would be proving something that both parties already knew, only to their own detriment.

Just like in real life investigation and prosecution. The evidence has to be public to appeal it.

Because they can't be sure. If someone is not acting like an animal and is providing good counterarguments to your arguments, like plane tickets, you lift the bloody punishment. But it can't happen if the person in question has no Idea what your evidence is. Maybe it latched onto my new laptop and I have access to both. Maybe they say you change your gaming pattern so you can write a video playing with that exact gaming pattern, explaining how and why you did it. Maybe it's just IP address change so accusations are completely ungrounded and punishment has to be lifted without further proof, but support specialist has a spoon stuck in his brain.

I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve kinda accepted that I’m not going to get unbanned or even have a second look given to my case, but you have no idea how good it feels to have someone who actually believes me/doesn’t automatically assume I’m guilty. The situation as a whole is really shit, but thanks for not assuming I’m guilty just because I got banned.

I understand the reasons why they do not want to share the evidence, so I’m not asking them to. I just want them to look over my case and I am willing to provide any information necessary just so that I can prove that I am innocent.

I’m trying to appeal the decision because contrary to what riot believes and whatever evidence they believe they found, I did not participate in boosting.

so you were silver 4 all season then all of sudden over the last month you go from silver 4 41 lp to gold 4 0 lp and during this time you have a 71 % win rate on Taliyah and a 67% win rate on Le blance and a 75% win rate on lux

it just seems fishy

I just didn’t play for a vast majority of the season, that’s why I was at Silver IV

MrFawknSunshine3 votes

yet you go from silver 4 to gold 4 in a month ? when you never been gold before nor climbed that high or fast before.

and you do it with 67% win rate + on 3 champs ? when you cant duplicate that on any other champs?

and those champs in higher elos arent above a 52% win rate ?

im not here to say you did or didnt i said it seems fishy enough that riot reviewed and based on their system to analyze your games and habit, clicks per min etc determined you either had someone else play on your account or scripted. hence why you got banned. you can submit a support ticket to riot to dispute it and ask for a review and try to explain how all of sudden you did this and see if it was a mistake but most of the time its not.

Yea I understand how it may seem to you guys I just really am innocent and am trying to find some sort of support or sympathy for my case, because it is really frustrating. I came to the boards after getting the same/very similar generic response from riot support. I really want to prove that I am innocent and hopefully get the whole situation fixed.

Also, as I did it this season I am confident I will climb just as I did this season. I am hoping to get this fixed so that I don’t get in trouble again just for playing the game.

MrFawknSunshine2 votes

well considering that you stated you already contacted riot support and they said it was legit there isnt much you can do.

just keep in mind that since this is a 14 day ban typically the next punishment for an infraction is permaban. so going forward for a good amount of time/games dont do anything that can or could be perceived as being toxic/breaking TOS

typically after a 14 day ban you are flagged as a "problem player" and the slightest legit infraction/report could lead to permabanned. i have seen it so many times.

a good safe estimate would be 3 months / hundred + games with no reports that are legit til you get "unflagged"

Yea that’s kinda the vibe that I’m getting it’s just really upsetting that I’m getting punished when I am innocent.

You bring up a good point about being careful, but if I continue to play the way I have (how I normally play) then what’s stopping me from getting accused of boosting again? That’s honestly my biggest concern because it feels useless trying to refute the claims :(.

MrFawknSunshine3 votes

well what is fishy you go from not playing to climbing 4 divisions and 1 tier in a month. when before you didnt show that kind of "skill" let alone the history of your rank stats show you never played taliyah or lb and have a 70% win rate on them let alone the win rate on lux. and not only this but you did this a month before rank ends when they announced end of season rewards which you cant get the victorious skin unless you are gold or higher with no account bans/punishments (min of rank 2 required ) could it be an error on riots end? most likely not.

just a silly question you say your BF plays what elo is he ? was he higher then you before you got to gold 4?

but riot dont just look at win rates but they also look at habits of a player, clicks per min , and other matrix of data to determine this.

and going forward will only prove if you were wrongly punished or rightly so based on your history with the same champs and elos and how you fair in the game next season.

Well if you look at my taliyah and Leblanc stats, I am definitely not very good at the champions (specifically Leblanc) I just managed to get lucky in my games. Taliyah I did play quite a bit and Leblanc I played pre rework and since her rework was reverted I tried her again. Neither of those champions were very critical in my climbing though. I know it might seem like it but it is riots mistake in this case. I would be willing to let them comb through my entire match history and look at how I play and where I play to see that I am not lying.

I’m not sure why it’s important info, but yea my bf is actually Plat right now (trying to get to diamond).

Yea I’m hoping that next season when I play just as well and am gold again that I can go back and prove to them that I did not boost rather than get banned for being “boosted” again (I do not know if it would actually do anything for me though lol).

MrFawknSunshine4 votes

you have a 67% and a 71% win rates on those two champs

for not being very good on them.

out of 3 champs 72W - 26L for a 74 % win rate Lux Leblanc Taliyah

and out of all the other champs you played in rank all season 52W 79L for a 40% win rate

the more and more i pull and look at stats the more and more im near certain you had your bf play on your account to boost you.

I mean he doesn't play these champs and he did not play on my account.

Look at my kda/matches with them and you'll see that I didn't do significantly well with either of them and I played less than 5 games on Leblanc and not many more on Taliyah so the winrate is skewed. The only real champion that I have done well on is Lux and that is because I one tricked her.

17 and 12 games on those champs

17 and 12 games on those champs

The majority of those games were not recently, then. I think I played leblanc less than 5 times and I don't believe I played Taliyah at all(during my climb to Gold).

Also, if you look at my match history as a whole, I think it's kinda clear that I wasn't boosted because the games are very mixed and I don't do too hot when I am not on Lux.

One more thing, I have continued to climb even after reaching Gold so I think that shows that I was not boosted because I am not stuck at the bottom of Gold 5 0 LP.

Last season you were 6W 17L on Lux averaging 7.5 deaths a game with a sub 2KDA playing in low silver but this season you're 52W 17L averaging under 5 deaths a game with a 3.4 KDA on Lux? Wild

Tbh Lux is mad easy and the cs is pretty consistently bad so meh, I don't have the hardest time believing its you but...if Riot banned you for eloboosting they have already thoroughly investigated your account.
its also very suspicious that you literally haven't played a Lux game in 5+ months then you suddenly just go 52-17 in the elo you were stuck in for 3 years.

I took a long break from League, then when I came back I found success on Lux (wasn't just not playing lux for 5 months). I'm not sure how they could thoroughly investigate my account and find that I was boosted when I wasn't.

z14GaKI7TO1 votes

Unfortunately if you don't have much more substantial evidence other than "I didn't do it" there's more or less 0% chance you're unbanned. Every single person whos posting on the boards about an eloboosting bann has very clearly been boosted. Also 52-17 isn't "some" success. You went from hardstuck low silver for 4 years to taking a long break then jumping straight into ranked to go 52-17 (and since midseason you haven't played a single non-ranked Lux game so its not even like you played her in normals a little bit before going into ranked.)
Riot has every tiny little bit of information to use to determine whether or not someone has been boosted (APM, keybindings, tendencies, location, when you play etc.)
I'm not saying you're 100% boosted because I don't have enough access to information to guarantee that but odds are stacked against you. Even someone logging onto your account to play a single game, win or lose, can make you eligible for a boosting ban. GL if you're actually innocent.

Do you have any ideas of what sort of evidence I can provide? I am innocent and am willing to show Riot/the Boards any of the information that they deem necessary to prove that I did not boost.

So far, though, it just seems to be my word against Riot's and we know how that will work out. It definitely does feel like the odds are stacked against me, but thank you for wishing me luck.

z14GaKI7TO1 votes

I honestly don't really know. Riot has literally everything they would ever need. They know every IP the account has ever played on, they know what IP each specific game was played on and they can tell APM averages between games. They have literally every piece of information they could have.
I don't really know what they do to assess a boost if the IP hasn't changed or hasn't changed often. If you only played Lux at "school" and everything else at home then it would be pretty easy for them to assess it as a boost. If you played every single game at home on the same PC then it's a bit harder (I'm pretty certain they can tell if the PC changes as well so again if every Lux game is on a laptop but the rest are on a PC then...)

Even giving you the benefit of the doubt that the Lux games were actually you I mean... I suppose you'd probably play better and be more familiar if the champion is one you were comfortable on (you'd know roam timings, your lethal damage etc) but that wouldn't actually affect your gameplay too much. You'd still have similar APM/clicks in lane/throughout the game.

Honestly idk if theres anything you can do unless you keep submitting tickets asking for another manual review but I don't think they will. They seem to be very careful with boosting bans and I haven't seen them be wrong (though its obviously possible)

Maybe @mirageofpenguins could shed some light. I...have no idea if its actually possible to tag people on the boards.

Support is rarely wrong. If you are lying, I suggest not continuing, all that can happen is an escalation of your ban.

Have you tried speaking to a live chat representative? Maybe you changed IP addresses while playing League for some reason, did you go on vacation?

Yea I’ve been traveling as well as regularly playing in two different locations.

How do I speak to a live chat representative? I was trying to figure it out but I’m lost.

TryhardDesperado2 votes

Live chat only works from 1pm-9pm PST (daily). You might need to pick a certain kind of support ticket or the "Start live chat" button at the bottom will not appear. Be sure to be patient and polite with the support team while firmly holding your stance that you did not partake in eloboosting services or the like. Lemme know if you still have a hard time getting live chat to work, wish ya luck.

btw for anyone saying its pretty suspicious to go from a low rank to a high rank after being "hard stuck" for years and blaming this dude/dudette for "being suspicious", that's not cool. I personally didn't put >50 games in any solo ranked season other than this current season and after ~300 ranked games I managed to get to p5 from like s1 or something, even picking up jg kayn as my main from g1 up because it was easier to climb (although i did hit gold something on my other account and gold in flex on this one last season). I understand the reasoning behind wanting to question op's claims (because who knows if op is really telling the truth or not) but I think the best thing to do in this situation is have good faith and send op in the right direction. Try to be helpful instead of being apologists.

god speed op, i hope you get your account reinstated with full ranked rewards, and grats on gold.

Hi,

Thank you so much for your help and positivity. It's really refreshing to see after all the negativity I have received for this post.

I am really hoping that I can somehow prove my innocence to Riot and get my account restored (I was so proud of making it to Gold). I also understand people's skepticism, but I am 100% willing to figure out a way to prove my innocence and give information that you guys think is necessary.

Thanks again.

I find it super interesting that you managed to not play Lux in over a year and starting in Mid-October close to the end of the season you suddenly happened to pick her up and managed to do super well in every single ranked game thus getting you gold.

You can't do good on a champion you don't have mental tuning with and muscle memory with. Unless it's dial-a-reset Katarina (no skill champ).

Sounds to me like you were boosting and using military service to try to make up some teenage bullshit excuse that you're innocent. I've been dealing with a LOT of kids (if you're in college you are STILL a kid) these days and one thing I learned is that they ALL lie. All the time, unless they are happy and getting what they want.

I’ve played Lux a lot already. I’m really not trying to make excuses I’m just trying to provide information that may be related to why I got banned. I did not boost in any way and climbed only through my own play.

First of all, you can't determine if somebody is an adult based on just age, there are a ton of factors that go into that and it's ludicrously ignorant to declare all college students "kids". Secondly, making a generalization like "all college students lie" is only possible if you are unaware of basic realities about the diversity of human beings. Finally most people lie for one reason or an other from time to time, so making a general statement that a person or another lies is about the same level of revelation as saying they occasionally read words. In this case, whether this person is lieing about not getting a boost cannot be resolved by just saying "must be a kid, therefore a liar", because that's a straight up moronic approach. Which is why people here looked at actual data, analyzed it in context and using that informed opinions can be formed. As in, given the data MrFawknSunshine provided I think, that yes, this account was boosted and Riot got it right. That's all the difference between making a judgement call and being prejudiced.

It’s a very hard thing to defend yourself against though. There is no information that riot has that allows you to prove yourself innocent and when I try to defend myself on the boards I’m not really believed. I really want to be able to prove that I was not boosted, because I worked hard for my rank.

Also, thank you for stepping up against people who focus on attacking me rather than my defense.

Well yeah, whether or not you got a boost doesn't matter much to me, but people posting shit like that piss me off to an unbeliavable degree. Not just because of the idiocy, but failing to recognize it as idiocy and actually posting it, thinking, "yeah, this is a fine thing to say in public".

They can totally see the location the games were played from. You aren't fooling anyone dude. They can see that some dude from Canada, or Michigan, or wherever the booster was from played those games. Dude came in here and smacked down some people for trying to sell this sob story just the other day. I hope he gets you too, you dirty booster.

They don't fully base it around the location though, as there are several people that play the game and move around a lot and don't ever have an issue. It's based around several other factors as well (like the speed of clicks, ability orders, champions played, ect)

That’s what I’ve heard and they say they don’t ban unless they’re certain but I am the only one that plays on my account so it’s a bit weird.

I didn’t get a boost so that’s why I’m trying to prove my innocence. Also hoping to get this resolved so when I play the same way next season, I don’t get perms banned(just for playing how I normally do).

Hm I’m trying to do this but I don’t see the option, I’m currently on my phone though so I’ll try on my laptop when I get home.

Thank you

Edit: Still not working :(
