Banned for using 3rd party apps but innocent

The only thing I use is Overwolf and I assume thats allowed.

I created a ticket and try to prove my innocence, because I do not cheat and they responded with:

Our system has accurate evidence that your account was in violation of our Terms of Use due to the usage of scripts, hacks, exploits or unauthorized third-party programs in the game. After I double checked your account, it doesn't look like this was a mistake.

"For security purposes on our investigative methods, I will not be sharing more detailed evidence or specific details. We will not be lifting the ban on this account under any circumstances."

I've really not been using cheats and to be accused of this, and to be unable to play the game I love. It makes me very upset.

Recently I played a couple of games, one was against a rioter in ARAM, and another someone threatened to report me for having a bad game saying their dad works at riot.

So maybe one of those games is the cause of this because I haven't been cheating!! I want my account back...

Does anyone else use your computer? Does anyone else play League on your client? Does anyone else use your account to play League?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then, there's a chance that software that uses scripts was in use during play. Even if it was someone else using your account, you're still held liable. Even if it was someone else playing on your computer and using said scripts, and leaving them active, could be all it took.

You just said yourself you use overwatch...a third party applicatiom. It doesn't matter what type of application it is or if its really cheating or not. It is against the rules and bannable.

You used it, broke the terms that riot puts out clearly so you were rightfully banned

Does Overwolf have any features that could affect the game, even if you don't use them? Jungle times, ability timers, ect.?

Fun fact, there was a player on here who got banned because he used a mouse that had extra buttons on it. They never did lift it.

From as far as I remember, one streamer also use "overwolf"

I personally don't think overwolf is against Riot ToS (someone corrects me if I am wrong).

Just open a ticket, ask them nicely.
