I was banned for scripting / hacking? I would like to appeal.

First of all I love league and play it about everyday. This morning when I woke up and decided to play league and I saw my account was permanently suspended I was so shocked and saddened because I have over 1000 hours on it and love playing competitively. I believe I know why I got banned but I still don't understand. So basically about a month ago I wanted to see what scripts were like so I went to a popular scripting site called elobuddy. I made an account and downloaded their client and then I booted up their client. Then I started thinking to myself do I really want to do this? The answer was a huge no so I shut the client and looked for a way to uninstall the program. It didn't uninstall like a regular program so I just deleted but it was still on my computer and a few days later I tried again at uninstalling the client and I had to look up online how to uninstall it and finally got it deleted. I know that I cannot change my lol client and that is against the rules but honestly I did not think I clanged my client with malicious third party programs because I thought since I didn't use it ever it didn't change the client at all and I uninstalled just to be sure that I could just play league fairly like I realized I actually wanted to. So now that my account has been banned I'm wondering if those games that I just didn't have it uninstalled yet count as if I was scripting even though I wasn't using them as far as I know. If I can't play on this account anymore I don't really know what I would do for fun and if I made a new account would it just be banned because it was detected that I was a cheater on my main account? I am very saddened by this outcome to what I thought I had done the right thing by deleting the scripting software and I lost an account that I have been playing on for years while I was in my promos for gold 5.

I'm so sorry for you. If you think it is a malicious program run a scan with malwarebytes. I doubt it is. I think you should ticket riot support.

A. you thought about cheating in the game B. you actually downloaded the cheat program C. you PROBABLY used it once (maybe in a bot game or something) I dont see Riot unbanning you.

I also got banned today for this reason, however I have never been in touch with hacks of some sort

I was just banned today for the same reason. It said I used malicious 3rd party programs to gain an unfair advantage, I had just look at and downloaded elobuddy and then tried to uninstall elobuddy. I came across the same problems as you.
