Lil Yachty?

Hi everyone,

My League of Legends name is UncleDiggy. I used to play very regularly (pretty much every day) but recently took about a year off. Upon trying to sign back in I'm prompted with a message that says I have been permanently banned and somehow my user name has been changed to Líl Yáchty? I'm not sure if this means I've been hacked or what this really means. All I know is I log in with my user name "UncleDiggy" and it says I've received a lifetime ban and the name/chat logs l'm given all have this Líl Yáchty name? I've never even heard of that user name let alone have any clue what it means.. Anyone that could potentially shed some light on the situation would be of great help. Thanks for taking the time out.

p.s. I've never posted on the forums before so I apologize in advance if this thread is misplaced.

Sincerely, Uncle Diggy

Also I just realized I signed in on UncleDiggy for these forums and the name I'm posting on is Líl Yáchty?! WTF!

Yup, sounds like you may have a compromised account. Let us know if you hear any good news from Rito. Until then, smooth sailin', lil boat!

Just an FYI, support is going to be very skeptical of anyone who claims their account got hacked because SO many people claim it as an excuse to reverse a permaban for people being hyper toxic and it ends up just someone trying to fake it and realizing that Riot actually logs IP's of logins and can track purchase histories.

Based on cursory review, it doesn't appear as though your account (not necessarily you) took a year off from playing league.

Based on your ranked history, there was no break in play between seasons. Your first rank appeared in season 4, you had one in 5, and 6, and 7. This history appears when I search for UncleDiggy and for Líl Yáchty.

Based on your match history Riot keeps, it appears your account was banned on July 20, 2017 as that's the last match that appears on your LOL match history and goes back into 2016... only showing a 4 month break at the beginning of 2017.

If you had IP's change during your login, you would have most likely gotten a shield ban to protect your account. If you didn't get a shield ban, it probably means they didn't find your login activity suspicious and you may not get your account back. They'll also probably check on when your account name changed as they keep track of in game purchases, including name changes.

Wow, thanks a lot for the replies guys! Just saw your match history link and as you can see the last day I played in February 2017 was on the 5th. (About a year wasn't sure of the exact time frame and you can see UncleDiggy is my name!) Then on 06/13/2017 somehow this Líl Yáchty name began appearing and is playing in these matches after that date. There HAS to be a way where they can view the IP discrepancies between the two I would think and be able to solve this issue. Either way this is a pretty scary situation as I've purchased things with this accounts and have all my information on this account. Any idea as to why people hack into certain accounts? I mean I'm just a regular recreational player, why my account and not some plat/diamond player? Any feedback is appreciated, thanks a lot for all the help already!

Ahhh! Also just noticed when I went to view my account on these boards to try and see what email address I used for this account I see some weird "******[email protected]". I don't have a single email address like that (obviously) and wtf is @163.com!? This just keeps getting worse and worse, any idea when I should hear back a response from a support ticket? Thanks again, sorry for all the questions I'm a noob!

It looks like a chinese website. If your email address was changed and confirmed, it may be that your email has been hacked as well. It may be time for you to start changing passwords and making them stronger.
