You've probably seen that title hundreds of times but.. I have played the game since season 1 and I have spent thousands of hours in the game, in game I always tried to calm everyone and keep them positive. But I got a little tired of league last year so I lent my profile to my friend (which is against TOS) but I trusted him, for the longest time he wouldn't tell me whats going on with my profile. At the beginning of last year's summer he gave it back to me only to see it permanently banned...

Ever since then my hopes for playing league ever again have died. I have written 2 support tickets to riot support, but to no avail they just tell me account sharing is bannable. And I understand that but isn't permanent ban a little extreme? To make matters worse I am in university now and my friends play league and I have to start all over again. Meanwhile some famous players have been unbanned even when they were perma banned.

I would never repeat my mistake again if I was given a chance. But I've lost hope by now my last hope is that I get some kind of help here, although it seems like I'm begging. I just with I could get my old summoner name back and play on my real profile again. My message to riot support if anyone is interested https://i.imgur.com/V9HXquJ.png

Thanks for your patience. Have a great day

Who? And bear in mind, ID-bans being lifted don't count - so Tyler1 is off the table.

All we can do is repeat what Riot Support has told you. Account sharing is against the ToU and is punishable by a permanent ban. You have the chance to not make the mistake again - on a new account.

We can't change Riot's policies. Next time, if you fall out of interest in a game, don't give your account to someone who's interested. Keep it to yourself - if that friend or whomever else is interested in the game, they can make their own account.

You won't be getting the account back. Sorry.

If you loved the account and played League for such a long time, you shouldn't have given it away knowing that it's against the TOS. Even if you didn't know that, there was just no reason to give your account away.

The best thing I can say is that you should be able to join your friends quickly if you make a new account. You only need to be about level 17 to gain full access to rune pages and stat shards. The next milestone is only 30 for ranked.

This story doesn't sound right. I feel like what actually happened is: You got bored of league, you had levels, history, and most importantly, skins invested. You sold your account to recoup some of the money/time you put into the account, it ended up going to a toxic/racist/abusive player who is buying accounts because they keep getting them permanent bans. You find out it got banned, and now want to recover the account, and sell it again because the previous buyer won't notice.

Or maybe some variation of the above events. Either story, you made a mistake, and you didn't feel like playing league anymore. If you want so bad you can start over, you're 7-8 years older than when you started league now, a few hundred dollars of skins should be a lot easier to afford.

Who famous player has been unbanned? Yeah, nobody

And account sharing is very bannable so yeah. it's a deserved ban

To be completely honest, y’all are acting a bit rude. He/she’s asking an honest question.

To answer the question, like others said above me, sadly the ban will not be reversed.

I wish you luck in your future endeavors!

Cheers!

7-8 yrs older that still makes him younger than most adults here.

This is exactly why it's bannable. Riot doesn't want to deal with "but my friend did those things" issues.

Whether or not your friend did something that got the account permanently banned, lending your account to anyone is an offense that will result in a permanent ban anyway.

Nothing to be done about it.
