Wrongfully banned, I think my account was hacked.

My summoner name is FancyBirdNA, here's a link to my op.gg so you can see my match history for yourself: https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=FancyBirdNA

First, I would like to state that I'm a full time college student at the University of West Florida, and have been playing League of Legends casually for about four years now. I have treated the game like you would any other hobby, casually and with friends. I have one chat restriction on my account record, but that was because I was repeating what someone was saying to me in an ironic way LiKE tHIs (insert spongebob meme here), and may have repeated him calling me the R-word. Way to go, Cody.

Now as for the ban on my account, it was stated to me in my report that I was banned for using third party programs, though I have never downloaded anything to affect my gameplay in the entire four years I have been playing. The last game I played on my account was the Urf Warwick game, where I went 13/9/7. As you'll notice from my match history, there are three ARAM games after that one. I did not play these games

I have never given out my LoL password to anyone.

I believe that I may have been hacked, and this would make sense, seeing as how the games are ARAM games and that gamemode is used a lot with bots and what not for leveling accounts (even though my account is level 192ish). I am unsure as to what happened, but would gladly like some advice from anyone in the community if they have any. I have spent roughly $3,000 on this account, and really don't want to lose it over something like this. I have already thrown in a support ticket to Riot and am waiting on a response from them hopefully sometime soon. {{summoner:50}}

Sounds like you've taken all the necessary steps. Know that your situation isn't unheard of and a fair amount of people have gotten bans removed when they were in a similar situation.

Here's a thread I made a few days ago that has links to three other cases. One of the commenters even had the same problem but have since then started playing again.

This is happening a lot lately, send a polite support ticket requesting investigation into account theft. A number of people have had their accounts restored after providing information.

All you can do is wait sadly! I'm sorry to say that but myself, and hopefully the community, wish you best of luck on your account! Good luck in university as well!!
