I was banned for "using a 3rd party application"?

So I'm going to be as honest as I can right now, I have a few points to make but whatever.....

A few weeks ago me and my friend (just me and him) went into a game and started to do very very VERY bad.... we started to troll n shit and say some crude stuff to teammates.... after that we both got a 14 day suspension (we have never gotten suspended before). While we were sad, we weren't surprised, after all we were trolling and of course league is very strict on that, however it has been some time now and me and my friend are unsuspended. we have been playing for a couple days now trying to show we can improve our behavior and playing normally with a group we hang out with and try to move past the stuff we did.... however I logged into my account TODAY (after being unsuspended)....

"Hello Summoner,

Your account: (u don't need to know lol) was banned due to the use of malicious 3rd party programs or modifications to your League of Legends client. We believe that all players should play on equal footing in an effort to promote competitive sportsmanship. You should be aware that modifying your League of Legends client is against the Terms of Use: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/legal/termsofuse. We hope you can see that it is unsatisfying to play against other players who are using a tool to gain an advantage over others.

If you wish to dispute the actions taken against your account, you may contact us via this link: http://support.riotgames.com"

now I would not really be surprised to see it since we did piss off a lot of people in the game we trolled 2 weeks ago, but what I don't understand is why my account got unbanned and then, after 3 days of doing nothing wrong, I get reported for "using third party apps" to be frank I don't even really know what third party shit does... I know its like scripting/boosting or something like that but I have never even shared my account and never used any app to change the game while I was playing.... I am kind of confused of why I got banned for something (as it clearly says "using third party apps") when I just recently got unsuspended and now I'm out of the game iv been playing for 4 years for good...

I am kinda assuming maybe someone thought I was scripting or boosting someone?????? I would really like some advice.... I have already sent a ticket

I understand I was toxic and I accepted my punishment for that, however I don't like it when I get banned for doing NOTHING at all.... tried to be as honest as I can, I don't want people thinking I'm some super toxic piece of crap, i really am not...(believe it or not i main yasuo yes i know weird right lol...) but i don't want to be banned wrongfully just because some random "thought" i was cheating..............

If you really didn't use anything to modify the game files, I wish you luck in getting your account back. If you did and you're lying, then it'll stick.

It's probably people getting mad at you and reporting you for false reasons.

I've used off-meta builds (it was normals and I was actually trying to make it work, don't sue me) and gotten warnings for "malicious chat". I've been told by countless friends that I'm one of the nicest people they know (this is their words, not mine). Heck, I don't even swear and yet I got these warnings.

Perhaps Riot should implement a system that only temporarily suspends people if they were sent traditional reports but only bans if they were sent a game recording of the instance.

I love this game, after I got suspended I really did legit try to improve my behavior from then on... but I don't even get 4 days as I get banned for some kid thinking I'm boosting or scripting....pls rito help lol

Judging by a recent Riot response, this ban wave targeted a common scripting application used by boosters. If you used any form of boosting service you can probably safely assume that was the cause.

(This is the only acceptable response according to Boards moderators that told me I am not allowed to publicly lambast cheaters)

Obviously a horrible mistake was made and I hope your ban is overturned. You are obviously an upstanding individual in the community and an invaluable asset to the game. Yay cheaters.

My account got permanently suspended too. I never used any third party. They just grabbed like that. Without evening telling me any details ( they said they couldn't provide how they find it out --- of course u can't because I never used anything) at lest provide me which date and time and which game which champion( details)... nothing they did
