false ban for mmr boosting

rayple syrup··3 votes·1,124 views

I have been trying to get some help on this, this is not a bought account or anything of the sort and have never boosted. In my previous threads I have made it aware I recently moved to a different state. I have access to all email accounts ever associated with my account and such... It is really not settling well for me to be wrongfully punished after my first season in gold.

They don't reveal their methods for detecting mmr boosting. You likely won't get any more information if you contact Support, but if you actually are innocent you can ask them to re-evaluate.

I got falsely flagged as well likely because I didn't play a lot of ranked this season but placed decently well...When going off to college causes your account to get suspended..sigh...not sure there is much we can really do.

I have put in a support ticket for them to re-evaluate because I am 100% positive if they do they will find they are mistaken. Problem is. I am military and move around a lot and think this is part of the problem.

I thought this looked familiar. I already mentioned that IP changes alone are not taken as evidence of boosting.

Idk what else "evidence" there could have been, I could imagine change of ip at least flags an account

Drastic changes in gameplay for one, especially when coinciding with an IP change. Changes in chat behavior.

There has never been drastic changes on any of those lol. All my friends are irl friends for the most part. And as far as gameplay, I was silver silver silver finally gold. If you ask me that's not a drastic enough change over 4 years lmao :)

Whether you get a good Rank off someone else playing or not is irrelevant. You could get demoted from Silver to Bronze, and if someone else was on your account that's all that matters.

I'm only telling you possible metrics they could be looking at. It could've been any number of things. They say that if there is any doubt, they will not ban the account. Did you ever get a response in your ticket that they will reinvestigate?

I had a response that somebody would be contacting me about it 2 days ago on my ticket

I wonder if the chat changes got me banned this time, because it's been a while since I got a chat restriction. They probably thought I was someone else

Also I do see a lot of threads of false bans going around. And from what I'm seeing there is little response from riot, I'm not saying this happened but flame me if you will lol, I play runescape as well. About a year or 2 back their botting detection system went haywire with a TON of falsely banned accounts. Maybe riot is experiencing a similar issue? Their ticket response is extremely slow right now as well. I know I've seemed irritated and unfriendly in my last few posts but now I just figure I should wait for a re-evaluation from riot. If they do find that I "actually was boosting" I don't care if they permanently ban my account because if this false punishment stands, honestly I'm opting out of the game lol.

Looking at your ranked history I did notice something. Early in the season you were playing around bronze/silver level with an occasional gold level game. On May 23 you played a game as Rengar jungle and you were playing that at a plat level. That alone is not reason enough for boosting, but most games after that May 23 game have been at gold/plat/diamond level play.
