Perma banned for 3rd party programs, NO idea how this is possible

Mard··22 votes·1,908 views

I've seen a few other posts recently on this, and today, my account was banned for the same reason. The only program i could even possibly see causing this would be curse, I really need an explanation as my account has just been perma banned, no warnings no nothing. A quick look at my match histroy, and it is CLEAR i am not scripting, please, this needs to be lifted riot.

I am infuriated, me and my friend use curse for voice chat only, because skype always messes up. I can't fucking believe people are losing accounts for this.

skype users should be punished for cheating as well

There is nothing to do with league of legends except for league of legends on my computer, a quick look at the forums and you'll see a lot of other people got the same thing, this is garbage.

You just said the only program that would cause this is CURSE

^ that right there is probably what did it. What add ons do you use in curse? and don't say none cause you already said this could be causing the problem.

I use absolutely no add-ons on curse. I'm telling you riot is making mistakes. Look how many people have been banned in the last 2 days for this.

If you have 3rd party programs INSTALLED, not using, but just on your PC, you can get banned

not true,

The third party app is located and caught when riot data mines and sees another app running in the back ground of the LoL client. that's how its caught but again it can be any thing from a DPS gauge to a Timer keeper, to just a simple visual Aesthetics .

Everyone has 3rd party programs installed.

Got Isboxer, Tiny Task, Auto Hotkey, Logitech g910's Macro Software, Scripting software have yet to get banned...

But everything on a persons computer including Team Speak, and Curse is 3rd party... ** Question is why all the threads about people getting banned and whats triggering them are they legit claims?**

I am also using curse & Overwolf we see if I get banned ill file an appeal because I am clean <3.

Third Party obviously meaning RELATED TO LEAGUE, or programs League might think of as cheating, not generally third party like Skype, FL Studio, etc.

Use common sense man.

Same thing happened to me. The only thing I use is curse voice. All my friends use it too, none of them have been banned. I have nothing else on my computer that has anything to do with league, never have. This is a flaw on their end.

Well in riots defence they say no 3rd party programs. Curse and what ever the other one is a 3rd party program. It also creates a disadvantage against other people not using it. So yeah its a form of cheating. Minor one but cheating is cheating. And anyone cheating deserves permaban

You're forgetting the part where Riot cleared up the issues with Curse previously and later said that it's OK to use. While it's still possible a Curse update might have conflicted with the detection system and marked multiple accounts for it, Riot did say it was OK.

Riot says curse is ok in the forums. Yet they ban you for it, noob riot.

Its problably curse, If you use any third party apps, that re not approved then riot's ban bot banned you

ITs valid it sucks but its valid..

SO if you use Curse for the chat, Or for a Timer, add on, Or a UI aesthetics look or any thing DOESNT have to be cheating then yea you got popped for it.

Hey I got a random permaban too! Riot is on some bullshit. I can't believe this is happens omg to so many people. I haven't played in over a week and I got an email last night saying I was banned. Like wtf

Lexyy1 votes

Im sorry to see this is happening to so many people. Can they just say "Using curse is a bannable offense" and people will stop using it.

Wardie1 votes

I'm in the same boat. Woke up this morning to a permaban. I've never scripted and only use voice chat with friends. This is so incredibly frustrating.
