Account I've had for nearly 8 years was hacked and permabanned

Hey guys, I could really use some help with this one.

I've had this account with LoL since SKYRIM came out and I was in 9th grade. I don't play on it everyday, but it is a way for me to connect to old friends that I live far away from now. Imagine my disappointment when I go to log on and it says I was permabanned for cheating. I've submitted a ticket but I have no way of knowing if anything will come of it, and stories on here of similar situations don't seem to give me hope. Any ideas or suggestions for what I can do to get my account back? I already changed the password to an extremely long one.

As far as I know, Riot will just say "lmao get dicked"

Cause Riot's policy is usually that no matter who played on your account, YOUR ACCOUNT was in the end causing other people misfortune and/or cheating. So even if you are completely honest and actually got hacked, the fact that YOUR ACCOUNT ruined other people's games means that THAT account has to be banned.

Stupid rule, but there is a chance that this will be the response instead... so don't get your hopes up.

Still, best of luck to your account, and I hope you can get it back

So, when was your 14 day suspe....

Naw I'm just screwin' with ya mate.

That really blows. I know it can take a couple of days for support to address your ticket (regardless of what the ticket is for). Hopefully they'll get it straightened out. If the cheating ban was wrongly placed (i.e. by someone who hacked your account) they should be able to get to the bottom of it.

On a side note, I've seen other posters suggest it's bad to 'bumb' your support ticket, as it places it back at the end of the queue. So don't bump your ticket, wait for Riot to respond.

Good Luck!

I have had 2 accounts taken over by a toxic person who got them banned. I tried to explain this to the support team, but they werent trying to hear it. I had to regrind and make sure my stuff is extra secure and no more toxic got on my new account. You must do the same. GL in the grind.
