Wrongly Banned for MMRBoosting (Seriously)

I Jungle Rumble··7 votes·926 views
I Jungle Rumble - Summoner search results - League of Legends

I guess this is the same old story but my account has been suspended and all my season rewards removed for MMR boosting. I have no idea why this would have occurred. I have had my account since season 2 and have been the only person that plays it. I took a one and a half to two year hiatus and recently got back into the game when they introduced dynamic Q (I was excited to play with my friends because there is a group of three of us and could never play together since duoing in ranked was the only option). I started playing around Christmas last year and rotated playing top characters where i struggled to even get to gold.

Shortly thereafter Riot buffed Rumble, the character i had the most success with over my long career. I took the new Rumble top with mixed results. However, i eventually stumbled upon the strategy of taking Rumble into the Jungle. I had HUGE success with this. i shot up ranks and have achieved my highest rank ever (Plat 3) on the back of Jungle Rumble. I even changed my Summoner name to "I Jungle Rumble". I played Jungle Rumble every game i could, check my profile, i think the last 300 games are with Rumble.

Then around June I burned out on LOL a little bit and stopped playing for about 2 months (Overwatch, I started the process to buy a new house and had to move etc). My account decayed from mid Plat 3 to the bottom of Plat 4. Realizing this , i quickly hoped on and played a few games (which i won!) to stop the decay. However, i noticed my the quality of my opponents had not changed. I confirmed this by checking my MMR on op.gg. Op.gg states that my MMR is MUCH higher than my league level of Plat 4. This would makes sense if your MMR did not decay because when i stopped playing i was 75 LP into Plat 3. This is the only reason i think my account must have been flagged.

Can anyone with knowledge about the MMRBossting dectetion look over my profile and tell me if they think any of the activity on my account could create a flag for MMRboosting? This is very upsetting to me because this is the first time i have ever hit Plat and now im wrongly getting my season rewards taken from me. Ive had this account since season two, have sunk hundreds of dollars into it, and am a huge league fan. This erroneous ban makes me want to uninstall

The only advice we can give you is to submit a Support Ticket. Please be patient, as it could take a few days for them to get to you depending on ticket queue times, and don't bump the ticket or it will go to the back of the queue.

With the season about to end, it's possible they might've put in extra effort in a sweep of MMR Boosting flags that were raised earlier in the season. Did you at any point this season have a suspicion that anyone else was on your account, or have actual knowledge that someone was, or did you share your login information with anyone?

Thanks for the response, I have created a support ticket and I will make sure not to comment on it. As to your question, no, no one. I played on a laptop until about 2 months ago that i would take from my apartment, to my parents house, to friends houses and on trips. In June i built my own PC and have been playing on that ever since. I think my steepest climb in elo was between January and March where i progressively climbed from Gold V to Plat V over a 6 week period. ONLY play Jungle Rumble!

Look at my lolking profile, http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/22983396 , Rumble has been one of my most played champs since his release in season two. The reinvention of him in the Jungle is what set off my climb. Being able to influence all the lanes, ward the map, gank from far away with equalizer really elevated my game. I am no doubt a one trick pony, but i embraced that and really climbed elo. Its really frustrating having to fight to get what i fairly earned.

I can see were the system picked it up.

But, All ask you this. Annie is extremely easy to farm with, however.

Compare these stats for Annie, Verse Lux.

Riots match history and went really far back to find something that looks like MMR boosting. It was on 2/1/2016. All of those games look like you had a friend or hired someone to play on your account. Then you never touched those champions again. Lux is the one in paticular. The average cs is higher then any other Solo Laner's and the KDA is by far superior to any other champion you've ever played.

All the rumble games look normal, so i doubt its from that. But perhaps you may have done something in the past and gotten a late ban for it. I've heard of that happening, and I've had friends whom gotten their account banned for elo boosting a year afterwards.

Your MMR went from 1879 to 2008 from Jun 15th to Jun 29th according to LoLKing. You also have an odd 100% winrate and 8.2/1.8/12.5 KDA with Lux (as a jungle main) to boot.

If you didn't participate in boosting, then this is mostly likely what flagged you.

Thanks for the insight!

I'd be very disappointed if that was the "thoroughly examined" grounds for my suspension. Those six games with Lux were when i was still in Silver I in January earlier this year. I have 300 with Rumble at my current elo.

That period in June is when i got to my highest mark, Plat 3 50-75 LP, I was only playing rumble jungle. Do you happen to know of any website that has match history from earlier in the year?

Thanks again!

You could continually scroll down in your personal online match history, but most 3rd party sites won't have it that far back.

Seeing that you maintained plat for a while maining jungle should give you leverage that you didn't MMR boost and just belonged at a higher ELO at the time.

Remember that, however, Riot employees can't present you with how you got flagged or caught, they have to keep it secret so people don't try to find exemptions or loopholes.

Looks like you let a diamond rumble on your account to steal ELO and tried to create backstory of traveling to your parents house and having multiple computers that way.

No border 4 u.

As a Rumble Jungle player thirsty to learn. I would love it if you could point me in the direction of a diamond Rumble Jungle OTP. Lots of top Rumble's, not many rumble jungles.

As to the traveling, it is 100% true. I'm sure they can verify it with IP address checks. All these places are in the Miami Florida area.

I'll be honest with you. I don't believe a single word of your innocence. I checked your match history and Riot had a very good reason to suspect you from being Elo boosted.

Judging from your champion pool, you play mostly junglers and bruisers. You have an average of 45% win rate with them. That being said, you play NO mid champions. I find it HIGHLY suspicious that you have a 100% win rate with Lux on 6 games and Xerath on 1 game each averaging 170 CS and having 1.8 death per game.

There's nothing wrong with your Rumble games. But what you are trying to do here is give us a false road saying that you only play Rumble when in fact you're trying to hide your Lux and Xerath games.

As you will see those 8 games were in Silver 2. Obviously a player consistently in Plat can easily best players in Silver 2 with ANY champions in any lanes. You think that I was boosted 8 games in Silver and passed that elo by a large margin shortly after? That doesnt even make any sense.

Additionally if you got to my past seasons you will see I played tons of mid and bot. Not to mention in all those Rumble games a lot of them were MID!!

No, all I can see from your match history is that you're struggling to stay in Platinum which clearly means that should be in a lower division. Also I don't see any mid champions in your previous seasons on opgg.

In conclusion, you've played LoL since a while and it is not normal that your MMR has been going drastically up from 1879 to 2008 with that win rate.
