My account has beem perma banned for use of third party programs but I haven't used any third party programs and I have no idea what to do I spent a lot of money on that account and it's not fair that I have been banned for no reason

Please don't spam.

Someone already told you on the other post that your account might have been compromised and scripts may have been used. In that case, Riot is going to ban the offending account.

Also, your name is literally SCRIPT ACCT 01 which means this is either a bait post or you were legitimately hacked and had your name changed.

I look at this account, I see the match history. This person has never one-tricked in their life, suddenly after barely playing for 3 weeks (letalone months, they rarely play multiple games, and played under 50 games in 2018) suddenly, they hop on Vayne/Jinx, spam it for 19 games with absurd KDAs.

Nah. This doesn't look like the same person, if it is, they definitely changed for 1 day somehow.

If you look at my match history, you'll see I have absurd Skarner top lane games, but you'd also notice I consistently spam a champion for 10-20 games in a row. Did it with Ornn, Skarner, Nami, and Tahm Kench recently. That person, RARELY played a champ 2 games in a row. rarely played in 2018/2019 suddenly play a shitload in 2 days with an extremely high win rate.

I'm no marine biologist, but I think that behaviour is pretty fishy. If it's not scripting, it's a bought account.

Judgement aside, you're responsible for what happens while you're using your account. Even if they're viruses, third party tools, etc. that you didn't put there, you can still get in trouble for them existing. Keep your computer clean and free of shady apps, viruses, malware etc. in order to protect your accounts.

Hi everyone,

I just tried to log in my account, and the same thing happened to me. It seems my account has been banned for scripting. I am a casual player, I only play normals a few times a week, never downloaded 3rd party software, and I don't play any other games than league.

I wonder if there wasn't a bug with Riot's anti-scripting system, and that a large volume of players got a false flag ban. Hopefully that is the case, if it is we should get our account back soon.

If they don't reactivate it, I guess we could rebuild accounts and get them to lvl 30. The only thing is that if this kind of error happens and is not fixed, there's a possibility our account can get randomly banned in the future again.

As mentioned I am a casual player, so this situation is only mildly frustrating for me, but I definitely understand why somebody who plays intensely might be seriously upset by such a situation. Hope Riot solves this soon.

Following up on my last post, I just took a look at my match history and the two last games haven't been played by me. Looks my account has been hacked. I imagine it might be a widespread issue of leaked account credentials and that other players are affected by this. If it's the case RIOT will most likely be solving this situation shortly not to loose some of its user base. finger crossed (don't want to loose my nasus gentleman skin)

I noticed someone logged in on my account a few days ago, I just noticed today when trying to play with a friend.

They logged in and played one ranked game using Xerath and then a few games of URF with more champs I don't play and didn't own. Now I'm permabanned. My friend watched the replay and said it was very obvious they were being controlled by a script, maybe it's a hacker bot?

I haven't received a reply from Riot on my ticket yet. My account is about 10 years there is no way I would use a script after that many years and skins purchased.

Edit: Maybe they should look at what accounts I played ranked with since it was a placement match.

Edit 2: Support has confirmed my account was logged into and played using scripts by someone other than me. They made a rare exception for me in this case and lifted the ban on my account. Thank you to the team at Riot!

Its really easy to see that summoner name and think "well he's obviously lying because his NAME calls himself a scripter"

Lets just give the benefit of the doubt and say that his account was hacked. Theoretically. What are the steps of recovering a hacked account?
