Yo, Rito, what are you doing? A bazillion people just got perma slapped for third party usage today, and that is only from what I see on boards while being at work... Most likely hundreds if not thousands more are out there not knowing what hit them. So what in God's name is going on?

I just want to confirm if there was a legit mass ban wave, or if its a bug in your system since alot of people are talking of fishy emails and whatnot.

can any red confirm?

So, a relatively large percentage of the most recent scripting banwave inaccurately targeted previous mkjogo users (a skinhacking application). It was definitely a bug, and we never planned to issue permanent suspensions for this type of abuse. ** As of this post, all affected players have been unbanned. **

Always practice caution in choosing to use client modifications. While we're not permanently suspending for mkjogo today, we're obviously not ever going to condone any "skinhacking" service.

That ban comes in waves, I believe. So every so often, a bunch of people come on and go 'why was I banned'.

Ban wave. Check Red tracker, you'll find posts.

Yeah, same thing happened to me, I didnt do anything wrong, but i was banned for using "third party programs". I tried to contact Riot about it, but they said they are 100% sure that im using "script". Too bad, i have my account banned forever for no reason ! I really loved my account tho...

I was permabanned , possibly for toxicity (?) but it was not made clear.

I cannot even log into my account and I got an email from Riot that my email registers as "suspicious or fraudulent". I hope it was an error.... but if I was legitimately permabanned I am okay with that.

I woke up today and also found that i could not log into my account and the message said i was permanently suspended. I don't script, i don't use skin hacks. I've actually purchased more than $350 worth of skins to date and I've played league since alpha and had this account since season 2. I would really like to know what is going on because i wasn't even sent a tribunal message of any toxic behavior like what usually happens when i got 3 day bans before. Please someone explain why my account is permanently suspended.
