Account Incorrectly Permanently Suspended for 3rd Party Malicious Activity / Modified Game

WarpSpiderX··8 votes·2,577 views

I have got to be the most vanilla league player.

The closest thing I do is bind your stock hotkeys to a G13 Gamepad and a Razer Mouse. No macros... no scripts... nothing!

Yes, forever ago I played around with player made skins, ran jungle timers, even had curse voice. But as soon as you guys brought jungle times into the game and there was a big stink about Curse Voice's Jungle Timers I uninstalled them.

The skins I stopped doing so long ago I can't even remember when because the community couldn't keep up with your updates and turnaround times on ui changes (bravo dev team)!

But seriously, I've got thousands of both hours and dollars in this game.

I love this game. I watch the streams, I go to the AMC events for playoffs and worlds, and I'm finally climbing!

Hell, I even love the community most days, and that's saying a lot because I was a support main for forever!

Most importantly, I am not cheating!

If you can tell me what triggered this, I'll uninstall the world to keep this account.

Please don't take away my account :(

I've not ran any 3rd party programs and I got banned as well. Literally 0 programs that even correlate with league. Zzz really hope Riot addresses this.

a lot of people just got banned for 3rd party applications. they usually wait months after they detect something and ban everyone at once.

I'm freaking Silver though, I've never done any Elo Boosting (where they'd use scripts) or account sharing.

True, but it seems like there is a slew of folks who run things like Overwolf at most, or nothing at all getting banned here. I'd really like to see some Red post on it to clarify.

Although I am very confident that Riot would not ban people unjustly... I would like to see a Rioter confirm that the people banned were indeed using third-party programs.

Huge sweeping ban waves likely don't have much oversight and just rely on algorithms / automatically flagged false positives

Edit: I was confident too, until tonight. :'(

My faith in Riot has not been shaken but I am hoping that you are the exception.

So many times before I have thought "Maybe this guy in this thread is innocent and Riot made a mistake" ... literally 100% of those times, Riot did NOT make a mistake and the person in question had actually violated the rules. Literally every single time. So I am hoping you are the first exception but I can't say I have much doubts about Riot's decision.

You cannot have "video evidence that you were falsely banned" , you cannot prove that unless you literally recorded a power hungry Rioter that rage-banned you for undisclosed reasons... if you do have that, I'd love to see it but I know you do not.

That being said, I have very high faith in Riot and doubt they'd unjustly ban people. I was perma-banned once and I deserved it 100%.

If I was using scripts like they accused me off you would clearly see these scripts in my video

Suspended you say, just wait till the suspension is over then

WarpSpiderX2 votes

That'd be awesome, except the email and login prompt says "Permanently Suspended". Can I edit the title to show that?

Edit: There we go, found the edit button. First time on these forums

There seems to be a LOT of this going on in the past 24 hours.. What's the deal Riot? I'm a bit confused that this would happen to so many folks within a few hours/day.

Cheater banwave.

I don't have an answer for you, but I was among one of the many people who were also banned for no reason. I have been playing since season 2 and have never even had a warning or minor suspension. Logged on today, won 2 rank games and suddenly, I got kicked off mid promo game. Tried logging back on to find that my "account has been banned for 3rd Party Malicious Activity / Modified Game." Hell, I don't even know how to use a hack/script if you gave it to me. I just play the game as any normal person would.

I to have also felt that I was falsely banned for I played a game a few weeks ago and before that a few months ago, I am a very casual player when it comes to league, the games just tend to take to long to play so I rarely play it now. I try to log back and was told that I was permanently banned for 3rd party software, I've never used anything that would jeopardize my account, but Riot only tells me they cannot disclose any information about my ban and will not answer any of my questions as to how I could be cheating when I barely play the game as it is now. It seems like once they ban regardless of whether or not you are cheating or not they will not revoke it and it is very disappointing to see a company that wont even try to find out if my ban was legitimate or not. They have told me multiple times that they have checked and double checked the report, which tells me they check your account once and never do a second scan to see if it was a false flag. No one from Riot will say anything due to "security reasons" making it pretty much pointless to plead you'r innocence which is in my opinion sad, everyone should be entitled to a second opinion especially when it results in something as powerful as a permanent ban.

I was also hit with a false ban and countless automated responses saying they checked the "Evidence". I'm not going to stop trying but it looks hopeless at this point :/
