Why in the World was I Banned?

This is not one of those "OMG i was barely Toxic i don't deserve this ban" posts.

I actually have never been toxic in a game in all of my 5 years. Never had a chat restriction. Nothing. I barely even chat so my ban was definitely not related to that. I log in today and it says "This account has been permanently suspended please check your email for more information"

I go and check my Email and it says i was banned for "Unwanted 3rd Party programs."

When i looked deeper into what this means I was told Riot said I was scripting or using a skin changing service in game. I have never done either of those things and have been an avid player of this game since season 1. I have spent a bunch of money on the game and have 0 clue why Riot would think this. I'm not even that good of a player so It isn't like it looked like I was scripting.

What the hell is going on?

U know what im wondering about. U are bronze player and earlier in season u were doing pretty poorly, with crappy CS and KDA. Suddenly u started stomping your opponents. You went to 72% winrate in bronze with CS of a diamond player and KDA as if u are smurf.

I hope your issue is fixed, try submitting a ticket if nobody sees this post in a day or two.

But wait, skin changing services are bannable?

Upvoting in hopes of a manual review.

Dunno if you're telling the truth about not cheating, but these kinds of bans always freak me out.

Good luck. Whenever they do these third party ban waves there are many unfairly banned players.

3rd party bans also include sharing the account, it doesn't mean it's exclusively for scripting or botting bans.

Have you ever shared the account?
