Other summoners!

I was recently banned for "MMR Boosting" recently and I was quite taken aback. I've been the only one to play my account ranked since I've gotten it and felt I worked fairly hard dealing with AFKs/Rage/ etc that we all have to deal with on the rift to get there. So I made a ticket, asking for evidence that my account was boosted. Well after 2 weeks (the full suspension) of back and forths between myself and a member of the Player Behaviour Team I was informed that they cannot provide evidence and that I am without a doubt guilty. Well I beg to differ, I feel I'm quite innocent, so I kept pushing. Turns out, they don't need a reason to ban you, suspend you, take away your rewards, they do what they want when they want because you've signed the most dodgy terms of service in the history of gaming. Here's one for you.

E. Suspension/Termination. By Riot Games. RIOT GAMES RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND, TERMINATE, MODIFY OR DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, AND WITH NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND TO YOU. Additionally, Riot Games may stop offering and/or supporting the Game at any time. For purposes of explanation and not limitation, most Account suspensions, terminations and/or deletions are the result of violation of this Agreement, the EULA, the Privacy Policy, or the Summoner’s Code (defined below). Accounts terminated by Riot Games shall not be reinstated under any conditions whatsoever.

Eh just because we want too.

Also! Your account isn't even yours!

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU SHALL HAVE NO OWNERSHIP OR OTHER PROPERTY INTEREST IN YOUR ACCOUNT,

Some of you may post "you're just mad you got caught etc etc" feel free to feel that way. I didn't boost my account but literally was suspended with no way to counter argue or hope to get back the things I worked hard for. It can literally happen to any of you here as it happened to me.

That agreement isn't dodgy, that's standard. I don't know what evidence they used to convict you so I can't really comment on the bans validity.

Okay? How is this news? When you signed the agreement, you claimed that you read it. Not knowing any of this is your own damn fault for lying.

wow, that's messed up. people who haven't even done anything wrong in their entire time on league could have their accounts deleted, regardless of all the money they put into it, just because riot felt like it.....

That's a pretty standard terms of use for a video game. Maybe next time you'll actually read that stuff instead of blindly just hitting "I accept."
