Got permanently banned on League + apparently HWID banned and I genuinely have no idea why
So today I got hit with a permanent suspension on my main account (been playing since Season 3), and what makes it even weirder is that I think I also got HWID banned because I can’t access other accounts from my PC either.
I’m honestly completely shocked. I’ve NEVER used cheats, scripts, exploits, third-party software, or anything like that. I wouldn’t risk an account I’ve had for over a decade, especially because I mainly just play Arena nowadays and genuinely enjoy the game.
The only punishment I had on the account was an old chat restriction from a while back. I used to be toxic occasionally in the past, mostly in Arena because I literally never touch Summoner’s Rift or ARAM anymore, but recently I wasn’t even typing much at all.
That’s why this makes zero sense to me. A permanent ban alone would already feel insane, but an HWID ban too? That’s what really makes me think something went wrong.
I already contacted Riot Support and I’m waiting for a response, but I wanted to ask:
Has this ever happened to anyone before?
Has anyone successfully gotten a false ban reversed?
If it really is an HWID ban, what are the chances Riot actually lifts it if it was a mistake?
I’d genuinely appreciate any advice because I honestly believe this has to be some kind of false detection or error.
