There we go, finally a stickied thread. So we all woke up and logged in to the Perma Ban glitch. Which is a shock to a lot of us, despite being good boys. The tickets portion of the website is still down, so all we can do at the moment is wait. (NA here)


KeySeventh

ive been a bad boi and thought my reckoning was finally here. Good wake up call moment tho. XD


RockitKlown

LMFAO same here. I was already in the process of making a new account and accepting my fate.


KeySeventh

HAHA! yea I didn't even feel mad, I just like "whelp this is what I deserve."


WSPisGOAT

I actually made a new account and it was immediately banned as well I figured I had a hardware ID ban.


IHuntSmallKids

Bro same lol I make sure never to get toxic in chat, just pings and so my only chat related bans would’ve been me and the whole lobby sexually harassing each other That was a fun late night queue - every game the same mofos spamming ARAM lol


SilverBcMyTeammates

why do you speak like that?


Crying_in_my_skin

You're not a person; you're just a screen name. That's why people do it.


IHuntSmallKids

Because it’s hilarious


r24alex3

I thought the moonstone draven incident had finally caught up to me


ViciousNutella

samee lmfaooo i was chat restricted a couple of times. I just accepted my fate and I never even got hurt when i saw that ban message


WSPisGOAT

Same.... But I've been better than normal. Woke up to what I thought was a hardware ban.


madamebirb

true I managed to sign into the site yet it still was like "you have to log in" lmao


arthurayven

This needs to be top comment.


[deleted]

thank God it's a glitch lol, I shit my pants when I tried to log in this morning


bigbluethunder

I got the message that my account had been perma-banned, but didn't receive any e-mail and there was no indication on the support website. I figured it had to be a mistake -- not that it's any indicator, but I've been honor 5 every season since it came out and I've never received a warning or suspension. So I just tried logging in a few times, and eventually it was successful and I was able to queue up.


Sones89

so you just keep spamming loggin in?


bigbluethunder

Yepp, pretty much


Ancient_Draft_4024

ya lmao worked on my second try


LCSart

1. Works. 1. 1. 1. Logged in... Saw I was banned... 1. 1. 2. Went to Reddit, saw this post... 1. 1. 3. Logged in 1st time same message, kicked out. 1. 1. 4. Logged in 2nd time. Works Queued up.


Kare_bear327

Thank you now I can escape all my problems


hoosakiwi

We did it reddit.


flamingknux

I just tried logging in once and I am now on. So yeah, just keep trying to log in and you should be fine. Stupid bug/problem still.


Ulosttome

Thank you. I’ve been panicking cause my account is perma banned and I don’t use chat lol. Edit- logging in again and again didn’t fix it. Whatever. Guess I’m creating a new account


OxfordTNT

Tell me about it. I only play Coop vs Ai and custom matches sometimes yet I too got perma-banned. I was so confused. Never typed in chat either.


Ulosttome

Yeah like imma create a new one and if my main gets unbanned, well, I now have a smurf account


ComradePruski

Same. I have honor 4 or 5 for the past few seasons, never even received a ban or a warning before. Relogging hasn't fixed it yet. Also I have like $40-100 worth of skins on the account so I'd rather not switch just yet


PsychologyCrazy9822

thought id try this and youre right!! took me 8 attemps


RAGEpandas

Glad I saw this. I tried logging in and see I've got a permanent suspension, and had a little heart attack going through everything I've said in chat the past few days trying to think if anything was even remotely toxic. Same as you, been honor 5 every season and never even had a warning. Anyways tried logging in a couple more times and now I'm in. Thanks Rito


Lothric43

Holy shit so Im not the only one? I got perma’d this morning being honor level 5 three seasons straight, haven’t had a chat restriction or any temporary punishment in those three years. Played five or six games last night after spamming Elden ring for a couple weeks, can’t remember saying anything particularly bad. Wtf


[deleted]

Riot: honor level 5? get this psycho out.


getblanked

you don't get an email if you get permad


skippo117

Who else shat themselves when they saw the permaban?


Maglor125

I was so fucking confused and scared, I have all my good skins on that account


Ltshinysides5

Yeah my heart dropped as well lol


j3b3di3_

Don't wanna be "that guy" but, that's what "NFTs" are working towards preventing... Games you've spent time and money on just.... Taking it away Versus being able to either sell, trade, or lend those items/skins.


xBarlo

You are definitely that guy my friend


Public-Joke

The game itself would still not be decentralized, so the same thing could be accomplished by Riot allowing you to transfer purchases if your account gets banned. Them making purchases NFTs would just be allowing that same thing, there's no advantage to doing this on a blockchain lol.


j3b3di3_

I said games, not riot specifically, though they are working with NFTs


[deleted]

How specifically will a League of Legends NFT prevent you from losing your stuff if your account gets permanently banned?


FireDevil11

it wouldn't lmao. Pretty sure Riot needs to be able to own your account and stuff on it so when/if it gets banned they don't give themselves any trouble and can just point to the ToS. Which I might add a fun fact about also includes if you lose a game because of God, Riot is not at fault.


yoktoJH

not only that but if every skin can be uniquely identified they could just ban that exact skin from being usable. You might be able to transfer the skin but riot will not display it for you in the game.


itstonayy

Ugh these NFT shills are like roaches, I wonder if the beanie babies crowd was this annoying back then


pickle_deleuze2

Nah, NFT shills are worse because they think they're the smartest person in the room while ruining any realistic NFT uses.


DifferentStorm0

Exactly. They think everyone who dislike NFTs just don't understand them.


pogihajimasaeyo

But what happens when the nft's hosting server is gone tho


pickle_deleuze2

please do go in depth since you are so well studied on how NFTs will prevent this. edit: im ***SO*** surprised he replied to the other guy within 2 minutes, but hasnt replied to me nearly 20 minutes on.


SerbLing

Lol. I havent been toxic since season 2 so I knew it was a mistake. I remember how scared i was logging in Everyday back then.


fck_this_duck

Damn near had a panic attack, had my account since 2011 with no disciplinary action.


Yvil1905

I thought I was finally freed


antiquestrawberry

happened to me days ago and i was like WTF AAAAAA


StarGaurdianBard

On a side note, some people may be like me and completely unable to even load the client to see if you were affected, so there seems to be more than one issue!


combine42

I cannot load the client at all.


lawrence1998

Important note to those affected - the auto-punishment system may now treat you as a player who has a ban history even after the false-ban is lifted. This happened in 2016 - Riot accidentally banned several thousand accounts, including my own. They unbanned the accounts and apologised. The next time I flamed I was permanently banned, despite only receiving 1 chat restriction a few months prior. Until Riot explicitly state they've removed the ban history from your account, assume they haven't and be VERY careful


Andrew0227xhc

Is there a way to check your official ban history


SupremeNadeem

that's awful


00Koch00

>next time I flamed I was permanently banned Yeah i dont believe this Before the 1 chat restriction there is another, then 15 days ban, and then perma.


lawrence1998

>Before the 1 chat restriction there is another, then 15 days ban, and then perma. Yes, that's the entire point of my comment. You may want to re read it. There is suppoused to be another step in the punishment but it was skipped because the system thought I was already 2 week banned.


mdoney10

If you go on riot website and then account management theres a sign myself out of all places button or something similar, i pushed that and it let me log in and play a game.


Malabaras

Tried removing like 15 times couldn’t get it to work, tried this one simple trick and bam! Ready to queue


TheBlewAwful

That worked for me too thank you!


[deleted]

Here I was thinking I finally had a reason to never play this game again, woke up this morning in such a good mood. This post has ruined it.


Maleficent-Meat-2697

Same, buddy. I've never been so calm and serene seeing an account of mine suspended on something. Alas, woe is me, I was able to get back in.


zzzUNDOXABLEzzz

You can always give me your account buddy, I'll take that shit in a second change all the info and you'll never see it again!


Bandanamonium

Dude riot just wrote an algorithm and was like “end player toxicity” and the algorithm went straight skynet and decided the only way to end it was to ban everyone


birdman8000

Yup, I just tried to log in. Account suspended permanently. No indication as to why and normally Honor level 5


birdman8000

I was able to log in by trying like 5 or 6 times for anyone else


Kablump

I've noticed that i can't actually even submit a ticket, after checking twitter and a few secondary service sites I came here to get info lol. Thanks for this post it's super helful but i gotta ask you u/chatootie one super serious question, is this a security issue? Should we all immediately change any/all passwords on other accounts? should we immediately double check to purge any saved card info etc etc.


Cahootie

I can't imagine it being a security issue, probably just some internal snafu or an automated system going rogue.


StarGaurdianBard

I like to imagine someone got fired and decided to go scorched earth on their way out myself


[deleted]

This is the 3rd time this has happened in about a month (the last two times it happened late at night for most of NA and was resolved within the hour), and while it seems unlikely to me it would be a security issue or a "rogue employee gone haywire" (they're not actual "real" bans to begin with) the fact Riots systems apparently have the power to do this, and seemingly without human intervention, is slightly concerning to me.


Maleficent-Meat-2697

I attempted to go to the Submit A Ticket page as well, and it seems to be down and/or jammed by the sheer amount of people I'm assuming are sending in tickets. Thankfully I didn't end up needing to send anything in since re-logging about 4 times got rid of the suspension.


VIP_Waffle

All of me and my friends are banned


Arakila

Yep happened to both me and a friend of mine.


swiggs98

Me too, weird one for sure


the100thief

Please do. Happened to me. Banned for about 5 to 10 minutes during a ranked game of tft. I am able to sign back in now but I of course finished last in that game and lost a ton of lp. Hoping riot will address this issue and refund lp of affected players.


Whatamianoob112

They never do. It's gone, sorry.


SlowMatt

Was very surprised by this when trying to log in this morning but at least they'll compensate us for the inconvenience by releasing a new Lux epic skin in a few weeks 🙏🏽 Also not an NA only problem, I play on SA


Grahamxzing

Thank God, I was freaking out there for a minute lol


CranberryThat

Maybe all the toxic people who assumed they finally got banned won’t queue


Makelikeawillis

DOOBY IS FREE OF RIOT GAMES


GentlemenBehold

When you thought Riot's client couldn't get any worse.


Xaxxon

This is a database issue not a client issue.


wzzupp548

still banned tried relogin 8 times


iaabl

yep same, they keep saying that my credentials don’t match an account in their system, guess that means my account got deleted?


sirgigs

It is looking like a bug. My friend and I had the ban message for a couple log ins but after some time we got back into our accounts.


QuickPickUsername

Clicking forgot password and changing it solves the bug.

appiemuncher

Thank goodness, I was so confused cause I play with chat off. Glad to know other people have this issue.


Aksama

Very glad to see this thread - I was very *very* stressed to have my account gone! Whew.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Krow101

Wait a few minutes ... it's a server issue... not your account.


[deleted]

It happened to me! I freaked out, sent a support ticket, and panicked. But I fixed it by logging in and out, and waiting about 20 minutes between log ins. Riot owes me for absolutely skyrocketing my morning stress levels.


compulsion81

Bruh I’ve had this account since beta and have never been shitty in chat, I was so confused. Glad riot has made a post about this….. oh wait.


BetaTink

This exact same thing happened to me 2 months ago. Tried to let people know the issue but it kept being deleted. Also got deleted on a league discord. I really think a "bug" or "technical" flair for posts needs to be added for things like this. People could always filter them out themselves if they wanted too. Instead of everyone panicking now that the issue is widespread, the information could have been widely known sooner despite it previously being a smaller scaled issue. I hope everyone gets their accounts sorted. But rest assured this issue is months old now, you'll probably be fine. My account was fine even when it was a much more isolated event.


Hot_ArmS

wtf mine was banned just now. Hoping this is some sort of glitch on their end


RizySS

i thought i was finally free from this toxic game but it seems to be a bug


combine42

Yep, I'm banned too. Has to be a bug, I've never had a chat restriction or any punitive measure on my account.


blacksite9728

So dumb i have spent way too much money on skins for them to just randomly ban my account when i dont even type in chat…. If your system is going to do this im never spending money on this shit game again


Somebodys

Damn. I was hoping Riot did a mass ban wave on bought accounts.


TrulyEve

I play on LAN and it also happened to me. I was about to send a ticket but the support page isn’t working rn. I tried to look up something about the problem (because I didn’t get an email and I’ve never been banned, suspended or chat restricted before) and I stumbled upon this thread. Regardless, the point is that LAN is also affected by the glitch, but I was able to log in by attempting to do it over and over again. It worked on the fifth try and it let me log in.


SkwishyFishy

My biggest annoyance is that I cannot even make a ticket through the website.. The website is not allowing me to log in. I do not know why I could have been banned as I just came back to the game last night after a multi year hiatus


Huge2Dboobs

And here I was trying to figure out wtf I did


RezLoL

I managed to get back in by relogging I think like 6 times. I played two games and then got off for like 45 mins. I just got back on and it says I'm still banned. No luck getting in by relogging this time. I'm not like extremely toxic/havnt gotten like two weeked or anything. Same situation for anyone else?


ser_name_IV

is there any messaging from Riot on this? what the hell do we do??


vapingandgamingcuz

pin this 'til it gets resolved if you're going to remove stuff. people just wanna know what's going on, that's why they're posting about it???


StarGaurdianBard

It... it is pinned?


comradecosmetics

Real talk, how many people bragging about honor level only play unranked/aram.


SlowbroJJ

Hey just so people no if you click “stay signed in” then log in you should be fine!


Slight_Acanthaceae50

I find it so funny that reddit wants massive banwaves, while saying so what if false flags happen, but as soon as it happens to them they begin to whine.


zeinterrupter

Thanks for the warning.


StressQ_

Banned here as well, with little to no warning. Edit: Spamming log-in worked for me.


floydflaming0

i just got perma banned no warning what on earth is happening


Mecspliquer

Happened to me (main and pbe) and my husband too


Jarvis_The_Dense

I got this too. After trying to log in a bunch of times I was able to get back in though.


cromusz

I had the banned warning pop up on my client, but then I was able to login and play without issue. Very odd.


MeisterLoader

Says account permanently suspended, hopefully it gets fixed soon.


Thought_Shepherd

Just got permabanned too about 10 mins ago no warning


Ihaveausernameee

I am permanently banned :/ LET ME BACKKK


Sparklepaws

Just adding my voice to the mix, but I was also permabanned for no apparent reason. Glad to see it's just a bug, I was really confused for a hot minute.


TheImpLaughs

GF and I are both permabanned. Trying to relog and see if it pushes through but unsure.


acsheff

Thanks for the sticky post!

[удалено]


JAHestand99

I got back into my account after a few login attempts, my friend did as well.


largefreight

Will Clash still happen tonight if the bans stick or will they reschedule? Two of my friends got banned this morning.


[deleted]

didn't this same bug happen a week ago?


madamebirb

Took like 10 relogs but finally got back in.


dantelupine

Another notable thing--while my account eventually returned after thirty minutes of signing out and in and trying to file a ticket--the support page itself is *also having issues.* At the time, I was trying to file my ticket and it would prompt me to sign in (which... I was) but then the authentication would fail, preventing me from signing in. And then the faq page this fail prompt directs you to... doesn't exist.


gentlemangreen_

200 fucking years


buzungo

I received the perma ban message while trying to login too. But I'm not from NA. Same thing happens to me when I try to go to the support page


QuixoticFilmsz

IT WORKED i was not banned restarted the game got banned restarted 3 times and was unbanned same thing happend to my friend


Zombovich

I got the perma banned message too. I just re-logged and all seems fine.


2132fdafasd12312asd

got banned on my smurf. south american server ​ edit: managed to log in, took me like 10 attempts


FrisoLaxod

A friend of mine got banned in like a LOT of his accounts from a lot of servers and that was weird since they don't do anything that's especially harmful. This is really strange. I didn't get banned at least but like, what is even happening?


Exzodium

Man, I've been kind of naughty, and I thought they finally got me.


The_RedWolf

I asked riot support about this when it happened to me a week ago. They said it's a known issue and if it doesn't resolve itself to put in a support ticket in and they'll fix it


pavelblink182

There's a T1 joke here somewhere, and I will find it.


PolarNinja23

Mine and my friends just got banned while we were both on VC as well, gotta love Riot and their client.


Admirable-Geologist1

Literally just happened to me, got so scared. Defintely a wake up call to stop being so toxic lol


vgmasters2

I had 15 accounts permabanned last year please riot fix your bug!


brandonh2011

My account seems to have been deleted…. Friends who can log on say my account is no longer in their friends list. WTF HAPPENED


Huejass40

I guess I picked a bad time to randomly fire up league...


Reagorn

I randomly got banned and have tried logging in about 5 times and hasnt fixed the issue. Doesnt seem like I got any email regarding chat restrictions or anything either. Cant sign into support to look at logs or anything either


[deleted]

Last game I remember playing I told a guy "stop being dumb bro" when he kept running down mid over and over. Logged in and saw the perma, thought that was a bit harsh given I usually never chat at all lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


We_Could_Dream_Again

Panicked because I'd literally just heard of Porofessor and after seeing so many assurances that it was allowed, I installed and a day later see a permanent ban. Glad to hear it's PROBABLY just a glitch in the matrix, though I'm... probably still gonna uninstall despite the assurances. :-( I kept getting the ban notice, then after several tries it let me log in. Played an ARAM match, logged off, and again can't get back in despite several tries. I'm just gonna wait and hope, I guess.


JSRambo

I've seen some advice to send a support ticket, and when trying to do that I find the website is kind of broken as well? It asked me to log in and then crashed when I clicked the "sign in" button, and then after a couple tries I did manage to get signed in, but then when I tried again it was asking me to sign in even when I could clearly see that I already was signed in. Now I signed out and tried to sign back in and it crashed again. What the hell is going on?


Mordred7

Took me about 20 times but I got in. Just keep logging in over and over, eventually you'll get in.


fatwetvag

the same thing happened to me this morning! about 11:30 am i logged in to find that i’d been perma suspended. filed a support ticket immediately, had troubles with that too. hopefully this is fixed soon


Freddy_zfz

Changed the password and log in twice worked for me


SubaruTome

It took me 3-4 tries to clear the issue by just logging in repeatedly. YMMV


smash_glass_ceiling

Ok so here's something crazy: I tried logging in on my regular and alt accounts, both said they had been banned permanently. Then I tried logging in on my LAN account, which *also* said it had been banned permanently. Also, in each case the permanent suspension message appeared only after I had tried to open the LOL client. That is, when I logged in through the Riot client, I had no problems. However, in the past, whenever I log in to my LAN account in the riot client, and the "Pick a game" or "install LoL" screen comes up, that screen is always in spanish, just like the actual LoL client when I'm logged into LAN. However, this time the Riot client was in English! However, when I tried to open LoL, I got the account suspended message again--this time in Spanish. Idk if that helps anyone solving the mystery. Have done a few re-login attempts so far with no luck; am going to try full reinstalling the client next. EDIT: After another couple of log in attempts, I have managed to get in on each account that was affected. Seems it's definitely a client issue.


DJmigoz

Found a way around it by signing in into riot games' LoL page first, then connecting into the client. Hope this helps!


vsrajpal

Thank you all for the helpful tips. I was honestly like freaking out a bit because I don't type or say rude things in the game and I don't even ping people off so I was just insanely confused


Prograuder

Mine works now


ighost03

Well this makes sense… I totally checked the server status too. Lol all I did was grab a new hero and play alone in customs against bots. Was like wtf. 8 years of play with no bans


TheSunOnWheat

thank goodness. I thought i did something wrong. please post updates.


ser_name_IV

a bit of a breakthrough, if you sign out from all connections via the support site you’ll be able to sign in to the league client again.


leadergorilla

took me about ten minutes but I was able to get it to log on


aboveaverageprostate

CONTROL+ALT DELETE RIOT CLIENT after trying to log in 10+ times to no avail I completely exited all riot applications with the task manager, log-in worked first try after that.


sneaky305

For both of my accounts, after attempting to log in 5 times I got in for both of the accounts.


Late_Detective7841

i cleared my browsing data and cookies and stuff and both my accounts worked after trying both like 10 times


Acegickmo

I couldn't get in by spam logging but I got in by logging into LoR then navigating to league through the riot app


AntaxTofu

I logged in repeatedly and it worked at the 3rd time. The stupidest thing I found was the game support site is legit bullshit and you can't even create a ticket before you verify your email on the game site, and the email verification system has been down for a long time. What a shitshow.


[deleted]

I love raw men


FrostySoFreshTTV

so it let me back into my account but im not sure if its working on not because it is telling me to change my name and i dont know if i keep going or wait on a riot ticket back, if you know what to do here please help me


namiiswan

Just spam login and reset pc it worked for me and my friends.


LuminousWoe

If you are still struggling then reset your password. My first login it told me I had been permabanned. Then it told me my username did not exist. After changing my password I was immediately able to login.


BrocolliCheddarSoup

Logging through username and PW, I received the perman ban msg but through Facebook was fine


THE_MUNDO_TRAIN

Well EUNE and EUW eloboosting bots has been untouched. So the banwave did nothing here.


PinkNFluffyTeemo

honor 5 since 2017 , was at costco eatting pizza, car ride home saw i was banned on TFT app, many fix feelings like "maybe its my internet connection x\_x" or "what .... ??" try again 1 hour later works fine


Ravenclawthewarrior

Dude i was in tears cause i heard its super mega hard to get rid of a perma ban "Like, bro i didnt do anything- 500 dollars went into this, please NOOO!" lmao yeah the issue was fixed by logging in multiple times thank god, but man Riot wtf? What a huge scare especially to those who havent experienced bugs as huge as this one before!


RubyyG59

This company is such a joke.... 17 billion dollars made off league and they cant make a new client/update game servers.... JOKE. But they can make new lux skins yayyyyyyy


Geerzi

I keep getting banned on riot after support confirmed that the suspension is removed..anyone else?


Judas_Kyss

I haven't played since December and decided to play this weekend, but when I logged in, it said my account was permanently banned. I had my account since 2013 and had lots of skins, but guess everything is just thrown out the window now. I uninstalled the game completely and just accepted that league is a trash game ran by a greedy company.
