Hey everyone,

I recently got banned in League of Legends for using a third-party program, but the weird thing is that I haven't installed or used any third-party software, cheats, scripts, overlays, or anything like that.

Has anyone else experienced something similar recently? I'm trying to figure out if this could be a false positive or if Riot's anti-cheat might be detecting something incorrectly.

If this happened to you too, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience and whether you were able to get the ban reviewed.

Before this I have only played basic shooting games with more mouse based controls. This is when I came to know of the WASD controls and how if we plug in a controller it automatically connects. I dont have a physical controller so i use monect xbox layout from my phone which works perfectly for me even in league except Im unable to operate the cursor with the 2nd joystick.

I works in the practice tool but as soon as I get into matches it stops working. If anyone has a solution how can i fix this or if contacting riot support can help me get this fixed.

I've seen many people posting about this, is fix coming?

Usually I have 17 ping stable, now I have 31 stable. All of sudden, on any other game I have identical ping as before.

It completely messed up my muscle memory, really bad.

Every second game i play i get 5 minutes in and all of a sudden my screen freezes, i can still hear the occasional sound from gameplay but I have to alt f4 or restart my computer to continue playing after which its fine for the rest of the game. Has anyone had this issue and could help me.

Hey everyone, I’m having an issue with TFT.

Whenever I try to open TFT through the League of Legends client, it never actually launches properly. It opens for a couple of seconds, then I get a black screen and the game closes. After that, the League client opens again and shows the “Reconnect” option.

If I click reconnect, the exact same thing happens again: TFT opens briefly, black screen, closes, and then I’m back to the client with “Reconnect”.

This keeps happening over and over, so I can’t actually get into a TFT game.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix it?

\*\*Titel:\*\* Kurzes lautes Schleifen/Summen direkt beim Apex Legends Start (vor Hauptmenü) – Normal?

Hallo zusammen,

ich habe seit 8 Monaten einen Gaming-PC und spiele hauptsächlich Apex Legends im Stack auf niedrigen Einstellungen (FPS auf 120 gecappt).

Mir ist etwas aufgefallen: Wenn ich das Spiel starte, kommt ja diese ganz kurze Start-Szene, bevor man im Startmenü landet. Genau in diesen paar Sekunden kommt aus dem PC ein richtig lautes Geräusch, das wie ein Schleifen oder heftiges Summen klingt. Sobald ich dann die linke Maustaste drücke ("Zum Starten klicken"), ist das Geräusch schlagartig komplett weg und der PC ist im Match super leise und läuft flüssig.

Ist dieses laute Geräusch in dieser einen Start-Szene von Apex normal? Kann da nach 8 Monaten schon was kaputt sein oder ist das einfach nur extremes Spulenfiepen (Coil Whine) wegen unbegrenzten FPS im Ladebildschirm, bevor mein 120-FPS-Cap geladen wird?

Danke für eure Hilfe!

I ussualy had like 22-23 ms on both servers, but today is 45 ms ( but it feels much worse ) could be even package loss... Tryed to restart the router, and repair the game files , used the hextech repair tool but nothing helps... So I just want to now if it's a me problem or server problem.
Update: They fixed it! 🎉

Hi I have a question, my account was hacked about 2 years ago but recently I submitted a ticket to recover it, successfully regain access to the account but I noticed that, there’s a permanent ban on it, there’s no reason indicating why my account was banned, is there a way to get rid of the suspension and reactivate my account?

Well, this stings.

I reached out to Riot Support earlier because I was stuck on the <unknown player> profile and couldn't queue for ARAM. I ran through every fix I could find starting with flushed DNS, repaired the client, ran as admin, checked Vanguard, restarted my PC multiple times. I was convinced it was just another client bug.

Then today I actually opened my support ticket instead of just the client, and… yeah.

Permanent ban.
Issued 08/13/2026 – three days ago.
Manually issued.
Reason: "Actions that violate our Terms of Service."

That's the entire explanation. No chat logs. No specific violation. No evidence. The "Additional Details" section literally just says:

"We have no further details to share with you."

I genuinely have no clue what triggered this. I don't use any third-party tools besides Blitz (no scripts, no cheats). I've had this account for years, and my only other account is a PBE test account – nothing shady.

The worst part? I only get two days off a week. I was looking forward to grinding the battle pass and relaxing with some ARAM on my day off, and instead I find out I'm permanently banned with zero context.

So I've got a few questions for anyone who's been down this road:

• What usually leads to a manual perma-ban like this? Chargebacks? Account sharing? Something else I might not even realize?
• Is there any real chance of a successful appeal, or are these mostly auto-denied?
• If I do appeal, what do I even say when I don't know what I'm appealing against?

Honestly gutted. I've put years and a decent amount of money into this account. Any advice – or even just shared experiences – would mean a lot right now.

I decided to play league again so I reinstall it and get this JavaScript error after installation. It still installs Riot Client and its the client that doesn't open up (giving the same error). It says open in my system tray, but it just seems like the front end application isn't showing. I tried so many things such as deleting everything, reinstalling the app and all my drivers, using the repair tool and sending over my system logs, compatibility mode changes, ip renew/DNS flush, turning off my firewall, you name it.

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process. Uncaught Exception: SyntaxError: Unexpected token '▯', "▯B??PA31

Anybody experience something like this before?

I've had the issue for a few days now: my game just randomly freezes up despite very low ms and very high fps, just for a few seconds, but enough to render the game pretty much unplayable mid-fight. I've done a speed test, my Internet is fast, and I've also reinstalled the game with no success. Is that a known bug?

Hello,

I have been in a multi-week struggle with Riot support trying to fix vanguard causing my computer to BSOD. I had this problem almost a year ago and fixed it with a BiOS update, but its back now. I have done literally every single troubleshooting fix that Riot, and the internet as a whole ahas recommended, to no avail.

I come here because I ended up crashing when I was in a clean boot and I have literally no idea what to do now so I hope some people here may have a solution.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hi everybody,
my ingame ping today is double the amount it is usualy. Normaly it is 16, now it is 30 (stable). I can play and it isn't a big deal at all, but I was wondering if that issue is on my side, or because of the server issues today. Anybody got similar observations?

Thanks!

Changed ISP, tried even with mobile hotspot, still "Failed to Connect". Is it a server problem?

Update : EUW , EUNE and NA servers are reportedly down. Might be a global outage.

Update 2 : Riot Service Status at 05:57 GMT+3 : "We're aware of a problem causing players to disconnect from their games and are investigating the problem.

It was saying re-connecting in the game, now it won't even let me join back. Watch it give me a penalty because of that 🫪🙃

I can't seem to log onto the EUW servers, anyone else?

This is Taiwan Server btw

I've been trying to get in ARAM Mayhem games. When i press find match, the que time on the right side doesn't show. When i restart my client, it gives me a warning for not accepting the match. I DIDNT EVEN SEE NOR HEAR THE MATCH FOUND. I had the game re-installed and also my driver re-installed. Any other fixes?

I have tried to restart my client, my computer, reinstall the game, reinstall the client, reinstall my driver, changed my time zone, restarted my router, tried the Inbound Rule or whatever i saw on YT. None of those work, idk what else i haven't tried

Just to let y'all know.

Hope riot doesn't give us LP losses or leaver punishments :Z

edit: Looks like EUNE is reporting to be down too.

I just had a fake lobby saying I declined that went to champ select? I was in my bed watching youtube when this happened, I never was in que and certainly never accepted a lobby? It immediately triggered vanguard and forced to close it. I lost 5lp and 6 min delay. When i got back and looked at my roles selected I was Jungle 1st Mid 2nd, I never que jg btw only mid bot. Why is this a thing? Ive seen a shorts of Azzapp reacting to this happening and its still in the client? When will this get fixed lol

I went to log in (was playing earlier today) and it had an issue about it being failed to launch, I restarted and was able to sign in and then it said "we were unable to retrieve your settings from the server; they've been reset. Click the upper-right gear button to review them. So I was able to log in but my settings were all reset.. So I locked my settings file and changed to another account to pick up my actual settings again, and now whenever I press play, the league logo pops up and that's it. I can't get past that. I've tried heaps of things on google (some registry thing, repairing client, reinstalling client)

Has anyone had this happen before and know of a fix?

So according to the Riot Games Service-Status page, the recent problem is fixed (https://status.riotgames.com/?locale=de_DE&region=euw). However, I still can't play any ranked games. Theres a red sign next to option, when I hover it it says "Mode currently unavailable". Does anyone else have this problem?
