In League of Legends, players can face bans for various reasons like toxic behavior, scripting, using unauthorized software, or boosting. If you engage in any of these activities, there’s a chance you’ll receive a ban. It can happen quickly or when Riot implements a widespread ban wave.
To check if you’ve been banned in League of Legends, simply log into your account in the League client. You’ll receive a detailed notification informing you of the ban, the reason behind it, and the duration of the ban.
Types of Bans in League of Legends
League of Legends has different types of bans based on the reasons:
Account Lock
If Riot Games detects suspicious activity on your account, it may get locked. In this case, you won’t be able to access it until Riot Support verifies that the account is legitimate and doesn’t violate any terms of service. To regain access, you’ll need to submit an account recovery request or contact Riot Support.
Account Suspension
Account suspension is a temporary ban that prevents you from playing the game for a specific number of days. Your honor level progress will be reset, and you won’t receive any rewards during and after the ban. Account suspension is usually given for intentional feeding or toxic behavior towards other players. If you’re banned for this reason, you’ll receive a link to the match details or your chat logs.
Permaban
Permaban is the most severe type of ban, where you permanently lose access to your account. This ban is usually given to repeat offenders who have violated Riot’s terms of service multiple times. If you believe you were unfairly banned, you can contact Riot Support, but the chances of getting your account back are slim.
ID Ban
The most severe form of ban in League of Legends is the ID ban, where Riot Games actively hunts down any account associated with a banned player, including new accounts created afterward. ID bans are incredibly rare and typically given to players with multiple banned accounts or those who have used offensive language against others. If you receive this ban, you won’t be able to get any account back, but you can create a new one after a year.
It’s crucial to be aware of the different types of bans in League of Legends and to avoid escalating your bans to more severe levels. If you’re banned, make sure to learn from it and avoid repeating the same mistakes.
