Perpetually Sad started this petition to Riot Games

Teamfight Tactics (TFT) and League of Legends (LoL) are different Riot games. Currently, banning an account for a TFT reason would also result in a ban on LoL. Meanwhile, an account ban for other Riot games (Valorant, Legends of Runeterra, Wild Rift) would not result in a League of Legends ban. Neither should TFT.

My friends and I were permanently banned for using Bluestacks to play TFT around April 6, 2022. I was using this safe mobile emulator since around 2020, and the last time I used it was in 2021. I was unaware that using Bluestacks (a safe, widely used emulator with no cheat functions) would be bannable. Regardless, I now understand that using this third party application was really wrong, and I will never do it again. I am truly sorry for violating this policy, and I understand Riot's enforcement of this.

However, in addition to being banned on TFT, my account also got banned for LoL, even though I had never, and would never, violate any rules for LoL. I feel that this is very unfair to me. The fact is, it was only TFT that I had violated policies on, and LoL is a completely different game. 

I have talked to Riot Support for these past ~2 months, and every employee I have talked to does not reason with me, and only says "it's not possible to reverse a permanent ban". They do not listen to my case at all, even though it is unique. I strongly believe that I have a point and that this ban is unjust. If I can get more viewability on this issue, perhaps there can be a change.

I proposed an idea, that was rejected by Riot Support, however I think it could work: Keep the ban for TFT only. It would not be difficult for Riot to prevent me from queueing up for TFT games (such as when a game mode is down/unavailable). Or, I can abstain from playing it myself - and if I ever do, Riot may ban my account again.

Overall, I have learned from my mistakes, and I sincerely hope that I, and my friends, are treated fairly and given a second chance.

For other Riot games, being banned for one game would not ban for other games. It should be the same way with TFT and LoL.

Thank you for reading and signing my petition.
