Seeing that dreaded "Account Banned" notice in League of Legends? It's a gut punch. All your rank progress, champs, and skins—just vanished. No wonder you're scrambling for a way out, wondering if there’s any chance to turn it around.
The good news? There are ways. The catch? Only one method truly guarantees getting back in.
In this guide, we’ll break down two routes to get unbanned: the official appeal process through Riot Games, and the guaranteed bypass method using a tool like Sync Spoofer. We’ll give you step-by-step tips for both so you can pick what works best for you.
Method 1: Appealing Directly to Riot Games
This should be your first move. If your ban was made in error or your account got compromised, this is your only shot at getting your original League account back.
When Does an Appeal Actually Work?
Honestly, if the ban’s serious, chances aren’t great. But you might get lucky if:
- Your account was hacked: Someone else used your account and broke the rules.
- It was a false positive: Sometimes third-party software (like an overlay or antivirus) accidentally sets off Riot’s anti-cheat.
- It was a minor offense: A first-time warning for toxic chat or similar might be overlooked.
But if Riot banned you for confirmed cheating, or if you got a dreaded HWID ban (hardware ban), your appeal will almost certainly be rejected. Riot’s system logs are detailed, and reversing decisions like that is nearly impossible.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Submitting Your Appeal
If you feel your ban was unfair, follow these steps carefully for the best shot at success.
- Step 1: Gather Your Evidence
- Before reaching out, collect proof. This could be screenshots, game replays, or proof of transactions linked to your account. If you suspect hacking, screenshots of suspicious login alerts help.
- Step 2: Head to Riot Support
- Go to the official Riot Games support site and log in with the banned account if possible.
- Step 3: Find the Ban Appeal Form
- Select the appropriate options to report your issue, something like:
Account Issues→League of Legends→Ban Appeal. For more tips on related bans, check out our guide on how peripherals can affect HWID bans.
- Select the appropriate options to report your issue, something like:
- Step 4: Write a Clear, Polite Appeal
- Don’t vent or rant. Keep it respectful and to the point.
- Be honest: Explain what happened clearly. If a friend used your account, say so.
- State facts: Say what the ban was for and why you believe it’s wrong.
- Keep it brief: Support staff handle tons of appeals; a short, clear message hits home better.
- Step 5: Attach Your Proof and Submit
- Upload those screenshots or files you prepped. Hit submit and wait. It might take days or even weeks to get an answer.
If your appeal gets declined, don’t lose hope—there’s another way.
Method 2: Bypassing Your Ban with Sync Spoofer (The Guaranteed Way)
Maybe your appeal was denied, or you already know you’re hit with an HWID ban that makes appeals pointless. This is when you stop waiting and take back control to get playing right now.
This method leverages Sync Spoofer, which tricks Riot’s servers by making your PC appear like a brand-new machine—completely circumventing any hardware-based ban. Learn more about how Vanguard HWID spoofers operate to understand the tech behind the scenes.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Bypassing Your Ban
- Step 1: Pick Your Sync Plan
- First, grab a Sync Spoofer license. Choose from:
- Temporary Spoofer: The fan favorite. It’s a simple program you open before league. No Windows reinstall required and gets you back fast.
- Permanent Spoofer: A “set it and forget it” fix that permanently alters your PC’s hardware IDs. Setup once and never run it again. Read about permanent HWID spoofers for deeper insights.
- First, grab a Sync Spoofer license. Choose from:
- Step 2: Join the Discord for Quick Setup
- After purchase, you get a Discord invite packed with your license key, download links, tutorials, and 24/7 support.
- Step 3: Run the Cleaner and Spoofer
- This is a two-step dance. First, run the cleaner to wipe all hidden Riot tracking files from your PC. Skipping this is a no-go! Get detailed instructions in our HWID cleaner & reset guide.
- Then, launch the spoofer to mask your hardware IDs with one click—giving your PC a fresh identity.
- Step 4: Create a Brand-New Riot Account
- Remember, spoofing unhitches your PC ban, not your old account. That original one? Gone.
- Make a new Riot account with a fresh email and don’t reuse old details like payment info or linked phone numbers.
- Step 5: Jump Back Into League!
- Log in with your new account and dive back into the Rift. You’ll be back in less than 15 minutes. If you want more confirmations about hardware bans, see our HWID ban checker for online gaming.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here’s what players often ask after hitting a League ban, whether it’s a game ban, IP ban, or HWID ban.
Should I bother appealing first, or jump straight to the spoofer?
If you’re 100% sure the ban is a mistake (like a hacked account or a mistaken detection), always try appealing first. It's your only chance to recover your original profile. For any other bans—especially HWID bans for confirmed cheating—the spoofer will save you weeks of waiting.
What’s the difference between an account ban and an HWID ban?
Think of it like this: an account ban is getting your player ID blocked—so you can’t log into that account. An HWID ban blocks your PC itself, like banning your hardware fingerprints. No matter what account you use, Riot flags your device. Sync Spoofer gives you a “new hardware ID,” so Riot’s system won’t recognize you.
Can Riot detect if I’m using Sync Spoofer?
Nope. While free or cheap spoofers often get caught, premium tools like Sync are always one step ahead. Our team updates Sync throughout the year to dodge any new anti-cheat moves. We pride ourselves on staying invisible.
If I use the spoofer, will I get my old skins and rank back?
Unfortunately not. Spoofing lifts the ban off your PC, not your old League account. All your skins, ranked progress, and unlocks on your old account are gone for good. Spoofing just lets you start fresh without the ban blocking you.
Is the “Permanent Spoofer” really permanent? What if I upgrade my PC?
Yes, it permanently rewrites your current hardware IDs. These changes survive OS reinstalls and updates. But if you swap out a major part—like your motherboard—you might need to run the spoofer again. Otherwise, it’s a “set it once and forget it” fix.
Your Move: Get Unbanned and Back to League
At the end of the day, you have two options.
You can gamble on the appeal, wait endlessly, and hope Riot lifts your ban. Or you can grab control and guarantee you’ll be back on the Rift by your next break.
Getting locked out sucks. But it doesn’t have to be the end. If you’re ready to stop waiting and start playing, Sync Spoofer is the most reliable shortcut.
