  @drewlevin Hello Drew Levin, I apologise for once again commenting about this issue :c I have tried so hard to contact support only to be shut down again and again. My name is Blythe (riot account is SimpCat#Meow,) I have been playing league for a few years now in the OCE server. It is a very important part of my life, I’ve met life long friends and my amazing fiancé, Samuel, while playing league of legends. A few months ago my fiancé’s account, (noXis#Kayn) was breached by an overseas IP and subsequently banned for scripting. When we logged off the evening prior nothing was out of the ordinary—we ragequit after getting absolutely smashed two games in a row (rip) and then opted to play minecraft to chill out instead. Fast forward to the following day we go to log into our accounts as per normal only to learn that Sam’s been perma banned. We were both absolutely shocked, heartbroken and confused, I instantly went into my previous game logs, clicked on his profile and went into his recent game history. We found 3 games of ARAM mayhem had been played on his account within an hour of us logging off for the evening—in such games we absolutely saw the person using scripts. After doing some digging through emails we came to learn that Samuel’s email address had been compromised through one of the Australian Optus breaches, in his archived emails we found multiple log in attempts for his riot account, two of which had been successful. They turned off his 2FA for easier and more discreet access. We reached out to the riot support team via the ticket system for help, explaining what had happened as well as the sentimental value of this account. We were subsequently informed that a manual review of the games show scripts and any further ticket will be auto-closed. We KNOW scripts were used, we reviewed the games via my account and could see them clear as day—the issue was that his account had been breached unlawfully and subsequently banned for an offence he did not commit! We’ve both been actively working over these past few months to try and get some kind of help from ANYONE only to be shut down again and again. I have refused to touch league of legends, TFT and Riftbound since this has happened. We have both never shared our account details with anyone and he did have 2FA on. He did all the right things to secure his account and it was still compromised :c I have been disheartened, disappointed and frustrated. I understand that you are a busy person and that the you do not represent the support team, I’m just looking for some kind of advice, guidance and direction on how to get the support team to open an investigation! Just today we got another email about an attempted log in from overseas! Please, please help. I’m begging you :c Thank you for your time, i apologise once again and I look forward to hearing from you.

  @JaniceB72627796 I'm wondering if Optus had a problem. Will be interested to hear if you receive it later

  @archerroberts9 This is where it sucks for an interstate team. They have to do it outside their home ground. If the granny was at Optus, then freo is 75%+. Coz it's at the G they are 50%. Swans, lions, hawks 15% each.

  @Gizmologist_ Funny how telco’s never had this problem before wouldn’t surprise me if Telstra orchestrated Optus outage to knock them out of the market like Qantas did to Rex blocking airports We’ve had polair lately at night doing thermal mapping of the area fly round almost 2hrs each time

  @WestCoastEagles so Milan derby at Optus. In what part of the oval are they going to situate the rather tiny pitch? And are they erecting seating on a surface that's already having problems?

  @ImissFrosty Two Vic sides- right? And took a pandemic for said finals to even be at Optus- right? If you just wanna talk ****, have at it. But my point is telling us to learn how to handle hostile crowds at the G is tricky when we get fk all opportunities to do so.

  @VibewireCentral What is the business case for 6G? Can we get rid of our non services and only run on the radio network? @Optus

  @LCHF_Matt I had this same NBN box when I was with Optus internet. I got rid of it when I changed to full fibre with Aussie BB. I hated Optus, but I have to say, the NBN box itself never failed in all the years I had it. Will be interested to hear how you go with Starlink

  @AFL @barrettdamian @JoeyPigz I mean sure, they just **** their pants the last time they were there. And a Freo side that had top spot locked up lost two of its last three games. Neither of which was at Optus.
