looks like you weren’t respectful?
i will say although false bans exist the majority of the complaints are people that just unknowingly broke rules
van 152 is a hardware ban
i’m aware
but that’s what the text says
how?
i did nothing
it says i used software or something
oh well yeah i guess i was reading the bottom lines but i thought those are just generic
did you make a ticket
yeah
what did you say
falsely banned ofc
lol
Still nothing...
Same
yea bro i got banned too today for scripting cheating or hacking ive never hacked my life like wtf
the guy respond and said the punishment was placed corectly

im perm suspended

i had msi and process hacker for minecraft
the official one
what was the sequence of events
did you play valorant get off play minecraft go back on valorant or
never launched mc
that day
You don’t necessarily have to be running cheats the same day
Vanguard delays its bans, meaning you could be running cheats the day prior and got banned the next day.
^
Frankly you shouldn’t install cheats for any game bc you’re always risking getting banned in valorant for it
wow
i had this account since 2020
wow man
so much skins
idk man
don’t cheat in minecraft
that’s just our guess tho
could be something else
from my days of experience reading people’s false bans posts lol
Bro what does Minecraft have to do with valorant at this point 😭
That's stupid
you’re not getting banned for playing minecraft
you’re getting banned for downloading cheats
regardless of the game it’s for
Bro I downloaded the cheats 6 months ago
And never got banned
Untill today
that’s why i said it’s an unofficial list bc i don’t work for riot so i wouldn’t put money on it
that’s just my guess
all i know
is they will ban you for anything suspicious
it doesn’t necessarily have to be running or be for valorant
just depends
I mean idk why would they
i’m just tryna help ppl understand how riot thinks to help you hopefully avoid it next time
but that's stupid
well usually
I can't even make a new account bro
their mythology is to stop cheating before it gets into the game
if your minecraft cheats uses dll injection
all vanguard sees is that
it doesn’t know what its purpose is or what game it’s for
and it doesn’t care
it’s not gonna wait for you to get in the game to ban you
yeah it was a dll for minecraft
specifically
but It does not have anything to do with val
I mean I don't know how that works but
Still is not fair
Like atleast make me able to make a new account
not just ban my whole system
Cause I'm not gonna get a whole new setup for that
you know that and i know that
but anti cheat doesn’t know that
and since you were banned for having a dll injector you wouldn’t get unbanned bc it’s still a cheat
the only way you’d get unbanned is if you can show that it wasn’t a malicious program
which is is, just not for valorant
yeah that sucks
I mean I can show anyone that it's meant for Minecraft
I just don't understand why would they ban the whole system
Like atleast I want to make a new account
I'm not buying a whole new pc just to play the game again bruh I'll just quit 💔
for cheats hardware ban makes sense
bc if not they can just make a new account and cheat again
theoretically
But I did not cheat on Valorant
Doesn’t matter. Why even cheat on other games?
pretty sure riot is the only company that handles it this way
I can get banned just for having msi afterburner and rtss?
normally no, i just made a list of things that could possibly be flagged
this is
if RTSS hooks into DirectX/OpenGL/Vulkan to overlay info or if Vanguard detects RTSS’s hook as a code injection or overlay, it could be flagged as suspicious if RTSS is outdated or you’re using custom RTSS plugins or modify RTSS config manually
that’s just my opinion though nothing proven
ah
well i really hope so, ill also delete ahk too then
better be safe than sorry
did you have any of those programs
no
this is rediculous
absolutely rediculous
how is a virus giving me an advantage in game?
how is this so called "program on your computer and not just for using it in-game. " giving me an advantage
in game
bruh
it’s not the fact that’s it’s giving you an advantage and malicious doesn’t necessary mean virus
You have something that has the potential to give you an advantage that a person who wouldn’t have some intention of cheating in some aspect wouldn’t have at all
They try to stop cheating before it gets to the game so they don’t wait for people’s experiences to get ruined to do something about it if they can stop it early
In their mindset *
bro but
this is rediculous
maybe
i’m not the ceo tho so
i am not responsible of any of this
if i cheated maybe
or had advantage
well you are responsible because it’s on your computer you downloaded it
unaware yeah
but you like
get me
yeah i get u
i think it’s silt
silly
just is what it is
yea hell nah
imma fuck riot for this
that’s why i don’t download nothing but games off steam
i ain't no avg player
lmao
imma contact FUT
who that
some of my friends
Pro team
vct
cause this is nonsense
lemme know what happens i’m locked in
i gotta
talk to a real riot agent
here
maybe they would be more responsive
other than getting "ban is correct" the most AI way possible
you gotta ping em
even though everyone says don’t ping em
where
here
with ur riot id
i’m on mobile so i can’t see whose online
and i can’t remember their name off the top of my head

these are them no?
oh i don’t know any of them
no bt like
is it staff
or mod
depends on their job i think idk if they all have access to look it up
yeah they’re staff
@Riot Schmick help
this one is ?
i don't know
i don’t think she would lol she just hangs out in general chat sometimes
oh :/
I only know the (don’t ping)something gecko guy and another person i can’t remember
what about @VoiDzz
those are the only ones i’ve seen do it
@ gamerdoc or smth
He’s head of anticheat
@ItsGamerDoc
is he?
i hope he anwsers
cause i fr need hm
There was a riot employee named gecko helping ppl
A few days ago
he’s an anti cheat analyst, not the head *
idrc tbh
just sayin
nope, i dont work on anti-cheat and have no ban or unban power
if you’re allowed to disclose this, what do you do? Im curious as to what roles people working at riot have
i am allowed : ) details in my profile
it’s in her bio
yeah
but to answer more broadly, there are many different disciplines in game dev - software engineering, art, production, design, concept, writing/lore, UI/UX, QA, delivery, data analysis, commerce, publishing, etc. and the roles work on many different types of problems like player behavior, progression, match making, competitive, esports, commerce, business development, anti-cheat, app/info sec, player support, etc. etc.
is coding a part of the anti cheat team
in addition, there are depts at Riot that aren't related to game dev, like human resources, finance, business development, marketing, legal, etc.
i know they made vanguard but does that mean everyone works on the updates for it
yes, they have software engineers on their team
oh alright
i doubt it. most teams have many diff roles.
good to know
i heard for teams like that most people get transferred into it from other positions
they probably have a product owner, a delivery lead, an engineering manager, etc.
not necessarily applying outright
if you mean for anti-cheat specifically, i really wouldnt know. i have never worked in that area. but i know of at least of few that were hired into riot.
Oh okay, thank you!
appreciate you taking the time to go into depth, didnt expect that lol
hello
but would you mind specifying if one of your agents has made a mistake?

they told me this
but the problem is my account is indeed compromised
like i agree with banning my pc id and all if it's risky
but my account has nothing to do with this
they’re not her agents
she’s in a completely different department
has nothing to do with that
oh okay
what about you bro
what you think
i sent u the list my boy
that’s all i got

is this a scam?
Most likely
that’s the fattest scam i’ve ever seen
no one is gonna be able to unban you
and even if they did they’d be risking getting sued and going to jail
Even if an anti-cheat dev unbans a player, all they need is the in game name and tag
hi
i dont have any way of doing that. i dont work in anti-cheat. i dont work in support. i have no access to tickets or account info.
10000000000%
would mind
ANY DM u get that tells you to click a link and log into your account is 1000% a scam
connecting me with one of those who work in anti-cheat
it would mean the world to me
i dont know any of them. i have no way to connect you
iam devistated bro
honestly i hate to believe that my passion is gone jus like that
i understand, and i get that it sucks
like i have a semi pro game coming up this summer
they wouldn't believe me
idk
whoever prayed for my downfall won acc
ggs
can you add me :3
no
can you not add me :val_HeyApple:
):
lol
double no
i get far too many requests
do you like being famous
i'm not famous
ik but like its just for the account i won't message you 😭
i do feel ghosted
just for what account?
it was a nonsensical request so i ignored it
wanna hear a joke:val_Hampter:
uhh idk how to explain but like having a riot employee as a friend is superior lol
ig if you feel like telling one
exactly - and so many people ask to add me just for the purposes of displaying me like a trophy. no thank you
two guys stole a calendar, they got 6 month each :val_KEKW:
sounds pretty famous to me
that’s pretty funny actually
you won’t believe whose in my friends list-
its not like that but alright
it’s totally like that
u literally just said it was
💀
no one outside this discord has ever heard of me. sounds p not famous
i said its something good but not for display
and it's not me that's famous or that they want specifically - it's the "Riot" part of my name. any rioter will do. doesn't have to be me.
i mean like there is half a mil ppl on this server so 500000 people know you
true but doesn’t this server have a million players in it or at least a few hundred thousand
also true
and that's a tiny % of the human race
that's hardly anyone % wise
my flex that i cant get a riot gun buddy :val_Heh:
i meannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn its still alot
maybe but the average person maybe only meets 100k individual people in their life so in terms of that, it’s more people than you’ll ever know yourself
all about perspective
ur pretty famous to
in ur biggest fan
u're
and thank you, want my autograpth
i would love ur autograpth
so i can sell it for vp
:val_HeyApple:
wait how tf did you get color role
bc i wanted to be special
how do i become special
u can’t
my mom always called me special
if we’re both special then i’m less special
since i got my autism
and i want to be the most special
stay purple
:val_Hampter:
damn
not enough to make me famous
it is, and in my perspective < 1% of the human race having heard of you doesn't make u famous
loooooooool
prestigious*
rs
i meannnnnnnnn some famous singers have that numbner of listerners per night
wait
ment month
i havent had my dailt 20 monsters today so im sleepy
it was good right
i would not consider myself famous. 🤷♀️
dont hate on yourself thats not diva behavior sis:Clove_Hearts:
☠️
idk what happend but i was flying
and got the kill
diva behavior
looks like hacks to me
have fun getting banned noob
:val_Hampter:
guys
if i hate myself am i homophonic then?
yes
“It’s Schmick!”
“Who?”
“The Riot employee?”
“No clue”
this is what i believe would happen outside this discord
i'm not : ) not being famous is unrelated to how i feel about myself
