false permanent ban for exploits when i’ve never downloaded exploits for any game ever
hi.. so i never thought i’d be here doing this but i’m at my last resort. i was banned for section 7 exploits or hacks, but i’ve seriously guys seriously never downloaded or exploited ever. i don’t even know how to do that or where to download hacks dude i wouldn’t even do that because that account was so precious to me i had ignite bundle and everything. i know how the system works and how it reviews cases, and how something clearly must’ve been found on your pc to flag it and permanently suspend you but genuinely i have no idea what that could be. my only assumption would be i got hacked which makes complete sense considering a few things, but still after 4 tickets and a deep investigation i asked them to do on the ip addresses and everything they still inevitably and unfortunately told me “the ban was correctly given and your account was used to get an unfair advantage” there’s a list of programs that will get you banned even though they’re not exactly valorant cheats that someone sent here, and that’s honestly gonna be so helpful for people so thank you to whoever sent that. but i didn’t have any of those programs what so ever. i did have logitech g hub but no macros. i now just learnt what that even meant. im not a hardcore gamer nor tech person 💔 i barely had anything on my computer let alone exploits. i’m genuinely so confused so if any of you can help, please let me know. i dont expect to get my account back anymore, i dont foresee that happening ive tried everything. but if any of you have any explanations to why this happened or what program could’ve flagged the anti cheat please let me know if you can.

also it doesn’t help that it feels that in their responses to me in the tickets are a bit.. passive aggressive. i understand they have to be this way but as someone that is genuinely confused it really upset me. each person kept mentioning that i needed to keep it fair and there’s a reasoning why exploiting is banned and how it protects the valorant community
like as someone that didn’t download exploits or hacks for any game it just feels so confusing like getting convicted of a crime you didn’t do and getting penalized for it 💔

thank you so much, ive unfortunately already reviewed this list a couple of times and i dont have any of that. besides steam and discord overlay
oh you saw it in other people’s post
what did you say in the first ticket
your list was the one i mentioned, it’s really helpful it just doesn’t help my case
and did anyone else have access to your account recently
boyfriend included
i basically explained how i thought i was hacked, and it was my friend but it was now confirmed it wasn’t so im really confused, like genuinely the only thing that would make sense would be it would be that friend and i was hacked. but they double checked and did a “deep investigation” and they confirmed it was me so i’m just so confused
that friend was very into hacks and stuff so it makes so much sense that it would be them right??
but they still deny it to this day and it’s been 2 years
and now riot is saying it was me
so im just like ??
goodluck all im gonna say
well i’m no riot dev but the way im thinking about it is even if you don’t have any of those programs, maybe your friend did and if he logs into your account with it then it would be the same as you having it
facts
thank you, i really appreciate it
i think i’m just cooked 💔
probably
LOL
are u hardware banned
uhh im not sure what that means..
can u make a new account
like they ban your pc from playing?
yes
nooo i can make a new acc just fine
ive always been able to
i also got a new pc tho so i can anyways
oh well ur lucky for that
what rank were u
riot is stubborn so after the first ticket they just start to ignore u
the reason i havent is just because it saddens me to have to start over after so many hours invested and money
i was hardstuck iron for awhile
not very good but it wasn’t my rank that i care about lol
not a very competitive person
the skins 💔
i liked to collect the pretty skins
as stated I had ignite bundle and omg that was my fav ever

ah rip
I was very kind and sweet to them in tickets too but ofc they don’t care about that lol
I provided sm evidence too
time to switch game
they switch ppl too can’t even have a conversation with the same person
