Trying to appeal hardware ban
Aight so I got hardware banned like 3ish years ago and havent been able to play the game since. Ive filed like three different appeals, and no offense to riot, but the automated appeals system is fairly useless.
For some context, I got hardware banned for a first time offense of verbal abuse (apparently), and its just kind of bs. If anyone has any tips please lmk.

A Hardware ban expires in 4 months.
was this your first offense?
Mhm
And your hardware ban is still active?
Correct
Cant access any of my accounts
But you can play the game on another account?
No, its a hardware ban
So long as I keep my hwid serial number I cant play
Are you sure? the hardware ban system expires after 4 months.
For all types of cheating bans and even toxic bans, all hardware bans expire after 4 months.
Believe me, I try to log on every few months on various accounts and I am very much still hwid banned
All the responses to my appeals confirm as much
Unaware of a fix sorry, i would say contact support but i don't know why you're still banned since it should've expired.
@Icarus ^^
Supports all automated so it doesnt really do much of anything
Did you try reinstalling windows, vanguard might be bugging
First thing I tried like 3 years ago
Hmm
Not keen on doing it again
Just try reinstalling vanguard
;vgc
- Open the Task Manager > Details tab
- End the task on all VALORANT, Riot Client and VANGUARD-related apps/services
- Open the Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
- Uninstall Riot VANGUARD
- Open CMD as Admin and type these commands:
- sc delete vgc
- sc delete vgk
- Navigate to your C: Drive, then Program Files
- Find the VANGUARD folder and delete it
- Open the Riot Client and click update
- Restart your computer after the update
After you’re done with that:
- Press Windows key + R
- Type services.msc
- Look for vgc
- Right-click on vgc > Properties
- Change the startup type to automatic
- Start the services (if not started already)
We will be waiting for your response, thank you.
