is it possible that when i bought this pc from my friend that he was hardware banned and sold me it?
Hardware bans only last 4 months & it could be possible

Submit a support ticket here: https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/requests/newwell i put in a request and they said it was placed correctly and further tickets would be denied
i don’t think that’s fair with no explanation as to what
i placed two tickets so far in 72 hours
Ah, I see. There's really not much they can do if you got a PC from a friend that was HWID banned for having cheats on it.
i’m asking
i’m not saying he did cheat
but i’m saying this is so weird cus i haven’t cheated on valorant
i been playing for so long
i even do tiktok content
like it makes me upset
the second ticket has no response rn
It can take a few days for them to reply
yeah i understand that
i just don’t think it’s fair they can close my ticket with no explanation just saying they will deny any request
a
just not realistic
for a game company
I mean you aren't the only person that needs help
I mean that's a straight answer that the punishment wont be lifted
but no explanation as to what exactly got me banned
I mean having anything that would compromise game integrity would get you HWID banned so
they hwid ban on first offense
i haven’t done anything
When did you buy the PC or first started playing on that PC
i let my friend use my val account on there until i could buy it
welp
yeah
this sucks
when did you buy it ?
3 days ago i think
yeah todays 2
tmr is 3
the same day i bought it i played valorant
So you’re saying, your friend played on your acc and on that PC before you bought it :val_SusgeNoted:
like he’s used my account before
i recently moved to orlando
couldn’t take everything
Account sharing itself is bannable
it is?
Yes
wow ok
i really didn’t know that
And you should’ve reset the PC before hopping on Val
true
well i guess i’ll take the 4 months rather than never again
riot id?
