Vanguard permanent ban
I’ve recently received a permanent HWID ban in Valorant, and I genuinely have no idea why. I’ve never used cheats, never broken any rules, and have always played the game fairly. I’m just a regular, honest player who enjoys Valorant.
After the ban, I tried everything I could to figure out what may have caused it. I even reinstalled Windows completely, thinking maybe some old software or background program might have triggered a false detection — something I came across in several Reddit discussions. Despite that, the ban remains.
What’s even more frustrating is that every support ticket I submit gets automatically closed, without any clear explanation or chance to defend myself. I’ve provided all my clean stats and history, but it seems like no one is actually reviewing the case.
It honestly feels like a huge disrespect towards legitimate players. Punishing innocent users through automated systems without proper investigation is not only disheartening, but also damaging to the community. I'm not the only one – YouTube, Twitter, Reddit – they're full of players experiencing the same thing.
This isn’t just a personal issue anymore. It’s becoming a wider problem, and it’s truly unfortunate to see loyal players being pushed away like this.

So you don't have an explanation for why I was banned for no reason, but you think I should wait?

Just so yk, Cheats/auto mods/hot keys for other games can get you banned on valo as well.
@Lost Duck make a player support ticket and tell them that your account got compromised
