HWID concern before Feb 14 ban lift
❔Question
Hey Riot devs / mods, I’m hoping to get some clarity on a HWID-related concern.
I previously received a VAL HWID ban that’s scheduled to be lifted on February 14th. Since then, I’ve realized that my motherboard serial appears to be spoofed (I’m on an MSI motherboard). I didn’t intentionally spoof to bypass Vanguard, and to address this I’ve already contacted MSI support to help restore my original hardware serials.
My concern is that even after the ban lifts, this could still cause my account to be flagged later on and result in another ban. I really want to make sure I’m fully compliant before returning and avoid any future issues.
Is there a recommended way to verify that my hardware identifiers are clean before logging back in, or someone I should contact directly for guidance? I’m happy to cooperate however needed — just trying to do the right thing.
Thanks for your time
