HWID ban end dates given by riot support are conflicting :(
Hi everyone,
About 3 to 4 months ago I got HWID banned (my brother and I installed cheats for rust, cs, and valo on my laptop so naturally I ended up HWID banned)
The first time I asked support when my HWID ban ends they told me the 23rd of February.
I've opened support tickets across multiple accounts and I'm recieveing different answers
One of them says my HWID ban ends on the 25th of March. One of them says it ends February 25th.
Another says that support can't see when my HWID ban ends but it should end around February 25th.
Anyway, you get it. It's conflicting.
If I were to attempt to test if I'm unbanned tonight (February 25th) would I be extending or resetting the ban if it in fact ends on (March 25th)???

well if you dont have cheats installed still then no it wouldnt extend/reset the ban, but the account you chose the play on would get perm banned
btw any account you played on while you got banned is now perm banned and you cant recover it even after HWID ban is over
riot support can sometimes be really shitty. this happened to another guy and he ended up getting his account banned because of riot support, and no, it did not get unbanned despite it being their fault
Yeah I asked them on one of my accounts and they said in their response I should use a different account to avoid getting my main banned
But like, I've heard if you log in again the HWID ban will extend
if you still have cheats installed
Nah i havent had them for months but before when I got like 3 of my accounts banned I'm a little worried that I mightve gotten val 5 error (HWID ban) twice? I've seen its permanent on the second time but not entirely sure how that works
Val 152 is HWID
or -9001 or something along those lines
Val 5 does occur after like the second account that gets HWID banned though
perm bans are well perm
that account is gone entirely
you cannot get it back
Oh i see so basically val 5 is the error you get for accounts you play on after val 152?
yeah
learned that info from a cheater. didnt even know thats how it worked prior
I honestly can't remember if either of us used cheats after being HWID banned the first time (like within the same day) but is it possible to get Val 152 again on the same day twice?
VAL 152 Occurs when you have a HWID ban and you attempt to log in to an account seperate to the one that was already perm suspended
Oh i see
Is it possible to get HWID banned twice the same day then?
Like perm HWID banned
Uhm
I don't think perm HWID bans exist
I mean if it does I have no idea
I mean, just randomize your hardware ID's. Windows has that feature natively as they are used to track people. IMO HWID Bans are dumb, almost IP Address ban levels of dumb, but we dont have any say in that.
Nah i deserved it seeing as i used cheats tbf
Hwid makes more sense than IP
But randomizing your HWID wont work bc they bad the disk / motherboard associated im pretty sure
IP bans mean that the dev team is not thinking.
You can still randomize that.
Yeah but like
I have a lenovo laptop
So hwid spoofers dont work
Plus if it didn't work id probably get an extended ban or smth
Basically riot knows if u mess with your HWID
Tbh i still dont wanna bypass it even if its possible (idk ive asked some people who cheat and its not possible because i have a lenovo laptop ) bc i did cheat and i deserve it but i just wanna know when it ends lol
