i keep getting banned

so i logged into valorant today to play comp and halfway thru the first game i get this error (the image attached) and it kicks me from the game. It proceeds to happen 2 more times with it banning me for 1 minute, 3 minutes, and now 15. Does anyone know what could have caused this? I logged onto my friends account today to help him finish a comp game but i dont think that could have caused it

well it says it violated the TOS §7 this refers to the user rules which govern stuff like don't cheat, don't be racist etc one of the rules is this one:
14. Playing on another person’s account or otherwise engaging in activity intended to “boost” an account’s status or rank;
I didn't personally know valorant actually have started to prevent account sharing but you are technically violating the TOS

i guess that is true, but many instances of this have come up before with account sharing and nothing happened to me

I guess it could be due to this rule then maybe?
7. Avoiding, bypassing, removing, deactivating, impairing, descrambling or otherwise circumventing any technological measure implemented by Riot or any third party to protect or control access to the Riot Services or any part thereof;
perhaps they are trying to crack down on ban evading

if for example you got a ban on your main account and then switched over to play on your friends account, that is classified as ban evasion and is covered under this rule as not allowed

idk, you may want to contact riot support for this one, can't guarantee they will lift it if this really is some weird type of restriction due to account sharing though
