I just got the first hardware ban??!?!?
So, I was on pearl in comp and my entire team was off comms and ignoring my attempts to organize a push. We were losing bad, and I was playing as sage, so it was a bit difficult to do it on my own.
I got upset and shouted "hey [f-slurs], if I lose RR I'm coming to your house and setting of a nuclear bomb" Now I'm permanently hardware banned.
Now that I think about it though, it's totally appropriate. What if my bad words decided to do something CRAZY once they got into their ears?? That would be bad, and someone could get hurt!
I know I lost over 300$ of skins, but its definitely worth it to protect those brave players ears from harm. Literally, what is even the point of the mute function?
Why would you ever cut off the flow of audio from a person saying something you don't wanna hear??? I know I would definitely keep listening to that person and obsessively try to get everyone in the lobby to report them.

It sounds like you’re frustrated about the situation, but the use of discriminatory language and threats of violence are taken very seriously by Riot Games. Such behavior can lead to penalties including hardware bans. Threats of harm, even as idle or emotional expressions, violate the community guidelines and terms of service. Riot's decision on a hardware ban is typically non-negotiable due to the severity of the infraction.
Regarding your skins and other in-game assets, unfortunately, they are tied to your account, and a ban would mean losing access to those. You may attempt to appeal by submitting a ticket via the VALORANT Support Site, but please consider that the context and seriousness of the misconduct will be taken into account.

Did you really get hwid ban?
Yeah while playing pearl in comp
maybe don’t say the f slur.. 😭
@Saucywan hey buddy it's not solved
If you think a permanent ban for bad words makes sense you need to leave society and stay inside at all times
like there’s a reason you got banned, it didn’t happen for no reason. you said a derogatory thing and now you’re upset over the consequences
It is very much solved no one can help you here
To appeal your ban please make a ticket
I'm arguing the merits of the reason and you're just repeating the reason
not very smart
sure you should’ve have gotten hardwire banned, but that’s a slur against a group of people, what did you expect?
shouldn’t have gotten*
Oh no the MAGIC bad word
you're just repeating yourself
and not engaging
i honestly don’t know because they already said it was unappealable
pearl.. in comp....?
Caught brother tripping
:val_KekwSob:
Why do you think I'd respond with "on pearl in comp" to someone asking if it really happened?
To convince them?
pearl isnt in the comp rotation
so you didnt
Are you slow
You're actually sloe

So it didn't happen, you're so miserable that you're mad something never happened?
Do you eat rocks for breakfast
i think there’s more to the story based on the way you’re treating these people right now. i don’t think that was the only time you said something like that
and based off your character you kinda deserved that punishment
This one still thinks it happend
happened
so you made a thread about a hwid ban to just mess around
gotcha
but based off of the way you are treating people right now, i feel like you really do do that in your games. i feel bad for your teammates. truly
"that'll show 'em" they probably thought to themselves
i dont think ur team is the problem
:haha:
😭😭😭
Your mother
good one
have a great day anyway though
hope your day gets better!
for real
i hope everything is okay
