HWID ban for literally no reason
So as the title says: I had recieved a HWID ban which sucks because I have spent a couple hundred dollars in skins and had some exclusive battle pass skins I really enjoyed. Though I am upset about losing my skins and not being able to recover the account I am mostly upset I wont be able to play for 120 days and have no idea why this is the case. I made a ticket to find out what caused the HWID ban but I got literally no clarification as to what caused it. As of now I can only narrow it down to 3 options. (These are some things that I had open when I had last played)
1: Modded minecraft. I play minecraft with mods and I have some mods that do some more complicated things like sending webhooks to discord to get updates from my phone when I am not at my PC.
2: Keyboard software. I got a HE keyboard and because of my opinions of rapid trigger I am constantly switching between rapid trigger on and off and because of this I have just decided to put my keyboards software on startup so I can turn it on and off at anytime without having to open it up again (I use the GamaKay TK75HE and use the provided software for the keyboard)
3: VPN. I have a VPN on startup but I typically just disable it anyways.
Are any of these reasons that I could've recieved a HWID ban? Any help is appreciated and if you know someone who can help me since riot support have to be some of the most unhelpful people ever I would also appreciate that. Thanks in advance!

leave it to valorant to make their best piece of advice to me to basically be 'wipe your pc and start over'
I have exactly the same problem as you
Never cheated on VALORANT the only things that vanguard could have detected and got me ban was mods on gta story mode so not even online or another thing to play 3ds games on pc but nothing about VALORANT and I get ban for no reason and as you said I’ve never seen a support as unhelpful as them they don’t clarify anything they just don’t answer your tickets
right? like where am i supposed to backup nearly 3 tb of storage
this hapenned to me, they just unbanned me
did they tell you caused vanguard to ban you?
Yeah you got lucky cause when I submit a ticket they close it without giving any reason so when they do that it’s basically that they don’t want to unban you but like bruh I haven’t cheated on the game
I already submitted 4 tickets and they got all closed
yeah they did the same with me
everytime i try to get clarification on what got me banned they just give me the same ctrl c ctrl v response
and then close my ticket
yeah same the bot says if the ban is not reconsidered we eont respond but like wtf check my account it takes them litteraly 5 mins to see that i never cheated
might be the VPN thing you mentioned? i don’t think vanguard likes VPNs.
no its not the vpn you can use vpns
