HWID Ban after 4 Months – When Will We Finally Get Unbanned?
Hey Valorant community,
I want to bring attention to an issue that many of us are facing: the HWID ban. According to Riot’s official rules, the ban should lift after 4 months. But how many of us have waited this period and still haven’t been unbanned?
It seems like once the 4 months are over, new excuses appear. Instead of being unbanned, we’re told it could take another month. When that month passes, we’re then told that something is still on our PC, even after factory resetting it! This is incredibly frustrating for those who have either learned from their mistakes or never cheated in the first place but are still stuck with a HWID ban.
While it's essential to punish cheaters, some may deserve a second chance. There are players who want to play fairly again, and even people who never cheated but are affected by the HWID ban – and now they can never play again.
Has anyone here actually been unbanned after an HWID ban? If so, how did you manage it? It would be great if Riot Games consistently enforced the rule, as stated on their website.
Let’s stand together as a community and hope that this process becomes fairer. Everyone deserves a clear answer and a real chance to play again after the 4-month wait!

U r not trying to log into the same account u got banned on, are u?
this is chat gpt right
The support told me that I was unbanned and could play again, but then another support member mentioned that it might take an extra month. I waited that month, and still nothing has changed. I haven’t created any new accounts during this time, but when I ask why I haven’t been unbanned, they suddenly claim that something was detected on my PC, even though I completely reset my Pc This isn't just my problem—many others here on Discord are facing the same issue. It seems like the real issue lies with the Valorant support.
Is it really a problem if its ChatGPT? Nobody cares about that
I'm just curious dw
there's a reason I pinged jidat and not you
you don't get unbanned from the account
only the hardware ban gets removed
you have to start from a new account
If I create a new account, it will just get banned immediately.
it gets banned in the middle of the game
whats the error
also when exactly did you get banned
HWID bans, can be any amount of time specifically 4 months or permanent
You should remember that the time you are unbanned, Is not in your local time zone. But in the time zone of Los Angeles
(Riot Headquarters)
