Temporarily suspended
anyone know what this is about? I created a ticket and got an automated response
"Hey there,
ALPH-1 here with an automated update about your inquiry regarding a penalty on this account.
I got your message and passed it off to one of our agents, who's taking another look. They should finish up in about one or two days.
If they discover we've made a mistake, they'll reach out to you about how that penalty will be modified or removed.
But if they find the penalty was correctly given, then this ticket will be closed and the penalty will remain—you won't receive any other notifications.
For any other questions about how our penalty systems work, check out our online resources:

LOL: https://support-leagueoflegends.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038430973-League-of-Legends-Suspension-Ban-FAQ
Finally, if this request isn't actually about a penalty appeal, hold tight—your agent will reach out to you once they've had a look at the ticket."
I made another ticket after this asking for a reply from a human which I received but it was as followed
The ban says temporary suspension but I am beginning to feel like its a permanent ban? any ideas?

Hello,
Spark939 here today.
It is totally understandable that you would like to continue appealing this penalty and to assure that it was correctly applied.
This shows us that the account is very valuable to you.
After looking into your issue I was able to find that your request was already denied in Ticket #111212480.
We have re-investigated the penalty and once again it's deemed as correctly applied, so we will not revert this decision.
Considering that we have investigated the penalty on multiple occasions, with the final decision remaining the same, this will be our last answer regarding this suspension.
Please check out our articles for penalties when you have the time:
Since we can not go into more details abut the penalty due to our policies, we consider this matter closed.
Best regards,

this is what the riot support agent toldd me after i requested that a real human give me a response
more or less said it wont be reverted and dodged my question on if it will ever be lifted or the suspension time
If riot support denies your appeal and won’t unban you, then there’s nothing anyone else can do.
i didnt ask if anyone else can do anything
then what u want
i was wondering if anyone had "any ideas"
any information they can give me
nothing
anyone had any experience with this in the past
nothing from you
thanks
leave it to the next person who views this
lol
jesus
dont get ragebaited to hard
^ beyond this, there are no “ideas” that can really help you.
how?
i made this clear
that i asked this
if someone views this
had the same issue
and was told that it was permanent or temporary
then there is someone who can give me insight to my problem
?
lol
If it says temp ban, then most prob 2 week ban
theres no timer though, ive been seeing people with temp bans that almost always have timers
the cases where ive seen ppl with the same msg as me no timer have contacted the support and they claimed 3rd party tools or whatever
They got the ban time from the tickets reply
they didnt say that to me and claimed "Since we can not go into more details abut the penalty due to our policies, we consider this matter closed"
yeah
.
as well
ignored my question on time
14 days
:vSadCat:
you certain on that?
like did u receive the same suspension?
yes
yes
sweet
ssee this iss what i was looking for @Matsui @Metamorphosis
a good person coming to save the day
The good news is that this is not a permanent ban, and that it will expire on March 6th after 22:31 UTC so you will be able to resume playing from this account then.
thank you @E
sweet
ywl ❤️
what do you think the ban was from
just curious on your thoughts
I don't know but I tried to find out why
pre sure mine was bcc id have my friend login mid game
but not certain
:BleachAizenSip: if you know any think tell me
will do
Do you use tracker @! hayden
And @E
And will you guys please share the exact timing of your suspension
Ok so my friend also got temp suspended
the ban is bc of tracker
Yeah i think so too
Most of the accounts got suspended at the same time
I think
nah no chance
every person I know that uses trn live tracker app got banned
legit no chance its bc tracker
Brother trust me on this
wait maybe
😭
I have asked multiple people on reddits and discord already
the say its 3rd party app
They all used live trn
nah wait im on a alt rn used it no ban
im not bannedd for this
nor did they say that in ticket
It’s mostly a false alarm by vanguard
also a friend of mine
hasnt played in like
1+ year
neverr used tracker
got banned randomly too
but
he got hard boosted
by a friend
like diamond - immortal
i think its something they recently implemented
Ur lucky my friend logged in on 4 of his alt accounts about 16 hours ago every one of those accounts sre suspended
and just set it live
aand its banning all alt accounts/accounts that were smurfed on
it adds up to be that
Prolly played with a cheater
it makes sense
nah solo q
Prolly the booster was the cheater
nah
They won’t implement such hard measures
hes not banned
ik him
It will kill the game
not neccesarily
bc another one of my friends isnt banned
however he account shares
BUT
he was never "boosted"
got response by some people who think the ban was for using valotracker, nice
just shared account here and there
lmao
i mean who knows
it genuinely could be but i doubt it
half of the community would get a ban if this was the case
im more than certain its for account sharing/boosting
more than half
but more boosting than account sharing
im 99.999% sure the ban is bc of valotracker

The thing is tracker is not responsible for this
Vanguard is
nah cus this dont say 3rd paarty
lol
it says suspicious acctivity
same as mine
which is indicating hacked/compromised account
As i said earlier every live account with live trn got suspended at the same time
which falls under account sharing if you willingly dsid that
ya but
Just to let you know my friend didn’t share his account
how many of those people are confirmed to have never shared accounts
🤷♀️ not sure then
It wont say third party, but it is
Account sharing or boosting is not the case here
Please share the time when you got suspended
uh
like
4;30
then went on my alt
same rank cus im him
and after 3 games
it got banned too
my friend got the same msg yesterday around 10pm
I didnt check mine tho
I saw my ban today
no
I found some screenshots on a forum tho

only crosshair x
Account Temporarily Suspended - VALORANT
Hey, can someone explain to me why they could suspend me for what exactly when i wasn't using any third part software and there is no timer that shows end of suspension
Is that a third party software?
no its only give me a crooshair
Its from steam right
Let’s wait for riot’s reply
yes
🙏🏻 :val_Hampter:

Gamerdoc alrdy addressed this on twitter
It is supposed to be a 14 day ban for using stuff like skin changers
U prob have something on ur pc that acts like a skin changer and vanguard flagged it
Could be tracker
could you share the tweet plz
btw there is no unsuspension date mentioned anywhere

ok so its from 11th feb and if accounts did get suspended for skinchangers than why the commotion why so many people got suspended at the same time??
Ban wave :val_PepeShrug:
They prob banned eveyone who’ve used it at the same time
why no unsuspension date than?
Did u use skin changers?
nope
but i know someone who got suspension for 14 days in this thread
other suspensions are given without any unsuspension date
Yes
@! hayden take my request I want to talk you
On this matter
:val_CatBigStare:
Guys
Chill
Same thing happened to me
Some weird third party app was on my computer
And valorant banned me for that
It was a temporary ban
I maid Riot support

Hey there,️
Thank you for reaching out!
SmileyDolphin here today!
I see you have received a 2 weeks suspension on your account so I will try my best to clarify things for you.
After investigating your case, I can confirm that our Anti-Cheat team detected usage of unauthorized third party apps being used in this account, which led to this restriction being applied. One thing to keep in mind is that any type of program that interacts with VALORANT may be sufficient grounds for Vanguard to take actions.
As mentioned in our Third Party Applications article: "We can't optimize for assets we don’t develop, and we reserve the right to take action against applications that allow the use of our assets for free".
On the other hand I am happy to inform you that this is a temporary suspension which is expiring on 2025-03-06 and as long as you keep demonstrating honorable behavior after it expires, your account has a chance to be considered reformed.
Before you resume your VALORANT journey, please make sure to clean your device and delete any suspicious apps or programs that might modify VALORANT or the game files. I also recommend deleting any mods/hacks, even if they are for different games.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to write back any time!
Have a nice day!

Read this carefully
Here they Meant by using our assets for free is skin swapper
But I haven't Used Skin swapper and still got banned
Because of some DLL file
Running with my valorant
Please recheck your computers once
Thanks
How did u figure out it was that file
Taskmanager
Under valorant
There was a file
Running
Agrim dll
Then I deleted that file from my computer
The ban will be removed after 2 weeks
Eh
Bro I’m kinda pissed now that I can’t complete the battle pass
I’m lowk starting to have withdrawals
Nah i know for a fact i was not banned for a skin changer
They told me
@! hayden
Yes
You got a ban for either skin changer or any kind of suspicious 3rd party app
Maybe you don't know it exists in your computer
It's a 2 week ban what can we even do
i have the same issue
bro my 2 brother got 100 years suspention
@StarrK<3
They never once said this
I didn’t get banned for that
They did
The same mod emailed twice
About this
You are getting this ban only for 3rd party apps
Containing DLL file
Making ingame Things Free
Like skin changer
Or any other app
Or maybe a Hack
Ig it's because of Afk or leaving game mid match again and again
Bro that might be for u but that’s not the reason for everyone
i use equalizerapo that might be a reason for the ban
kid
apo eq
haha
avg raider
fk U
@Pushpa Raj who asked ?
Why is bro so triggered
?
same to em
im temporary ban and i need to go to my account today because is that skin in shop , i wait for this skin about 1 year ..
yes they send me the same think
Someone should check at 12 pm tonight
Temporary suspension is for 2 weeks i think.
It’s march 6th and I’m yet to be unbanned
Maybe I js gotta wait to a different time bc of time zones or smth
I think so my one also will come today but still didnt come
Did they say march 6th for you?
@StarrK<3 are you unbanned
Nah I am waiting
They didn't have the time fk
I Launched another mail
Idk when they will reply

I guess you are from US
@Logan what's the time there
Can anyone tell ?
It’s 2am rn
Wah
It's 3pm here
3:30pm
Yes
When you guys say-
Logan time is 2 am
Starrk time is 3: 30pm
Mine was 4 pm on that time
I’m saying you probably get unbanned the same time you got banned
thats how geography works
we will get unbanned
at the same time
but the timing will be different
in our countries
its hard to say
the timing will be same for our unbans and the timing for us will be different
where do u live
Bangladeshhhhhh

so the time difference wont be long
Yea 30 mins delay i guess

I will be very thankful to you. account name ITsYourDad #8564

@Kris @AbhimสŇyu :val_Uhh: ^

Playing any gamemode without going AFK should reduce the comp penalty
This place is only for SUSPENGERS
Imagine making a whole squad just by launching a help complaint
Guys we are getting unbanned in 50mins
For me it 3am
GUYS
GUYS
GUYS

how much?
Ok I think I didn’t explain it clearly to you 😭
You’ll have to wait out the ban, you didn’t get 1 week ban just by going afk 1 match tbh.
You can also appeal at riot support
;valsupport
:valQuestion: The community help forum is managed by the community and does not offer any official Riot support. You can create a support ticket at https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/requests/new for official support.
unbanned at 4;07
on game now
😄
gg, play safe now.
:neko_Proud:
never cheated
ever on any games
ban was unjustified a nd they never gave a reason like everyone else had
"3rd party"
never had that
:AA_Monika_Shrug:
so anyone know if val tracker is actually fine to use
and wont cause a ban
boy
It has, is and will always be "use at ur own risk"
Words of riot support btw so don't jump me :val_HelloBro:
Nicee
I gotta check mine
Gg
We got our accounts back!

Let’s try chatting in #general so mods don’t get mad & lock this post
Oh yeah
Hell na
I feel like I remember someone saying they used a skin changer because you can’t buy vp in India is that turue
You definitely can buy vp in india
I'd say its the easiest to buy vp in india
idk i js feel like seeing that somewhere
Nah mate
India is strict asf
What is strict about it?
Parents give money but we can't use the money in gaming stuff
It's like the most strict parenting country after China
....
Should've mentioned it is hard if u r 12 years old
Nah I'm not 12
I am 16
Untill and unless u have your own job
Your parents won't let you buy skins
And the skins are like 1000rs each
Which is 11$
More like 1630
Umm yeah
Ur parents don't have to know what u spend money on smh
Nah
All u need is a upi account
In US children usually move away from parents
Or use credit cards without their parents knowing
But in India it's just not possible bro 💀
If u are doing that you are probably inviting death
india mentioned rahhhhh
And some money in it
Lol
Well i am still alive
Yk if Government finds out how toxic mumbai servers are they will ban valorant. 👺
U from India
?
Yea
There are parents who arents strict
Gives allowance
Not mine 🤡
I don't get any
What class are u in?
Then how u get
india has a lot more to look upon than games
10th
Boards chalrhe abhi
:val_KekwSob:
From discord itself mostly
Like 2-3k every month
For parents if you want to end world hunger quit gaming 🙌🏻
My parents don't need to know what i am doing on discord
Damn u lucky
It's your money
Do what ever u want
i'd assume its not luck
As I said
It is
maybe he worked for it?
Bro's atleast making some money than none
Yeah ofc
My bank acc has 5₹ rn 🤡
It takes like 2 minutes everyday lol
Ooh
Damn
Lucky ngl I have to wait till interbtship
But one needed to start it like 2 or 3 years prior
Internship*
Oh
So thats like 2 years?
Not 2
4
And hoping u qualify jee/neet

1st year college
2bd year college
Data science
Computer science
Pretty sure it is achievable by jee
Yeah jee mains
No need of advance
Where u from in india?
But u don't need to clear jee mains fir intership
Jharkhand
Ranchi
I'll move to hostel after 12th in delhi
Tho it is better to clear jee if one is willing to put in the hours
Yeah
I'll do that in maybe 3rd year
Eh
Why not after 12th
Just for some reason
I can't tell here
I don't see why u would do jee after spending 2 years in a college
Idk man let's think Abt it after 2 yrs
Hurts my brain that I have to clear jee mains
Igtg
Hm
True
You guys talking about money
