well it was just a speculation in the end of the day, since it's the only even remotely "suspicious" activity my friend could've had on her account. She does have obs and werewolf as well tho, and judging from other people's reports they also might be "the culprit", but only riot can actually tell

oh yeah it very well might be, legally they often do things vaguely. However if it were to be an actual offence to use vpns - it definitely would've been a common knowledge by now

But even then - VPNs are too common to rule them out, and the supposed "unfair advantage" you can gain from them is on the level of modern mouse software (not counting macros). Getting perma banned for something that isn't even used to gain advantage is simply over the line, whatever way you look at it

I mean I not riot doesn't care, that's why only bots respond to you in their support for ban appeals (for other stuff their support is rather good), it's just to show some people they are not alone in this and to others that it's not just pesky cheaters trying to get unbanned when they are actually in a wrong.
I mean hopefully this gets resolved for everyone who's not actually guilty, but right now it seems like it has been going on for months and human contact is close to 0 (ban appeals get rewieved by bots, you are not allowed to post on official subreddits about it, and here people either write "yeah I also got banned for nothing" or "sounds like a ban well deserved")

The first quote is the reason we initially thought about vpn as a potantial reason, however vpns are not specifically stated as bannable (and/or abusable), and it's too popular of a service to just go "oopsie get a perma".
If using vpns are bannable, or there is a way they don't want you to use them - it absolutely should be specifically stated, since it's not a cheating software and people use it on a daily basis for various purposes, none of which have to do anything with the game
I also checked the games subreddit about it, and it was only in beta when people talked about vpns and a risk of being banned because of them, but it was only for changing regions, which is not the case on the situation we have so it wasn't helpful
(and no, in a ticked they specifically stated it was software and not boosting or account sharing, which is anyway was not the case)

SECOND false ban in the past 3 months :/
A friend of mine had 0.9kd and was doing really poorly in her last matches on plat, still got perma with HIW lol, we thought it was her connecting and disconnecting to VPN mid match whilst dead, but it seems like everyone gets a ban for their own reason

Also I can personally vouch for another person who got banned without using cheats in val, obviously some people lie about being innocent to hopefully get away with it, but the sheer amount of such "falase-ban" cases is too big to say it's just that

hvh is hacker vs hacker, there are even tournaments for such stuff in cs2, and it's done on specifically dedicated servers for that. And even if they were to cheat in other game, banning someone in Val whilst nothing was done to Val's processes is still unfair, since it doesn't violate their TOS

It seems like a common issue, there are people on twitter saying that those bans are due do some tracker apps (seems like stream-sniping ones)
