Riot permanently banned my LoL and VALORANT accounts for cheating, but I never used cheats. What should I do?
Hey everyone,
A few days ago, Riot permanently banned both my League of Legends and VALORANT accounts for alleged cheating. The problem is: I never intentionally used any cheats, hacks, scripts, or third-party software.
I honestly don’t know what happened. My only theories are:
My account may have been compromised/hacked
My PC may have been infected or remotely accessed without me realizing it
Some software may have triggered Vanguard falsely
I already sent a support ticket to Riot and asked them to review:
Login/IP history
Device access history
The source of the detected cheating activity
I also told them I’m willing to cooperate completely and provide files/logs if needed because I genuinely did not knowingly cheat.
Has anyone experienced something similar before?
Is there anything else I should do while waiting for Riot Support?
I’ve spent years on these accounts, so this situation is honestly devastating.
Any advice would be appreciated.
