Exactly 4 months ago, my Valorant account was banned indefinitely for using 3rd party software, and I also received a hardware ban for 4 months. In this video: why was I banned? I will tell you about the developments from that day to today and what will happen next. Actually, I published a video after the incident , but that video was a 2-minute announcement video. The things I will tell in this video have accumulated and therefore I will make a more detailed and long speech. Let's start with why I was banned first , if we look at the concrete data, it is tangible. We can't access any data because even though I sent tons of tickets to the Riot support team, they didn't give any explanation. My only information is the text that appeared on the screen on the day I was banned. I asked many times why I was banned through the ticket , but they only say things like, we checked the ban and couldn't find any errors, so we can't get any information from Valorant based on my own guesses. Coming to this, I see two possibilities , the most likely being a virus on my computer. As you know, when there is a virus on the computer, it usually runs in the background while the game is open. Vanguard may also detect that file and ban it instantly. Unfortunately, I was using Photoshop with crack in the past. There is a high probability that the virus came from there, because I used other pirated software. There is no application or anything , of course, after this incident, I formatted my computer and now I use the original Photoshop. Second possibility, winexp winexp is a program that allows you to add the resolution you want to your computer , that is, it is not malicious or a software that will affect the game , I bought this program both out of curiosity and as content for my channel. I used it because I wanted to record it , but there was a time lag of more than 1 month between it and the ban , so it's like this: I used the program and changed the resolution to 1080x1080. A few days later, I played it and made a video. I deleted it. A few days later, I edited the video and shared it. Also, changing the resolution does not benefit the game. For example, in CS, the characters are horizontal. Since it grows correctly, you give yourself an advantage, but in Valorant, the resolution has no effect on hitboxes or characters, that is a separate issue, of course, Vanguard cannot detect whether a software running in the background is malicious or malicious while playing the game , but I have already used the program, made a video of it and 1 month later I was banned , so I don't think this program caused me to be banned , but if you are still using it, I recommend you to delete it. After all, Vanguard's work is unpredictable, it is useful to be sure, these are my own guesses, it is not possible to know for sure whether it is true or false, but somehow I got this ban . After that day, while trying to get information from Riot support, I also continued to produce content with different games, these games are Fortnite and CS2. I shared the best moments in each video where we had a lot of laughs and fun, and I shared all the videos with pleasure, not just to keep the channel empty, but they were videos that really touched my heart. However, since the channel is a Valorant audience and Fortnite is not watched much in Turkey, it did not get the value it deserved. My videos still do not regret sharing the videos in this process. I spent 4 months like this, and even though my account was not banned, my IP ban was opened because Valorant still thinks I am cheating. Today, 4 months. When I first look at the comments of the video I shared on my channel, I see a lot of people like me who were unfairly banned, which is a sad situation. I hope Riot finds a solution. What will I do next on the AimHan channel? I have excellent video ideas for this channel , but most of them require a large audience, because I am saving these ideas for interactive content for the future , and I have started working on other content that does not require interaction . These contents are: Detailed aim development videos in Valorant, mouse with technical details and first impressions , mousepad review videos and other contents, of course the best moments videos will continue to come regularly. I plan to reduce the frequency of the best moments videos and make them better quality. I hope I can achieve this, I have learned very good techniques for image quality, I will apply them in my new videos. So, I will be here with videos that will not bore you and are enjoyable to watch. Also, I am trying to make this channel a global channel , so I will share my entertainment videos on my 2nd channel. I will write the subtitles of this video manually and translate them into 11 languages . Since I usually make videos for the pleasure of watching, without speaking, I did not want my viewers to be limited to Turkey. By the way, I played my first matches in Valorant. I played it and I really missed it. I'm not saying this to denigrate CS2, but the feeling of hitting and the pleasure it gives are completely different. I want to level up to 20 and earn Radianta. I even have a plan to broadcast during my first rank gain. If nothing goes wrong, I can broadcast for a long time after I unlock my rank . I spilled my heart out a bit in the video, it may have low views , but it was a good video for both me and my followers who watch my videos. If you want to see my next videos, you can subscribe to my channel, that's all I had to say for today, see you in the next videos.
