Someone buys a used Ryzen 7 5800X3D. “Valorant” and other Riot games won’t start with it because the previous owner was a cheater.

      If they are banning on a single piece of hardware such as a single CPU, then they are morons.

      not op but surely Riot isn’t only looking at CPUs for hardware bans? That leads to all kinda of funky stuff like… well, this. Usually fingerprinting via hardware is a more complete package no?
