Cheating: Use of aimbots, wallhacks, or any unauthorized software — permanent competitive ban; Match fixing: Manipulating match outcomes or betting — permanent ban; Bug exploitation: Intentional abuse of known bugs — round forfeit to match forfeit
Why people argue about this
People often assume that aimbots and wallhacks are just about cheating in general, so they don't fully grasp how severely banned these tools are in Valorant's competitive scene. The confusion arises because many overlook how devastating these cheats can be to a fair game, leading them to believe the penalties might not be as harsh as a permanent ban.
