Staring at a “You have been banned” message in League of Legends stings. But when you find out it’s not just your account but your whole PC that’s blocked, it can feel like everything’s over. You’re here because you’ve run into an HWID (Hardware ID) ban, and you want a real solution to bypass it and get back to playing.

You’re in the right spot.

This is the only guide you’ll ever need. Forget wasting time on pointless appeals or shelling out for new PC parts. We’ll show you the exact, step-by-step process to fix your HWID ban and jump back into League of Legends fast.

This guide is all about the how, using the industry’s top trusted and undetectable tool: Sync Spoofer. We’ll break down every step, point out crucial mistakes to avoid, and share key habits to keep you unbanned long term.

Guide to Fix Your League of Legends HWID Ban

This isn’t just some quick checklist. It’s a detailed walkthrough on how to get past HWID bans in League of Legends. Follow these steps carefully — that’s the secret to a real, lasting bypass.

Step 1: Pick the Right Tool (Sync Spoofer)

The first and most important choice is picking a spoofer you can really trust. Those free or cracked spoofers floating around forums? More often than not, they’re loaded with malware or already flagged by Riot’s anti-cheat, leading to faster re-bans.

Sync Spoofer is a premium, professionally made tool. We even offer a free 1-day trial so you can test it on your system risk-free. You’ll have two main options here:

  • Temporary Spoofer (15, 30, 90 Days, or Lifetime): The Flexible Pick
    Perfect if you like to try various software, play competitively on different accounts, or want to avoid downtime or data loss from reinstalling Windows. It’s a lightweight app you run before launching League of Legends, temporarily masking your hardware IDs. Once you reboot, everything returns to normal — zero permanent changes. Learn more about temporary HWID spoofers for flexible protection.
  • Permanent Spoofer (One-Time or Lifetime): The Set & Forget Fix
    Ideal if you faced an HWID ban and want a clean, permanent fresh start. This one goes deep, permanently rewriting your hardware identifiers. It requires a one-time Windows reinstall during setup so all old traces vanish. After that, your PC permanently looks like a new device to Riot’s systems. For details on permanent options, see permanent HWID spoofers.

Step 2: Join the Community & Grab Your Files

Once your payment clears, you’ll instantly get an invite to our private Discord server via bot. This isn’t just a download link — it’s your go-to support community. Inside, you’ll find:

  • Instant Access: License keys and downloads anytime
  • Detailed Guides: Step-by-step written instructions plus videos
  • Expert Help: 24/7 support from folks who’ve helped thousands get unbanned

Step 3: The Clean & Spoof Process

This is where the magic happens, and Sync Spoofer handles the toughest parts automatically. It’s a two-step process:

  1. Deep Clean: Before spoofing, you need to erase every trace linking your PC to that ban. Think of it like wiping away fingerprints from a crime scene. Riot’s anti-cheat leaves hidden logs, registry entries, and tracking data. Our cleaner neutralizes every bit so there’s no sign of your previous ban. Check out our HWID cleaner guide for a closer look.
  2. Spoofing: After cleaning, you run the spoofer. Sync doesn’t just tweak a number here or there — it generates a new, authentic-looking digital identity for critical hardware like your motherboard, drives, MAC address, and peripherals. Your PC becomes a “ghost” Riot has never seen.

Step 4: Make a Brand New, Unlinked Account

Your hardware is now squeaky clean, but your old Riot account remains banned. Trying to use it will just throw up red flags. So you need a fresh start, a completely new identity.

Here’s how to do it right:

  • Use a brand-new email address — no recycling old ones linked to banned accounts
  • Pick a different, unrelated summoner name
  • Most importantly, never link the same payment methods (credit cards, PayPal), phone numbers, or third-party accounts (like Twitch) that were tied to your banned account. Riot’s anti-cheat cross-checks all these details. For more on ban risks and account safety, see HWID ban FAQs.

Step 5: Final Check and Launch!

Almost there. Before jumping into League, run through this quick checklist:

  • Restart your PC for a fresh start after cleaning and spoofing
  • If using the Temporary Spoofer, make sure it’s running
  • Open the Riot Client and sign into your brand-new account
  • Download and launch League of Legends

Boom! You’re back on the Rift. Your old HWID ban is behind you.

Beyond the Bypass: Staying Hidden for Good

Getting unbanned is just the start. Staying unbanned? That’s the real challenge. While Sync Spoofer hides your hardware, your behavior and digital habits are what keep you off Riot’s radar long-term. These smart practices add layers of protection, making it incredibly hard for anti-cheat to catch up.

1. Keep Profiles Totally Separate

This is rule #1. Treat your clean League identity and any testing or risky activities like they’re in completely different worlds. Riot isn’t just scanning your game; they’re connecting dots.

  • Separate absolutely everything: new email, no shared payment methods, phone numbers, or social media accounts like Twitch or Twitter between old and new accounts. Riot’s system loves to link that info.
  • Use different browsers or profiles: Maybe use Firefox just for your clean League accounts and Chrome for everything else. It helps avoid tracking through cookies or autofill data leaking links.
  • Think like a detective: If someone could connect your accounts using any info, so can Riot’s anti-cheat. Erase all trails.

2. Check Your Background Apps Before Playing

Many bans happen not because of active cheats but from programs accidentally running behind the scenes. Riot’s anti-cheat scans for suspicious processes even if they don’t directly touch League.

  • Close unnecessary apps: Before you launch Riot Client, peek at Task Manager and your system tray. Shut down anything non-essential — macro tools (AutoHotKey), cheat engines, debuggers, or shady overlays.
  • Some overlays like Discord or NVIDIA GeForce Experience are usually fine, but less-known ones can cause flags.
  • For pros, create a clean Windows startup profile that loads only essential services and drivers to avoid conflicts.

3. Understand Ban Waves Are Real

Riot often waits to ban cheat users in big “waves” instead of immediately. They silently collect data, then outlaw everyone at once.

  • Why? It slows down cheat developers because they can’t pinpoint when or how the cheat was detected.
  • What this means for you: You might cheat, play without issues for a while, then suddenly get banned in a big batch. It’s not random — it’s strategic.
  • Good news: If you use Sync Spoofer, only your spoofed identity gets flagged. Your real hardware stays safe. Just clean, re-spoof a new identity, and jump back in.

4. Only Trust Proven Sources

Scams and detected cheats flood the internet. Where you get your software matters most.

  • Avoid “free” cheats: Any YouTube “free League cheats” or sketchy sites usually mean malware or publicly known cheats that get you HWID banned fast.
  • Stick with respected communities: Private, reputable groups with a proven track record offer safer tools. They may cost, but that’s the price for avoiding detection. You can learn about the top anti-cheat software protecting these ecosystems.

5. Keep Your PC Clean and Updated

A tidy PC runs smoother and is less likely to trigger Riot’s anti-cheat.

  • Regularly clear caches and temp files using Windows Disk Cleanup. When uninstalling programs, use RevoUninstaller to wipe leftovers.
  • Always update drivers through official channels—NVIDIA and AMD’s websites.
  • Run malware scans sometimes with Windows Defender or a solid antivirus to catch any sneaky software interfering with your setup.

Pairing Sync Spoofer’s powerful hardware masking with these savvy habits builds a strong, layered shield against future HWID bans.
