Seeing that "Banned by Vanguard" message hit your screen is seriously gut-wrenching. All your hard-earned rank, your loadouts, your invested hours—poof, gone in an instant. Naturally, you’re scrambling for a fix, hoping there's a way back in.

Good news? You’re not totally out of options. The bad news? Only one of these options is truly effective.

In this guide, we’re breaking down the two ways to get unbanned from Vanguard: the official Appeal Process through Riot Games, and the Guaranteed Bypass Method using a tool like Sync Spoofer. We’ll cover both paths so you can decide which suits your situation best.

Method 1: Appealing Directly to Riot Games

This should always be your first move. If your ban was a mistake or caused by unauthorized access to your account, filing an appeal is your only shot at reclaiming your original Vanguard profile.

When Does an Appeal Actually Work?

Let’s be honest, if it’s a serious offense, your chances are slim. But you might get lucky if:

  • Your account was compromised: Someone else used your account and triggered the ban.
  • False positive detection: Sometimes legitimate programs on your PC can mistakenly trigger Vanguard’s anti-cheat system (think antivirus or odd drivers).
  • Minor first-time offense: Maybe you got a warning for something like unsportsmanlike chat, which Riot can occasionally overlook on appeal.

But if your ban is tied to confirmed cheating or, worse, an HWID (Hardware) ban, the appeal pretty much hits a brick wall. Riot’s logging system is detailed, and once they flag your hardware as banned, reversing that is almost impossible.

Step-by-Step: How to Submit a Riot Appeal

If you honestly believe your ban was unfair, follow these steps carefully to maximize your chances.

  • Step 1: Gather Proof
    • Before you start typing, collect any evidence that supports your case: screenshots, video clips showing fair play, purchase receipts if it’s related to in-game items, or security alerts if you suspect someone else accessed your account.
  • Step 2: Visit Riot Games Support
    • Head to Riot’s official support website and sign in with the Vanguard account or email linked to your banned account.
  • Step 3: Locate the Ban Appeal Form
    • Look for "Submit a Ticket" or "Ban Appeal" options.
    • Use the dropdown menus selecting: PC → Vanguard → Account Issues → Ban Appeal or similar.
  • Step 4: Draft a Clear, Respectful Appeal
    • Don’t vent or get emotional—support reps read tons of appeals every day.
    • Be Honest: Explain if your account was hacked or if something else went wrong.
    • Present Facts: Clearly say what you think caused the ban and why you deserve a second chance.
    • Keep it brief and polite; they’re more likely to take you seriously.
  • Step 5: Attach Your Evidence and Submit
    • Upload all your gathered proof along with the form and hit submit. Now the waiting begins—it can take anywhere from days to weeks for a response.

If your appeal gets denied—which unfortunately happens a lot—don’t panic. There’s still another way to get back to playing.

Method 2: Bypassing Vanguard Ban with Sync Spoofer (Guaranteed Way)

Your appeal was shot down? Or you know you’re hit with an HWID ban making appeals pointless? Time to stop waiting on Riot’s decision and take matters into your own hands to get back online right now.

This approach uses Sync Spoofer to give your PC a fresh digital identity, fooling Vanguard’s anti-cheat system into thinking it’s a brand-new machine—bypassing hardware bans completely.

How to Bypass Your Vanguard Ban Step-by-Step

  • Step 1: Select Your Sync Spoofer Plan
    • Grab a Sync Spoofer license of your choice:
      • Temporary Spoofer: Popular and quick. Run this app right before playing. No Windows reinstall needed—get back in faster.
      • Permanent Spoofer: A one-time setup that permanently changes your hardware IDs. No recurring steps afterward.
  • Step 2: Join the Private Discord Server
    • After purchase, you’ll get an invite to our exclusive Discord community. Here you’ll grab your license key, download software, watch tutorials, and get round-the-clock support.
  • Step 3: Run the Cleaner then the Spoofer
    • This two-step routine is crucial. First, run the cleaner to erase all hidden traces Vanguard left on your system. Skipping this is a big no-no.
    • Then launch the spoofer to mask your hardware components with fresh IDs instantly.
  • Step 4: Create a New Riot Account
    • Remember, spoofer resets your PC’s identity, not your old Riot account. That account—and all its progress—is lost.
    • Register a completely new Riot Games account with new email and details—don’t reuse old payment info or phone numbers.
  • Step 5: Jump Back Into Vanguard!
    • Login with your new account and dive back into the action. The entire unban process can be done under 15 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Here are some common questions that come up when facing a Vanguard ban, whether it’s account-based, IP, or hardware ID-related.

Should I appeal first or just jump to using a spoofer?

If you’re 100% sure the ban was a mistake—like a hack or a false detection—starting with an appeal is smart. It’s your only legit shot at getting your original account back. But if you’re dealing with a confirmed HWID ban, save yourself the headache and go straight to spoofer mode.

What’s the difference between an account ban and an HWID ban?

Think of an account ban as losing your membership card to a club—you can’t get in with that card. An HWID ban is like the club blacklisting your face and ID, so no matter what new card you get, you’re denied entry. The spoofer gives you a completely new "face" in the system, making you effectively invisible to those bans.

Can Riot detect if I’m using Sync Spoofer?

Not a chance. While cheap or free spoofers get sniffed out fast, Sync Spoofer is premium-grade and constantly updated to stay ahead of Vanguard’s anti-cheat shifts. Staying stealthy is our specialty.

If I use a spoofer, can I get my skins and progress back?

Sorry, no. Spoofing lifts the ban on your hardware, not your account. Your previous account’s content is gone for good. Spoofing helps you start fresh, clean, and ban-free on a new account.

Is the Permanent Spoofer really permanent? What if I upgrade my PC?

Yup, it permanently rewrites the serial IDs of your current hardware components. The changes stick through Windows reinstalls and updates. But if you swap out a big part, like your motherboard, you’ll need to run the spoofer again. Otherwise, it’s truly a “set it and forget it” deal.

Your Move: Stop Waiting, Start Playing

At the end of the day, you’ve got two clear roads.

Roll the dice on a slow appeal process, hoping Riot cuts you some slack. Or take charge, bypass that ban now, and get back into Vanguard by your next coffee break.

Getting locked out totally sucks, but it doesn’t have to be your story. If you’re ready to quit waiting and start fragging again, Sync Spoofer is your most reliable, bulletproof option.
