Right now I don't think this is explicitly spelled out in the things that can get you banned. Personally I think the language should be super clear for everyone, and this should be a zero tolerance policy.

To be clear, I am not talking about names that are simply inappropriate because they're childish or gross or some sexual pun or whatever. Those should still be handled in the same way they are now - temporary bans + changing the name, or full bans as Riot deems appropriate.

What I'm talking about are names where someone figures out a way to get a racial slur past the system by misspelling it on purpose. Here's my proposed ban logic:

1. First time - that account is banned permanently, with a warning that the device hardware used to create the account will now receive additional scrutiny for any further created accounts.
2. If that hardware creates a second "hate speech related" name, or is reported to use hate speech in chat, or has a pattern of voice chat hate speech reports, permanent hardware ban for life.

​

I'll admit it's pretty rare to see hate speech names in Valorant, but I do see them from time to time. I'm not sure why game companies don't already have policies like this in place - these seem like the absolute worst of the community that players and Riot shouldn't give any leeway with.
