Is The Valorant Tracker Desktop App Safe To Use?
Yes, our Valorant Tracker desktop app is safe to use. We're the largest VALORANT stats provider and have over 10 million app installs!
We have a great relationship with Riot Games, they are aware of everything our app does, and they've granted us access to their stats API. They wouldn't give us access to the official stats API if they didn't approve of our app. We always make sure the app complies with Riot's rules and stay in regular contact with Riot.
Our app runs on the Overwolf platform. Overwolf also has a great relationship with Riot Games, the platform is safe to use. You can listen to Riot talk about Overwolf here.
Make sure you download the app from official sources. A safe download link can be found on our website, or the Overwolf store.
General Tips to Keep Your VALORANT Account Safe.
- Enable 2-step verification.
- Do not share your password with ANYONE.
- Do not share your password with unauthorized apps that check your daily shop.
- Make sure your password is unique and not used on any other service.
- Logout when playing in shared spaces (e.g internet cafes, LANs, etc)
- Be aware of phishing attempts.
- Be careful what files and programs you download. If you download a virus that performs the same operations as a cheat, Vanguard may ban your account.
- Do not cheat, queue with cheaters or download risky mods for other games.
If your account has already been compromised, you can open a ticket with Riot Support here.
Someone Said They Got Banned for "Third Party Apps/Software" & Blame Valorant Tracker.
Valorant Tracker would not be the cause. Some people may blame Valorant Tracker accidently, some may intentionally create that narrative, as they broke the terms of service, and don't want to admit that to their friends.
Here's some quotes from one of Riot's articles which talks about "false positive" bans. The article is available here.
Q: What about false positives?
Players claiming a "false ban" are in one of seven categories, ordered here by likelihood:
They are presenting a fictional narrative.
They tested a cheat on a smurf, poisoning their main through hardware linking (known internally as "whoopsie daisies").
They shared their account with someone who cheated, usually a paid boosting service or a relative.
They repeatedly queued with a booster that used cheats and ate a 180 day ban for their trouble.
Their account was stolen by a serial rage hacker, who used it to torture other players for exactly 6 games.
They used cheating software for another game, and Vanguard unfortunately picked it up.
They have malware installed that performs the same operations as a cheat.
In the account compromise cases, we try to place protective suspensions on the accounts, though we are not always fast enough. Sometimes the damage is too great a percentage of the account's playtime, and it becomes too difficult to identify any sort of "true" owner. With hardware-level cheating, we can't always tell which game you intended to cheat on, so it's our firm recommendation that you just not cheat on any game. For genuine false positives (usually caused by malware), we completely "revert" the rule that caused them after analysis, undoing all bans that originated from a bad asset. This does infrequently happen, but it's exceedingly rare that such suspensions last longer than a few days.
To request an audit of a suspension, please submit a ticket, and if you don't get the answer you were looking for, it indicates only that the account was ruled to be one of the first 6 cases.
