Would Riot Games adopt Hardware Bans in the future?

Not sure where to ask this question because this banning method would do a lot of work and clean up and it would save from using poor detection methods. Mostly for those repeat offenders that break the rules with either cheating, boosting, griefing, bought accounts, and toxicity (maybe?). It's easy to make entirely new account and repeat said offense it doesn't have to be a hardware ban on the first ban, but take note of the hardware to see if it happens again that could lead to hardware ban.

I do believe players should be smart and not cheat at all in any game involving multiplayer interaction. Regardless of reason they may use it does ruin the fun for others when having an advantage.

Apex Legends does this and it looks really effective to getting rid of those brand of players from ruining a game in the future unless they can keep buying new PCs until enough is enough and stop. People learn as they should.

I honestly approve of this method of banning players with close to real permanents from a game. They can't really make a new account with the same hardware being used.

I'm curious on other opinions on this method of banning players and what other people on the boards think? Not saying outright ban on your hardware after first offense, but only if it's a repeat offense.

Hardware ban? The heck? You mean IP ban?
