Can you get banned for queueing with a cheater in Valorant?

Yes, you can get banned for queueing with a cheater in Valorant, even if it's unintentional, with Riot often issuing a 180-day (six-month) ban for "Hitchhiking" (deliberately playing with a cheater) or associating with detected cheaters, though players have reported unfair bans for accidental pairings that are sometimes overturned on appeal. Riot's system can detect if you've knowingly played with a cheater, leading to penalties like bans, though you can appeal if you genuinely had no idea, as seen in cases where players queued with strangers from LFG servers.
