How does the Valorant AFK penalty work?
Valorant takes the AFK issue seriously! If you go AFK (away from keyboard) during a match, you'll first receive a warning. Keep it up, and you're looking at penalties like being barred from queuing for matches for a certain period, which increases with repeated offenses. It's all about keeping the game fair and fun for everyone, so stay in the game, or feel the sting of the punishment stick!

If you're thinking of stepping away for a 'quick snack' mid-game, think again. Valorant will slap you with penalties faster than you can say 'but I was hungry!' First a warning, then short matchmaking bans that get longer with each offense. Stick around, play the game, or face the wrath of the AFK penalties.
Just don't go AFK, and you won't have to worry about it. But seriously, if you do, you start with warnings and then get hit with time penalties for matchmaking. They get longer the more you do it. Play nice, or take a time-out.
