How to Change Your Valorant Status to Away
Changing your status to 'Away' in Valorant isn't as straightforward as you might hope, cuz Riot hasn't added a direct button for it. But, a neat trick is to 'Alt+Tab' out of the game and stay idle. Eventually, the game will automatically set your status to 'Away' if you're not actively playing. It's a bit of a workaround but gets the job done!

Why bother changing to 'Away'? Just dive in and play, or close the game if you're busy. Valorant's all about the action!
Actually, there's no manual setting to flip your status to 'Away' in Valorant. You just gotta stop interacting with the game for a bit, and it'll switch to 'Away' on its own. So, just take a snack break and let Valorant do its thing.
Honestly, it's a missed opportunity by Riot not to include a simple 'Away' button. Every time I gotta go AFK, I either look like I'm ignoring my friends or still ready to play. A bit annoying if you ask me.
