Since launch, Valorant<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has enticed players all over the world to experience Riot Games\u2019 version of a character-based\u00a0tactical shooter. Riot has continually added new content to the game, and recently launched <\/span>Episode 2, Act 1 with the new Agent Yoru<\/span><\/a>. Unfortunately, it isn\u2019t always sunshine and roses for players in the game. Developers for Valorant<\/em> released more information on additional penalties it plans on applying to players with disruptive behavior in-game.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Valorant<\/em> being a team-based competitive game,\u00a0teammate\u00a0behavior majorly influences how players experience the game. <\/span>Cheating in Valorant<\/em> has long been an issue<\/span><\/a>, but player toxicity and other disruptive behavior such as AFK-ing persists. As many Valorant<\/em> players can attest, sometimes several rounds will go by before a player is kicked for being AFK. So this behavior\u00a0often has negative impacts on\u00a0gameplay and affects overall game fairness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, the\u00a0Social and Player Dynamics team for <\/span>Valorant<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>detailed some upcoming changes that\u00a0should be added in Patch 2.04\u00a0alongside improved detection of AFK behavior. The biggest change is that players discovered to be AFK will end up receiving progressively increasing penalties that range from initial warnings to XP denial and even up to a full game ban. Devs assured players that those who experience the occasional mishap, such as an internet outage, wouldn\u2019t be affected negatively.<\/span><\/p>\n

More nuance has been incorporated to chat moderation as well, and chat-based offenses will be penalized based on frequency and severity. Valorant<\/em> wants to be clear as well that \u201cthere is no room for violence, threats, or targeted harassment\u201d in the game. Certain zero-tolerance offenses like those can result in a full game ban. However, Valorant<\/em> also wants to warn players that its text evaluation systems can\u2019t tell who \u201cstarted the rage war,\u201d so the devs caution players against harassing other players back, as doing so may lead to them getting punished as well.<\/span><\/p>\n
