I honestly can’t believe what just happened. I was AFK for literally 5 minutes, and Valorant slapped me with a 165-hour ban. Are you serious? I’ve been a loyal player for years, supporting and playing this game since the beginning, and this is the kind of treatment I get?
Sure, I stepped away for a moment, but handing out such an extreme penalty over that is completely disproportionate and irrational. It’s not like I intentionally left the match or sabotaged the game. People face connection issues, emergencies, real-life distractions—should we all be punished this harshly for being human?
This kind of over-the-top punishment is the last straw for me. I’m done. I’m deleting the game, and I will make sure to share my experience publicly so other players can see how unfair your system is. Fix your penalty system and stop alienating the very people who keep your game alive. This isn't how you treat long-term players.
I’m a Valorant player and my in-game username is S2GAbay#9496. Today, I queued up for an unrated match on the Icebox map.

I’ve been playing Valorant regularly, but I keep receiving AFK warnings even though I haven’t been inactive. This has happened multiple times without justification, and now I’ve been hit with a 3-day ban. It’s extremely frustrating to be punished for something I didn’t do. I always play the matches ...
I play Valorant under the username Risky00031#001. Yesterday, I experienced several internet disconnections during matches, which caused me to appear AFK (away from keyboard). As a result, my account was unfairly given a 312-hour penalty. I believe this punishment is both extremely long and unjusti...
I received a 28-day ban in Valorant for allegedly going AFK—even though I never left my computer or disconnected from a match. I was actively playing the whole time, so the punishment makes absolutely no sense. I immediately submitted a support ticket to Riot Games to clarify the situation, but the ...
Dear Valorant Support Team, I am writing to report an issue I've been experiencing while playing Valorant. During my games, I frequently encounter a network error that causes me to be disconnected. Although I am able to reconnect, I am still penalized with a one-hour ban, and I lose out on XP and r...
