Valorant 2.05 Patch - Penalty Increases

In previous patches of Valorant, AFK and Inappropriate behavior penalties were mentioned. With the new Valorant 2.05 patch, penalties have been increased and made more deterrent. Details are in the article.

Riot Games has officially released the 2.05 patch notes, the latest update of Valorant . Thanks to the new update, players will have unique keybinds to fly up and down in Sova's Drone and Astra's Astral Form .

Talking about adding new penalties for offenders earlier, Riot kept that promise in patch 2.05 , and in-game chat-based crimes brought progressive penalties to Valorant for players who displayed inappropriate behavior. Improvements were also made to the Competitive and AFK penalty system in patch 2.05, which included a number of bug fixes to improve the gameplay experience of the players . This means that you will now receive a small rank penalty for evading a Competitive game. If you wish, you can view the full notes of the patch below.
