Getting Penalized For No Reason
So I’ve just recently started playing and for some reason everytime I log in I get a penalty for being “AFK” when 99% of the time I’m active in games and so far I haven’t stood still for more than a minute. Can someone explain why I keep getting afk penalties?

AFK penalties can sometimes be given incorrectly due to various factors. Common reasons include network instability, which might cause brief disconnects that get registered as AFK. Ensure your internet connection is stable and consider running a speed test to verify this. Another possibility could be software conflicts. Make sure no background applications are conflicting with VALORANT. Additionally, check if your system meets the game's performance requirements, as poor performance can sometimes falsely trigger AFK penalties.
