Follow Us
Valorant has come quite a long way since its inception. The tactical FPS from the house of Riot Games has become an intense platform, reminiscent of the glory days of Counter-Strike. The title has already earned quite a name for itself as one of the more balanced eSports titles out there, in terms of gameplay. Riot Games has been pushing the global competitive aspect of the game hard, while gently building a competitive ecosystem similar to the stature of its MMORPG title, League of Legends.
However, players experiencing connectivity issues remains to be a constant problem in the game. Being a tactical FPS title, teamwork and timing becomes very crucial to the gameplay. As a result, connectivity issues hold the team back, as it tries to pull through without a limb. But there is more to this issue than that.
The latest 2.05 update patch in Valorant ensured even stricter penalties for players who go AFK in the middle of the match. Usually, this is directed at players who abandon their teammates when facing a crushing victory or otherwise. In a nutshell, these steps mean to prevent players from intentionally sabotaging their team by leaving.
