I agree, there needs to be some sort of change with afking systems.
I'm at my witts end truthfully with the afking problem in valorant, it makes it unbarely and dishearting to play the game. Currently I'm struggling with what to do about it. For context. I was plat 3, almost diamond, in ranked. I played a game and got an afker. No big problem, it happens. However, I proceed to have 8 games after over 4 days with an afker IN A ROW. That is 9...9 games in a row. I truly, TRULY wish I was kidding. NINE games in a row with someone afking. I am now gold. I may have not preformed MVP every round, but I did good a lot of the 9 games, and I have deranked so much because of this problem. There needs to be a fix.
