Valorant’s an extremely enjoyable FPS recreation that mixes technique, exact aiming, and teamwork. Nonetheless, there’s one large downside: AFK gamers. Whether or not it’s resulting from toxicity or somebody attempting to drop ELO, gamers will go AFK for a wide range of causes and trigger their crew to battle.
Whereas this may be annoying in sure recreation modes, it wreaks havoc on the aggressive scene. To work with this downside, Riot has applied a remaking system. Nonetheless, the system itself has a number of issues from being almost inconceivable to see to having ridiculous necessities.
Riot’s tried to assist remedy the issue, nevertheless it’s simply not working. The system wants a whole overhaul.
Valorant’s Remake Vote Doesn’t Make Sense
To remake a match in Valorant, gamers should enter “/remake” into the chat throughout the second spherical. And, if the AFK participant occurred to spawn in after which AFK, it doesn’t even work. It additionally doesn’t queue a remake vote prefer it does a give up vote – in case you don’t enter the code in some unspecified time in the future in the course of the second spherical, then it doesn’t work.
Gamers have taken to Reddit upset in regards to the system. It’s not clear the way it works in any respect, and the necessities for even attending to the vote possibility don’t make sense.
Riot’s different multiplayer recreation, League of Legends, additionally has a remaking system. Nonetheless, it robotically prompts for gamers when a teammate hasn’t proven any exercise. This does make a bit extra sense for the MOBA recreation because it’s very simple to spend the primary 10 to fifteen minutes not even noticing teammates in different lanes. The sport really had the identical remaking system as Valorant earlier than updates, which begs the query of why it’s nonetheless in Valorant.
Whereas it is sensible for League of Legends to pop up and not using a immediate, it ought to do the identical in Valorant. There’s no justifiable motive that it shouldn’t, and it doesn’t hurt something by current.
Riot’s Previous Solutions
The remaking system in Valorant could also be problematic, however the actual concern lies with the excessive variety of AFK gamers.
To dissuade folks from AFKing or disconnecting earlier than a match, Riot has continuously modified penalties for doing so in patches through the years. Nonetheless, persons are nonetheless going to AFK – that’s simply how on-line video games work.
It’s a balancing act between determining who’s AFKing to drop ELO or troll and who’s really disconnecting resulting from connectivity or server points. Due to this, some patches appear to do extra hurt than good.
What a Higher System May Look Like
Whereas there’s by no means going to be an ideal system, there’s no motive for a remake vote to not robotically go off. If a participant didn’t transfer the whole thing of Spherical One, or in the event that they’re not even related, then the remake vote ought to robotically seem.
Past that, one thing must be accomplished in regards to the timing of remakes. That is one other difficult factor to steadiness as a result of gamers will tilt and give up if it means probably maintaining their rank the identical. Maybe making it in order that the offending participant loses RR even within the case of a remake would make sense – it could be a bit harsh, however what’s harsher is making it so that every one 4 teammates lose RR after inevitably lacking the remake possibility.
What do you suppose? May Riot do a greater job serving nearly all of a crew as an alternative of overly worrying about punishing one AFKing participant?
