(2020) Do not tell the enemy team that you have an AFK/griefing teammate.

This thread was added on June 12, 2020, with posts from RiotArkem.

Original Post

You will be banned for 72 hours if any griefers decide to report you for revealing their location. I recently encountered a group of people who were being very toxic to me and another solo queue player. We didn't fire back with any insults or anything, but there was one round where the griefers were doing circles and shooting in the middle of the map and I told the enemy team where there were and to report them.

Jokes on me though, they've all reported me for disrupting the team and I've gotten the ban instead. Lesson learned.

E: some are under the impression that I'm saying you can get banned for saying just "afk." This may be the case, however I think saying a specific spot like "afk at B" is where the griefers will get you.

Seems like Riot is bringing League's system to this game where instead of banning the afks and trolls they ban the people that call them out.

Hijacking top post for vis:

This doesn't sound right. I don't think you can get a restriction for letting the enemy team know that there's someone afk on your team.

If you send me an impacted account name I'll look into it.

This may be unrelated, but are the recent PC freezes caused by Valorant on the team's radar? It's getting pretty repetitive.

A Vanguard update went out last night that might help but to be honest we haven't figured out what the cause is or how to reproduce it yet so we can't have high confidence that we've fixed it.

The chat restriction on that account isn't due to any one thing that was said but due to a consistent pattern of negative speech that frequently gets reported.

I don't have access to chat logs but based on the amount of reports you receive across all your games I expect that you're often doing something that the people you're playing with find unsportsmanlike.

Edit: I don't have access to chat history since I don't commonly work with chat data not because the chat data is unavailable to people who do reviews.
