I have been playing valorant for a while now. The highest was bronze and the lowest iron.
There are so many bots in Valorant that it just is unplayable anymore. I get it if people are bad, if they feed, if they leave the game or disconnect for whatever reason.
But Riot should not allow people to use bots and afk. They should just get banned straight away. This person is a bot that just crouches and moves forward and shoots. So riot's system doesn't think that he is afk.
This means riot still thinks he is playing the game. (I have recorded a video of this in the link down below if you want to see what I mean).
Because riots system cant detect them as afk, We can't surrender and they spawn every round. We don't get extra money or ulti orb. So we are basically taken hostage. Some people just leave then. And the only other thing to do is just sit there and wait till the enemy comes and kill you over and over again.
This is a low bronze, high bronze game. I dont know if this happens in higher ranks or not. But this is unplayable.
I dont know why riot is not doing anything about this. I don't think it should be hard to identify these bots because of their behavior. They are using a macro doing the same thing over and over again. In this instance, it is crouching and shooting constantly.
This is also a name and shame. I know Riot has a report system. But it just doesn't seem to work. Just ban people straight away if they are using bots or macros.

Took me a while to realise why my lineups taking this lotus motif as reference were inaccurate.
