VALORANT players agree: Never trust an ‘AFK’ message in chat

During a one-vs-one clutch scenario in VALORANT, you’re likely not going to be looking at the text chat window at all, unless you’re expecting callouts from your team there. But if you do see an “AFK” message from the enemy team, do the right thing and ignore it.

Most if not all the teammates you come across in competitive and unrated will support you and believe you if you doubt the legitimacy of an enemy “AFK” message, especially in a one-vs-one. Time and time again, VALORANT players have raced to spawn looking to pick off enemy players away from their keyboards, only to be suckered into a trap that costs them their rifles or gets them knifed.
