Anyone stuck in a team with one less teammate can choose to leave the game without any penalty, but only if they know how to remake in Valorant.

Playing a match with a teammate who’s AFK or disconnected isn’t a fun experience for anyone. If the team is down a player, they are forced to play each round at a number disadvantage, and everyone must try harder than usual to fill the gap left by the missing player. And with no guarantee that they’ll come back, it can lead to some frustrating round deficits which isn’t fair for anyone involved. Luckily, Riot Games has a Remake option if a player fails to load into the game early on.

This lets the remaining players vote to end the match, saving time and preventing any unwanted ranked losses.

How to remake in Valorant

If at least one player leaves the game at the start and doesn’t return before the first round ends, Valorant players can initiate the remake option with the following steps.

Use the in-game chat
Type “/remake” and press enter for the remake vote to appear on the left side of the screen
If all players selected “F5” or typed “/yes” on the in-game chat, the remake vote will pass

From there, it’s only a matter of crossing fingers and hoping everyone’s in for a remake. If just one player opts out, the game will keep rolling until the end unless someone chooses to surrender. But if the match is remade, players can act like nothing happened and hop into another game.

However, if a player goes AFK after the second round, there’s not much that can be done. Additionally, the remake option only appears once per game so, it’s definitely in everyone’s best interest to always vote yes for a remake. When the match gets terminated via the remake option, it won’t show up in the match history, nor will players receive XP for Valorant’s multiple battle passes from it. And just a heads-up, this feature doesn’t work for 5-stack parties.

Will you lose RR after remaking in Valorant?

In a competitive Valorant game, if the team votes for remaking a match, only the player who disconnected will lose RR.

Just as dodging the agent select, a player will lose a few RR points as a result of abandoning the game. This is on top of the other penalties players may face upon leaving the game, ranging from warnings, queue restriction timers, and ranked restriction timers to account suspension for repeat offenders. If it’s their first offense, they might not get hit too hard.
