VALORANT is a competitive shooter game that requires teamwork and coordination. But sometimes, you may encounter a situation where one of your teammates disconnects or goes AFK, leaving you in a disadvantageous 4v5 scenario.
This can be frustrating and unfair, especially if you are playing in a ranked match. Fortunately, VALORANT has a feature that allows you to remake the match and avoid losing RR or MMR. In this article, we will explain how to remake in VALORANT, what are the conditions for remaking, and what are the consequences for the disconnected player.
What is the remake option in VALORANT?
The remake option in VALORANT is a feature that enables teams with fewer players to cancel the ongoing game before the start of the second round.
This feature was introduced to prevent lopsided matches, wasted time, and unfair Ranked Rating loss. The remake option is not the same as a forfeit option, which can be used at any point of the game but will result in a loss for the forfeiting team.
How to remake in VALORANT?
To remake in VALORANT, you need to follow these simple steps:
- Open the in-game chat by pressing Enter.
- Type the /remake command in the chat and hit Enter.
- This will initiate a remake vote among your team members.
- All available members of the team have to press F5 or select yes on their screen to complete the voting.
- A remake is only possible when all team members vote for it unanimously.
You can only initiate a remake vote in the second round of the match, during the buy phase. The vote will last for the duration of the buy phase, which is 30 seconds. If the vote is not passed or expired, the game will continue as normal.
When can you remake in VALORANT?
You can only remake in VALORANT when the following conditions are met:
- One of your teammates disconnects before the first round is over, or is detected AFK in the first round.
- You initiate the remake vote in the second round, during the buy phase.
If any of these conditions are not met, you will not be able to remake the match. For example, you cannot remake if:
- Your teammate reconnects before the first round is over, or is not detected AFK in the first round.
- The match begins with a 5v5 situation, and one of your teammates disconnects after the first round.
- You initiate the remake vote after the second round, or outside the buy phase.
What happens when you remake in VALORANT?
When you successfully remake in VALORANT, the following things will happen:
- All players will be returned to the main menu without any changes to their MMR or experience gained from the match.
- The disconnected player will receive a penalty equivalent to disconnecting from a full match.
This penalty may include a temporary ban from matchmaking, a loss of RR or MMR, and a warning message. The penalty will be more severe for repeat offenders.
Conclusion
Remaking in VALORANT is a useful feature that can save you from a frustrating and unfair match. However, you should also be aware of the conditions and consequences of remaking, and use it responsibly. Remaking is not a way to dodge a match that you don’t like, but a way to avoid a match that is impossible to win.
