How long is a Valorant penalty?
The length of a Valorant penalty really depends on what you did. If you're talking about queue dodging, it starts at 3 minutes for the first offense but can ramp up to 10 minutes or more if you keep doing it. For AFK penalties, it begins with a short time ban from matchmaking but can escalate to hours and even days if you're a repeat offender. And remember, severe offenses like cheating can get you a permanent ban!

Short answer: It ranges. Dodging a match? A few minutes. AFK a lot? Hours to days. Cheat? Say goodbye forever.
Not too long if it's just a one-off. I dodged a match once because my cat decided my keyboard was the perfect nap spot. Got hit with a 3-minute timeout. Just don't make dodging or going AFK a habit, or Riot will ground you for a lot longer!
Honestly, it's too short. People who AFK ruin the game and only get a slap on the wrist. Riot needs to up those penalties if you ask me.
