Valorant bans and consequences have been clearly stated by Riot Games in its Community Code. The page is filled with values and guidelines for potential players and how to conduct themselves while they play. As with most games, toxic, sexist and racist behavior is prohibited.

And if you scroll to the bottom of the post, you'll find out what happens when you break these guidelines.

Valorant Bans: What Punishments Are There?

For breaking any of the guidelines, players can be subject to - but not limited to - the below mentioned punishments.

  • Loss of the ability to use in-game communication systems.
  • Restrictions or additional requirements to access experiences such as Ranked queues.
  • Restricted access to social systems and features in any of Riot’s games.
  • Removal of content found to be obtained inappropriately.
  • Temporary or indefinite suspension from VALORANT, or all of Riot’s games

Some of them can feel vague, as a temporary or indefinite suspension doesn't specify a time frame. Riot Games also doesn't explain which offenses could lead to which punishment. As long as you follow the rules, you should never have to worry about this.
