No one should play Valorant or any Riot game in the first place

Lots of people in the comments self-reporting their habits in games with voice chat... yikes...

Yeah, can't have people just growning thicker skins ... they should have to buy them via micro transaction!

Halo 2 never had a mute function and people survived.

That's just survivor bias. Gaming spaces are better when harassment is punished.

Do you really want the standard of life to be a halo 2 lobby? Halo 2 lobbies were full of bigotry of all types. We can and do, do better.

I've played in both valorant and csgo communities and after a year or so of valorant I came back to csgo. Maybe in some regions of the world or in lower ranks things may be worse but on csgo I felt pretty welcome everywhere. Sure we would talk shit and curse and maybe some random asshole griefer would ruin the game but I never liked valorant too much. I guess you kinda have to experience it to understand.

Edit: also, valorant is basically rootkit and I'm not running that on my computer, and couldn't if I wanted to (I use arch btw)
