Valorant’s Toxicity is Increasing In Spite of Widespread Changes after Recent Controversy

Valorant is one of the most popular titles in the world right now. Its intricate maps and tactical team-based gameplay have given this game the top spot. Besides being entertaining and exciting, the game is extremely competitive and demands serious gameplay in ranked matches.

To win matches, a team needs a proper balance of agents, with different roles for each player. For example, controllers have to put smoke in the necessary spots, or sentinels have to watch the flank. But sometimes overly serious players tend to forget it’s just a game.

Nowadays, people become too emotional over a video game and vent all their frustration to their teammates. Yeah, criticizing the teammates’s decisions is okay, but doing that in a toxic and rude manner is absolutely unacceptable.

thinks as he expresses his dissatisfaction over these kinds of toxic players. There are different skill levels, and it’s absolutely normal that not all players will have superb skills. There will surely be some players who are learning the game and need some time to get the knack of it. But that doesn’t mean top fraggers have the liberty to flame them.

According to this fan, sometimes it’s not their skillset; sometimes it’s their personal lives as well, which might not be going too well. That’s why their performance is below par. These kinds of behaviors are extremely discouraging and can be a cause of severe inferiority complexes and depression, leading those players to leave the game forever.

However, the fans have advised the players not to leave the games and to continue the competition even if they are bottom-fragging. Yeah, it’s a part of the game.

streamer named Taylor Morgan got r*pe threats in-game! The streamer was openly threatened with being ********* assaulted in the voice chat when one teammate of Morgan stated, “Be honest with me, do you know what r*pe feels like?”

In reply to that, Morgan stated, “Are you saying you’re going to r*pe me?” The reply from that teammate was very disturbing, as it goes like this: “You’re going down the right path. It’s not r*pe if I like it; is it now?” The situation was so traumatizing that the streamer had to leave the match.

I have never made a more desperate plea that what I am about to say right now.

. Even after being harassed in-game, she got a penalty for leaving the match.

Is there any possibility that in the future we will receive some type of permanent ban on ALL accounts logged into HWID for this type of user?

Most of them create secondary accounts just to do this to other people, it would be cool to see ALL their accounts get banned together

Although the game’s executive producer, Anna Dolan, tweeted back the next day in response to Taylor’s scenario and promised to take strict action against that account, she was also assured of making Valorant a better place for everyone.

We, at FandomWire, strictly condemn such behaviors. What’s your take on this situation? Let us know in the comment section.
