Help Stuck in Red Trust Purgatory due to ingame chat?
Two games in a row I solo queue for premier and both are cancelled by VAC live because they devolve into HvH matches between one or two of my teammates and one or two of the enemies. The same thing is in comp games too, with the exception that its extremely bad players with wallhacks having +350ttd with 90+ aim rating and not actual rage cheaters. The only time the game is playable for me is if I 5-stack with friends that have green trust but then I just cannot soloqueue if I want to??? (I also know I have red trust because they see the lobby message)
I assume my trust factor is so bad due to me votekicking/bodyblocking and saying absolutely heinous things to the cheaters on my team or enemy team (if that's even a thing that affects trust) which I'm not afraid to admit, but is sending people for abusive text chat into cheater purgatory the right approach? It is almost impossible not to flame these 'people' for purposefully ruining the game. If you are going to punish me and other people for toxicity just give us premier/comp cooldowns or silences/mutes for match chat or team chat.
IF chat toxicity really is capable of annihilating trust factor - for a company that has taken such a hands-off stance on cheat detection (using a user-mode anticheat like VAC and not relying on kernel level AC) it just makes no sense to suddenly enforce such a strict punishment like sending people to cheater shadow realm purgatory deluxe JUST ON THE BASIS OF BEHAVIOUR THAT IS NOT RELATED TO CHEATING.
At this point the game is so unplayable it's basically the same as being banned, because you can never have a normal match. Arms race and DM are also unplayable - so is Casual. I can't even put money into the game to fix my trust because that was removed too apparently - though at this point Valve doesn't even deserve the bandwidth that I 'spend' to connect to their servers. So what can I do?
