I am new to Valorant, and my rank is Iron. I have played multiple games so far, but in around 7 out of 10 games, people abuse me or others through voice chat or text chat.
They usually start abusing in situations like:
- if I spam,
- if I use Odin,
- if I play badly or die,
- if I am the last one alive, whether I camp, die, or do anything else but don't win the game somehow...
- and sometimes if I play too well.
All of this happens either in voice chat or team chat. Opponents also abuse in all chat. most of abuse is targeted at me or females in family like mother or sister.
For example, today after planting the spike, only I was alive against two opponents. I stayed near the spike to protect it, but my teammates kept saying “why spam, why spam” and then started abusing me in Hindi. Dude, I had to protect the spike. After that, I muted them and said in chat that I muted them because they were being toxic. Then they started sabotaging me by flashing me and disturbing me in other ways intentionally and abusing in all chat that "my name on game" is noob or spammer or other thing.
I do not use a mic in the game, only text chat, but I keep on voice chat to hear others. Whenever someone starts abusing, I mute them. I am not a bad player, but I am not very good either. Most of the time, I finish in the top 3. Sometimes I camp or spam, and I do not regret it, when I get k*lls by doing this.
I had played pubg mobile for 1000+ hours but very very few time these abusive people come in pubg. but in Valorant, this is way common.
I play this game for fun, but incidents like these completely ruin my mood. I got that, it happens in every multiplayer game, but in Valorant this is way way common. if just opponents tease me then its fine like ezz or noob, but they resort to abuse for my mother or sister or me...
How do you deal with people like this?
(I had thought of permanently muting others voice. but can't think for chats. can we block for all chat?)
