Valorant has seen issues regarding toxicity and throwers in the Ranked mode since its launch in June 2020. Riot Games often receives several complaints regarding this matter, as almost every player has faced it at least once.

The Valorant community recently tried to get the developer's attention on griefers as it has become a significant issue. Many gamers sabotage their teammates by giving away locations and other information to opponents and deliberately performing poorly 'just to have fun'.

However, it is sometimes very frustrating for users who play the Ranked mode seriously as it degrades their gaming experience.

Players recently raised their voices and asked the publisher to look into this issue and take the necessary steps to resolve it.


Valorant community thinks gamers should be banned after multiple reports for throwing

Valorant offers multiple game modes. Competitive modes are made for users who want to climb up to a higher rank and secure a place on the leaderboard. They can queue up alone or with friends in a party (except a 4-person lobby).

While playing with random teammates, players often face unpleasant situations that damage their gaming experience. They meet griefers who deliberately play badly to lose. While it is fun for these individuals, other team members find the act quite frustrating and irritating.

Valorant gamers are using social media and Reddit to seek the attention of the developers regarding this matter. According to them, users receiving multiple reports of sabotaging should get banned permanently.

Some also think that high-ranked players do this kind of stuff more often from their alternative accounts.

The game has gained immense popularity in a short period. The attractive combination between Agent's abilities and gunplay makes this title unique. Many users have tried the title out and contributed to its success.

Riot has also put in some relentless work to make it more entertaining and user-friendly. It will be interesting to see if they take any steps to solve this issue.
