    I’m all for banning toxic players and cheaters, but the fact that they make you install a rootkit on your system to enable this is too much.

      You have the option not to play the game though. It is not like they force anyone with a gun to install this rootkit.

        If someone doesn’t know what a rootkit is or why it’s bad, then they can’t give informed consent to it. It’s not a free choice for 90% of players.

        I didn’t downvote you, but you pretty much are repeating what OP said.

        “I won’t play this game!”

        “Well, nobody is forcing you.”

        Yep, that’s pretty much the same thing.

          It’s ok, downvote means nothing. even on Reddit.

          Sometimes people don’t understand that the fact Valorant (or other F2P) is a free game doesn’t mean they’re entitled to whine and bitch non stop.

            He was just sharing his opinion, I think he understands that Riot won’t/shouldn’t care.

              I find it to be a pretty tired talking point. Especially on this thread where it has nothing to do with technical aspects of Valorant at all, it still needs to be interjected for some reason. Anyone on this forum already knows about riot anti cheating software, it’s just beating a dead horse now.

    People are too sensitive nowadays, but some people also take things too far with their insults

      Did you even listen to what was said? Insults are one thing but alluding to rape and then saying it’s not rape if the rapist enjoys it. Is on a whole different level of depravity.

        In this video, you hear her say she’s not going to mute him for the content. She has the tools to solve the problem. But she chose not to use them.

        EDIT Also she deleted the full clip and video from her Twitch. Nothing funny going on here.

          Her saying she isn’t going to mute him doesn’t give him the go ahead to say the things he did.

          Could this be a publicity stunt? Sure. Does any of this make what he said ok? No

    “People are too sensitive today” types are deliberately missing the point. Online is pretty much the only place where you can get away with spouting slurs or psycho shit. You wouldn’t do it in public or get away with most of it in public.

    More to the point it’s just tiring having these types come into a lobby. They generally don’t (or can’t) play properly or fuck around until someone calls them out. They then start on that person or spamming the N word.

    More often than not it feels like they try to frame it as “oh ho, people can’t handle my casual use of slurs, snowflakes”. When more likely is if you’re talking and behaving like that generally it means you’re obnoxious and disruptive to the game.
