Valorant requires the implementation of a blacklist system, as the significant number of toxic players hinders other participants from fully enjoying their favorite game.
A user under the pseudonym Aki on Reddit shared a story: they encountered the same disrespectful and consistently toxic player on different days. Although not everyone has a similar experience, many Valorant players encounter toxicity.
Valorant has been labeled the most toxic game twice, according to the Anti-Defamation League in 2020 and 2021, even surpassing DOTA 2. To help players avoid unpleasant personalities who ruin the game and display toxicity, introducing a blacklist system would be beneficial. With this system, users could add unfriendly gamers to a blacklist, avoiding them in future matches.
While implementing a blacklist system seems appropriate for the game, the likelihood of its introduction in the near future is generally low. At higher ranks, this system could be abused for rating manipulation due to the limited number of players.
