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.
