Saboteurs
Why are there so many saboteurs in competitive? It's not uncommon to see 2 players on my team who go completely against the objective, trolling even. It seems to me this is much more common in Valorant than in other games. What's the reason? Anything I can do about it?

don't make people mad
Remember
50%of the time the throwers will be in enemy team

Whats your elo
Idk it feels like they're on both teams.
That's only if you're a thrower. If not, they're more likely gonna be on the other team.
What's elo?
man
Rank
Iron 3 atm
But I only just had my 5 placement matches yesterday.
Made it to bronze last time but basically I don't even play competitive anymore bc it seems like no one.
I mean it seems like so many people don't actually play it either, they just join games and f around.
I play deathmatch and team deathmatch almost exclusively.
But I really like the main game mode, so it would be nice if there was a way to actually play it...
Deathmatch is meant as a practice mode FYI. Don't get frustrated with it.
Only gamemode you can leave and not be punished
I have 0 problems playing deathmatch that's why I mostly play deathmatch.
Oh i understand now
What if I just leave games if there are people clearly trolling on my team? What's the 'punishment'?
If it just means I won't be able to queue for a while that's fine those teammates make me not want to queue anyway...
The ban gets longer and longer, and if you do it enough you get permanently banned.
Best thing you can do is play with friends so the game isn't as frustrating
Meh honestly at this point it's kinda whatever. I don't get to play the game either way.
Low ranks as a solo player is so bad
Idk anyone irl who plays Valorant. And I'm guessing no one who cares enough to be on Discord wants to take on a noob.
There might be people in #looking-for-group , but it can be a gamble
If this game isn't fun to you, and you don't have friends who play, it's not worth learning imo.
Yeah in my experience with other games/servers often these lfg are not much better than solo q.
Even when you find someone who seems nice, they end up being freaks :(
Ive met a couple good people though
I really like the mechanics though. And I've got to the point where I can win deathmatches so obviously that's fun.
I mean if it's just throwers you're worried about, lfg will definitely help with thst problem
You'll find fun people to play with along the way.
You're probably right, now I just wish I had to willpower to put in the effort.
Anyway thanks for listening to me ranting.
Nah you're being very truthful. It's a big issue with playing this game lol
Is it also bad at higher ranks?
Not as bad, but it still happens
People are morons in competitive games lmao
Maybe it's just
People are moronsin competitive gameslmao
It comes out more in these games. People will yell at their teamates for misplaying, start running into the enemies with knife out, and still say it wasnt at all their fault when we lose the match.
I'm too lazy to read this whole chat, but anyway, you need to understand that you are at the lowest elo in the game, where there are most likely many young people or adults playing just for fun
Nobody cares about their elo in this elo, they just play for fun
They're not necessarily trolling, you're just expecting too much from people in a place where most people don't even know the basic mechanics of the game
Except that 1 friend of mine who was genuinely stuck in iron for 4 months despite trying their best to rank up
Idek how its even possible
he did his best
Last two games had two people working together to troll the team. Definitely wasn't a skill issue.
^
if you want better teammates get better
Throwing nets onto teammates and lighting fire under them using Deadlock and Phoenix.
Oh so you think the problem is that I'm unable to compensate for 2 trolls on my team and carry my team in an effective 3v5? So it's my fault? Thanks.
yes
those games are just unlucky
gg go next
I mean I played like 8 games in the last 2 days, and the last two games both had 2 teammates like this, and this is about the experience I had last season as well...
it happens more often in low ranks
for me its like 1/20
Sorry I misspoke, actually they were effectively 7v3, with teammates actively sabotaging. Which game mode is this where the goal is to win 7v3 games to rank up? I'm not actually familiar with it.
It's called the game of life, where you have to give your best over and over again to achieve your goal, and it's not by crying over 1 game that you're going to win it
gg go next
Oh cause I thought it was Valorant, an online video game that's supposed to entertain and supposed to be moderated.
brother if ur getting this mad over a video game maybe u should just quit
valorant is mostly report oriented
It's moderation is far better than most fps games
Just report and move on
If u just top frag and lose 5 rr and win and top frag +30 ur still earning rr
Or 5 stack.
Good to know. Gives me hope. Gotta go sweat ig
