true, but I've noticed that it's not necessarily age but maturity, I've had a couple of people over the age of 20 in my games who still act like they are 12

every toxic player I've played with was voice chat banned, so they could only curse us by typing in chat xd
most people are super wholesome tho from my experience (if baiting doesn't count has toxic behavior)

This true and false,
True because we aren't toxic, other region said toxic means it is friendly in SEA
False because language barrier isn't a thing in SEA. bobo tang ina mo.

You guys haven't played online games a decade ago. Back then homophobic, racist and sexist slurs were much more common because there was no enforcement whatsoever from game developers. I remember being 11 years old and unironically using the n-word like there was no tomorrow. Legit if somebody dug up my gaming past, I could easily be cancelled today.

Essentially, the toxicity in online video games that exists today has got nothing on the toxicity that existed 10 years ago.

I agree, but you also can't expect the toxicity to be gone overnight. Humans are fundamentally shit, it's already amazing that majority of 12 year olds today find the usage of slurs cringe. This sort of societal change takes generations to take hold of in my opinion

yea you're right but the more we talk against these things the less it will happen, and saying it will always happen regardless is just annoying to hear every time someone tries talking about toxicity in gaming

eh, i personally enjoy when others are toxic to me, makes it more fun because they are braindead and malding lol. however, i am never toxic to others and i can understand how racism sexist and any hate can affect a person negatively. although toxicity is still bad, people are talking about it more which makes it seem like its worse now, when in the past more bad terms were used, except we were used to it

Well, I have my fair share of respect for every single teammate and opponent. Even if I get mad at a player for playing a certain way I would never address my "toxic" thought in the in-game mic cuz it's just rude, so most of the time I'll brush it off. But if someone is just bad (which is fine) but doesn't wanna help the team at all and just wanna be toxic for no reason, its best to report and mute them. I don't understand the point of being overly toxic on online games, most of the normal people don't. I just hope people try to be more open about being nice to your underperforming teammates.

I've been in very homophobic and sexist lobbies... a kid had a homophobic name... the least riot could do is have a filter for that shit anyways reported him hopefully gets a warning or something

cringe mfs; expected more from riot. I want valorant to be a game for everyone and I don't want it to turn into a toxic cesspool like so many others
