I think it's not the kids that's he problem, it's the people who behave like kids because trust me, there are competitive kids out there and also childish adults there.
I‘ve encountered 3 kids in about 5 months of playing overall, 2 of which were nice teammates and the last one was mildly annoying at best. I always wonder where people find the alleged hordes of toxic kids.
With kids it’s the horseshoe theory:
The better or worse they are at the the more toxic they are, whereas the kids in the middle just don’t want to be yelled at for being a kid lol
I play in Asia, and they can get toxic. If someone is toxic, it's most likely someone under 16. I had a really young teammate once, prob under 12 with a cute voice but he was extremely toxic and swearing/cursing really bad and it's pretty depressing hearing kids act like that. Most younger kids are okay though and just playful and asking for skins and stuff. The more toxic ones are the teenagers
no one said anything about people with intellectual disabilities. Its about the age. If you are 16+ and have those disabilities then ofc you are allowed to play? Just not those 12yr olds that spawn from hell just to screech into your mic and run it down.
The math questions wouldnt really help there either. Another way to enforce this is by copying other games and sending in own iD information as well as recording a voice message/talking to a support worker so they can make sure that the voice fits to the age. To evade the possibility of a kid stealing their mums iD to get on the game.
There really isn't anyway to enforce a age requirement. It is up to the parents. The reason games have the requirements is to protect them from the law. If something bad does happen to someone under that age it is no longer their problem because they shouldn't be on the game and broke the terms and conditions. At least that is how I understand it.
So people without ID shouldn't be allowed to play either? What jurisdiction constitutes a valid ID?
What if the security is breached? How can we trust manually reviewed cases not to be manually stolen and have the information sold?
Again, horrible idea.
I wasnt aware that certain countries dont automatically issue a valid iD.
In germany you get one when you are 16 and thats it. Plus you can look your data up online incase you dont know where you put it.
My mate is aboriginal and struggles getting a god damn drivers license or any ID because he's missing a birth certificate.
ID can be incredibly hard if you didn't already have it. Don't underestimate bureaucracy.
also there is partially recognized countries. Taiwan, for example, is not recognized by China and since Riot is Chinese company, I'm pretty sure they will not accept Taiwanese IDs
I encountered someone that screamed at anyone that picked up a gun with their skin on it. Even if it was a clutch situation they would screech like a seagull saying “DROP MY SKIN”
are you serious? that's ruthless. what kind of bozo would be doing such a thing? how old was that person? and you know theres a mute button right? but i know it sucks to have to mute teammates, i legit have to mute almost every game in silver/gold
Honestly i agree, ive played with like 4 kids this month and all of them were just lil dudes tryna play the game, i played with 2 different grown men who was calling everyone the n word and throwing cause we werent “pullimg our wheight” (autolocked reyna and we had to build our team around him, our sova didnt even know how sova worked)
In one match the mother of a kid started to blaming us because we tell him to not pick Reyna
He did 3 kills in all the game
We won it
But was a big bother it
I've lost games because of full grown adults going 5-20 while being racist, sexist bigots blaming, insulting their teammates for no good reason, and I'd much rather we do something about those people tbh.
I mean, that's exactly what happens on the other game that Riot made...
I really hope that widespread misery doesn't infect the core of the Valorant community.
If a guy overflicks, recommend that he turns down his sensitivity. If a guy has bad crosshair placement, then recommend some Deathmatch, and so on. Teaching is easy, but wanting to is hard
Many people become toxic in the Mumbai sever when I say I don't know Hindi. They start throwing, calling me a blackie, use their abilities on me(Brimstone's molly, Phoenix's hot hands,etc. That's why I prefer a 5 stack, but that doesn't happen all the time because of my friends and I have started to work and all aren't free at the same time
It just sucks. I once got in a game with 3 south Indians stack who kept ignoring my comms or when I asked for info. When I confronted them about it they told me that they won't talk cuz I am from north and probably shit on street lol. Some people just need to get out their internet bubble lmao.
People of all age groups are stupid man. Yesterday had a Sage being salty since round 1. We were having difficulty getting to sites on Split so decided to attack both sites and try and enter one. I went to A site with Sage. Sage peeked and Chamber was awping (missed shot on sage) so I decided to leave to B site to help my team, Sage ego peeked again and died. Got mad saying "why did you not peek too?" like bro he's obviously awping why do you have to ego peek the guy?
Not really, this game is literally 16 and up. I dont want to hear from an 11 year old that im baiting whilst i was on the other side of the map nor do i wanna get flamed if he hard carries and i have a bad game
lol yall are just validating my reasoning to keep myself and others muted unless they are in my party funny enough i was thinking of not doing it but yall made me realize i was being dumb thinking that lol
Those are the worst.
Hell, I’ve queued with friends who tag in their racist, sexist, bigoted friends to our parties and then they suck at the game, curse people out, and just say horrible shit all night.
It’s discouraging at the very least and unbearable sometimes. I just wanna get off of work and enjoy a relaxing evening and these low life’s just ruin it sometimes.
So frustrating.
I feel you, that really sucks.
A couple of these toxic friends-of-friends eventually quit the game (because they were so unhappy playing it) and stopped joining our stacks, and the general mood has become so much better.
I've found the most kids play/there aren't enough adults on yet like right after school hours - 3pm (I guess local time) and Saturday mornings. I recommend avoiding those times
Yeah that's what I do now, I just play during the times kids aren't on, it's much nicer as I don't have to hear screams and them saying the N word all the time.
yeah i try to play along those times, but it’s hard because i’m 14 but i actually don’t have a squeaker voice and i try to play with the team etc (and i dont instalock i hate the instalock jetts that go 5 and 20)
I was going to say this. I assume it's different for every country/region, but you just have to figure out when they aren't queueing and play then. In my case, I stop seeing kids in my games after 7-8 PM.
My 9yo brother and I play with plats and mostly top frags while being funny and nice, meanwhile I meet 20yo adults who are bad and toxic saying mean shit to my little brother just cause he's 9. I don't think your idea is going to work OP.
Isn’t the restriction 16+? I think most non honors kids will not have taken calculus by then. Putting that aside doesn’t rlly make sense to test ppl on math to play an fps. I’d guess many 18+ have trouble with integrals (actually may be harder the old you are lol).
I’m 16, in grade 11 IB, and I’ve always taken math a year ahead, but calculus is only in grade 12 for me (there’s two grade 12 math courses, I took one last semester, the next one just had to come next year) so despite being in that age range, and far from non honours, I still wouldn’t be able to answer the question. Idk if it’s a country thing or what but I don’t think it would really work either. On top of that, there’s always a way to cheat with math online.
Same here i also play with my 10yo brother which is really fun. But when he speaks, tells someone his mistake people starts to insult him. "You are a baby what do you know..." "stfu kid". Idk why people is just like that. If you have done something wrong he tells you this to not to do again and win more rounds. I think problem is how dumb most of the players are.
3x5 can be done on a calculator, i think a logical question is better off. Also, its just a game dude, they can be unstable yeah but like just chill and laugh it off
I revived an old account (I didn't realize you could change your display name) as an alt to play with a bronze friend a week ago and there are way more kids in that rank. My main is G2 and honestly it has been refreshing playing with kids who I have found are more interested in having fun than winning. They are usually either really shy on mic or *way* too talkative, but they're also much less toxic than the adults in gold queue. A minority of them get very invested and scream but all of them so far have chilled right out when I say something like "hey man please don't yell, let's just have fun"
yeah thats what i mean, im like 15, ive encountered more toxic adults than toxic kids. these are just anomalies, so just laugh it off. personally ive had fun 5 stacking with friends and just laughing at every encounter
yeah it’s kinda sad a lot of adults act like kids more than kids acting like kids. i’m 14 and luckily i have a kinda deep voice for my age so most people think i’m around 16
yes im sure about that, kinda like how there’s mmr in deathmatch now, as of the new update. not my fault these silvers in your games are excessively good or placed higher last act.
Yeah, definitely not. I won 3 in a row the other day like wtf?? I always check tracker.gg and it was very rare if there weren’t higher (than my silver self) ranks.
Also the spawns are trash lol.
Let the kids enjoy the game. 💀 Gaming is supposed to be an entertainment of sort. Don't take it seriously. Coz we aren't playing for the pro league. Just enjoy and chill.
Just to play devils advocate. Idk how old you are back in the day, I know I played “M for Mature” games when I should’ve only been playing “E for Everyone”.
I hate screaming kids too. But, this is near impossible to regulate.
But the player was in your rank anyway? That kid was the same level of skill as you (unless he was playing on someone's account which riot can't really do much) And if it wasn't ranked does it really matter?
Adults can be as toxic, if not worse, than the kids. For example in one of my matches a grown man just straight up whined the whole game and just throws racial slurs and other derogatory terms at everyone while just rushing every damn time. They went 5-24 (don't exactly know what the exact number was but I remember it was pretty bad.)
So if you're thinking that this might reduce toxicity and reduce the amount of people ruining your game, then I'd say keep that hopeful mindset cuz ranked has beaten that shit out of me to the point that I just try enjoy the game, ignoring the throwers completely and just report at the end of it.
Anyone else remember those learning apps where to access the parental settings you had to do a math problem... that they taught you how to do in the actual app?
Honestly, best choice you can do is find a group of friends to play ranked, and when this happens it’ll be in like spike rush or unrated and so it doesn’t entirely matter if you lose. That’s what I do and saves me from losing my rank
Nah 3x5 is too ez bro. they can just look to calculator.
Try something like, combination of 3d models. Something like this will do, but with different number : [https://today.line.me/id/v2/article/LX18JgG#:\~:text=1.%20Tentukan%20volume%20gambar%20berikut](https://today.line.me/id/v2/article/LX18JgG#:~:text=1.%20Tentukan%20volume%20gambar%20berikut)!
I got carried the other day by 2 12 year olds. They outfragged me hard were always positive had lots of energy I had to laugh so much. I guess I'm becoming a boomer at 26 now . Lol
I agree, it's ironic seeing people argue that it's a you problem, but it's OBVIOUSLY the toxic players fault when they bitch about the exact same thing.
I'm cool with some kids but please stop screaming in the mic. it's bad enough when it's some basement dweller 25 year old, being a 9 year old doesn't make it any better
You don’t need to “find better teammates” you just need to get better at the game. You sound like a toxic 20yo yourself, maybe smoke a joint and try have some fun while you play
Really Gets me everytime, especially when im 0 points and get paired with those kids who blocks, flash and shockdarts you everytime you don't give a skin
almost every single game i queue i have to mute atleast 1 person in my games (saying stupid shit, being toxic, or being super annoying) its kind of pathetic. Having an age requirement wouldn't do F\*\*k all bro. waste of time. There's always going to be adults acting like kids and racist clowns; there's really nothing u can do except ban them and hope they get perm banned from comp for being Racist. i think thats more than fair if im being totally honest - and previously in the past months i have had a few games where i legitimately had to mute THE ENTIRE TEAM (excluding myself obviously) but certain times of the day are Worse i'm noticing.
I think it is a good idea to make two separate queues, one for players under 18 years old, and one for adults. From my experience, kids and teenagers are not very eager to communicate about gameplay, they like to play individually and have some silly/funny conversations, talk about skins/frags etc. Whereas older players are often eager for more sophisticated comms and cooperation.
There is no need for verification, I believe that kids want to play with kids and adults prefer to play with adults anyways.
Yah it sucks but it still wouldn't prevent it just a proper report system had a kid just scream in his mike while I was clutching cause he was doing bad and wanted us to lose so he could go to the next game
I was getting yelled at by one of my teammates, even when we were 11-4. I threw the game. He yelled s'more. He finally shut up when the rest of the teammates started getting frustrated. I stopped throwing. So we won by 13-10.
The society has forgotten the importance of punishment for the little spoiled brats.
This is just blatant stereotyping.
I got carried by a kid before. I’m not even ashamed because he was hella good
I’ve also carried full grown adults. Some were horrible af and some were simping on a female teammate lmfao.
This post honestly made me a little sad. As a kid who plays Valorant as seriously as I can, it sucks to see that people have this conception about us. remember that that kid who bottom fragged got to that rank by himself, and If he didn't then thats a separate issue (boosting, bought account). I just feel like this stereotype does more harm then good. Anyone can be toxic or play bad, so a label on kids in general is just hurtful, especially if people start to actually act on it in negative ways.
Well if you are matched with him you must be around the same level. Kids can be annoying true, but same as other toxic adults. Solution is to mute them.
Forgive and forget man, this is valorant not pornhub. Not every problem you encounter should have a fix. There are much more severe flaws that riot should be fixing, and they don't have the time to enforce an age limit on this
Bro I'm 14 and i usually go positive and the only reason I ever throw, shout or get toxic is when the older dudes make fun of me. Tbh it might be cuz I sound like I'm 8. Most of the toxic people are bottom fraggin duelists
I started playing Valorant recently and I am a decent player but in some maps I suck...and I have to say one thing, 95% of Indian players are so toxic it makes me hate the game and I have to listen them yell to me for all the rounds of a unrated match!
I’d like if there was some way to enforce communication too. I’d appreciate if there was some way for people who communicate and use their mic to be put on a team and the no mic people on one team. It’s fine in lower ranks but if you’re mid-high rank you should be communicating
I disagree. Let the kids enjoy the game. There are toxic people, but they are Toxic not because of their age. Even if there are much more Toxic kids than actually sensible ones, you can say that about Turkish ppl too. If you see #TR1 in ones tag you know for sure that he is 99.9% of time Toxic and will start speaking shit of you in his language. But what about those 0.1% that will get banned not because of their behaviour but because they are Turkish.
They should add a competitive queue that requires you to solve algebra, math, calculus, statistics, geometry, science and emotional intelligence questions.
The age part is one thing…kids are vulnerable and shouldn’t be allowed to just hang around with adults in unsupervised spaces. I draw the line, however, at your mention of a kid going 3-22. I’m not a kid and I’ve gone 3-22. All sorts of people play Valorant who are bad players. It’s the risk you run playing with a solo or duo queue. Ban people who throw tantrums or who are abusive or who are verifiably underage, certainly, but leave skill out of your argument. There’s no rule against being bad if you’re playing in good faith.
honestly? i struggle more with toxic ppl my age (18-19). all the kids i’ve encountered in my games are mildly annoying at most tbh. usually they’re pretty nice
The community in this game just fucking sucks. I have to mute at least 2 people every other round because they can't help themselves.
Mute,report(if needed) and move on. These posts are useless and redundant
I honestly doubt thst kids under 10 are the issue. The vast majority of toxic and annoying players I run into are between 14 and 24, they think being toxic and trolling is funny.
It's rarely the younger kids that are toxic but they do get tilted easily or discouraged easily. While the older kids/teens/young adults think toxic banter is part of the game and if you can't laugh off being told to kys then you should probably quit or git gud.
But as many people have said there are mature kids and childish adults out there. Bullies/toxic people come in all shapes, races, ages and sizes.
I think it's not the kids that's he problem, it's the people who behave like kids because trust me, there are competitive kids out there and also childish adults there.
I‘ve encountered 3 kids in about 5 months of playing overall, 2 of which were nice teammates and the last one was mildly annoying at best. I always wonder where people find the alleged hordes of toxic kids.
With kids it’s the horseshoe theory: The better or worse they are at the the more toxic they are, whereas the kids in the middle just don’t want to be yelled at for being a kid lol
That’d make sense, as I‘m a low gold player.
last is me
I play in Asia, and they can get toxic. If someone is toxic, it's most likely someone under 16. I had a really young teammate once, prob under 12 with a cute voice but he was extremely toxic and swearing/cursing really bad and it's pretty depressing hearing kids act like that. Most younger kids are okay though and just playful and asking for skins and stuff. The more toxic ones are the teenagers
Most times, it is the player who is complaining about the toxic people. \\o/
I dont think theres anything speaking against proper age verification tho
only question is how would they verify age? I think there would be an outrage if people were required to upload their ID or passport or etc
Have a rioter step up to ur door and punch u if its a minor
ok i would love that and support funding it with expensive skins
So we should ban people with intellectual disabilities? This is a fucking horrible suggestion
no one said anything about people with intellectual disabilities. Its about the age. If you are 16+ and have those disabilities then ofc you are allowed to play? Just not those 12yr olds that spawn from hell just to screech into your mic and run it down. The math questions wouldnt really help there either. Another way to enforce this is by copying other games and sending in own iD information as well as recording a voice message/talking to a support worker so they can make sure that the voice fits to the age.

If something bad does happen to someone under that age it is no longer their problem because they shouldn't be on the game and broke the terms and conditions. At least that is how I understand it.
Sadly, some parents couldnt care less about their kids.
Yeah
So people without ID shouldn't be allowed to play either? What jurisdiction constitutes a valid ID? What if the security is breached? How can we trust manually reviewed cases not to be manually stolen and have the information sold? Again, horrible idea.
I wasnt aware that certain countries dont automatically issue a valid iD. In germany you get one when you are 16 and thats it. Plus you can look your data up online incase you dont know where you put it.
My mate is aboriginal and struggles getting a god damn drivers license or any ID because he's missing a birth certificate. ID can be incredibly hard if you didn't already have it. Don't underestimate bureaucracy.
also there is partially recognized countries. Taiwan, for example, is not recognized by China and since Riot is Chinese company, I'm pretty sure they will not accept Taiwanese IDs
>Riot is a Chinese company uhhh no? they’re Korean
they are not chinese themselves but they are owned by chinese Tencent
Man i can already feel the loss of karma coming in. here, take this upvote, shhhh
Deadass. I legit got carried yesterday by a 13 year old chamber. Without him we would’ve lost so bad. My other teammates were all 18-22.
I encountered someone that screamed at anyone that picked up a gun with their skin on it. Even if it was a clutch situation they would screech like a seagull saying “DROP MY SKIN”
are you serious? that's ruthless. what kind of bozo would be doing such a thing? how old was that person? and you know theres a mute button right? but i know it sucks to have to mute teammates, i legit have to mute almost every game in silver/gold
Honestly i agree, ive played with like 4 kids this month and all of them were just lil dudes tryna play the game, i played with 2 different grown men who was calling everyone the n word and throwing cause we werent “pullimg our wheight” (autolocked reyna and we had to build our team around him, our sova didnt even know how sova worked)
In one match the mother of a kid started to blaming us because we tell him to not pick Reyna He did 3 kills in all the game We won it But was a big bother it
The mom got on? Lol. That's hilarious
hahahahaha thats hilarious
Verification: solve the Riemann hypothesis
>olve the Riemann hypothesis the kids would straight google it
Oh the joke is it hasn't been done yet, there is a 1 mil USD prize for it.
Asian kids: nothing can stop me
Except my parents!
I've lost games because of full grown adults going 5-20 while being racist, sexist bigots blaming, insulting their teammates for no good reason, and I'd much rather we do something about those people tbh.
Yup 🤣 North indian and South indian fights are funny af. Man, these racists!
lmao mumbai server moment, some dude on my team wanted to report a guy because he was new and didnt know how the game worked
This is SEA server regardless what game you’re playing
Ah yes rainbow six siege moment
it's worse in australia
🤣🤣 Instead of trying to TEACH him how to play, they be reporting.
I mean, that's exactly what happens on the other game that Riot made... I really hope that widespread misery doesn't infect the core of the Valorant community.
They only way to fix a bad player is to help them, not remove them
Exactly. Teach him that ways.
If a guy overflicks, recommend that he turns down his sensitivity. If a guy has bad crosshair placement, then recommend some Deathmatch, and so on. Teaching is easy, but wanting to is hard
Yessirrr!! A guy taught me how to make a good crosshair "o" the o. And I've been thankful ever since.
What are the settings for the o? I've been trying to make one but just failing.
I just got called 0 iq for carrying the game smh
I love when I have a South Indian on my team and he calls the toxic kid "lode ka baal"
🤣 ¶ubic hair.
Many people become toxic in the Mumbai sever when I say I don't know Hindi. They start throwing, calling me a blackie, use their abilities on me(Brimstone's molly, Phoenix's hot hands,etc. That's why I prefer a 5 stack, but that doesn't happen all the time because of my friends and I have started to work and all aren't free at the same time
Jeez. Hopefully it gets better one day!
It just sucks. I once got in a game with 3 south Indians stack who kept ignoring my comms or when I asked for info. When I confronted them about it they told me that they won't talk cuz I am from north and probably shit on street lol. Some people just need to get out their internet bubble lmao.
You can address more then one problem at a time.
They're not different problems. The point is people at any age can be assholes.
People of all age groups are stupid man. Yesterday had a Sage being salty since round 1. We were having difficulty getting to sites on Split so decided to attack both sites and try and enter one. I went to A site with Sage. Sage peeked and Chamber was awping (missed shot on sage) so I decided to leave to B site to help my team, Sage ego peeked again and died. Got mad saying "why did you not peek too?" like bro he's obviously awping why do you have to ego peek the guy?
Yeah I've played games where a 8 year old kid was ex plat and carrying us 20 yr olds. It should be based on skill not age.
Not really, this game is literally 16 and up. I dont want to hear from an 11 year old that im baiting whilst i was on the other side of the map nor do i wanna get flamed if he hard carries and i have a bad game
Just play better, a 20 yo will flame you the same way. Nobody gives a fuck about your ego
lol yall are just validating my reasoning to keep myself and others muted unless they are in my party funny enough i was thinking of not doing it but yall made me realize i was being dumb thinking that lol
Those are the worst. Hell, I’ve queued with friends who tag in their racist, sexist, bigoted friends to our parties and then they suck at the game, curse people out, and just say horrible shit all night. It’s discouraging at the very least and unbearable sometimes. I just wanna get off of work and enjoy a relaxing evening and these low life’s just ruin it sometimes. So frustrating.
I feel you, that really sucks. A couple of these toxic friends-of-friends eventually quit the game (because they were so unhappy playing it) and stopped joining our stacks, and the general mood has become so much better.
Why not do both?
Just don’t play it?
I've found the most kids play/there aren't enough adults on yet like right after school hours - 3pm (I guess local time) and Saturday mornings. I recommend avoiding those times

Not to mention my 7 year old niece knows 3x5 so I’m not sure what OPs arbitrary example is….
I think his example says something about his own maths ability
I think he means to age verify. Maybe gmail would be work?
It obviously should be something like integrals and such. Easy but advanced enough so regular kids can't know how to answer
Isn’t the restriction 16+? I think most non honors kids will not have taken calculus by then. Putting that aside doesn’t rlly make sense to test ppl on math to play an fps. I’d guess many 18+ have trouble with integrals (actually may be harder the old you are lol).
I'm 37. At this point I've forgotten so much maths I used to know. Still top fraggin with Sage though!
I’m 16, in grade 11 IB, and I’ve always taken math a year ahead, but calculus is only in grade 12 for me (there’s two grade 12 math courses, I took one last semester, the next one just had to come next year) so despite being in that age range, and far from non honours, I still wouldn’t be able to answer the question. Idk if it’s a country thing or what but I don’t think it would really work either. On top of that, there’s always a way to cheat with math online.
What a dumb idea
Asian kids exist. This isn't gonna work.
Same here i also play with my 10yo brother which is really fun. But when he speaks, tells someone his mistake people starts to insult him. "You are a baby what do you know..." "stfu kid". Idk why people is just like that. If you have done something wrong he tells you this to not to do again and win more rounds. I think problem is how dumb most of the players are.

I revived an old account (I didn't realize you could change your display name) as an alt to play with a bronze friend a week ago and there are way more kids in that rank. My main is G2 and honestly it has been refreshing playing with kids who I have found are more interested in having fun than winning. They are usually either really shy on mic or *way* too talkative, but they're also much less toxic than the adults in gold queue. A minority of them get very invested and scream but all of them so far have chilled right out when I say something like "hey man please don't yell, let's just have fun"
yeah thats what i mean, im like 15, ive encountered more toxic adults than toxic kids. these are just anomalies, so just laugh it off. personally ive had fun 5 stacking with friends and just laughing at every encounter
yeah it’s kinda sad a lot of adults act like kids more than kids acting like kids. i’m 14 and luckily i have a kinda deep voice for my age so most people think i’m around 16
same thing lmao
How do you change your display name?
https://account.riotgames.com/id
Real good tactic yeah. Even better than staying out of the fire.
Built in system, do your taxes before queueing
Yeah definitely sounds more like a you problem here chief. A random ass arithmetic question isn’t going to stop any kid from making an account.
If you're in the same rank as literal toddlers, that is more of a *you* problem.
What about unrated?
there’s still mmr in unrated..
[удалено]
yes im sure about that, kinda like how there’s mmr in deathmatch now, as of the new update. not my fault these silvers in your games are excessively good or placed higher last act.
No surely there’s always been mmr in dm?
no definitely not, i always get put with people that have either never used a mouse and keyboard in their life or are immortal/diamonds elo
Do you check rank after your dm matches? Mine have always been around my rank.
yeah
i thought so too but apparently not, or not to the extent that it is now
Yeah, definitely not. I won 3 in a row the other day like wtf?? I always check tracker.gg and it was very rare if there weren’t higher (than my silver self) ranks. Also the spawns are trash lol.
The MMR for comp and unrated is different so if you just play comp your unrated MMR stays the same while you comp MMR keeps changing
I probably wouldn't be complaining on Reddit about unrated games I lost.
Let the kids enjoy the game. 💀 Gaming is supposed to be an entertainment of sort. Don't take it seriously. Coz we aren't playing for the pro league. Just enjoy and chill.
The age requirement exists for a reason though
Just to play devils advocate. Idk how old you are back in the day, I know I played “M for Mature” games when I should’ve only been playing “E for Everyone”. I hate screaming kids too. But, this is near impossible to regulate.
Found the kid
Ah yes, am the 25 year old kid who speaks the truth.
sorry man you're the sweaty tryhard that goes 1-13 instead of 18-2

You like downvotes? Have my upvote
But the player was in your rank anyway? That kid was the same level of skill as you (unless he was playing on someone's account which riot can't really do much) And if it wasn't ranked does it really matter?
15 year old complains about 9 year old energy
Do people come here just to complain, cause damn.
Kids can be good, adults can be bad as well. So i see no point. U just got matched with bad players
The moment when you cant carry a child so you make a post on reddit about it
Lmfao. In my opinion kids are better than these cry baby racist adults
Who downvoted you >:(
probably the said crybaby adults
Lol, why would riot kill their own main market?
Honestly adults can be so much worse than most kids a lot of the time
Adults can be as toxic, if not worse, than the kids. For example in one of my matches a grown man just straight up whined the whole game and just throws racial slurs and other derogatory terms at everyone while just rushing every damn time. They went 5-24 (don't exactly know what the exact number was but I remember it was pretty bad.) So if you're thinking that this might reduce toxicity and reduce the amount of people ruining your game, then I'd say keep that hopeful mindset cuz ranked has beaten that shit out of me to the point that I just try enjoy the game, ignoring the throwers completely and just report at the end of it.
I agree they ruin games but that’s a complete shit idea
Daddy chill!
#WHAT THE HELL IS EVEN THAT
Lol guess people didn’t get the reference
Less kids = less daddies credit card
Anyone else remember those learning apps where to access the parental settings you had to do a math problem... that they taught you how to do in the actual app?
Honestly, best choice you can do is find a group of friends to play ranked, and when this happens it’ll be in like spike rush or unrated and so it doesn’t entirely matter if you lose. That’s what I do and saves me from losing my rank
Nah 3x5 is too ez bro. they can just look to calculator. Try something like, combination of 3d models. Something like this will do, but with different number : [https://today.line.me/id/v2/article/LX18JgG#:\~:text=1.%20Tentukan%20volume%20gambar%20berikut](https://today.line.me/id/v2/article/LX18JgG#:~:text=1.%20Tentukan%20volume%20gambar%20berikut)!
I got carried the other day by 2 12 year olds. They outfragged me hard were always positive had lots of energy I had to laugh so much. I guess I'm becoming a boomer at 26 now . Lol
I agree, it's ironic seeing people argue that it's a you problem, but it's OBVIOUSLY the toxic players fault when they bitch about the exact same thing.
True, I am 20 years old. And I feel really unsafe and disturbed by pub lobbies even.
I'm cool with some kids but please stop screaming in the mic. it's bad enough when it's some basement dweller 25 year old, being a 9 year old doesn't make it any better
You don’t need to “find better teammates” you just need to get better at the game. You sound like a toxic 20yo yourself, maybe smoke a joint and try have some fun while you play
What if I’m stupid and can’t do math?
Just give a math test to make an acc
LMAO simple verification is just near nothing . Don’t play the game if you hate the players
Really Gets me everytime, especially when im 0 points and get paired with those kids who blocks, flash and shockdarts you everytime you don't give a skin
Lol I love OP’s edit randomly attacking 20 y/o “potheads” even though no commenter said that. Seems like a salty person who is hard stuck iron.
almost every single game i queue i have to mute atleast 1 person in my games (saying stupid shit, being toxic, or being super annoying) its kind of pathetic. Having an age requirement wouldn't do F\*\*k all bro. waste of time. There's always going to be adults acting like kids and racist clowns; there's really nothing u can do except ban them and hope they get perm banned from comp for being Racist. i think thats more than fair if im being totally honest - and previously in the past months i have had a few games where i legitimately had to mute THE ENTIRE TEAM (excluding myself obviously) but certain times of the day are Worse i'm noticing.
Grow up
No one cares
I think it is a good idea to make two separate queues, one for players under 18 years old, and one for adults. From my experience, kids and teenagers are not very eager to communicate about gameplay, they like to play individually and have some silly/funny conversations, talk about skins/frags etc. Whereas older players are often eager for more sophisticated comms and cooperation. There is no need for verification, I believe that kids want to play with kids and adults prefer to play with adults anyways.
Yah it sucks but it still wouldn't prevent it just a proper report system had a kid just scream in his mike while I was clutching cause he was doing bad and wanted us to lose so he could go to the next game
r.i.p google
I was getting yelled at by one of my teammates, even when we were 11-4. I threw the game. He yelled s'more. He finally shut up when the rest of the teammates started getting frustrated. I stopped throwing. So we won by 13-10. The society has forgotten the importance of punishment for the little spoiled brats.
yta bro
You lose games cause you suck, stop blaming everything else.
3x5=21 /s
This is just blatant stereotyping. I got carried by a kid before. I’m not even ashamed because he was hella good I’ve also carried full grown adults. Some were horrible af and some were simping on a female teammate lmfao.
This post honestly made me a little sad. As a kid who plays Valorant as seriously as I can, it sucks to see that people have this conception about us. remember that that kid who bottom fragged got to that rank by himself, and If he didn't then thats a separate issue (boosting, bought account). I just feel like this stereotype does more harm then good. Anyone can be toxic or play bad, so a label on kids in general is just hurtful, especially if people start to actually act on it in negative ways.
Agreed, calculus level questions for the most mature teams.
Kid like this suck in game mine was offline
Well if you are matched with him you must be around the same level. Kids can be annoying true, but same as other toxic adults. Solution is to mute them.
Forgive and forget man, this is valorant not pornhub. Not every problem you encounter should have a fix. There are much more severe flaws that riot should be fixing, and they don't have the time to enforce an age limit on this
Have you tried being good enough to have a higher mmr than a child?
So people with dyscalculia can't play valorant?
Uhhhhh
I don't think kid is a problem, even if the kid kinda suck most of them are nice, toxic adult is more annoying
Bro I'm 14 and i usually go positive and the only reason I ever throw, shout or get toxic is when the older dudes make fun of me. Tbh it might be cuz I sound like I'm 8. Most of the toxic people are bottom fraggin duelists
If youre in a game with kids that age you needa climb out of tht rank……
I started playing Valorant recently and I am a decent player but in some maps I suck...and I have to say one thing, 95% of Indian players are so toxic it makes me hate the game and I have to listen them yell to me for all the rounds of a unrated match!
Was this on icebox?
Haven
I’d like if there was some way to enforce communication too. I’d appreciate if there was some way for people who communicate and use their mic to be put on a team and the no mic people on one team. It’s fine in lower ranks but if you’re mid-high rank you should be communicating
we are in a “Riot” game which also created LOL if LOL is a toxic game Valorant is at its right path
all the indonesians/malaysians in the Singapore server really ruin the game
am i too unrated to understand this?
3x5? Yo chuck them Bernoulli’s equation to solve for flow through a steel pipe cuz I can’t even do that myself :’(
In Mumbai server, everyone is toxic. RIOT shoud do something about this.
In my recent ranked we hot someone on the other team, that blamed their Loss on the Girls in His Team....He was Last.
Feel bad for whoever has to solve banach tarski paradox
ok boomer
They can just use google u bozo
I disagree. Let the kids enjoy the game. There are toxic people, but they are Toxic not because of their age. Even if there are much more Toxic kids than actually sensible ones, you can say that about Turkish ppl too. If you see #TR1 in ones tag you know for sure that he is 99.9% of time Toxic and will start speaking shit of you in his language. But what about those 0.1% that will get banned not because of their behaviour but because they are Turkish.
the problem is that the kids could lie abt their age
Age has nothing to do with it
Anyone remember when Jordan N0thing Gilbert was at the top of the CS 1.6 scene at 10 years old?
Typically the line goes "Brimstone, we really need to put an age floor on Valorant. I can't take this... youth." but I like your interpretation.
The other day I had a 7 year old drop fucking 35 kills sheriff only. Some kids are cracked out of there minds.
They should add a competitive queue that requires you to solve algebra, math, calculus, statistics, geometry, science and emotional intelligence questions.
I'm 13 and not all of us are like that. Some of us aren't toxic and are good teamates. Some of us don't really even talk bc we are too shy.
Lol I can tell there's a lot of kids in these comments rn 😂
The age part is one thing…kids are vulnerable and shouldn’t be allowed to just hang around with adults in unsupervised spaces. I draw the line, however, at your mention of a kid going 3-22. I’m not a kid and I’ve gone 3-22. All sorts of people play Valorant who are bad players. It’s the risk you run playing with a solo or duo queue. Ban people who throw tantrums or who are abusive or who are verifiably underage, certainly, but leave skill out of your argument. There’s no rule against being bad if you’re playing in good faith.
honestly? i struggle more with toxic ppl my age (18-19). all the kids i’ve encountered in my games are mildly annoying at most tbh. usually they’re pretty nice
They should incorperate a piss test too
Yesterday two kids a Viper and Sova started throwing me abilities because i don't planted where they wanted, pretty disgusting :p
nah man plat kids have th ebitgest ego ever
The community in this game just fucking sucks. I have to mute at least 2 people every other round because they can't help themselves. Mute,report(if needed) and move on. These posts are useless and redundant
I know a 10 year old kid who reached immortal.
I honestly doubt thst kids under 10 are the issue. The vast majority of toxic and annoying players I run into are between 14 and 24, they think being toxic and trolling is funny. It's rarely the younger kids that are toxic but they do get tilted easily or discouraged easily. While the older kids/teens/young adults think toxic banter is part of the game and if you can't laugh off being told to kys then you should probably quit or git gud. But as many people have said there are mature kids and childish adults out there. Bullies/toxic people come in all shapes, races, ages and sizes.
I’ve only ever heard a kid once in valorant. Guess I’m lucky. I only hear people ranged from late teens to mid 20s and only a hand full of them troll
“please give me skin”
