Whenever I'm playing valorant, and I'm in Gold 2 after big derank after I took a break from starting around plat 2, and I just didn't see any toxicity even If I wasn't doing great. I've been on a losing streak, and have never had a teammate tilt in vc. they scoff at the idea of a surrender and its instantly voted out. Sometimes you get toxic people, but they are outnumbered ever time. Afk's just aren't a problem as they never happen. It seems on this subreddit that it is a large problem, but toxicity just rarely happens.
