I've started valorant recently. Came from CS. Bronze 3 right now.

One thing that struck me odd was how everyone is spamming about who at whichever point is the bottom frag. If someone is bottom frag, nobody seems to take them seriously.

I have rarely been bottom frag, but when a teammate plays a support like sage and sova or flankers like yoru and get few kills the toxicity is high. Were they bad? Certainly not. But support like Sage gets more healing out by surviving. While Reyna can only use her abilities after getting a kill. Guess which agent has more kills after game is over?

What I am trying to say here is that the community and especially the game UI is too much interested in flashy headshots over occupying space, taking trades and other simple bread and butter concepts.

I see "match mvp" at the end of each game, ranked by kills. Guess how many times I got Sage there compared with Yoru?

Why is k/d such a big deal in valorant's eyes? I've met so many bronze players playing hilariously selfish game, refusing to heal, flash or ult if it doesn't give themselves the instant benefit of ranking up the battlepass that it's obvious the game is giving an incorrect picture of how to rank player impact.
