I just started playing Valorant in November and in the beginning there seemed to be little to no people who would bother me in game (I'm a girl btw). I also only played unrated up until recently. As time went on, I decided to start playing comp. I noticed that when I talk in voice chat I get a lot of people who purposely sabotage me and/or harass me. I feel like it's on purpose since I'm female.

The other day a Skye flashed the entire team and I said "Hey, try not to flash the entire team next time and be mindful of your flashes." The Skye then responded to me "You're literally bottom fragging. Do you have anger issues? Sounds like you're on your period." The Skye then proceeded to flash me 2 more times on purpose in game and always made negative comments on my performance (ex. "Um... was that play necessary?", "You can't even clutch the round." etc)

I love this game but it gets very hard to keep playing comp and attempting to rank up when people are mean to me like this. I have found that muting the team member helps in most cases but the frequency of how many people are harassing me has only increased with time. Now I get someone who shit talks me almost every game. Does this happen to anyone else and do you have any pointers to what I can do to improve the situation?
