I think Valorant should have a block/blacklist feature

We all know and love toxic teammates for when you're not having a good day shooting heads, but i just solo-queued for a replication game (what I consider to be the least competitive gamemode) for a quick game before bed.

Got into a game and picked a random agent that i dont play often, for fun. Ended up stuck in a lobby with a dude who turns out to not just be toxic but misogynistic as hell, says I'm 'probably a chick' bc I've gone 1/3/3 at round 3. Etc etc does his tragic 'get off the game' spiel yada yada, i report him ofc but in all my months of playing Val never have I once experienced someone getting a mute or ban or anything for saying shit things, only hacking.

What i don't understand is why we dont have a block or blacklist feature, bc there are so many great people to play with, but personally i keep getting stuck in lobbies where the people, quite frequently, are right off the bat racist, mysoginistic, homophobic and the lot.

I understand that this is the 'nature of fps's' and that i shud try and sit in a COD lobby, but i just don't understand why there aren't more measures to help ourselves have a better time ingame.

Also I do know the mute button exists, but i would love to not play with these people at all.

Thoughts?

Edit. Clarification, im a guy.

2nd edit. Thank yall for the awesome discussion :) didnt expect this to reach more than a couple people! Thank u for the awards as well kind strangers :D
