In the past 3 days, I have had 6 games where I have been called racial slurs, monkey, slave etc etc repeatedly. Both by enemies via /all chat and teammates in voice chat. It is actually so demoralising to come on to valorant every day knowing i'm going to get racially abused. bearing in mind i've only played 12 games the last 3 days, so that's 1 in every 2 games.
I mute and report the guy in question, but in one game the muted player managed to convince other solo Q teammates into saying the most horrible shit over vc. I reported the next guy, then the next, then finally around 15+ rounds in the last unmuted guy starts calling me racial slurs.
At this point, what do i do? Do I go afk? Do I throw? Because that would be met with a ban when my teammates report me. Do I go into settings and disable team comms? But that would ruin competitive play. Why do I have to compromise my gaming experience and others', just to avoid racial abuse?
When I report to riot, nothing comes of it. I've seen other reddit posts of people saying riot employees even refused evidence (a clip) of racial abuse and didn't take action.
So what exactly should i do? Because I feel like im going to stop playing at this point.
I feel like playing with a 5-stack would be useful, but im not sure how to find one. I've only been able to duo/trio occasionally with nice people i've added from ranked/unrated.
