I recently got back playing Valorant after months of break, and I got back to Platinum. I thought my experience will only improve because players must be better than silver and gold. Their aiming ability without a doubt is better, but nothing else seems like an improvement.

Out of 12 games that I have played in platinum, only 1 game did I have people actually talking and communicating. 10 of them was with a team that uttered no words the whole time, it was okay if they didn't talk but replied in chat, or maybe listened to your calls for flash for example, but all 10 games was some of the worst valorant experience ever. 1 game I had people talking, but 2 people of that team were unbelievably toxic towards me cause I talked to them in VC. I reported them and it seems that according to the game they have been punished.

I'm not sure if this is going to change, or I just got extremely unlucky, but for the first time, I am getting ranked anxiety. Unlike games like League of Legends or Apex even - Communications is extremely important in Valorant. Did you guys have the same experience, or did I just get unlucky?
