So I’ve played valorant since beta. Took a couple months off, but recently came back. I absolutely love the game. However as all of you know, the community can be overly toxic.

Well, my sister has been getting more into pc gaming and I wanted to show her valorant. Free to play, and she likes tactical games. She has a pretty steady aim too, so I thought I’d show her how to play. After doing a private match where I kind of showed her the ropes, I knew having her muted in match would be best. Guys in the game can be stupid sexist.

Well having her muted in an UNRATED match didn’t matter. She was the last one alive, and got absolutely flamed by two instalock duelists who were behind me in KD as omen. They had absolutely no leg to stand on to flame someone else.

“What is this dumb c**t doing”

I told her to mute the comms. I’ll let her know what she needs to be doing, but unfortunately the damage was done. My sister isn’t overly sensitive. But she was trying to learn how everything works. And being told you’re bad, when you know you’re bad and just trying to learn, is absolutely horseshit and can immediately change your whole attitude towards learning.

She left the match. Logged out of discord, and I can only assume uninstalled the game.

Be better.
