It's so frustrating to play ranked right now. The number of people playing on their alt accounts and the percentage of alt account players that you queued into is crazy.
I've played 3 games tonight, and ironically... (p2 elo)
Game 1: no one's communicating at all. I was the only guy giving callouts on footsteps and locations once a while. We lost quite hard, 0-5 in the first 5 rounds the enemy team's got 4 <lvl 30 accounts (might be smurfs), and explicitly typed in ALL chat, I am smurfing, don't try to fight me lol. Since no one seemed to be talking, I stopped talking as well. I got 0/5 in the first 5 rounds while my team got like 3 3 2 1 kills. The next round last 2v3, I was watching B on haven and the other guy was watching c long. Got killed by the garage guy and exploded. Starting trash talking the whole game on me, even though at the end I ended up with the same kills as he did. And the guy who he queued with started flaming me as well. Fine.
Game 2: Queued into a "toxic" trio, who kept spamming songs and running towards the enemies non-stop on their alt accounts. When they got kills, nice, when they got killed, and it was down to us 2v4, whenever we whiff, they would type "?" or laugh in chat. OK.
Game 3: No one's talking again. The whole game, there were only 2 ppl with account lvl > 100. And the enemy team account levels were: hidden, 8, 21 and 19. But looks like they were not "immortal" smurfs, might just be alts. However, our team's instalocking duelists (phx, reyna and jett) were all playing on alts. I asked them, and they admitted to be playing on alt accounts. That's literally almost 9/10 alts in a game. Our pheonix even admitted that he was now enjoying spotify while playing, just chilling (while getting killed every single round..). And the other people just didn't care.
I really tried to calm myself down and reset after defeats like this, but this is so frustrating... Literally alt accounts are all over the place, and people are not responsible at all when queuing in comp on their alts. This is so sad. I've been playing since beta, and I think right now this problem has become the worst so far.

[HELP] I can't run Valorant because apparently the side by side config is incorrect?
