As an Indian player, ever since the Mumbai server was announced i was super excited to have lower ping. We used to play in the Singapore servers primarily before this. Every now and then there would be those toxic players who call you "noob", "bot", and all other cuss words.

Then came the Mumbai server. Most of the players in this server are Indians. And i have never had a single pleasant experience in the Mumbai server. EVERY SINGLE MATCH I've played has been a toxic nightmare. You get called noob for literally everything. I wouldn't mind that but... What's worse is you get cussed A LOT. You tap an opponent then he calls you shameless hacker, bsdk, madarchod, bhenchod (these are all Hindi swear words. Since most players are North Indian they communicate in hindi). I legit got threats from opponents for tapping them. And then there's these players who constantly give call outs, commands in Hindi even after i mention that i don't understand Hindi, then yell again because i didn't do what they said.

I just played a match where the opponent jett was a smurf and we got wrecked. I got yelled at by my team for "letting them die" (i just took cover because around 3 opponents were rushing blindly) . They shouted a lot of cuss words into their mics. Then there was the opponent team giving out threats to the last standing player who decided to save for "hiding like a coward" (baahar aaja bsdk, madarchod they said). It was such a horrible expirience, so toxic i couldn't think about it as a game anymore.

Basically the entire server is full of toxic, no-chill North Indians. (India is split as North india and south india. Hindi being the primary language of North.) Me and pretty much every other VALORANT player I know personally avoid the Mumbai server for these very reasons. The Mumbai server is a mess. I've met a lot of chill Indian players in the Singapore servers who are also tired of the Mumbai server.

My point being: the Mumbai server that RIOT worked so hard to put up is pretty miserable with all the toxicity. It's pretty useless.
