After that i played 2 more games and now i'm Diamond 1.
During these 5 games i've had 4 of which were filled with toxic players whether...

After a Match, let me inspect all those who played it.
I would like to be able to inspect my and the enemy's team when the match is over or even who I have played against on deathmatch - I can see at least their current rank (not all the matches they have played and so on).

When we first make a new account, it is known that your unrated games do lead to how Valorant decides your skill level for competitive.
