Riot Games has provided an update on its ongoing efforts to address voice and chat toxicity in Valorant, promising that tougher and more immediate penalties for abusers are on the way, along with its check-in moderation system. previously leaked vocal.
In a blog post last year, Riot listed areas it will focus on in Valorant to prevent unwanted player behavior, including recurring AFK infractions as well as those related to the use of toxic communications.
