Since its introduction in July 2020, Valorant has attracted an average of 900,000 daily active players, indicating that there is no shortage of individuals who want to join in on the tactical FPS fun. With a large number of agents to choose from and plenty of additional maps in the works, the game has the potential to appeal to a wide range of players.
However, some disgruntled fans say that's not necessarily a good thing. Community members have pointed out how underage players have hindered their Valorous games, and they think it's time to filter out the troublemakers.

Riot should remove underage players from Valorant
It should "enforce the game's age requirement," according to Reddit user guest169420 on the Valorant subreddit, who suggested implementing a basic math test to do so. “I think there should be verification before entering/starting the game,” they added.
"Asking the player a simple question like 'what is 35?' [because] kids can completely derail a game. They later clarified this was due to previous encounters with underage players, stating they 'lost a game because one kid went 3-22 with another yelling and blaming his teammates the whole game' .
Other Valorant enthusiasts, on the other hand, were skeptical that the issue was fixed. Even when young people play the game, they are not always the ones creating the real evil. "I don't think it's the kids," said a commenter on the Reddit thread.
“These are the people who act like children, because believe me, there are competitive children and childish adults. Meanwhile another said: 'I've lost games to adult adults ranging from 5 to 20 while being racist, sexist fanatics blaming, insulting their team mates for no good reason. »
Riots have suppressed toxicity in Valorant since its inception and only time will tell if they will be able to completely eliminate the biggest matchmaking issues.
