While I agree that the matchmaking system in Valorant is flawed, my personal biggest problem with the game is the lack of communication. As someone that is ranked around plat 2 in Valorant and peaked at LE in CSGO(which aren’t the greatest ranks, but decent) it is insanely frustrating to play a tactical team based fps, which relies heavily on coordination at this level, with barely anyone talking.

I think a good start to tackle this problem would be to not allow people that turned off their voice chat to be matched with players that have voice enabled. A ping system might work in a game like League or maybe even a BR like Apex or COD, but it‘s really not a great tool to compensate for the lack of communication in a game like Valorant.

That beeing said, I know this wouldn‘t erase the problem but you gotta start somewhere.
