Bael These "cheaters" are much more likely smurfs. Smurfing is a hugeeee problem in this game. cheating generally isnt. to lower ELO players, something a plat+ players does could easily feel like cheating. I would also like to mention this is not an official Valorant forum, they dont have one. (I know, its insane)
Krinos Riot has an amazing, tho intrusive, anti cheat system. Thats about all the good they do beyond game mechanics however. Smurfing in iron-silver is so prevalent it makes ranking up nearly impossible unless youre smurfing yourself or somehow got put way lower than you were supposed to be. it used to not be as big of an issue because generally 1 man cant change the results of a mtch on their own. However, its become increasingly common for smurfs to que together, 3 man stacking and throwing games and ruining an entire match for 2 other people. during the day, its not an issue, but at night nearly every match has them on at least one team. For people like me, that sucks because thats the only time i can play. And they do nothing about it. I report every smurf/thrower i run into (yes, most of them i KNOW are doing it. they usually admit to it because there are no consequences) and ive only ever gotten a confirmation of a ban ONCE. Its absolutely atrocious. Theyre being extremely lazy
