My valorant user makes it kind of obvious that I am a girl let’s put it at that. It’s not my intention for anyone to know that I am one, as I make all my game users similar. I went into this game without knowing how toxic players can be.

I’ve played mostly unrated and death match (I know it’s lame) so it was all fine until I started playing swift play and comp.

I’m not trying to shame anyone 😭 please don’t get me wrong but I’ve noticed that mostly females have been picking on me for no reason (especially when I’m top fragging for some reason) which makes me think it’s ridiculous 😭 I’m kind of soft hearted so it does affect me. The guys do like pick on me too sometimes but when we are comparing, the ratio for girls go way higher. I hate that most of the time especially when I’m deliberately more nicer to them bc I think girls should support girls, 😭 they just be mean for no reason. And as a girl, it lowkey hurts more comming from another girl cuz I’d care way less if a guy started insulting me for no reason

And for context it’s the girls that are in same team, not enemy team.

I’ve been told to get off rank and that I play bad in swift play (which I use to warm up) and told that I don’t have a job when I said “oh that’s super cool :0” when one of them said they are going into biochem I think in uni (I do have a job btw 😭😭😭🙏) and I’ve been told that I’m probably really fat cuz I don’t use my mic or that I’m hogging all the kills cuz I don’t give coms (I do but it’s not always 100% right, and I get it’s on me if I ping the wrong spots) I’ve also been told that I shouldn’t have skins and don’t deserve them 😭😭😭 or that I stole their kills when I’ve done like 64/146 damage on someone and then makes a big deal out of it 😭😭😭 so like I’m so confused

And when I’m being picked on it lasts the whole match usually which makes it rlly annoying for me, or they usually do it with a group of girls or with a duo

Since I don’t inherently play that bad im starting to think it’d my user? For your knowlege, ive had super bad days but in this discussion im not accounting for the days I’ve played really bad in comp because i get when someone needs to rank up and takes it competitively. I usually play support only (sage, smokes or tejo) and play more for the team. Ive played this game for two years so i think i know how to be more thoughtful when playing so i dont think its that in most cases.

I’m just sulking a little bc it’s been getting more consistent and I wanna discuss this with someone 😭 sadly I love the game a lot and cannot quit.

Also im not trying to be a pick me but if this is giving just tell me I’ll delete or change up my words 🙏 honesty is welcomed

EDIT: Okay I feel like this post is slightly comming off as some type of gender discrimination. Please feel free to voice this opinion if so! However im just pointing out an observation I have personally experienced and posted it to see if I’m not the only one or I might think I’m crazy!! I’m in denial it’s true! However it’s def not most females and ofc there’s more positive than toxic ones out here! I’ve just been too unlucky

Someone please tell me it’s not just me, and should I change my user?

If I do please let me know which one u like😂
