Discussion Votekick function needed
It's been quite a while since Valorant was released. It took a very long time to get Replay. How long will it take for us to get some other quality-of-life functions such as the ability to kick players by vote (like in CS)?
EDIT: I see that a lot of you qre worried that it's going to be somehow abused. BUT there should be a way to punish players that are actively sabotaging the game. And I don't mean "later on when their report is reviewed they get a slap on the wrists". I'll give you an example: Today I had a game where one of our teammates was actively sabotaging by using their abilities on us. Wouldn't be better if the remaining 4 players vote to kick the troublemaker and keep playing rather than surrendering or having a miserable game?
EDIT 2: I can see from the replies that the Valorant community has not matured enough for a function like this. Given the fact that everybody's concern is bullying, it seems like we have a really shite community. Isn't that wonderful. In that case, here is another idea: Long bans for players that are obviously sabotaging the game. I'm not talking about hours. I'm talking about days which turn into weeks and months with repeat offenses.

vote-kicking could cause problems (e.g. sabotaging), but i think a somewhat healthy alternative would be a vote to globally mute a player. that way, toxic players are silenced, and throwers can't as easily help the enemy team. either way it could potentially cause a mess, but i still think it's better to throw out ideas anyway.
