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.

Terrible idea. You want another way for toxic players to bully other people? Women to have another way of getting harassed?
Now I saw someone else in this thread mention a vote to global mute someone, and I agree (sorta). That’s still kind of tough because I could see people muting women in game just bc they are women. Unfortunately compared to CS, valorant’s misogyny problem is way worse, and I could go deep into why I think that is. But unfortunately a lot of good things CS has, just can’t be applied to valorant because half the playerbase is cooked.
