As a dedicated Valorant player, Neon has become a source of significant distress. Every encounter with a neon character leaves a negative emotional impact, making the game unenjoyable and, in fact, traumatizing. Moreover, the simplistic characteristics assigned to neon has been perceived as mindless and disruptive to the otherwise immersive ambiance of the game.

Valorant is world-renowned for its vibrant, interactive characters, intriguing storyline, and uniquely challenging gameplay. However, the incorporation of neon characters seems to have missed the mark. Many other players share this sentiment and report similar negative experiences.

Research from the International Gaming Association has shown that disturbing in-game components can have a profound influence on a player's overall experience and enjoyment of the game, often leading many to abandon the game completely (IGA, Gaming Environment Influence on Players, 2020).

We urge Riot Games, the developer of Valorant, to please take into consideration the negative impact of neon in the game's community, notably among dedicated players. We believe that the removal of this character from Valorant will enhance the overall gaming experience, retain dedicated players, and align more closely with the quality, immersion, and excitement the player community has come to expect from your creations.
