Valorant hardware bans for in game harassment based on gender or sexual orientation.

The Issue

Valorant is a game for everyone. Not just men. Women endure verbal abuse while playing every single day. It is unacceptable that a community so orientated on inclusion has not found a way to fix such a substantial problem. It is even more unacceptable that Riot Games hasn't even found a way to publicly speak out about it. Warnings, temporary bans, none of it is going to change the person speaking into the mic. There is no doubt that this blatant sexism and discrimination is just as harmful, if not more so than cheating. Cheating and harassment deserve the same punishment.
