online harassment in gaming
Harassment and abuse in games is something that gaming developers have tried to eliminate using a number of methods. Temporary bans can be imposed and accounts can be shut down, but audio harassment is becoming increasingly difficult to detect and identify a particular account.

It remains to be seen whether Valorant will implement a similar way of detecting and responding to threatening or abusive behavior, but we look forward to further action from Donlon and Riots on this topic, which they have publicly stated. Have said that they are serious.
