You can say what you want about the game but the programing quality is abysmal. I think it's just some monkeys with typewriters that commit something if it compiles. The launcher has a shit ton of bugs. Games sometimes start sometimes they don't, sometimes they start and don't let you get in. The support is extremely difficult to get. It's always assumed that it's the players fault, never the dev. And it's been like that for a while. Even the balance team always dismisses player feedback as whining and the only choices they make are based on winrates.
The repair tool doesn't repair the game, it just creates logs. etc.etc.
It's a completely unserious and incompetent company. The only thing they do well are cinematics.

Unfair Matchmaking and Poor Support
I have played over 600 games in League of Legends, and the matchmaking system is still putting me with players who don’t know how to play, sometimes even iron-level players. It feels unfair and like my time is wasted. Reporting cheaters or toxic players doesn’t change anything, and the support only gives copy-paste answers. Riot needs to take matchmaking and player reports more seriously.

It's bizarre how they've still got a platform
I think Riot Games' incompetence and inability to actually make games should be studied. VALORANT had a great foundation and at its core it's a good game. Unfortunately their lack of care when it comes to what's actually important for a game like this alongside their under experienced developers causes it to fall short. I've really liked this game but they decided to go full out on monetization while somehow managing to make the game worse and worse with each update. If you're reading this wondering if you should quit their games - please do. It will save you a headache and them from profiting while doing the absolute bare minimum.

I am getting 1 reward capsule per stream and i start watching it early. so lots of 5 game series, comes on at 8pm i dont go to bed till 1 am watching it and i get 1 capsule for 5 hours? is that correct for the drop rates? cause if so ill send proof its only giving me one but that would suck. why even tell people to watch on ur website for rewards when im getting barely anything. says im check marked for rewards. but like i said I had 7 capsules last night and today i have 8, so i got 1 in the entire 5+ hour T1 series with MULTIPLE pauses due to peripheral issues etc etc. Not happy with getting 1 per 5 hours.

Hey there,
Thank you for writing back, this is Shadow here from player support to assist you today!
I double checked everything and would like to inform you that MSI drops happen in specific times and not all the players watching the stream at the moment would be able to get a drop, as the amount of grants are also limited.
Please keep in mind that he drops are always random and sometimes you get luckier and receive more drops and sometimes you may receive nothing.
I hope this helps you to clarify the situation, if there is anything else in your mind please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your response, though it only deepens my disappointment with your MSI reward drops. After spending over five hours on your website, receiving 0-1 drops is simply unacceptable. It feels less like a reward system and more like a poorly executed lottery.
Your explanation about the randomness of drops is inadequate. I expected better from a company that promotes player engagement. This indifference to loyal supporters is troubling and reflects a lack of commitment to your community.
Let me be clear: I am not alone in this frustration.

Not recommended. DON'T play this game.
It was a good game a long time ago. It was all about fun. But not anymore, it's all about money. For anything good, you need to pay up. I sincerely adise you all to skip this game. NOT RECOMMENDED!

The game keeps banning me
The game keeps banning me. I get a permanent suspension for a year on every account. Even though there are always lies about the reasons for the bans. I don't play competitively, I don't have chat or voice chat turned on. I just play and still get banned every time for "ALLEGEDLY INTENTIONALLY RUINNING THE GAME". I'm fed up with it. The game took money from me that I won't get back for stupid skins. But they keep banning me and robbing me in this way. VALORANT IS A SUCKING GAME.

Riot Games is a predatory company
Riot Games is a predatory company, a model of algorithmic exploitation that turns its players into puppets of a completely rigged system. Riot's games are not competitive: they are staged performances where everything, from matchmaking to player performance, is manipulated to maximize engagement and spending.
Games Under Riot’s Total Control
Riot's incompetence is a myth they maintain. Bugs, balance, matchmaking… Everything is intentionally designed to manipulate and rig the game.
Every match is calibrated by invisible scripts that adjust the difficulty in real time. Matchmaking is not there to balance skill levels but to keep players in a cycle of artificially controlled wins and losses. The illusion of progress is just a trick designed to keep players hooked and frustrated, just enough to make them break and buy overpriced skins, smurf accounts, boosts, or scripts sold by Riot themselves. Riot secretly integrates AI disguised as human players, further distorting the integrity of matches and ensuring predetermined outcomes.
Ladder and eSports: Lies and Manipulation
Competition is a farce. The ladder is not a test of skill but a rigged mechanism where Riot arbitrarily decides your win/loss ratio. The phenomenon is even worse in eSports, where matches are calibrated like a reality TV show, with favoritism and pre-established scenarios. Nothing is left to chance: everything is scripted to generate spectacle, at the expense of the game's integrity.
An Algorithmic Prison for Profit
Players are nothing more than lab rats, trapped in an environment designed to exploit their emotions and manipulate them psychologically. Every aspect of the game is optimized to stimulate frustration and desire, pushing them to buy increasingly expensive cosmetics, smurfs account, boosts and scripts that are Riot made. Riot does not sell a game—it sells an illusion, a lie orchestrated to maximize profits.
If you are looking for true competition, look elsewhere. Riot Games are nothing but algorithmic circuses, a massive scam that should be prosecuted for large-scale fraud and manipulation.
