The worst part is, I highly doubt my reports did anything against them and chances are not everyone on the enemy team reported them either.

Your reports do matter, and we have improved report features coming online soon:

Also there are plenty of Rioters that also forward these issues to player support, me being one of them. So even tho a Rioter doesn't say anything, you can guarentee if we see it on twitter, reddit, etc. we try to report it(If we have the time of course). This doesn't mean spam us with every issue, if we tried to be player support we just wouldn't have the time to do anything else. My first recommendation is still to report in game, and for very bad offenses open a ticket with player support.
Valorant is young, we are working on making the community better together. I can't wait until some of the things posted in the article above are fully implemented and hopefully we can reduce issues like this.
So after seeing this clip, is action going to be taken against that 4 stack?
I don't determine what is or is not punishable, I don't make the rules or enforce them. I just want to be honest because it isn't my job. There are also legalities in certain countries involving this kind of stuff. I just forward stuff like this to player support and if they've broken rules they know what punishment fits the crime and how to investigate the issue.
That being said I don't want to run into this type of behavior, also I know lots of us don't want this type of behavior in our game. This is pretty damning evidence they were being toxic, so take that however you will :)
Not all Rioters enforce, or make the rules. But collectively, as a whole, we our vocal about issues we run into. We also are aware, and vocal, about the issues the community brings up on social media and what is happening in game. My experience so far at Riot is that we are anything but quiet. We will make sure issues are heard and we don't stand for toxicity in our game. Every Rioter is empowered to make the game better and reduce toxicty, that's why we have the ability to also forward issues to player support. I've been at Riot a short while, but I've had a great experience in feeling empowered to help combat toxicity in our game.
