Please add some form of verification system. A majority players I have an issue with are players on smurfs who don't care or are even intentionally throwing. Or if possible use a similar system to the one you guys have in league that detects smurfs and places them in the same lobby.
Oh yea, smurfs :( Going to have to link up with the compet team on that one and see what kind of solution we can come up with together. Noted, though! Will look into it.
Now I am craving pizza...
Thank you /u/npcSara for pinning this reply, and thank you Riot necrotix for the response as well. I did edit the post just before you replied with a possible suggestion tying into Vanguard (Not sure how feasible that is, but brainstorming)
As far as other feedback, I think one of the biggest "solutions" that could help is to really jump on this hard. If the new team (congrats btw!) can agree on very heavy punishment it could set a good precedent going forward to show that this type of behavior is not tolerated (Not that it ever was to begin with) and that any instances of this happening will result in very strict punishment.
I definitely see where you're going with that suggestion! Honestly, tackling AFKers is at the top of the to-do list right now, so I'm hoping y'all see some meaningful change before the year ends (can't believe it's already almost 2021). Hold us accountable to it, though. This is just a start, and we'll have a lot to build upon, but the team is super excited to dive into this space and drive some positive change within the game.
Again, sorry for the negative experience in game :(

!pin Hi friend, thanks for bringing this up. We've noticed a huge uptick in this type of behavior and it's actually at the top of our list of stuff we're trying to deal with right now. We just spun up a new team (mine!) on VALORANT and one of our missions dealing with behavioral issues you just described. We are in alignment of penalizing players more harshly and are looking into ways of detecting when a player is either friendly firing, afking, not participating in combat, etc. I'm very open to any feedback, ideas, or general thoughts you may have in the space as well.
In the meantime, I'll find Riot Gyudon internally and tell them that you weren't at fault, so rest assured :)

not going to be end of 2020 anymore?
Unfortunately no :(
The Battlepass is a path of various rewards for the time you spend tapping heads and planting Spikes in VALORANT. It’s a feature all players engage with, so we (the Premium Content team) want to make sure the pass is broadly appealing. That doesn’t mean every player will love everything; however, every player should love at least something.
We draw inspiration from lots of sources—the Maps, meta gameplay memes, fun references to items from the previous Battlepass, etc.—and go into each creative brainstorm with an open mind.
Although this dev diary will focus on creative considerations behind the Battlepass, improvements for our cosmetics are always top of mind. The recent pick-any-variant change, ...

Riot Games Partners with Nerd Street Gamers and Engine Media to Broaden Competition & Offer $100K Total Prize Pool
A few weeks ago we announced the first official Riot Games-produced VALORANT tournament, First Strike. Now, here’s how we’ll go from two NA qualifiers to the top 8 teams battling for their share of the $100K prize pool, and the title as first First Strike champion.
The competition will begin on October 26 with our first open, 128-team tournament, produced by partner Nerd Street Gamers. The tournament will whittle down the pool to 16 teams, who will compete in our first qualifier. From there, the top four teams will advance straight to the main event, and the next four teams will advance into the second open tournament for another chance to fight for their spot in First Strike.
For any teams who don’t make the first cut, you’re in luck -- we...
