Tough game. After the match, she sent me a friend request and immediately became verbally violent and aggressive. She threatened to find me in real life and assault me (I have screenshots to provide further proof if needed).
Sad part is, I only used my mic during that match because she spoke and I got excited and I thought I could make a potential new friend! I was wrong.
She was queued with a guy on our team (a Jett player).
It’s been difficult to find other girls to connect with, and this experience was disheartening.
I apologize for sharing. Just wanted to find a safe space to vent about it. Thank you for reading. 💕
Sounds like they might be 13.
man what is wrong with some people
This is horrible. It feels so much worse when a woman does this.
OP, just came to say that you are a much better person than most for even trying to ask her if she’s ok cause call me a dick, but my sense of gender equality transfers 100% when it comes to insulting missbehaving players.
It changes shit, I know, but I don’t have the patience you do tbf. (Main reason I stopped playing live services long ago) my mid thirties fat ass did not evolve in this matter.
pick me! choose me! love me! (seriously tho what the fck is wrong with people)
This really sucks OP; I do want to say you handled it like a champ! I really think she was grasping at straws for those last two insults because realistically it’s difficult to get under someone’s skin when they’re reacting to your bs with legit empathy and concern lol
Wishing you better players!! You definitely deserve it 😭❤️
That sounds like a middle schooler to me. Not that it makes it ok, just that it’s a very immature reaction.
I mean they might not be female, you’ve got no idea. But yeah just so awful.
Was she a random who added you just to say that? My first thought, then I read the post
Same thing happened to me once but with a guy lol
It’s just a child (or child-brained adult). Don’t take it personally.
Ask sis if she got picked yet. That USUALLY shuts ’em up pretty hard. XD
Don’t accept friend requests after matches, regardless of gender. Just do not do it, this will be the outcome every time. Just don’t accept those friend requests and you will be fine.
It’s already difficult enough as a woman to play Valorant because of so many toxic and sexist men. Why do some people make it even harder for others? what is wrong with some people!?
I would block her immediately
I don’t understand why we women can’t at least be nice to each other. I hate those kinds of people.
Gross, this is such a bad look for women in gaming. I’m building a platform called Game Like Goblins / Date Like Goblins where you can find other people to meet up with in-game while voice chatting. We launched our beta this week and it’s turning out to be a really kind community so far!

Way to respond though. Seriously – good job being kind.
damn she’s UGLY ugly. sorry op, what bad luck. but i think for every bad red delicious apple, there’s a whole lot of fresh honeycrisps out here who don’t act like *this*
People are crazy. Don’t let it get to you.
I’m sorry you had to deal with this OP. I’ve had the same experience in valorant. Unfortunately not every woman you come across in game has the same sense of camaraderie. But don’t let this discourage you, there are plenty of us on there who are happy to see another girl on our team and I’ve met plenty of great friends in Val.
I also applaud you for how you handled it because lord knows my toxic side comes out quick when someone else starts it lol.
another reason I don’t play valorant 😭
That’s why you can’t assume other women will be your friend in games.
With her queuing with a guy, I assume she’s one of those women who only play with their boyfriend and are super aggressive towards other woman that he plays with. I’m sorry it happened to you but I’m very sure it has nothing to do with you. Just to do with her
Yeah that really sucks when you’re being nice to someone and they respond by being really mean. It hurts i feel your pain.
Unfortunately there are jerks in every gender. She’s a bad person, but don’t let the mass chip that’s weighing her down weight down your gaming experience too. I hope you are able to find your spontaneous gaming friend one day!
I’m sorry this happened! Please make sure to report these people to the mod team of the game. Prevent them from being able to do it to another person if possible.
I’m sorry you had to go through this! 🙁
Hopefully you won’t let this affect you. I can’t see how in any way someone sending these messages online is “doing well”. You did your best <3
wtf whenever I meet another woman I get so excited and try to be as nice as possible. That’s so messed up, she’s probably mentally ill or a very toxic child
Not an excuse for her behavior, just a possible explanation
