Valorant adds Muted Word functionality with patch 4.01


However, even after putting in a lot of effort initially, Valorant is still prone to these issues, and Riot Games is taking another step to remove the toxicity in the community. This is done through the new Muted Words option in-game and will allow players to blacklist words of their choosing so they are not exposed to them.

To examine how this will benefit players, this article will discuss the new setting that has been added to the game with good intentions.

Valorant has introduced a new word filter

Riot Games looked into the issue of community toxicity for Valorant and came up with the solution of adding a word filter to hide the toxicity as much as possible.

For example, female gamers generally face more toxicity in the gaming world for their minority and toxic gamers are sure to abuse it. With the new features, these players can remove the derogatory words and give them a much better experience in terms of communication.
