I'm a new player to Valorant - I played only a few times in the closed beta, as I am a CSGO player and I felt like the game wasn't polished enough and I didn't enjoy it as none of my friends were able to get a key. Now, I feel the game is much better than it was (although ranked would be nice) and I have a lot of mates to play with.

However,

I find it extremely difficult to enjoy this game when I'm not playing in a 5 stack. If I solo queue, I'll almost always have leavers or people playing on a trackpad. Recently I lost 8 games in a row and was able to get match or team mvp in every single game...

There is no surrender option, no timeout option, no vote kick option and no bots to take over on your team if you lose a player. Considering I'm from OCE and it's hard to find people to queue with when my mates aren't online since no one has a damn mic, what should I do? I'm confused as to why they didn't address the issue in the new patch...

I'm unsure if this game has skill based matchmaking or not, but if it does it is obviously broken and needs fixing.

HeezBurger what should I do?

Well I would recommend you to stop playing the game and wait for them to implement a suitable system for the game. In fact, that's what I'm doing. I'm tired of the game and now I'm playing CS:GO.

In my opinion Riot has released the game too quickly and with important features that are missing. If they have been inspired by OW and CS:GO I don't understand why the game has not come out with a system of endorsements or trust factor, with a level system, with a console etc... it has only come with an excessively intrusive AC which is not even necessary.

But I'm trust that Riot will improve the game over time.
