Valorant records voice comms now?

#1

ToastByToast

Today Riot released a article talking about how they are testing a new system where they would record the in-game comms and if a report is submitted, a rioter would review them. I am kinda mixed on this decision but I wanted to hear more people's thoughts.

My first question - does that mean they could finally follow that retarded Russian law and allow voice chat for russians?

They can't communicate by voice with other countries if I'm not wrong.

Companies who provide voice comms to russians on russia territory have to store those on servers in russia for some time

Mixed on this one-I don't want a Chinese mega-conglomerate listening to my conversations but I do agree it's a great change for people who get toxicity in voice chat

Simple.. discord for conversations

in game chat for callouts/comms, riot/china doesn't get anything valuable

i'm fine with it, yesterday I had a homophobic racist in my spike rush game, yes spike rush. Idk why people are like that, but I hope it helps riot find these toxic and weird players

I question if valorant is even supposed to be a real game. At this point I'm convinced that it's just a big ploy to have a big datamining platform via shit like voice comms and moreover install a few botnets in your pc via vanguard. Would explain why they are doing such a half ass job at making the game.

literally unplayable in low-end builds even though it shouldnt be, i run AAA games and im having trouble going through a day of no stuttering in valorant (with recommended specs)

no vods (in case i think there is a cheater)

shit elo system that confuses rank with hidden elo and you get retarded matchups (ie my friend in gold who was previously silver played with a plat who was previously immortal)

run and gun cancer. If they don't fix it, in 2 years this game will be all mwzeras just running and shooting. Unpleasant to play and watch.

VERY SHIT peekers advantage. 20ms is a god when playing against 80ms. Very bad netcoding from rito.

yeah they are only invading your privacy leaving a window open to more exploitation of the agreement you've made with them leading to more unethical malpractices.

Oh damn these rioters. Already have a root kit which they can use to do all kinds of shit whenever your pc is turned on and now they will be recording voice chat. What happened to respect for privacy?

Ok, I'll ask more directly. Which is a bigger concern for privacy.
A. Rootkit software which is running all the time unless you disable it from startup which many people dont even know how to do
B. Recording voice comms in the game for which this roorkit is running

A or B?

Nope. Correct answer is A and it is already in your pc, voice comms recorded is nothing compared to vanguard

Who cares. You are already being recorded by your smartphone every minute. To be concerned about riot recording voice coms and have a root kit software in your pc from them too is just absurd. They already are able to do much more without telling you
