It should “enforce the game’s age requirement,” according to Reddit user guest169420 on the Valorant subreddit, who suggested implementing a basic math test to do so. “I believe there should be verification before entering/starting the game,” they added.

“Asking the player a simple question like ‘what is 35?’ [because] kids may completely derail a match.” They later clarified that this was due to previous encounters with underage players, stating that they “lost a game because a child went 3-22 with another shouting and blaming teammates the entire game.”

“It’s the folks who act like children, because believe me, there are competitive children and childish grownups out there.” Meanwhile, another said: “I’ve lost games because of full-grown adults going 5-20 while being racist, sexist bigots blaming, insulting their teammates for no good reason.”
