Riot fixes bug in VALORANT Patch 6.06 that allowed griefers to ruin your games
Muting players in a competitive online game like VALORANT isn’t enough to stop toxicity during matches. Before Patch 6.06, the game would still display pings from players you had muted, which the griefers could theoretically abuse to keep affecting your experience in a negative way.
That should no longer be a problem, as Riot Games removed the only VALORANT tool griefers got in their possession after being muted. “Fixed a bug causing ping icons to be displayed even when someone was muted,” the Patch 6.06 notes read. “Muting someone will now properly suppress ping icons.”
