Being an online multiplayer game, you will often come across several players who will be arrogant, abusive, or not legitimate. To complain against such players, Riot Games have implemented a separate report system. There are two ways to report in Valorant. You can either use the report players option under the match tab during a game or from the match summary option after a match.
When should you report a player?
Before reporting any players, let us understand the various circumstances under which you should raise a complaint. Riot Games allow every player to register a report against a teammate or opponent under the following scenarios.
- Cheating
- Abusive communication towards you or teammates
- Leaving the game/AFK
- Sabotaging the team
- Disrespectful behavior
- Offensive/Inappropriate naming convention
- Any form of threat.

Reporting a player in Valorant
As mentioned before, you can report a player during a match or after it. To do this, follow the steps given below.
- If you want to report against a player during a game, press ESC and in the match section, click the report button adjacent to the player name whom you wish to report.
- A new window will appear asking the reason for which you are complaining. Check the reason box or type a custom message in 512 words explaining your cause.
- Follow the same procedure if you are filing a report in your post-match summary. Right-click on the name of the player and press the report option.
Remember, Riot Games is also planning to report players during the character select screen.
