Toxicity is unfortunately a part of almost any online game. That’s no different in VALORANT, hence why Riot Games has filtered several words in the game’s chat to keep it safe for everybody. But if you are curious to see everything your teammates or opponents are typing, there’s a way to disable all filters and leave the chat uncensored.
If you wish to remove Riot’s filters but don’t want to leave your chat entirely uncensored, there’s an option to create your own filter and add words that perhaps Riot doesn’t think are offensive. This way, you can moderate your VALORANT chat the way you prefer.
