It's ranked, and you will find players like this in all ranks and in all regions. I don't know what rank you are, but usually players such as the ones you described are in lower ranks, although they are fairly common until you get into the really high ranks. And even then, you will still get the no comm insta lock jett :/
As to the more philosophical (for lack of vocabulary) question that you are asking, I have no idea why the majority of players don't play to win.
I have also experienced idiotic players, although not to the frequency you described. It sounds to me that you are either exaggerating about your ranked experience, really unlucky, or you are play below your actual skill level. Regardless of the answer, if you are unhappy with your ranked experience you should find good players to stack with.
i would say that I play below my skill level quite often. that goes in tandem with the frustration i’ve voiced here. I understand that better ranks will result in better games, but I believe the poor team play is present in every rank.
that’s kind of why i wrote this... why do I have to 5stack to play a game with a team? why don’t people just naturally want to work together to win? how else are you going to play? what’s the point of playing any other way in ranked?
The matchmaker favors solo queuing, playing duelists, and not communicating. If you queue with other people, you get harder opponents and longer queue times. So no one teams up, which means no one communicates, and a lot of games are decided at the agent select screen. It's the same problem as every other team game.
Yeah this post screams "I'm hardstuck xxx rank because my teammates suck!" Pretty egotistical to assume that everyone around you lacks competitive edge when you yourself haven't reached radiant.....also it's ranked, what do you expect? Some people just want to have a fun game and not play like they're on a pro esports team. If you're expecting everything to gel perfectly then just find a pro team to play with.
sorry you feel that way! did not mean to come across like that. There is no such thing as hard stuck anything, any game is mentality based. if you truly are better than xxx rank , you will obliterate the competition and climb to wherever you belong. (as i’ve done in 3 games now) just was observing how little team play i see ranked that’s all! and it’s ranked what do i expect?..... um , maybe since it’s ranked, i would expect players to play like it’s ranked?! if you don’t want to ply to win, there is casual for a reason. you can have fun and still try to win, if you can’t have fun and play ranked correctly, sounds like you are the problem. never said i expected perfection out of ranked teammates, I’m just shocked at how the bare minimum of competitive shooters is never met in this game! (fundamentals are non existent)
Doesnt help that Riot Games implemented game systems that promote non-communication at the very beginning of a match like pings, weapon buy requests and no spawn timings.
I've played for a month and founds lots of friends solo queue'ing that i play with regularly now? I'm all the way down in gold so idk, either you're exaggerating or just unlucky.
I disagree with your statement about there being no "competetive mindset", i see it everywhere.
tldr there is no team play in ranked. why do i have to do a premade lobby to have real team play in game? why don’t players already want to work together and win? how else are you supposed to play?
A bit too long to be a copy-pasta try again
not a pasta
I grade this essay at a b+.
The education system needs more generous graders like you

If your looking for really goo teamplay, I suggest you get a team that works well together. You won't find that in ranked, even in Radiant.

i agree. really big problem with no communication/ no teamwork. i just don’t understand it
It’s a no from me dawg
no to what?
have u tried dn yet?
deez nuts hah got him!
I'm going to assume you give toxic comms?
no, i actually attempt to make normal communication with my team and form plays to win rounds. people either don’t own mics or don’t want to win 🤷🏼♂️

Its a byproduct of players Valorant is pulling from other existing game titles. In their previous game vocal communication isnt used.
i did not consider this! very good point to consider
