Imane “Pokimane” Anys is trying to hit that Immortal rank in VALORANT. But her Ranked Queue experience has run into some issues.
Video – 3 of the biggest Twitch scandals ever
In a Tweet she said that she often runs into trouble as players tend to get weird about the streamer due to her fame or her gender.
Combined with the fact that she mains Sova, she usually has to communicate with her matched teammates to fully use the recon advantage of the agent. To remedy the fact she is apparently looking for queue partners or learning other agents that are less dependant on teammates.
Toxicity in Gaming
Toxicity in games against female players is unfortunately not an exception for many players regardless of which game or genre they play in. The gaming scene and industry is still trying to deal with discrimination and toxic behaviour against minorities in many ways. Even developer studios such as Ubisoft or Activision Blizzard are not exempt from this wide-spread issue.
Here is hoping that she can soon resume her VALORANT climb without any issues.
