My teammate wants us to name a suspected cheater publicly. What can we honestly report?

Gaming category photographGaming

After our VALORANT match, my teammate posted two clips from my recording and wrote, "This player is definitely cheating. Put them in every server."

The clips show me being hit quickly when I peeked. One shot looked strange to me, but my recording doesn't show what the opponent could hear or what information their team had. My teammate says I'm being naïve by asking what else might explain it.

I'm willing to flag a genuine concern. [Riot provides a post-match report route through match history](https://support.riotgames.com/en-us/valorant/penalties/report-players-after-game-here). That gives me a way to describe what looked suspicious without telling a wider audience that I have proved it.

How do I push back on the public accusation without sounding as if I don't care about fair play? The match was frustrating, and I don't want frustration to become either a reason to ignore the clips or a substitute for knowing what they show.

You can report the specific concern without adopting "definitely cheating" as your own conclusion. [Riot describes the match-history reporting process](https://support.riotgames.com/en-us/valorant/penalties/report-players-after-game-here). Use the details you actually observed and let the report remain a request for review, not a public verdict.
