Imane "Pokimane" Anys, a popular Twitch streamer, unknowingly roasted her Valorant teammate while her microphone was still on. Despite her recent solo queueing efforts in Valorant, her viewers have been enthusiastically cheering her on as she strives to progress past the Diamond rank.
Unfortunately, players have been experiencing a "hot mic" bug in Valorant's 6.11 patch update, which unintentionally activates their in-game microphones. By default, the team voice chat is set to push-to-talk (PTT) and is bound to the V key. However, due to the bug, players must press the key again to turn off their microphones, leading to both humorous and regrettable interactions among teammates.
During a recent stream, Pokimane fell victim to the infamous hot mic bug in Valorant. While spectating her teammates, she made comments about Jett's "bad entry" without realizing that her microphone was still on. Her entire team was able to hear her criticisms, and she was left feeling embarrassed and quickly apologized before leaving the match. Many Valorant fans found the incident amusing but sympathized with Pokimane, as they too have experienced the same bug. Pokimane took to Twitter to express her hope for a bug-free gaming experience in the future, and other players are left wondering when Riot Games will address and fix this issue.
In the past year since its release, Pokimane has been an avid player of Valorant both solo and with friends. Despite accusations of rank boosting after reaching Immortal, she has proven her skill through focused gameplay. Her Valorant streams not only showcase her interesting plays, but also provide entertainment for her viewers through interactions with funny teammates. However, the game has experienced some bizarre bugs such as the game-breaking Astra bug and the amusing Valorant glitches going through walls, which have circulated on social media. Thankfully, Riot Games has been able to address these issues and the hot mic bug may soon be resolved as well.
