The battlefields and the CoDs of the world have proven the completely opposite point.

Valorant does not have a cheating problem. The Battlefields and the CoDs of the world do. The difference between them is not that Valorant has a vote kick feature (it doesn't.)

The difference between them is that Valorant anti-cheat is far more capable, because it is far more invasive.

Looks like you were getting down voted a bit for this a bit, but it's unfortunately true. I am not a fan of Valorants anti-cheat system, but so far it has been effective. It's extra unfortunate because it's effectiveness is inspiring other games[1] to implement similar systems.

I, personally, would really like to see both systems in existence. Valorant's anti-cheat might be working now and for the foreseeable future, but backing it up with community driven solutions (vote kicking) or moderation just helps ensure the environment stays free of annoying hackers.
