Please restore the ability to mute character emotes

Not entirely certain this is the right sub-forum for this, but I figured it would have the best odds of being seen here, I apologize if it's in the wrong place.

As of patch 9.22 muting a player appears to no longer mute their character emotes. This seems to have happened at the same that how the "Mute Allied Chat" function works was altered, before 9.22 it would simply disable chat but it wouldn't mute people on the scoreboard. As of 9.22 this function mutes people on the score board but the mute player function no longer disables the in-character emotes playing their animations and sounds.

This is a huge issue for me, as I have a form of ADD where when something gets repeated at me in a loop -especially with sound- it essentially "breaks" my brains ability to focus on anything else. As you can no doubt imagine that doesn't help my ability to play a complex game like league where people like to spam emotes a lot. With league this was never really a problem before this patch however because if someone spammed emotes you simply muted them and neither the sound or animation would play in my client and I would be fine. But now I can't. As a work around I've now completely disabled character voice lines playing by reducing the volume for them to 0 that solves most of the issue most of the time, but also remove all other character voice cues ofc.

So I would greatly appreciate it if either muting people on the score board once again disabled in-character emotes or if the "Mute Enemy Emotes" function in the settings included in-character emotes in addition to the overhead ones. That would still leave the problem of my team mates sometimes spamming them tough which "breaks" my brain just as much so it would be even better if you could just disable all of them either via the old method or via a new setting maybe.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
