Mute function not properly muting emotes

Deep Terror Nami·Sep 3, 2015·2 votes·273 views

I keep seeing threads about how we need to be able to mute emotes to stop spam harassment.

This is very odd, because I have confirmed twice through my own game and also finding a Rioter source about when they implemented the 'Mute' function silencing emotes in patch 1.0.0.154.

Apparently it has broken and Mute is not silencing some or all emotes. Please look into this.

#If anyone is unable to mute emotes, please submit a Bug Report and/or a Support Ticket for it.

You might also try the ignore function as well in the meantime.

What ignore function? I can only think of the in-game "Mute" I mentioned (which is supposed to silence them) and the client Block List which just prevents people from sending you friend requests and also perma-mutes them.

There should still be a ignore option as well as mute option while in game. The one mutes the other means you don't even see pings.

I'm still a bit confused. Are you saying there should be one of those, or something with lowering the sound to zero in the settings (or both) or something else?

There used to be a mute or ignore option before when you went to click on the name. The mute meant you wouldn't see chat but still see pings, the ignore was complete silence. I haven't played in several months now so I don't know if they took that out.

They didn't actually take the Mute button out (with the HUD update), they made it where you had to mouse over their portrait for it and their name to show up. Everybody hated that, so they put it back the old way, and this patch they put the name back too.
