How can we communicate and work together as a team if you insta-mute everyone before the game even starts? Please stop.

Lol agreed it's solo que. Muting is a good way to win because people rage for no reason misplay to much

I usually mute everyone when....

  1. I am on a tilt and want to stop it
  2. I want to avoid going on a tilt
  3. I experienced lots of toxicity recently
  4. I want to focus on my own play without seeing others screaming, "report feeder for feeding."

Let's be honest, more than 80% of the time, the chat is filled with unnecessary messages like, "OMG NOOB UNINSTALL," or "REPORT X WORST PLAYER NA," or "Please go afk, X," instead of constructive criticism. Especially in Bronze, where everyone thinks they are the best player in the world and everyone else sucks, there's really no point in seeing your teammates chat. I find that I win around 85% of the games where I mute all.

Use pings to those who mute you or your entire team. Faking a baron? Ping the bush you're gonna hide in. Need a ward in drag pit? Ping the support and then the drag pit. It would be nice if Riot would add a "Warded" ping, instead of having 2 Careful Pings.

Plus, retards aren't worth dealing with. Here's an example of a scenario where my enemy mid who roamed a lot. And this is just 1 in 1000 examples I have of why I mute all.

Me: Mid mia Me: Bot getting ganked Me: LB COMING BOT An ally has been slain Teammate: omfg noob why u no call mia Me: I told u... Teammate: PING U RETARD

2 minutes later

Me: signals to be careful Me: signals to be careful Me: signals to be careful Me: signals X to fall back An ally has been slain Teammate: omfg noob why u no call mia again.. Me: I PINGED U TO BACK Teammate: CALL MIA NEXT TIME STUPID Teammate [all]: This mid laner is retarded never calls mia

2 minutes after that

Me: signals enemies are missing Me: signals enemies are missing Me: signals enemies are missing Me: signals enemies are missing An ally has been slain Teammate: WHY DIDNT U TELL ME HE WAS COMING Me: I PINGED MIA LIKE 50 TIMES Teammate: TELL ME NOOB

The chat is usually filled with insults, excuses, teammates blaming and flaming each other. About 1 in 5 games will have nontoxic teammates who actually work as a team, instead of just making 1000 excuses or blaming others.

Nope. Its not worth. This community has proven to me time and time again that's its not worth dealing with. Wanna communicate? use pings or gimme curse voice info.

If you could only mute pings too...people spam pinging, because you dont follow their exact commands all game, so annoying
