Muting: Positive or Reportable?
We all know that the League community can be pretty toxic. To be honest, I've gotten quite sick of it. It's one of the biggest things that, in my eyes, makes League not as enjoyable as it could be. Another problem I have is that the toxicity tends to be infectious. I wouldn't consider myself to be toxic; however, sometimes I do get into some debates with people who are just jerks. I don't swear or anything, but I want to stand up for myself.
One thing that some people do in normal mode is just mute everyone before the game even starts and communicate with pings. I've only done this with one game, but holy crap, did it ever feel so good. It's not much of a hindrance, and it prevents me from getting irritated by trolls, my morale from dropping, and any sort of debate from starting. I now see why so many people do it.
However, I also know that it's an offense to not communicate with your team. I understand that this is a team game, but when you can communicate through pings, what's the harm in not talking to people who may or may not be toxic and/or trolls in a non-ranked match? What do you guys think? Is it ok to mute everyone, or should I just not?
