Riot, I would really appreciate an option to mute myself or at least unbind the chat key.

I have an attitude problem. I've been chat restricted for it before. For a while, I got better, but honestly its just too easy to regress into old habits. I will likely be chat restricted again soon do to the negative things I say when I perceive that my team (including myself) is under performing.

I think there should be an option to mute myself, so that I could remove the temptation of of raging at my teammates when I notice our attitude deteriorating.

Ideally, this feature would also make unmuting myself somewhat cumbersome, so that I could not hastily switch it off and begin raging at my teammates during a convenient grey screen. Maybe something like a pop up that says "Are you calm sure?" with the "Yes" prompt greyed out for 30ish seconds. Further, pressing enter while muted - instead of opening the typing window - could show us a reassuring system message, like

"Trust your teammates!"

or

"Actions speak louder than words!"

or

"Try using the Smart Ping TM system - if Star Horn Royal Club can, you can too!"

or simply

"Don't rage at your teammates, you stupid fucking salty dog!"

Before people start commenting with stuff like "Just stop raging you pansy" I'm gunna give a blanket response to that kind of stuff:

I'm trying. Its hard. Its honestly kind of addictive. Its like trying to stop biting your nails, or drinking too much coffee, or smoking cigarettes.

Its really goddamn hard, and there's no way to make it easier short of breaking my enter key. You can even unbind/rebind the chat but for fucks sake.
