It isn't worth using chat in ranked.

This post is just a message and a complaint.

There's no reason to not mute your teammates as soon as they start flaming. Their input isn't worth it, just mute.

If you leave it on, you get flamed the whole game and any reply you make will only get you banned/chat restricted. (Just a note that League's detection system only takes your inputs into review and not whatever you were replying to, so if you get agitated and talk back. You're screwing yourself over.)

I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks it wrong that not using chat is the best way to play this game.

I hope League works on this, but looking at the current state of game (dying), it seems unlikely. GG Riot
