it's been 10 years, why do we not have this? I'm so beyond over 10 years of 14-16 year olds thinking they're the first person to say "first time x champion" in a ranked game trying to tilt the team, i literally never want to read what anyone says ever in this game, especially not before the game starts.

PhDs Nuts5 votesReport option yes, mute option no. Bad idea for several reasons.
Ban requests Role trades Pick trades Counterpicks Strategy
All more important than someone potentially being tilted from trivial jokes. Not to mention I could see the client bugging out and having everyone muted at the start.

The people that would use this option are people trying to climb quickly that don't want to be tilted by morons, they'rre not taking ban requests, they're not trading roles, or picks with anyone and generally strategy talk all goes out the window when you realize your team cannot do what they say they're going to do or they forget
Also keep in mind i'm not saying take the chat out of pregame lobby, i'm saying give people who don't want to read 15 years olds spazzing or being negative the option to mute people there so they can stay focused

I literally win most if not all my games by perma-muting everyone (outside of mid lane because of the very rare chance someone actually calls mia) and emotes and playing the game. You don't need to type, Do baron. You just ping spam it. You don't need to type, play aggressive, you ping the target.
70% of the games you play are going to be filled with toxicity, shit talk, immature kids who still think that "That's what she said" jokes are funny and the occasional dick joke.
It's honestly better for everyone if you could just mute all chats in general.
Eleshakai2 votesIf anyone spams pings more than once in a game, I mute pings. Just any fyi to you with your 'just spam pings' advice.
Ping once. I am not an idiot, I can see you ping.
FullmuteAll play2 votesFyi by communication people also mean pings, but as for me, I mute them as well, mostly pings are either stupid calls or degenerated flame.

exactly, all anyone uses the chat for is flaming and usually it's them saying shit that makes it obvious they have no clue what the fuck game they're playing.

SkillChampsONLY1 votesWait if you get tilted by this, or anything anyone says, maybe you shouldn't be online lmao
Not wanting to be annoyed by children doesn't mean I shouldn't play a videogame, this is one of the VERY FEW games left in existence that has typing based chat only, and every other game that uses current generation comms has muting capabilities from the very second you could ever hear them, so my wish is only to be in line with other games
boricCentaur12 votesThe point of a chat is to communicate so you can work together taking that away is just stupid.
I don't even think mute should be a thing but there are a lot of toxicity in game that requires it but there's the THING it's only in game rarely are people toxic before the game so adding it before the game starts doesn't do anything.
Like your example is just you getting mad over NOTHING. Also the only time I see players say that is as a joke.
Like the reason there is a mute is to stop you from hearing toxicity not so you can just ignore jokes.

Where did i say take it away? Not everyone wants to read strategies that you won't be able to pull off and just want to focus on their own game, in solo queue i'm sorry it's not a team game, win your lane, or don't, farm up, get strong as you can, and play your role in teamfighting / taking objectives and move on, you really don't ever need to type to win these games, the games i win I almost never type in, the games where i see the most typing are games where people are losing.
boricCentaur11 votesYou did say take it away wtf are you trolling, THE WHOLE POINT OF YOUR POST WAS TO ADD MUTE which takes away communication.
Ok you should go and play a rpg since people like you have no place in any multiplayer game.
Also again the point of mute is so you don't have to listen to toxicity NOTHING ELSE.

You're actually trolling if you think giving players the option to mute players in a situation is "taking away chat"
if those players don't want to listen to you, why should they have to? There is nothing in a million years you could ever say that will ever be the difference between someone playing bad and them suddenly playing better. but talking to them and irritating them definitely makes them play worse
you need education, I can tell you feel confused and angry about it A LOT
Widdle Megasette2 votesIf thats the case you should just dodge then. If theyre serious, youre only dooming yourself by staying. Also you would have to know theyre going to be toxic, otherwise you wouldnt mute them until they said the stupid shit that bothers you.
Eleshakai2 votesI play support. If I see my adc pick something I'm not familiar with playing alongside, I often ask them what type of support they need for it. Your 'mute solution' would simply lead to me NEVER getting an answer to that question and always picking unsynergistic champs.
Wayward Fish2 votesI think that a lot of what's coming across here is someone who is disenchanted and has been playing for a long while and would like the option.
When you've been playing for years and years at a particular role, you generally know which champs synergize and which ones don't and it becomes second nature. You also have support and carry players who won't care if their champions don't work together, because those are their BEST champions and they're just gonna make it work.
In the long run its always better to rely on your own knowledge and your own knowledge of your champion array/skill sets when making choices in champ select. Unless my adc asks for a specific support, I play one that I know I can win on with or without him.
I'm not for or against this measure in either case. Just saying that communication in the lobby has never been particular to my selections and win condition more than say, op.gg.
Eleshakai1 votesHow new do you think I am to this game? Genuinely curious.
Right now, there are a lot of VERY unusual picks coming to the bottom lane - Vlad, Karthus, Yasuo, Heimer, Morg(as a carry) etc
I know how to synergize with most lanes - I've been playing for a long, long time. But... I don't know how John who locks Bottom Karthus plans to play the lane, so I'll ask. Is this going to be a roam lane(in which case maybe I need to go Leona to make plays elsewhere), or is it going to be a push lane and i should go Zyra/Neeko to help out, etc.
And while I won't pick whatever champ he says, I will take 'how he plans to play' into consideration, because it ensures a better lane.
We should be encouraging communication, not discouraging it. Some people will abuse it, absolutely, but those people should be the ones punished - not everyone.
Wayward Fish1 votesI can see your op.gg, I know you're not new. You just have the optimism of a much more 'youthful' player when it comes to teamwork, even from a support position. I used to ask my adc's questions but I'm more often told to cram it than communicated with. I now wait for my team to initiate conversation to determine how to proceed.
I wouldn't personally bother muting anybody in the pre-game lobby but I understand why people would want it.

this is only meant to be an option for people who do not want to talk to people in pregame lobby, there is no amount of reasoning that will ever make me feel like it is my job to explain competitive ranked play to new players, if you're so new that you don't understand what you're supposed to be doing you are likely going to lose whether i can read your typing and respond to you or not. The truth behind this game and ranked is that if you don't do your homework, you are only going to be a negative factor in the games unless your opponent is even less prepared. Again, there is no reason to type in this game ever. AND i'm not asking for chat to be taken away, I just want the OPTION to mute people there, I can mute them everywhere else, and I can leave the post game lobby, I cannot escape the pregame lobby without keeping it minimized constantly.
Wayward Fish1 votesTrue.
Eleshakai1 votesThere are lots of reasons to type. I've had teams who actively strategized in the pre-game, prepared a level 1 strat, decided on a team-comp. Which is how it SHOULD be.
The fact that it's not commonly like that isn't a reason to say that it shouldn't be. We should always strive for the ideal, not accept the worst case scenario as being 'as it should be'.
There's a reason competitive teams communicate. Because communicating MAKES THE TEAM PLAY BETTER. They don't type because they have a healthy environment so they can use voice chat... but there is constant communication.
I'm not saying you should 'explain competitive ranked to new players'(although if you happen to get a new player who is receptive to advice, go ahead), but that doesn't mean that coordination and discussion are not valuable, especially in pre-game when you have the time to actually do it.

Eleshakai1 votesWhen it comes to the benefit of good communication? Yes. A team that communicates well will beat a team that doesn't unless the team that doesn't communicate is MILES better. This applies to every team game, every team environment ever. So why wouldn't it apply to LoL?

There is no reason to ask someone else what you should play in ranked. This argument is not great, and chances are very few people would use this option, but if I have to tell a silver / gold player to just play what they're good at since team comp barely matters there i'm going to be tilted and wish I HAD muted the team
Linna Excel1 votesI honestly think you need to dodge those situations more than mute them.

I don't have to really analyze this to know this opinion is wrong
i'm not losing tons of LP because of other people, i already lose 20% of the games i lose solely because of who i'm matched with, i'm not choosing to further lose more, i will dodge obvious situations where there is no chance of winning sure.
