Please remove unmutable taunts that play without anyone's consent

Idk when it started, maybe with SG Ahri, but for the past few months Riot has been releasing more and more characters/VGUs with voice lines that play to your enemies when you kill them. What's particularly annoying is that you can't get rid of these voice lines by muting the champion bm'ing you, instead you have to turn voice sound off, which I'd usually rather not do. If someone were to say some of these lines in chat it'd potentially be reportable for harassment, and the person doing well doesn't have the choice to not BM. Why do these exist?

My champion says "I hear you are trash, bow to your king!" Pretty sure that line would get me banned if I typed it.

Really? Do people get that tilted over a video game character taunt. I know league is toxic. I've had my fair share of annoying comments by the player but not a character. Probably will get hate, but if you're becoming annoyed/tilted over a characters taunt you should probably just take a small break from league. Trust me it helps to give it a rest once in awhile. (:

I think kill lines are a really good concept, especially the ones that are lore related or are only played after killing specific champions, kind of like the kill lines that Aatrox has (only champ I can think of right now).

To me most of his kill lines don't seem like an outright taunt towards the player but instead it's just him reacting to the champion that he's just killed, it's just a neat way of showing his thoughts on some of the other champions in the game and it helps flesh his character out a bit more. That's what all kill lines should be like, IMO.

But then on the other hand we have the really obnoxious kill lines like SG Ahri's where she's just like "HEHEAHAHA GOOD LUCK NEXT TIME!!1!" for no other reason than to be annoying, those kinds of lines should definitely not be in the game.

I think the worst is fucking Veigar auto laughing at you when he kills you.

Agreed, this game is already artificially toxic enough; we don't need bm/toxicity to be hard coded into the game too.
