Why isn't there an option to gag yourself in game? Just thought this would help some of those ragers that don't posses the self-control (me included) to just not hit that enter key. This could lower toxicity and really couldn't hurt in the long term.

I read a post where a player changed the open chat button to something much harder to hit than enter. It would give them that extra second to remember the button they changed it to and why they did it.
Thought it was nifty.
Yeah, I need this.
I really really need this.
There is one. It's called Chat Restriction. If it turns out you need it, it's automatically applied, free of charge.
every toxic vayne carry ever needs this. 
Just unbind your chat key.
At first it sounds silly, on second thought it sounds fun, but after reading your whole post it actually sounds really good.
If you don't have the self control to not hit enter to type, I don't trust you have enough self control to hit the mute button on yourself.

Because it's really not the game's job to babysit you and your anger management issues.

Those kinds of people ARE NOT WELCOME to this community and should NOT PLAY this game in the first place. They and you, will get banned eventually unless you people LEARN how to control or deal with your personal issues.
If you really can't control your body to not press Enter, type the toxic retort and press enter again, you have bigger issues than LoL itself.
And you can always just unbind the key, no need for Riot to give you a shiny button to mute yourself.
If you can't control yourself it's you attitude and immaturity that's the problem, rather than if you type or not.
Target the causes, not the symptoms.
There is. It's called not typing.
If you have the self control to mute yourself, you have the self control to stop typing. It really isnt THAT hard.
Yea the self mute button is under self control in the options
Simply change the open chat button to unlisted. Hope this helps.
There is already. It's called self control!
I been trying to get a disable chat option added in for years now. People who get offended get a mute option and language filter they ignore but we can't get a disable chat? Trust me Riot will never add it, They want people to screw up to ban them other wise they make less money
If you can't control yourself to write entire paragraphs to your team then how can you control yourself not to unmute yourself ?
You CAN gag yourself, it's called "Be Toxic and Get Chat Restricted". Or you can try some of these awesomely creative suggestions others have posted! Best of luck with reducing your toxicity!
I'd prefer a mute all button to avoid the people who can't control themselves.
Please I need this before I get permabanned. I hate bullies and I just have to show them how much I hate them, RITO doesnt seem to like that :(
Get a fingernail file, screw-driver, the lever on some toenail clippers, etc., and pop the enter key off of your keyboard when you sit down to play some league, then snap it back on when youre done.
Or, grow up a bit more, I find myself failing and being forced to mention we arnt winning by chasing them into their jg so stop, or say things like well Teemo ADC may not have been the best choice. These comments earning myself a report, because the emotionally stunted, self absorbed, "people" that play this game cant handle being told anything even if its obvious. After realizing this, its easy for me to keep my mouth shut again for a long while.
If you really want a long term solution, some others have mentioned this stuff here and in threads like it and I think you can find this stuff with a Google search, but unbind your chat key, edit the game files to disable chat, perhaps also; consider hypnosis, taste aversion, and electroshock to stop yourself from chatting.
