So this post is about the relevance of all chat,

Seeing as Riot likes to uphold the peace, and ban anyone who simply swears if enough people report them.

My question is why after 8 seasons of ranked, you guys haven't removed all-chat. Almost every game there's either someone on my team or the enemy team who's flaming in all chat. Here's where you say well you can mute them, agreed you can. But why is all chat even a function on ranked. Theres been many times where i get a teammate who is super tilted and tells the enemy team where someones position is or is flaming on all-chat. My question to you riot is why after 8 seasons you guys still havent caught on to the fact that the all chat function is super toxic itself. Were playing competitively stop promoting people to be toxic and arrogant through all chat. I am Genuinely wondering what the purpose and function behind all-chat. Does it increase peoples win rate? Does it help promote good attitude? All i see is the function allows people to tilt easier and faster.

punishing the majority for the minority's bad behavior is unproductive and just makes everyone feel bad

you can use all chat in fun/constructive ways and i see it used for banter or questions more so than flame. it's part of the game.

if someone is flaming all chat it just makes them easier to get autobanned since theyll get reported by enemy team too

Agreed, but if ranked is so competitive, why is all chat needed. That's my question, how does it help you win games more. What is its true function in allowing a player to move forward. All I see that its function is to promote toxic players.

I do agree with you to some degree. I would like to know what it feels like to play a week of league without chat. However, i do use chat a lot to direct team and to communicate gameplan, objectives, dangers and what to watch out for. Yes i mute at the first sign of toxicity, but some games i have won through all chat

Reports and chat restriction is unfortunately the best we got at the moment, and i highly doubt riot will change that.
