Rito talks about the importance of chat, yet they chat ban you. Ultimately, this just punishes your team more than the individual who is banned from chatting. As such, it's probably the most idiotic response to toxicity. Either ban people for a selected amount of games or help summoners find out how to ignore people
Oh game you so silly.
Seth Lightheart6 votesNot really. I rather someone toxic not saying anything at all.
Nucleophilic atk1 votesYup, and you can mute them. Doesn't mean you should punish the other players on your team that aren't feeding, and hence getting bitched at, from communicating with someone that could have useful info.
Seth Lightheart1 votesYou are missing the point, I shouldn't HAVE to mute anyone. Mute is there so I can mute someone before they get the ban hammer.
With that said, I really don't care if they are trying to tell me dragon timer (when no one else has it). If everything else out of their mouth is sewage I don't want to hear it.
Sharinnengan1 votesNo usefull info, there are pings for everything necesary, and if an individual is not brain dead and know how to react to whats going on around (example a gank) you dont need anything more. If you dare to say you get this serius thats why you watn chat then you are just lying.
If you are playing seriusly then you are not bronze 5 you are diamond. You are on skype with premade duo. You have chat openedto all because..thuis is not bronze 5. And allyou see in chat is "top warted at 4:40
So lets get all this together.
If you complain about chat you are bronze/silver/gold (its the same)
Matthias91192 votesWhile you might think that, a majority of players on chat restriction actually improve their win rates.
Grashnim1 votesProof? The issue is Riot, like most video game companies, claim statistics but never provide any proof of them. I am sure there are plenty of statistics majors who would love a look at the data.
League of Potato3 votesNo the issue is you. You obviously got a chat restriction for a reason. You probably spend more time typing in game than actually playing. Stop blaming riot and start taking responsibility for your actions. You don't need to comment on every little thing that happens in the game. I have had this game for about 3 years and have never once gotten a chat restriction or even a warning for that matter. The only things I find to be acceptable to type into chat is helpful information. Literally anything else is pointless. If you are toxic, I will mute you. It pisses people off and throws everyone off their game. I would much rather have everyone play in complete chat silence rather than having everyone "scream texting" each other and dying because they're more focused on getting their point across rather than actually just playing the game.
Grashnim1 votesI have my chat client turned completely off in game bro. See my link at: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/GD/1lkw2qrd-how-to-remove-chat-from-game
I just think it's funny they suggest chatting is so important and it helps you win, then ban you from using it. I don't see why it's so hard to hit ignore.
League of Potato2 votesChatting is important, but unfortunately some people are unable to use the chat without being toxic. The overall response to your post alone proves that most people would rather see nothing on the chat at all than have to deal with someone being toxic. So while it is an important tool, it is not necessarily needed to win games. I would say it's become more of a privilege...if a player is mature enough to effectively use their chat to better their chances of winning rather than using it as an excuse to rage at their team for such meaningless occurrences, they deserve the privilege of using it. On the other hand, if a player is too immature to keep their useless comments to themselves and literally just pisses off their teammates, and throws peoples' game off they deserve to have that privilege taken away.
It really is surprising how many people really think that blaming, and yelling at your teammates for every little thing that happens is an okay thing to do. If what you are saying has absolutely no benefit to your team, keep it to yourself. At least, that's how I look at it. Maybe it's better to just say things out loud when you're playing. Go ahead and call that guy an idiot, but don't do it over chat. Don't get me wrong, I get pissed at my teammates when they continuously do stupid things in game, but pointing it out to them in an insulting way will not help us win. It generally causes them to continue their mistakes because instead of focusing on the game, they're more focused on trying to prove why they're not as bad as they're making themselves look. While I cannot say I have never rage texted in chat before; I'm human, some people really bring it out of you...I can honestly say I've never caused the rage fights. Either way I end up muting the toxic players before it really becomes a problem. Just like if you get pissed off during a game, it's probably best that after that game is over to take a little break, because going into a new game angry is just setting yourself up for disaster.
Sharinnengan1 votesSorry have to downvote for avery single reason.
Chat is for dialogues like "I am awsome", "Dat fiora skin is so hot", "noob jungler dont gank" and anything besides whats really useful.
Enter PINGS=Thats it! That's all there is to it and if you are premade, skype. I dont want your mumbling inside the game, so i just mute you down and ping.
Love it or hate it thats the way it is, deal with it.
Grashnim1 votesI wish it was that way, then in fact when I set chat to scale of "0" it would disappear. Must be an additive function and not multiplication like I expected - sad.
Sharinnengan1 votesIt is that way, if you want it to be that way. I used this way of dealing this the past 3 months. The best thing ive done.
ademitha1 votesI wish people would actually listen to pings tho...people get so zoned in and then bitch about MIA not being called or some other thing and they dont listen to the pings. But at same time people shouldnt have no map awareness either and should have game sounds on.
Sharinnengan1 votesThats my point dude. This dont happen at decent elo
Aerothal1 votesnope! i had chat restricted players on my team and i was glad they were.
often, i even mute everyone and use pings only.
Its liberating not to even think about typing! makes for focused games!
