@Riot Can you give me the ability to "opt out" of all game chat?
I am going to be honest, I can be very toxic if my teammates throw a game that I am working very hard to win. I am not the kind of person that will repeatedly scream at someone, but if they lose the game single handedly, I will tell him he is a god awful player and he wasted everybody's time.
Generally though, if my teammates aren't intentionally pissing me off... or doing something that someone in my elo range should know not to, I am nice. Because I am always trying to win the game, even if I am pissed off. I know typing to teammates are the fastest way to lose game, so I try to follow that rule. The only times I lash out, is if I am being provoked.
Before the ranked restrictions, I have never had any issues with toxicity bans... however I am now constantly dealing with ranked bans for what seems to be a single report from a bad game where the reporter has intentionally tried to make me snap. I know I could just "mute" these players, but when I am pissed off and having a free win being taken away, I just cannot bring myself to doing that everytime, and by that time that I decide to mute someone, I am already mad.
I know Riot that your stance on Voice chat is that since some players are toxic, we should not risk having to have that ability. I believe if you permanently chatban me from sending any messages, I believe both me and my teammates would have a better experience in Ranked games. Since my only issues are chat related, I don't know how keeping me chat banned would allow me to "ruin" games for others. The ping system is sufficient for anything I would like to communicate with my team.
My IGN name is "Siberian Stars", and I would appreciate it greatly if you decide to do this.
