Riot - Adding Mute Myself Buttons

ChromeFluxx·6/22/2015, 2:43:55 AM·42 votes·2,335 views

I would like to think im not a toxic person, but the reality of it is that i get toxic way too often than i am confortable with. I dont go full "1v1 me %%% cock sucker bitch ass" u know, that stuff. The greatest extent of toxicity is the rage i have in all chat when some bullshit cc chain hits me. i would say something like "LET. ME. GO. JESUS CHRIST" and i get reported for verbal abuse alot when im trying to stop myself from targeting anyone with anything rude. Ultimately, i dont want to be toxic, but i have a problem some games where i cant do anything. (its a pet peeve of mine) Afterwards i regret my decision but i dont want to turn off chat all together. So if you could just add a "mute myself button" next to all the other mute buttons that'd be great. anyone with tips or anything is appreciated

Seems like a decent idea to make someone who recognizes their own toxicity but can't help it have a chance to stop themselves.

Hmm, well from your example I wouldn't think to report you for that. Your just making a statement and upset that you got cc locked. In MY eyes at least, thats not toxic at all. NOW...if your were then to say "FUK U LB AND MAPLHITE FOR CC LOCKING ME U FUKTARDS!" THAT would be toxic. You can't control what people do and your definitely can't control whether they report you or not. I've gotten muted for saying "hey mind coming with me to ward, yas?" so trust me, people will report you for anything and everything.

The fact though that you can recognize it in yourself is amazing and hi5 for that. I would say, take 10 seconds before you type ANYTHING. unless its like "lets go get drag" wai 10 seconds. In those 10seconds think to yourself, 'would I be offended if this was said to me?' If the answer is yes, then dont say it. If your not sure, don't say it.

Also, if another players starts to be toxic to you, DON'T FEED INTO IT!! Just say "hey, Im not going to fall into the toxic behavior your trying to promote, so I'm going to mute you now." After that, that players words are no longer your problem, and you have a way better chance of not falling into any toxic behaviors.

I really hope this helps and if you would like to play some games with me sometime Id be happy to. Im sure there will be toxic players in our games and I can just show you how to handle them in a polite way!!

Instead of, "LET. ME. GO. JESUS CHRIST" you should have done "LET MY PEOPLE GO"

Or. You can mute your 4 team mates and they never see your own messages.

If you want to say, what about hearing anything important, I say, you are more then likely going to forget you have them all muted and find yourself trying to order someone without them knowing.

Make it so once you mute yourself you can't undo it. That way all temptation to troll, at least in chat, is gone.

Not sure if this would work, but how about you try setting the key that let's you chat (typically "Enter") to not do anything?

Icestar11866/22/2015, 9:08:09 PM1 votes

Unbind the enter key.

Could always just unbind the enter key

sounds like a good alternative to "mute everyone every time", which is really detrimental to team communication.

The only thing is this "mute yourself" option would have to permanent on a match to match basis so that you couldn't just unmute yourself in you anger and flame anyway. Basically, once you hit the mute yourself option, it would have to keep you muted until post match.

I'm glad to see that you recognize your own toxicity. So few others do, hopefully you will become an example to those who wish to be less toxic, but can't really help it. Thanks!

I'm in dire need of this.

What I do when I really wanna rage at someone is type "/" in front of my message. So like "/JESUS LET ME GO!" You can even press enter, but it won't send because /jesus isn't a command. For me, it's a way of getting out my feelings without actually being toxic.

I am usually roxic in-game when I try not to be. I just get frustrated then I regret everything I said. Sometimes I cannot help myself and im trying just to say nothing all game.

I'm not toxic but even me would love to use it. Sometimes it's just too hard to not say anything but I don't want to mute people as they may be able to say something usefull among all the rage. Riot please give us this option!

I feel this. Sometimes I just have to say something or it'll feel like my brain is about to collapse in on itself. Let me just talk to myself
