Unpopular Opinion- Your mute was good enough

Edit: If you're gonna post a comment with the assumption that I spend my games flaming people and I'm just trying to defend my own actions, then you're just as toxic as you claim me to be, and you only prove my point further about how skewed things have gotten.

And if you're really upset about what was said to you, that's on you.

"B-b-b-b-ut I-I-I d-didn't WANT to interact with real people and possibly n-n-n-not get along in ch-ch-chat!"

It really just boils down to reports and Riot's time SHOULD be focused on catching people that don't want to play the game, not satisfying Mr. or Mrs. Social chat etiquette. Checking an extra box about someone throwing the game who ALSO is a dick in chat is just icing on the cake---- And I won't stand for those who think we don't need a cake, we just need the icing lol

The world is not sunshine and rainbows and get along sing alongs. Not to mention, competition is and always be heated. If you take that away, well then we aren't really playing anymore.

So, unless your fingers are broken or you can't hit mute for religious reasons, stop being silly and getting riled up over words. Hit your mute like a big boy, girl, or It and stop running to third parties to make you feel better about your moral standing

...stop being silly and getting riled up over words.

I legitimately don't think I've ever been more than slightly miffed by things someone has said to me in League.

That said, I'd always rather visit a restaurant with good food and a good environment than one with good food where I'm chastised and insulted for my choices, the speed at which I eat, where I choose to sit, and so forth. I'd rather visit a movie theater where people don't shout racial slurs at the screen. And, yes, I'd rather play a game where my team isn't going to be comprised of people who target me as much as they target the enemy nexus.

Weirdly, people typically prefer having fun in a relatively inoffensive environment.

Popular fact - the existence of mute doesn't give you free reign to be a dick to everyone in chat.

Be a big boy and stop flaming people over a game.
