Three Real Ways to Reduce Toxicity and Improve the LoL Community

Let me break the screen barrier: This post is about you, your friends that play LoL, and the people you play against in every single one of your games. Use those games to decide whether or not these changes will be good for the LoL community.

1. Add a mute ping option, to mute the pings of toxic players.

2. Allow a report option in-game that also automatically mutes anyone that you report. There won't be any typing or description: just select the report category and that's it, this is to avoid people going afk just to type a report. This is especially useful because a lot of players subconsciously think using the mute button makes them weak, so they don't use it.

3. Disable 'All' chat. It's useless for gameplay and is most commonly used to tell players to report someone and to talk shit with enemies

To me, there's two ways to make the playerbase less toxic:

1. Educate them about how their words affect others and ruin the game experience. Riot has been using this technique so far, and after 7 years we still know it isn't working.

2. Limit how players can express their rage to other players (By the methods given above). There's an interesting study that showed Japanese people don't get angry very much because their language doesn't have a lot of ways to express anger. This is the solution we need.
