Riot should delete the chat system

The only reason it's really used is as an excuse to punish users and make this game far less enjoyable, there is very little reason to keep the chat enacted in the current environment. The 4 strikes or less until permanent, is needless to say, not reasonable...There are players that have invested years and $100's of dollars in their accounts and riot values them at essentially 4 reports...completely automated at that. How many games you think you play in a month? I bet it's a lot more than 4...also I've read the "only x percent of users get banned stuff", but honestly I myself have seen how easy it is, and i've met a great deal of people who've also been banned. Let's say for instance only 2% of users get banned, there are an estimated 67 million league users, you know what 2% of that is? 1,340,000 accounts...I've never heard of any game company in the history of game companies, or any company period that would would be fine with losing so many players, and automate it at that. I'm not saying a ban system shouldn't exist, but at least last year in years prior it was somewhat reasonable, now it's cutthroat, illogical, and down right cruel. And before any of you go on about how you never been banned, or users who get banned deserve it, keep in mind you're one report away from being no different than any of them. I'm not just talking about chat logs either, have a bad game? you can be perm banned for "feeding", or ranked banned or tons of other bans. Riot likes to do "random audit" bans as well, The chat system though is really the easiest way.

It's not riots fault that players act like 5 year old kids who ate to much sugar. Maybe instead of trying to get riot to fix things we could start having people grow up and stop acting like idiots.

Do you know how to remove chat? (Cheat code: /mute all) Trust me it works 100% of the time.

I miss being able to turn off ALL chat. Saved me time. I'm to the point now that I mute both teams unless I know the player personally. There are fun, cheerful players in this game that have no problem with "chatting", but most are just trolls and passive aggressive kids that have nothing better to do than use childish name calling and horrible grammar.

I literally disable the chat myself. Not worth it. Worst community in gaming bar none.

Is this the logic they are teaching in middle school nowadays?

Or maybe you all should learn to behave like normal human beings.

Yeah... Getting banned isn't easy. You have to show a pretty consistent record of idiocy, and sustain a period of a two week suspension in most cases. So... no. If you get banned, you deserve it.

I think what he ment to say is that 99.9% of you are sensitive kids and take small stuff as being toxic and report. and all you need is 2 people in the game to report and boom now your on the naughty list. That to me is just silly in general

Delete chat? No. Have a clear option to deactivate it? I'm all for that.

In one of the games I played tonight, a player told the group pre-game "Samus72 doesn't talk" when someone asked what role I was going to play (I had already locked in Lux at that point.) After another person on the team spelled out the f-bomb four times about how we were now going to lose, I typed up "Why talk when conversations contain things like this?" I'm actually typing this post up right now hoping that a few of the people I've played with tonight are not ones I am paired up with again. I am tired of their negativity.

Still, League is a TEAM game and to work as a team, some form of communication really needs to be utilized. Even if I have to mute everyone, I can still watch the map and see when players are massing for team fights or moving towards objectives that have been pinged. So, I can still contribute. But there are times when people say things that even after I mute them, I just do not want to play with them any longer. Oh, I won't do something dumb like sit near the shop or not participate. That will get you reported and punished. But like Batman once said "I won't kill you...but I don't have to save you." And as Lux, I sure as frell won't shield you either."
