Players muted in-game should continue to be muted at the post-game lobby.

After countless games with toxic players, I've resorted to playing with all chat off and muting people as soon as they go sour. This has helped me enjoy the game so much more and be able to play tilt-free for the most part.

But, as soon as I get to the post-game lobby, all of the insults and flaming -I tried to avoid- gets thrown out at me or others. I enjoy talking in the post-game lobby, but I don't want to be tilted by something I can't even control.

I'm honestly surprised this isn't just an innate feature. Not having mute buttons or continuity with who you've muted in-game, is a bit jarring.

One second you're playing very peacefully, because you muted the asshats. Then the next, you're bombarded with everything you tried to avoid in the first place.

It sucks that toxic players have the advantage in situations like this.

This is also the case in champ select when a person is just so suddenly spewing insults at everyone for no real reason. And some think their tasteless humor is clever so they just keep talking and insulting people, but the only thing you can do is dodge or try your best to ignore them.

I feel that this feature is crucial to giving players the ability to defend themselves against toxic behavior.

pls rito

Edit - TL;DR: If you mute someone, they should be globally muted and remain that way until you exit the post-game screen. There should be a mute added to champ select, pings should also be muted from a selected player to avoid further toxic intimidation.

We should be able to mute pings AND not see them from certain people, you know, the people who spam the "?" after you make even one mistake and continue to do it throughout the whole game.

Maybe it's just me, but that shi* is tilting.

Yes! Absolutely. I feel that this is another one of those long awaited features that we've all been talking about, but it's not suggested enough.

Pings are so annoying if you mute someone, but every time you die they ping your death timer...

Ugh, pretty pleeeease Riot. <3

that's a feature they are working on (currently being tested in PBE)

I agree. There's been several games that I've become toxic in the post game because as I'm writing the report I'm bombarded by the very speech I muted in game, even more hateful as even tho riot claims they take into account post game and pre game chat, it isn't taken into account with their punishment system. if it was, then they would have an easier way in dealing with toxic players in the pre game lobby..

What if people that get muted a lot, lose chat for a few games?

yeah i don't know why they unmute them when the game is over. it just leads to extra toxicity for no reason

But, you can put players on the block list after the match? Just right click their name and add them to it.

That doesn't stop the inevitable few seconds they have to hastily type a hate filled message at you about how you are, "trash" or "kys".

It's a couple of seconds and then you leave the game - can you really not handle anything to the point that the time it takes between the match end and hitting the leave match button is just too much time?

If you were pissed at them enough to mute them then yes its probably going to rustle your jimmies that the brainless monkey is still typing at you. It's just a change for consistency.

You make a fair point, but I believe the intent of this post is that you shouldn't have to escape from the toxicity when you already muted it.

It's enough to have to deal with the intial toxicity when I first mute them. But something about the game being over (usually a loss cuz toxic) means the toxic player goes 200% more hard towards earning his ban. I don't want to have to see that big pile of steaming shit called their crushed ego.

You still have to pay attention to what people are thinking in champ select. Picks matter.

I don't see why Riot wouldn't keep the mute on after a match tho.

I agree, but this will never happen. Riot has clearly demonstrated their unwillingness to listen to player feedback.

Agreed. This is the only game that has temporary and not permanent muting.
