As Once Said << (“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.” ) ― Akira Kurosawa

-Everyone of us face hard times and stressful moments in the real life, most of are used to get out of this stress playing LOL but sometimes this affects oppositely and get us even more mad and out of control , So why don't we just try to help everyone to stop negativity and play in peace together ?

Here is a simple Solution that can end a lot of negativity :

-Why don't we just ask Riot to put (a simple button on the client Settings )That allow us to lock the chat from ourselves so when we join the game we can't type to anyone and control our nerve and play without just flaming others and harm them that will lead to a positive game play for both sides the mad guy and the team mates.

-Riot should completely understand that a mad guy cant control himself and facing them with a ban will never be the perfect solution, adding a simple button is not that hard for such a huge company .

-So when a guy wanna control himself and prevent himself from abusing others he is absolutely a great human being that deserves better than a ban otherwise who don't wanna control them selves they really tend to harm others which against any human rights we should try (TO SOLVE NOT PREVENT).

-LET'S Just Start a new Era Full of Peace and Self Motivation.

Thanks for your Time

Riot should completely understand that a mad guy can't control himself

This is simply not accurate though. Most players get frustrated / annoyed / enraged at some point or another. The trick is being able to control it. It's not the company's responsibility to create solutions for players who cannot follow the rules -- it's the responsibility of those players to follow the rules, or find the self control to restrain their rule-breaking urges.

Yeah...this idea hasn't been thrown around three times a week forever.

Look dude, Riot isn't going to cater to people who can't control themselves by implementing features that cripple communication. It's a team game. You need to deal with that or don't play.

You have a simple, built-it button by evolutionary design - self control. Exercise it.

There are a number of problems with the idea of a self-mute feature, one of the largest problems being that its effectiveness hinges on a player's ability to be aware of their own toxicity. Most toxic players feel their misbehavior is justified, that they're in the right, and that Riot is wrong to punish them; the few that aren't in that camp are a small fraction of an already small fraction of the playerbase.

On top of that, self-muting pretty heavily impacts team communication (which is a pretty core aspect of League), and it doesn't prevent a player from trolling or intentionally feeding; and Riot has seen in the past that when prevented from flaming, toxic players tend to resort to trolling or intentionally feeding instead.

So when a guy wanna control himself and prevent himself from abusing others he is absolutely a great human being that deserves better than a ban otherwise who don't wanna control them selves they really tend to harm others which against any human rights we should try (TO SOLVE NOT PREVENT).

And another big issue with self-muting is that it's not actually exhibiting self-control or reforming. It's having Riot control things for you. Toxic players should be reforming, not expecting Riot to mitigate their misbehavior for them. They need to take responsibility for their behavior and actually change it, not expect special accommodations because they don't want to.

Self-muting is not honorable behavior. It's a band-aid solution, and an easy way out of reforming. If players don't want to get banned, their only option is to simply play by the rules.

Riot should completely understand that a mad guy cant control himself and facing them with a ban will never be the perfect solution, adding a simple button is not that hard for such a huge company .

Adding a self-mute feature wouldn't be a perfect solution either. And something you have to consider is; why would Riot choose to ban players who express consistent toxicity instead of giving them a self-mute feature?

And the answer is that toxic players are not welcome in League. They're not Riot's target audience, and consequently, Riot's not going to make concessions for players that they don't want to keep. Why should Riot work to accommodate players who don't respect the rules when those players make up only a small fraction of the playerbase as a whole?

It's harsh, but it ain't wrong.

So the person has the self control to press the button, but not the self control to NOT press enter?

Either

Practice self control.
Mute everyone at the start of the game.

if you submit a support ticket asking to be premaritally chat muted they will refuse to do it, so why would they do this? (image as proof if needed) https://imgur.com/a/YXbYn7g

Just don't press enter.

You're asking for a simple solution to press one button, when the simplest solution is to not press any.
