Riot says they are against negative behavior in this beautiful game

And yet, there is no button to turn off champion emotes or mastery emotes. Apparently flaming someone is bad, but tilting them with emotes and being an annoying prick is perfectly fine, ain' it? And then after the person gets annoyed, tilted and mentally exhausted by this bullshit and acts a bit out of order. Oh boy, here comes the punishment. :)

Why exactly is there NO OPTION to turn off this side of the game? Not everyone is built with the mental fortitude to endure it, why are we forced to go through it anyways tho?

Totally agreed.

Taunting and spamming emotes and whatever else by all means is being negative and abusive. However, Riot support and the users on here defend it as being acceptable behavior and being a part of the game.

It's just another example of Riot's inconsistencies towards behavior.

Are you seriously complaining about champion emotes? Are you 6 years old or something?

RIOT, enhance your nice new client your so proud of and allow mute to also mute pings, emotes, and masteries. Simple right?

Using ingame features such as taunts and emotes to mentally tilt the enemy team isn't something toxic or negative; verbal abuse however, is.

There's a big difference between something that is non-verbal and confined to the limits of what the game itself allows (you can't make your champion flip someone the bird, for example), and something that is verbal through text chat and completely open to whatever the player wants to say.

Spamming mastery is exactly the same thing as saying "ez", or "I'm good", or "your bad", and it is directed to the individual player(s) they are around. Especially if you are in a single lane, where most of the spamming of masteries happens. It is RIOT approved poor sportsmanship.

At the very least, allow the mute button to stop the mastery and emote spamming.

I was actually going to start another thread about this exact same topic.

Seems like mastery spamming has gotten much more frequent and out of control.

Teemo laughing, throwing shrooms on your corpse. Not toxic, hue hue.
