How to prevent yourself from being toxic in game forever

Step 1: Download AutoHotkey (https://autohotkey.com/download/) and install (it's free and takes like 15 seconds). Step 2: Go to your desktop, and right click -> new -> AutoHotkey Script Step 3: Call it "Disable toxic behavior". Step 4: Right click it and left click "Edit script". Step 5: Type in this exact code from the top of your notepad document:

; Disable Enter

Enter::Return

Step 6: Save it, and then double click. Step 7: Try to press enter on your keyboard and fail. Step 8: Play a League game with this script on. Voluntary self-mute achieved!

I can't count how many times I've wanted to say someone is bad, and this script stopping me in my path. It's an account saver.

Riot accepts scripts that are one input = one output. And since this script is one input = zero output, it doesn't really matter. That's like pressing an unassigned key on your keyboard. You won't get banned for using it. For all those who still question whether it's legit, here's a direct correspondence I had with Riot about it:

My question:

My question is simple: I cannot find a way to disable Enter as a hotkey for chatting ingame. I'm trying to make chat unnecessary for my gameplay, so while I am coming into that mindset, I want to disable it as a hotkey altogether.

I have looked through the config files too, but can't find the hotkey for Enter anywhere. Is it okay if I use a simple AutoHotKey command that simply disables Enter? You can even have the code:

; Disable Enter

Enter::Return

That's it. That's the entire script I want to use. It is okay if I use it? I dropped the entire autohotkey file in here too. You don't have to open it, it just says what I described above.

Answer from Riot:

Hi there,

NiceToMeatYou44 here.

I'm afraid the Enter key cannot be unbound.

Now, regarding the program, as long as you are not using Autohotkey to spam the chat (you're doing quite the opposite here), which IS bannable, then you should be able to use it without a problem.

I ask that you would use the hotkeys responsibly, and as long as you do, then you should have nothing to worry about

If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know!

All the best,

They always say that the first step to solving a problem is knowing that you have one. Seems like you've already realized that you have the temptation to be a bit toxic sometimes, and have found a solution that Riot gave you the okay on using. That's responsible, mature and an entirely appropriate way of handling the situation. Riot doesn't ever ask us to not get frustrated with our teammates, they only ask that we don't express it in a negative, flaming manner. You've found a way to solve that problem perfectly. Nicely done!

I can assess to that, recently as of typing this I was suspended on my new account for 14 days once more, and my main problem comes from always wanting to turn the enemy chat back on to confirm that me doing so badly is generating contempt for me on the enemy side, to the point where they'll spew dominating hateful shit at me due to my bad player and their supposed entitlement.

It also causes me to put words in people's mouths if they have nothing bad to say to me, which is just awful of an idiot like me.

The chat just causes way too many problems for a majority of solo queue players, but there also needs to be a more effective form of communication which may take a lot of time to try and implement. Not everyone can go Skype and/or Discord as it might lag their game and so forth.

Put it in your windows startup folder so it will always be on without you turning it on.
