debate, should there be a limit to muting your team

I'm guilty of it too sometimes, but i feel like being able to /mute all at minute zero is unhealthy for the game as a whole. as more people turn off their chat, it becomes harder and harder for teams to communicate, and the cricket chirping often stems toxicity itself when a player who is trying to call a play is suddenly ignored for seemingly no reason, i understand it helps people with chat issues avoid being banned. but it's still incredibly frustrating to the players who did nothing to warrant being muted

several options exist

  • only allow 1 person on your team to be muted for the 1st 5 minutes of a game
  • make muting someone who isnt toxic a punishable offense
  • disable muting entirely "not a good option but it is an option"
  • make it so players are automatically unmuted after a certain amount of time "lets say 10 minutes"

there are people that know they get triggered easiely but have enough self control to mute all so i dont think it would be a good idea

Pings are enough to communicate

Most games I play in have minimal talk regardless and those that do, 90% of the time it's toxic, 8% actual play calling, 2% greetings and shenanigans.

If someone isn't going to listen to pings then chances are they won't listen to what you say in chat anyways.

You'd just have to adapt throughout the game, the correct call was to go baron, but if they all storm mid, then you better not try to go solo baron (unless you are some high AS + lifesteal tanky jungle).

Love how no one chose "Only if done without a reason"
