Why is there still no ''disable chat'' option

So yeah. As the title says, there already is an option to turn off /all chat, but there is no option to turn off team chat as well. Since Riot is incompetent in determining who is toxic and who isn't (aka I get banned for 14 days not because I feed/throw/leave in games), but because some softy cried themselves to sleep cuz a bad man on the internet said he should stop feeding and play a role he is good at. Unfortunately, i was with a 4 man premade team, so they all reported me and this ''amazing toxicity detection system bans me'' even though they call me a shit jungler and slander me in general. Way to go Riot. I guess defending myself from toxic players makes me toxic as well? I should just get trash talked and ignore it, even though i'm not at fault? What kind of soft world do you think we live in? I ain't taking someone's insults and just walk off with a smile on my face, hyper-positive and saying ''gg wp <3'' when the game was ruined by these people for me. Rant over. Anyway, add a turn off chat option for team chat as well. Cuz by the looks of things, the only thing chat provides to this game is a way to ban people who don't feed/throw/leave games aka the things that ACTUALLY ruin games.

Kind regards, Guni :3

Yeah, Idk. It seems more like im playing some hello kitty island adventure with a league skin now days. Miss the time where you could tell 0/5 ad leblanc at 7 mins to "stfu dude" when they flame you for no ganks.

Btw get ready for the juicy downvotes because the board is just full of esports justice warriors.

ah the usual "toxic premades who all reported me" argument

I mean, there basically is. If you disable /all you can just /mute all for your team; lo and behold, no more chat from your team. You can also mute pings and emotes.

A team of premades reporting is no different than 1 person reporting. All the report does is flag the game to be reviewed. I also feel like your "defending" was more retaliating than anything.

Riot isnt incompetent. they just believe everyone should have some amount of Self Control. You can already mute everyone already. You just want another way to do it before anything actually happens.

I just got a suspension because of a troll who kept spamming for reports on me. Would run off solo and die (he was actually inting, avoiding teamfights. And another who was afk farming. And I get a suspension for saying "Gg. We lost because people want to afk farm" I got suspended for looking at the match objectively in a 55+ minute game where 2 people didnt want to end, just run around farming kills. ANd for that I get a 14-day. I am really growing sick of this bullshit. We are about to lose the match, but we cant actually say anything because it might hurt the feelings of the two players ACTIVELY TROLLING the match. So Yeah, If I come back (Maybe I should try Dota or another moba that isnt sesame-street level coddling) I will recognize my team as the enemy. They want to screw the team over, then that means as long as I dont talk, I can do what I want. (No requirement to help in teamfights, No requirement for me to play an actual support in the support role. I can take all the kills and CS I want. As Long as I say nothing) I am sure thats how it works right? This is the system that riot creates, It makes players HATE THIER TEAMMATES. People can screw you over all they want, but as long as they dont say anything, nothing will happen.

there should be a block/mute option in the boards too since people think cyber-bullying a kid is fun to them.

Riot does not wish to encourage the lack of communication. They will provide tools to selectively remove chat when it becomes a problem, and some people may certainly choose to misuse that tool to disable all communication, but Riot will not make it easier to do so.

Because muting your teammates is something you should use when it's really needed, not something you should set by default in a team based game.

You can mute people on the scoreboard.

You can also type /muteall
