When you ask someone not to mute you, then validate thier reason for muting teams in-game.

I am staring to find it incredibly funny.

I Mute my teams by default BECAUSE of the toxicity, flaming, verbal abuse, and elitist snobby attitude (Bronze players who think they are "too good for this team") For me its easier to mute my teams and focus on my game rather than listening to some kid who thinks they are challenger tier telling the rest of the team how garbage/trash they are. So I tell my teams "Fair warning, I am muting the team" if they ask, I tell them why.

But lately I have been seeing alot of people who will say "Dont mute me, I wont flame" and then in game prove to be the exact reason I mute my teams "Omg this trash team" "Omg this garbage player" "Wish this dumpster-fire team woud not sukk so bad" Or the like and they dont think THAT is flaming? because "Its not toxic if its true" <---thats thier logic. They can flame thier team, degrade thier team, insult and tear down teammates, Tell them how completely worthless they are. But its ok, its not flaming as long as (according to them) its true.

This is why I mute my teams. The players who actually want to play WITH thier teams, and not spend the game talking down to thier team, is few and far between. Its NOT worth it to chance it. Mute your teams and move on. There are no longer any actual team players. Anyone who says "Dont mute me, I wont flame you" is bullshitting you. There are no players who actually want to give or accept help. They just want to feel superior to the other players on thier team. So enjoy your new "solo carry" League. On the same team, but its every player for themselves.

Team Carry > Solo Carry

TL:DR When people tell you "dont mute me, I wont flame you" Then spend the entire game flaming and degrading you because you missed a last hit minion, or got 3v1 camped (Mid/jung/bot) and went 0/1

Chat is useless anyways.... typing is often too slow and distracts more than it helps....pings are way more useful most of the time

I don't flame but I wouldn't care if muted me since I usually don't say much at all... and most of the people I play with also seem to not say all that much (and if they do it is usually negative or just X champion R/flash or such)
