Just a question. Will I get banned for Mute-ing All in every match?

If I mute everyone in every game because, I may (or may not) have been a toxic player who couldn't just stop typing when I got into an argument, would that be a reportable offence?

Not communicating with my team isn't something that I want, but I believe that it may cause me to be less toxic in games. I'm just not a very mature person and sometimes I say things I never would "in real life", that doesn't make it alright to say it in league of legends, but there is the gap when looking into a computer screen that's bridged when it's my real name and my reputation on the line. I just don't want to be permanently banned. I'm trying to change my train of thought to just mute a person when they decide to be rude but, I find it hard sometimes. When, even if you are really nice in chat, the person still decides to bring race, sexual orientation, or my intelligence into the conversation. I'm feel like I'm totally misguided in thinking that I should mute everyone, but I don't have a suitable alternative that works for me. In the end, I just want to know if I will get banned for permanently mute-ing everyone in every game, I know it's not right, but I believe it's what I need to do now for myself until I become more mature.

No, you absolutely cannot get banned just for muting everyone. However, you are expected to communicate with your team if you are trying to use a strategy which is completely counter to what they are trying to do, or else your team ends up having to play a 4v6.

You could get banned for that. If your team is trying to communicate and you seem to be ignoring them it might negatively impact their game and they might end up reporting you. Enough of those report and you will likely be punished.

I would stick to muting the toxic ones.

I believe that it's okay (and even encouraged) to mute all players, especially if its a step you're taking to reduce your own toxicity.

As far as "not communicating with the team", pings are an excellent way to communicate with each other. Make sure to heed all "caution", "fall back", and "danger" pings. While also being sure to give out "on my way", and "enemy missing" pings as appropriate.

Short answer: No, you can /mute all and thrive as a player practically and morally.

No, u can't be banned for that.If u are scared because they banned that Singed support guy, that was just a PR thing.They didn't have any reason to ban him, so they slapped "not communicating with ur team" crap.It's not in the TOS.

Most people say /mute all isn't perma ban worthy, but its a debate because the "Summoners Code" even wuks said that is why some players get punished for not listening to their team or rather non cooperation in solo queue which is a joke because all players do is argue half the time over something they don't agree with but neither do you or by not playing by other players meta / type of play. Example just because a player is support doesn't mean they have to sit in lane for 30 minutes when they see their JG needs help or a valid reason to tp in another lane flash + Aoe stun getting ur team ahead.
