Muting All of You Improves My Games

After so many attempts to try and enjoy chatting with any given player. I realize that I had it right the first time. Muting my entire team and disabling all chat assures I can perform optimally. Because I'm not distracted by all the bullshit typed into it.

You ever had one of those players who's really nice and friendly and then as the game progresses he turns into the stereotypical toxic flamer?

From personal experience, the more a player chats during a game (good or bad) the higher the likelihood of them turning into a flamer if things go south.

yes..I had this Yasuo in my team and I was like "umm I haven't played this lane before", and he re-assured me "it's okay <3 i believe in you" and was reaally friendly

..until he died during the match, and then flamed (mostly the enemy-team)

I guess some people are just bi-polar.. Kindred

All chat has literally no purpose, there is nothing useful your enemy team can say, ever.

Sometimes they tilt in all chat and so you know to camp them harder

I did notice that I get negatively affected by tilt even if it's on the enemy side but I can relate to people that can handle it.

I should try doing this more often. Because the second I start hearing flame about something, my effort put into the match goes down significantly and I start playing for the surrender20 rather than for winning.

I have a fun suggestion for you that I used a few days ago when I needed it. As soon as someone says something dumb, like, anything, or something negative, mute. I've had friends after game be like dude did you hear that guy this that blah blah, nope I muted them at minute 1. Pure bliss. Don't be reluctant or feel bad about muting people, they don't see it so it's not offensive (not talking about passive aggressive "I muted you"). Lets be honest the kind of complex strat discussion that people are thinking of when saying they need to be able to communicate to their team mates is not happening in the game often enough for the kind of tilt that you get from negative players to be justified.

And yes if you're worrying about who's going to report if someone becomes extreme and you don't see it, put your mental health first and reporting second, especially since there is a chance that someone else will report the person even if harassing is directed only at you.

But if you mute everyone you'll miss out on my charming wit and funny jokes.

Seriously though, if this is what helps you then carry on. Do what you gotta do to keep on playing.

But it's always fun to ult into a fed Adc as nocturne and to hear them cry in all chat

As soon as I see toxicity i mute all. Because I know if someone starts talking trash i'm going to respond and it just escalates. The ping system is so good you don't need to talk to people to win games.

Got reported for refusing to communicate after muting my toxic botlane in a game yesterday. Feelsbadman.

Agreed. I used to do this, then I stopped for a while.... now I have a chat ban. Rip my Victorious Maokai.

Back to muting everyone.

I only mute if they start to be toxic, only because of the way that I personally use chat. I type when someone blows a summoner, the last I saw jungle, all the new pings having to do with your abilities and everything, talking about a bait, talking about how we will go about grabbing baron when you know you cannot survive baron and a teamfight. It has its uses; but toxicity drowns it out like 90% of the time.

I play support, and I live off of my team patting me on the back.

item 2010 is my main item and I eat one as a treat every time I get an assist.

Sometimes my biscuits are too sweet, so I have to keep All-Chat turned on so I can harvest the enemy team for their delicious salt.

Sometimes if I do well enough, my ADC won't flame me or go afk :)

Imagine what this says about the League community when the best way for some players to enjoy a team game is to mute all the other players.

I do this when i'm tilting or someone is extremely toxic but for the most part, the game is more fun with chat. It's the real experience

I respect and upvote your choice, but I retain the right to think differently, chat cheerfully, and drink up 'all' the salt.

My S7 league resolution is to innovate, and actually make chatting at least 'slightly' interesting in every game I play (without being toxic/salty).

Ya...I know what you mean, but I think muting EVERYONE is a little too much. my tip is; play premades with people you know aren't toxic. (and of course don't forget to mute someone at the first sign of toxicity.)

don't shut yourself out completely (: there are plenty fun people around, stick to them! Zac

You ever have a bowl of professionally prepped chicken noodle soup only to discover a bone fragment in it in one spoonful? It can be the most delicious soup you've ever had, but that one bone fragment ruins the entire meal for you. It's that one little thing that you immediately recall from your dining experience. People who show immediate signs of toxicity are like those bone fragments in my otherwise enjoyable bowl of soup. They ruin it. By muting them all, I take one step towards trying to make certain that my soup is free of bones.

Give them a chance. many players are at least decent people, mute the people that are just trying to be rude :)

I did and they aren't. It only takes one roach to spoil a party. And league is infested with them.

I wish I could enjoy chatting with my teams, but I can't. It's just a big magnet for negativity. Even if my teams are winning there's still going to be someone on it actively attacking their allies.

The history of games in which I've attempted open communication with my allies serves as personal evidence to that fact. It's a sad and painful truth from which there is no escape.

Hey I starting doing this yesterday, and boy can I say I play well better. I hate when people use chat for negativity so now I just mute all before anyone says anything. I also have fun too because I don't need anyone telling me anything because they don't play perfect and I hate when people blame everything on you.

It does 3 games in a row where I had toxic players ,and even a jungler run into my lane after getting first blood, (He calls all in ping) and gank but stands in lane farming and pushing my cs while I die because of his call and then starts arguing chat... /mute all after I let them know why the game started going badly.

Doesn't matter though because I have a few upset idiots threaten me at the end of the game, then friend request me which I decline... Riot honestly needs to look at the players who intentionally throw their mates in game (I don't mean bad play) I mean when you ping you are going to commit to something and you stand back farming cs while your mate dies as a jungler when you make these type of calls... The funny thing is the player at end game who wanted to spend an entire game raging said harassing others with report threats isn't ban worthy but thing is I read these forums and see players soliciting reports always get banned?
