I feel empowered when I mute toxic people in chat and not respond to them

I don't give them the satisfaction of my attention to their rage and it feels great knowing that because I said absolutely nothing that the only ones who could get in trouble are them.

I know some who mute others simply because he doesnt want to hear anything from him even though he said nothing toxic.

Those people are refusing to communicate with team and defintetly reportable. You basically undermine their words so why would they listen to you if you muted them?

I hope that is bannable.

You can use pings and that's enough for communication. You are not required to text your teammates to avoid getting banned in the game. Most communication from teammates are "gj" and flaming texts; pings are a sufficient form of communication.

Yeah you can mute pings too, if they value my words like garbage than I value whatever they do like garbage. Sure there is other methods of communication, but why do I have to be in the begging side for them and they act all high?

If they block me then it means they dont value me. I shall block them both ping and text. That is what the muting option does. It cuts relationship between teams. Sure there are times when someone may be annoying, I do think he should be muted if it affects how you play negatively, but if the other person is simply trying to teach him and ask him for why some actions took place, then why and in what reason is there for the person to be blocked?

I hate those who create a wall between their teammates just because he is commenting on how they play. Sometimes you got to tell them that they are doing things wrong. Sometimes you have to make them feel bad for what they did. Because of what this person did he will cost everyone else the game. If this game was more snowbally it wont matter, but now that snowballing got destroyed you got to rely on your team more often in this season than any other season.

Do you really trust other players to be the arbiters of right and wrong? Do you realize how many disagreements people have, and how many people actually just shove blame, because they don't want to be blamed themselves? You trust them to be able to decide who deserves to be shamed? So when you get outplayed, they should make you feel bad for it, and that's a good thing? Idk, sounds like that would just spawn flame wars and arguments over who did what, when and why. In the middle of a match. No thank you. I think there are too many sensitive, insecure people for that to work. Keep your mouth shut and play the game please. That sounds much more productive than dwelling on mistakes made in the past.

You cant be banned because someone mutes someone, regardless of the reason.

There is an option in the report place where it says "refuses to communicate with team." If that person is not willing to fix their playstyle and continue to do the same mistake over and over, then he equates to a troll.

Just because he is not talking bad, his actions and personaility has to also be accounted for. It is not fair when other teammates cannot do anything but lose because this guy blocked anybody from attempting to communicate with him.

Regardless, this muting system can be abused in other ways, it probably did bring more positive games, but in the end it is one aspect of refusing communication with team.

I mean, you can go ahead and report someone for refusing to communicate, but nothing will come of it. There is no rule in the summoners code that strictly says you have to use the chat.

"Just because he's not talking bad, his... personality has to also be accounted for"??? What are you even saying? What does that mean? His personality has to be accounted for?

Nope. It is not banable. He also specifically said that he mutes "Toxic" people. He does not mute his team at start and even if he does that is not banable. You can communicate with pings. I always mute toxic people before diving into chat. Especially now that I value my honor rewards.

Didn't they get rid of "refusing to communicate"? Pretty sure they did, and if they didnt, that's just dumb because you aren't really obligated to use chat, or pings for that matter.

That makes literally 0 sense whatsoever.

You know what's even more powerful? Ignoring them without even having to use the mute button! That is some next level shit right there.

Exactly. They want your sweet tears and hurt feelings. Don't give it to em. I wish more people would realize this. I sometimes actually just sarcastically agree with them if they rage at me. That works too. Just kill em with kindness. (Granted, it's fake kindness, but they don't know)

I apply this to real life as well and it works like a charm as well. Throughout my journey in life I have become both an effective advocate for myself and others so I don't have arguments escalate out of control.

They removed "refusing to communicate" from the report list for a reason. It's perfectly fine to mute and refuse to respond in anyway. Eventually the aggressors will move on to someone else and end up banned
