a possible solution to the /mute all problem

lets face it, whether you engage in this behavior or not. /mute all is unhealthy for the game as a whole. and people who mute all 9 players from the start of the game make team communication a living hell, even though that usually isnt their intention especially with ping muting being a thing now, a suggestion i had, make it so the mute function is disabled for the first 5 minutes of the game, players in the punishment tiers could still be muted from the start.

people could still /mute all. but not until 5 minutes in, and with few exceptions. most people dont become "toxic" until someone has died. "unless they got trolled in champ select" and this allows people to gauge the salt level of chat before just preemptively muting everyone

Technically you still have pings to communicate to them.

If they don't communicate to you, you can report them for negative attitude. That's if they don't make any effort to communicate towards the rest of the team such as pings, messages, etc.

Them not listening to pings/chat is not an offense, thus why should they not be allowed to mute?

Team communication is easy without chat. Pings are very effective and easy to use. Hey they're even adding the new warded ping which is really nice.

Didn't you advocate for the removal of chat in it's entirety at some point?
