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
