When I mute a player, I am protecting myself from them.
When I report a player, I am doing what I can to protect others from them.
The chat filter and the mute options do not give license to fill chat with obscenities over a video game.

Excellent logic, up voted.
I'm still going to fill the chat with obscenities. It's just never directed towards anyone in a negative manner.
I agree with OP, HOWEVER I wish I wasn't so afraid to cuss in chat for fear of punishment. Let me clarify: I was raised that they are just words and not all that offensive, however, it's not acceptable to cuss relentlessly AT someone.
The difference between 'Wow that ult is fucking bullshit' vs 'You're a worthless fucking player'.
I wish there was a vote mute to mute the player for everyone
The thing I hate is that this is a team game. Soon as you mute someone, welp.....you just threw away your team co-ordination and communication. If I have to mute my team I feel as if I already lost, and Riot's cool with this.
That's why you do both.Protect yourself in the short term,protect others in the long term.

yes, but what if i am literally typing "shut the @$#% u% mother#$@%^@#%$# hamster!" does that count?
I mute for more things than I report for. People being overly positive and spewing ignorant bliss piss me off, so I typically mute them, but they haven't done anything reportable.
it doesnt give a license but it makes no sense why you would have a verbal abuse report when you can just mute the jerk. right?
Too bad you can't mute feeding.

Because you might want to report on behalf of someone else.
Kind of depressing that a lot of people in this thread can't understand why you would want to be altruistic and save others from having to deal with toxic players.
I wholly agree. Of course, I'm also the type of person who doesn't tolerate it period, even if I'm not the one being verbally abused, and even if the person doing the abusing is on my friends list.
So this is where everyone is spreading the logic that expressing your anger in an in directive way towards the opposing team or your team is actually healthy to your mental stability--I've been looking for you guys ^_^
i cri evrytiem
In matter of fact, People mute then report. Or just report them.
So, You can say mute is 2 in 1.
sticks and stones......
Yeah mutes should be considered as something almost as bad as a report. It's not as bad as a report because anyone can just mute any time, but report takes slightly more effort.
The logic we need, although none of us deserve.
true
If a player has been toxic in all chat or intentionally feeding and the other team notices it, this is the logic I use.
"You've seen how toxic this player is, I'd recommend reporting him/her so they're not on your team next match."
wow, the game's forum still exists. ok
no shit
its the differnce between an annoying kid and a troubled kid
the difference between cod and lol is that the developers of lol think they can do something about the community
