Idea to help flamers not flame.

Create a setting that if selected. Automatically mutes you to everyone on the team. They could unmute you in game .but they do so " at thier own risk" and if selected. Makes both teams unable to report you for any of the verbal toxicty categories

Shifting the blame off the toxic player and onto the victim is never a good idea.

But why would you help flamers to not flame in the first place? Flaming should be well known as something you just don't do ever. Why would someone insult someone in an online game unless its for playing unfair (scripts, exploits etc.)?

Because for some people its an issue of " i want to but i cant stop" and people baiting toxity are often VERY difficult to ignore

People flaming should seek psychical help because it seems they have huge anger problems if they need to insult others over a videogame. Its just something that should be clear to everyone that something like that is toxic.

E: Thats like heavily insulting someone on the streets and then if you get reported to the police or something telling them that you just said hello and nothing else.

Sometimes you just gotta let people know they are dumber than a business major.

Flame just comes with competition.

People's competitive mindset takes over there emotions. But this game is so competitive that its hard to not flame. But people just need to know its JUST a game. So it really isn't that they need to seek help it's just they need to tame that competitive spirit. (in most cases, sometimes people are just angry assholes)

Its not hard to not flame. In 2 Years, a little bit more but that deosn't matter, i was unfriendly to someone maybe.. 3 or 4 times? I mean not flaming, just being super unfriendly. So no, its not hard to not flame unless people don't know how to make a difference between a game and real life. You don't loose or win anything if you loose or win, its just a way of entertaining yourself.

That's a personal problem

If someone needs that feature, they need a chat restriction at the very least - what Riot already does.

Which takes away rewards. Gets your account closer to being permabanned and is only temporary. This feature would allow easily provoked players to protect thier accounts and not flame anyone who cares

It would send the message that toxicity is OK. That is something to be avoided. If you can't play nice, I see no issue with you losing things like Ranked Rewards.

It doesn't send the message that it's ok. And many of these people are neutral or even positive 90% of the time UNTIL they get provoked

Yes, it does. It provides a way to be toxic that keeps you from being punished. That sends the message that it's okay to do. And if you can't manage anger healthily (hint: mute and report), that's on you.

Muting doesnt stop you from typing and doesnt stop feeders or trolls

And it deeply hurts me. That the flamers who are actually seeking help from riot are mocked and thrown under a bus
