Make it easier to /mute all

Can we have a checkbox in options to mute all in-game chat by default, similar to the current disable all-chat button? Having to type /mute all every game makes it harder to commit to not reading chat. I don't see how this could have any negative impact as there is very rarely any remotely useful communication in the chat, at best teammates remind each other of obvious things like building armour vs full ad. Also the option will mostly only be used by experienced players who want to prevent themselves from getting tilted, or worse, banned for retaliating to toxicity, and who understand there could (probably not) be a trade off. It seems like a no-brainer way to beat toxicity at least for those who value their focus, emotional state, and behavior enough to sacrifice a little bit of in-game banter.

If you really never want to look at chat just drag the chat box outside of your screen and it will stay every game.

I mean seriously how hard is it to just type it? Hell you typed more here than it would type /muteall in like 50 games!

Either that or like DTIMED stated just move your chatbox so that is it basically unseen.

More work for me to open the options menu and look for a button than to just type /fullmute all

if anything i feel it should be harder to mute all. it's incredibly tilting to anyone who has to deal with you. and it reinforces the "dont use chat" mentality. and drives more players to gameplay trolling or afking to express frustration
