Remove the chat feature

One of the biggest problems with League is the people that play it. People are always bitching about how toxic the community is, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are wasted on this game every year by people that have their accounts revoked because they got angry at a game that is meant to piss you off. So just remove the chat. Add in a bunch of pings so people don't have to talk. I mean, it's sad that this game has come to the point where I have to move the chat off my screen every game just so I don't have to see what the fuck is going on, and so I'm not tempted to type there. And yes, I know there's a mute button, but that doesn't stop people from being toxic. Think about this logically, please, before you spam my post with downvotes (which I already know it's going to get more than 10 down votes).

Edit: I was right

The stage: Someone gets enough speeding tickets for their driver's license to be revoked.

The action: Propose revoking everyone's driver's licenses because "everyone speeds".

The result: .... No. The people who don't break the rules get to keep their toys.

...because they got angry at a game that is meant to piss you off.

League isn't a game meant to piss people off. People get pissed off from pretty much any factor except the game itself.

So just remove the chat.

Why? Because a small handful of bad eggs can't use it right?

Add in a bunch of pings so people don't have to talk.

I really think the pings we have, while bare-minimum as they are, are enough for communication's sake. Regardless, I wouldn't want to set up 2-3 different ping wheels and memorize them all just to try and communicate with teammates.

Not to mention not all of my communication is going to be tactical. Some people like to pal around in chat, believe it or not.

I mean, it's sad that this game has come to the point where I have to move the chat off my screen every game just so I don't have to see what the fuck is going on, and so I'm not tempted to type there.

It's sad that your situation demands that of you, but your experiences are not representative of the whole of League.

We are thinking logically - much moreso than someone who seems to be looking for downvotes from the outset.

Bad ideas - or ill-thought ideas in general - get downvotes. People disagree with what is generally illogical or a bad idea. You know as much, and for whatever reason, try to attack people who disagree with you anyways.

Thus securing more downvotes.

Perhaps you should consider narrowing your focus on your topic and your arguments instead of trying to attack and insult people based on something as pointless as agreement/disagreement points?

This makes no sense. just mute the idiots, talk to the good people. It says muting people doesn't stop them from being toxic? it stops them from being toxic in chat because whoever doesn't want to see their toxicity can mute them. if you're talking about afk/feeding then removing chat won't stop that. also, chat is absolutely neccessary for this kind of game for asking for ganks and other things. also, nice people exist too. i wouldn't be able to meet xayah or rakan mains for my club and duoing without chat. The only thing i can see this accomplishing is trolls not getting tilted by toxic teammates they didn't mute which results in feeding/afk. even if this did solve the toxicity problem, it wouldn't be near worth it.
