One reason not to /mute all

I want to show people one of the negative aspects of muting people.

In my last game I'm sure most of my team muted me and they were making the dumbest calls. I wasn't being toxic or harassing anyone (and i can prove it if riot would let me pull chat logs, even though i had a "support" lissandra who stole cs during the 2 minutes she was in lane and built full ap with no sightstone). I strongly suspect these players just play by muting everyone at the start of the match.

We had an open inhibitor in top but our lee sin said "5 mid" and him and the other two teammates who likely muted me started barreling down mid over and over while the inhibitor in top sat untouched. They weren't actually following him, they were just running around the map like headless chickens. I kept on saying, "we have an open inhib in top, let's go top," but nobody but our mid was listening to me.

In another example, later in the same game we had broken open their base in mid and top. We had baron buff and minions pushing into their mid and top lanes, and they had lost both nexus towers. Their fizz was in bot lane and had pushed it about halfway to our tier one tower. The same 2 players that went with lee sin earlier went bot again after lee said "bot" to kill their tank fizz while I was saying in chat, "lets go mid, we can walk it in with minions and end, no need to go bot." Once again they probably weren't following lee's instructions but saw the overextended fizz and decided to pick up one more kill. As the adc I couldn't walk up to their base and end by myself. I decided to follow my team because I figured grouping in bot is better than nothing, we went bot and got aced. After we respawned lee said "mid we need to group lets group." We walked into mid, walked into their base, ended the game within 10 seconds after that even without baron buff.

Now I'm not sure if i was actually muted or if those 3 players were just incredibly stubborn but the moral is the same regardless. Moral of the story, don't start the game with /mute all. Don't mute everyone because some players are toxic because sometimes the team needs someone to call the shots.
