league is a very stressful game and anything tiks most players off when playing even in a non competitive area. with this out of the way, why would you add taunts, laughs, or mastery rank flashing? it tilts people when you have to listen or look at that all game or even for a portion of it and the all chat is no different, its worse because now instead of being tilted by annoying laughs, now you have to deal with shit talk and your own team flaming you in front of everyone. all of these things serve no true purpose for the game and they make the game easier to tilt in. league of legends tries to stop toxicity and rage quits yet they have things like this in the game that enable toxicity and rage to start. what are your opinions?

edit: yes down vote me for having a theory or idea that goes against your belief

Why do you give it power over you? I am not annoyed by taunts and mastery flashes in the slightest. It's YOU that makes it annoying. You're letting it bother you. It's mental.

I just mute and report them, just like those "gg ez" douchebags...everytime i see someone say that, on my team or not, i report them.

All Chat is there to let players acknowledge the other team, mastery flashing is to show one's hard work invested into a champ, and taunts are merely for fun... you cannot tell me you do not sometimes enjoy doing it yourself? this game is supposed to be a friendly game but how can it be that when u cant communicate with others? now granted things can get toxic but thats what reporting, muting, and other things are for. you need to stop hating on Riot bcuz if u hate it so much, why dont u just stop playing the damn game? without riot or tencent, this game would not exist and for all its flaws, i still love this game. it brings so many people together. Just learn to deal with things and if u really need it, take a break and play something else for a bit then play LoL. honestly the accusation that Riot doesnt care is appalling and laughable seeing how much they do invest into customer/consumer satisfaction. You try working there and seeing those comments on something you spent years developing. no appreciation at all smh

You can mute all of those but mastery in the sound options. And disable allchat.

Well OP... it's because everyone claims that they dislike toxicity and rude or "unsportsmanlike" behavior. But they don't. They really don't. People just want to SAY they're polite and sportsmanlike, but they want to BM. They want to talk trash and act like jerks. They want to anger their enemies and they want to smugly taunt people so they can feel like they're slick and pro.

Now chat at least has the perk of team-coordination in THEORY. In practice, it's almost always used for flaming each other. /all chat is rarely used for anything BUT flaming people. Up side... you CAN turn /all chat off. But tell people they can't use their silly little in-game BM buttons? Well that's like asking the NRA to chill out with the guns for a little bit. They want to BM and toss taunts around. People want to claim to be sportsmanlike because it sounds nice, but so many of them idolize the players/athletes who stomp people and then act like huge, arrogant jerks about it. Tyler1 STILL has supporters, after all. People love the trash-talkers and the BMing @$$holes.

They're gonna downvote you for daring to suggest that they not have their BM tools... and I'm sure they'll downvote me for saying this. They'll spit out the same old crap everyone says. "Why are you letting it bother you? It doesn't bother ME!" or "It was put in the game, that makes it a legitimate strategy". That second one is at least more honest... as it's admitting that it IS a tool used almost only to tilt people and act like a twat.
