im tired of losing LP because my teammates are trying to turn the chatbox into a soap opera. and if i try to ask them to stop, they just escalate, and then i get punished for trying to intervene

use proper choice of words
tell people to mute others
tell them to focus on gameplay and winning
suggest things that can help people win such as warding
give out lots of gameplay pings
put wards down for others
roam and help them or get the fed enemy's counter fed (e.g. if enemy jinx is fed, get our zed ahead so we can just neglect that fed factor)
don't join into the toxicity
indirectly cover them by pressuring other things
give them free farm

ultimately, good gameplay can reduce toxicity cos people feel better about themselves when winning. So make plays and suggestions to win games.

tell people to mute others, is the same as asking for reports. the fact you haven't been at the very least chat banned for it is shocking tell people to focus on gameplay. gets met wth "fuck you, passive aggressiveness, or even inting" suggesting any sort of advice is a waste of time, people will passive aggressively ignore it because "you suck stfu"

i do almost everything else you mentioned already

Weird, when I tell people "you should just mute him, he's affecting your gameplay" I get some pretty good responses most the time. maybe it's just how you say it.

Or you are misunderstanding how I say it compared to people whom just say "muted".

Notice that I don't fight the one that started it, but giving the "bullied" advice instead.

I've been doing this less the mute bombs (This can blow up teamwork too) and I now rarely see any toxicity that lasts more than 30 seconds in my games.

Honestly I agree. Pings are more than enough to communicate stuff related to the game. Chat is filled with toxicity in 90% of the games I've played. At the very least it's "Report xxx" from the losing team. I see no purpose for it and if people really want to talk they could use third party clients.
