Reaching out to Riot; Chat Settings
Tiffany Sullivan
Hello Riot ^^,
It would be really great if Riot made a setting in the game where you can just play with everyone automatically muted, including your teammates. I find myself more often then not typing /mute all these days because let's be honest, when players type anything in chat it's usually something provocative. I'm not saying everyone is like this, but I hardly see summoners using the chat to say anything meaningful or helpful towards the game. Furthermore, I think everything can already be communicated through pings anyways. Now I know it's super easy to type "/mute all" and literally only takes a couple seconds, but it would just be nice to have a chat setting for muting everyone without having to type "/mute all" every single game.
And It's not about the laziness, but rather a lot of the times I enter a game the first thing anyone says is something negative, sometimes the negative thing is even said about myself and it's not something I want to read. Here I am beating myself because of a mistake I made, and now I have to read a comment by someone calling me trash. After their comment I would just mute them, but now I know in the back of my head they are probably still talking bad about me. I'd even go as far as to say that the comment was offensive enough to affect my mood and ultimately, my gameplay. Moreover, for some, instead of muting players, their comment triggers them, and then you're left with a chat flooding by these two individuals arguing with each other in which you'll have to just mute as well. It happens more often than one might think. There should be an option in the chat settings to mute everyone without having to manually do it every time.
Having this option in the chat settings would reduce toxcitiy, and allow players to focus on the game more.
I was recommended by a Riot support employee to make this post on the boards. Please consider this Riot! ^^ <3
It doesn't bother people who won't use it, and benefits players who want it!
