Repeatedly getting called a 'r%%%%%' or being told to kill myself by trolls is a lot of fun, really. Especially when reports do dick-all and defending yourself can result in a counter-report. Can we possibly add an option to turn off chat completely? its just a pain to have to mute everyone every game...
WabberJocky7 votesFor reals man. I am on a 14 day ban because I counter peoples bullshit with my own. SO when I get back chat will be off all the time lol. Dont get me wrong I have had my moments when I was an asshole it happens lol the funny thing is though that I never got banned for that just chat restricted a few games a long time ago but then I have a week or so of just getting assholes in my games and trolls and I retaliate and boom banned lol. When I brought it up to riot they threatened me witha permaban so dont think that they care. I might not even come back to the game and if I do I can assure you they will not receive another dime of mine on their game.
ZenaSpiritdragon5 votesYou can also move the chat box off of your screen and it'll stay there. Just drop it all the way to the bottom or something.
Coldblooooded 3 votesBeen doing this now, what a weight off my shoulders.
burlytąngerine1 votesid rather just have an option that takes chat away completely on top of just like muting everyone and wat not cus im an angry person who bottles it al up bla bla not healthy bla bla shut up idc that bit has nothing to do with any of u but sometimes ill just hit enter and type shit out to vent and even and i dont want to send it but since i type so fast i like idk dont process the fact i dont wanna send it quick enough? so id like an option that would take chat away completely so i dont do that its like 1 of those hate mails u write but dont send it helps more then ud expect
Professor Ward4 votesGame is the bottom of the barrel in terms of player behavior, i wish you luck in the future.
Most likely a mod will come in here, tell you to mute people and keep your head up......
VindicatorOFThey3 votesJust /mute all
When u enter in the game , and all of your problems are gone :D
Coldblooooded 1 votesdidnt know about that :D
VindicatorOFThey2 votesTrust me , just do type that every game in the start ^.^
it works 100% :D
ak5212 votesIt's definitely annoying having to have to mute everyone. I think there should not be a chat off, but a MUTE ALL PLAYERS feature and a MUTE ALL PINGS. Because; a player can be nice and helpful and you may miss out on his points. So you don't want to simply just keep mute all.
Trashlord Kayden2 votesthere is. it's called /muteall works for chat but im not sure it works for pings but if you have chat disabled might not wanna mute pings anyway.
Coldblooooded 2 votesI'll look for that, I love being able to talk with respectful, helpful team mates, it makes the game so much fun. But then you get those assholes who ruin it for everyone... I dont mute pings unless someone is really spamming them, and thats rare
X Arashi X2 votesWell idk what people you have been playing with but i haven't been having any problems like that. Maybe they just don't like you?
Coldblooooded 1 voteshaha could be, hell, i dont even like me :P
X Arashi X2 votesI may have a game or two in a blue moon but I don't go off saying anything bad and keep everyone relaxed
Noobinoob der II3 votesLies. This is League, people are toxic. Don't tell us you don't have those games, cause we all had.

Coldblooooded 1 votesThere it is, that classic League charm ;)
captaincomando11 votesU can mute "Classic league charm"...But if someone go 0 15 u can't do a shit to change outcome of game! But why would you care about wins...
Coldblooooded 1 votesMuted. haha
PEEWEE783681 votesI have reported around 5 or 6 people saying KYS and many other things. I thought KYS was an insta ban for anyone i guess i was very much wrong about that. Onee guy even said KYS around 5 or 6 times
captaincomando13 votesOmg he said KYS to you...Oh poor kid.It must be so frustrating to deal with such rekless hate
Coldblooooded 1 votesThat's not the point... Sure it can be offensive to some, but not only does it throw off one's game, it can tilt others on the team lowering the chances of a win, and it honestly makes the game less enjoyable when a teammate is being an asshole. I'd much rather play with 3 people who are having a bad game than one dick who just feels like slinging shit. You seem like the latter. Won't be replying to you again, you've obviously a troll.
ModPrandine1 votesIf reports truly did nothing then how do you explain the countless threads in PB by players complaining about their [often justified] punishments? Also, "defending yourself" does not mean fighting fire with fire or stooping down to their level. You can respond back in a neutral or positive manner, or you can just mute them and continue on with the game. Either way they're more likely to stop with the verbal abuse if no ones giving them the reaction they're looking for.
As for turning off chat completely, this has been discussed in the past. While it's an interesting idea I don't see Riot implementing it any time soon, partly because having no or limited chat doesn't stop one from resorting to trolling or int. feeding to vent their frustrations. Maybe in the future they'll implement it but as for right now I just don't see them doing so.

This type of response is typical of Riot support staff. And your closing paragraph clearly shows you are basically just repeating a basically copy paste idea that Riot support repeat over and over without allowing for actual logical argumentation to point out : hey maybe Riot is not all knowing and can get stuff wrong in how they deal with this community... we are asking to have a "option" to remove chat, not so other people will stop trolling, 'so that is an irrelevant argument'; but we are asking for a option to turn off chat so we are not tempted to respond to trolling with "legitimate" agitation that is rewarded with a ban from Riot. what is amazing is how Riot treats us as if we are supposed to be like super hyper happy people 24 hours a day that are just never allowed to get fed up with what happens everyday on league, unless we suck it up and take it wait for 20-30 mins for the match to end receive the loss which is negative on our stats, lp and profile, which makes us unstable to play the next game, we have to receive all these consequences only to have a maybe Riot will ban them "if" they read the report; and this is a fact that Riot support do not check every report.
Six Inch Heals1 votesI think running into games and muting all from the bat places severe and unnecessary barriers to communication, but histrionics seem to be king around these parts. Don't mute people unless they give you a reason. If you're so easily bothered that you need to mute everyone, then multiplayer gaming might not be the space for you.
Coldblooooded 1 votesI love multiplayer games, im usually social with my friends on discord while i play. since i got rid of the chat box its been great. Use pings correctly, pay attention to mini map, it makes up for not having chat open, for me anyways.
ALittleBlueGuy691 votesI think one of the problems is that I see someone feed intentionally - very obviously so - and then someone else gets upset and lashes their tongue at them. I sympathize with the player who's upset. I used to care whether I won or lost too, so I know where they're coming from. The saddest part is the feeder won't get punished and the person who says a word against anyone gets punished by the SJW bot (quoting Dong Huap). But even that seems inconsistent. I reported someone the other day from dropping N bombs and I didn't get a message from Riot that someone I reported was punished, so I guess it went under the rug. It's a bit of a mess if you care about your rank, I think. I can only say I wish you the best of luck.
OddOwlOracle1 votesImagine a game with no pings, chat, emotes, and mastery spam. Players would have no control over what other players do. All you could do is "request" aid ping, and "arriving" ping.
What a nice and quiet game. Asking people as a whole to be helpful is like asking donkeys to sing. I don't need people four people to backseat me, like some annoying little brother, while I play League. Poorly, or well.
