And i have never enjoyed league of legends so much, some of the least frustrating games ive had in awhile.

i turn it back on to see how it affects me, the enemy leesin is spamming all chat every single time he lands a q, wont stop flaming and bragging about he is plat v (in silver normal elo, now im not saying hes boosted but....he was trash af after early game) i was tilted almost immediately, wanted the game to just end.

Makes me wonder why all chat was ever even added in the first place. Very scarcely is it used for anything positive after the one outlier who says "GLHF!"

I'm new, but if someone makes a good play on me, I like to give credit where it's due. That is my only purpose for all chat as it stands. My first experience with someone flashing in and wrecking my illusions was rather awe-inspiring. I'm sure I'll encounter more of that in the future. But you are right about the toxic. My games have a 100% rate of someone going full crybaby at some point, and I wonder why that is the case.

I keep my chat muted at the start of every game nowadays. I don't trust the League community to be "nice" nowadays after consistent negative experiences with people in League that aren't my friends irl.

It's also one of the main reasons for why I haven't said "gg" at the end of my games since this season started. This season is unusually more toxic than normal, since it's usually a toxic postgame chat from what I've seen.

the entire game from first cs to nexus blowing up is usually toxic in my experience, good games are where all chat is silent, so why even have it on? never turning it back on again.

I know this sounds like a bad idea to say, but it has personally worked for me up until the end of the game when postgame chat appears.

I immediately assume that the average player in League is toxic unless they prove themselves otherwise. It's the "guilty unless proven innocent" type of mentality, which allowed me to mute every single person in the game. It has honestly saved me some time from communicating with others since I mainly communicate with just pings.

It's a bad mentality to have, to immediately assume that people are toxic without even getting to know them, but for at least my sanity's sake, I have this mentality so I can tolerate the League community to a small extent.

Yeah i hate it, i despise muting teammates in any game that wasn't call of duty like 6 years ago (squeakers) i feel like its an immediate disadvantage, but i personally play better with 0 communication not through pings.
