How is quite simple :3

1.) Mute all and pings work wonders keep you from raging at others.

. Had a guy in my last game calling people the Tran word . Had a guy talking trash in game /mute all and pings went about the game whats amazing is one fight they screw up and start raging over.

2.) Role selection keeps you from getting matched every game as a role without players who know what they are even doing thus no Intentional feeding because of ur ADC, or Support not really playing like they should.

Pretty amazing you really won't get banned for muting everyone + pings because people spam them, and impossible to intentionally feed every game given role selection lol.

I'm not 100% sure if you meant muting pings as well, but if you do.. yikes. You're signing your own death warrant.

Hey, you definitely do whatever works for you :)

But I'd seriously consider trying to just deal with the "?" spam - a nontrivial amount of people drop mute all chat, but still send valid pings (actually this is what makes toxic players so infuriating, they usually make valid pings along with their ? spam), meaning you're missing out on warnings, strategizing, legitimate MIAs.. everything.

The skill gap between bronze and silver isn't that high, and getting out of that awful league will likely improve the quality of your matches. Just leaving the pings on so you're not half-tactically-blind could be all it takes.

Thanks, I agree, and there was once a season when I was I think Silver 1 in placements, and still, the match quality to me felt like it was Bronze V eventually de-ranked to silver 3 or below trying to get out didn't care though.

It would be great though if pings were limited to like one ping if someones presses "V" to issue a warning ping, rather than like 5+ pings being spammed at the same location that is what really bothers me doesn't happen in every game perhaps that does decrease with ranking up though.

But hey smite is even more annoying for me that on that game I have no option but to disable VGS commands completely because people spam them like crazy too and its worse because all you hear is enemy missing Middle like 10 times and id rather have my ears open listening for wards or enemy skills being used or something which is why if I could limit client side at least when pings are pinged to 2 within X seconds it would solve that issue :P.

Im just saying in general if I can learn to not talk trash to others or argue them, that others can do it too and not get banned <3.

I often fullmute all, especially in ranked.

About the only thing low elo ever uses pings for is to spam question marks as a way of being toxic about your plays.

Or I have bronze scrubs trying to tell me to back when I know full well what I'm doing - they just become a distraction I don't need in the midst of battle.

And it happens enough that I can't be bothered to individually mute all of them each game.

Things will probably be different once I'm in gold. Players may have meaningful input to offer that makes it worth keeping communication open.

I've seen high elo smurfers make the same assessment - just mute your ranked games in silver or below because your teammates will never say anything worth listening to.

don't flame, mute flamers, mute trolls, mute rude players and go about your day, it's what I've been doing since 2009 and haven't even been warned or banned once.

gratz on doing great, wish others would follow suit, some people think fighting fire with fire is a good idea resulting in warnings/bans

I think I may have known someone named Ada Wong from school, though it's probably a coincidence.
