Chat Restrictions.

Meliodäs·Mar 31, 2017·3 votes·705 views

Okay, I've got chat restricted, fine. I just want to ask, why the hell you have to get punished for words in a GAME where you can mute other people. There's a mute button for reason, so there's no need to punish people who are toxic. If you want to punish toxic players, delete mute button or don't punish toxicity(insults etc.) and let mute button be, maybe then someone will finally use it.

PS. If you gonna post something about "blablabla its ur fault, u deserve it" you should learn to read, I said i'm fine with, I'm asking why it has to exist. Also if you wanna to trashtalk me, first look at yourself and in how many games you've flamed, I flamed once since 2 years ago and got chat restricted :)

First and foremost, what do you gain from being toxic in game?

Possible ~~Gains~~ Negatives

Team cohesion goes down
Chances of losing go up
You and/or other summoners have a negative attitude not only during the game. but it could even carry over to the next few games

I could go on and list a lot more reasons how toxicity is bad for any sort of team based game, but in short: there's NO reason to be toxic in the game. Sure a player may make a mistake or have a bad game overall. Well, things like that happen and being toxic solves NOTHING. It only creates additional issues that can have negative repercussions. In your case, you have a chat restriction.

In-game chat serves as a way to not only establish a relationship with your team, but also communicate objectives. Why have a mute button? Well toxic players get in the way of completing the necessary objectives of the game. Why would someone want to see someone saying nasty things? The mute button is a useful device for a player to use if they wish to not communicate or receive communication from someone else for whatever reason. The great thing is that they can still constructively communicate with the other players and not have to filter through continuous lines of bad language.

I recommend you take some time to try to improve your behavior rather than blaming the system.

Typical respond from a player that tries to be nicest person alive, but we both know you've flamed atleast once. As I told other guy here, someone flames you? Just mute them, you still can cooperate with pings. You can't? Your own problem. You're saying to me to improve my behavior? I haven't flamed anyone since 2 years ago, now my nerves got once over the limit, chat restriction. Fun huh? :)

Well, think of it this way. The system decided to go ahead and have 9 players mute you because it would be a waste of time to make them mute you themselves. So you've been muted by Riot. There.

By the time someone has to mute another person in game, it's already gone too far. Chat is a feature that exists to facilitate communication; abuse of that feature has consequences.

Still, mute button has a reason to exist. There's no reason for it to exist if you can get chat restricted just because you got a bit toxic once in 2 years

The chat restrictions (and bans/suspensions) exist to protect players in the long term. The mute button exists to protect players in the short term.

you can get chat restricted just because you got a bit toxic once in 2 years

You cannot, unless your definition of 'a bit toxic' is way, way understated. Barring hate speech or other major offenses, being consistently reported for mild toxicity is far more likely to get you punished than one bad game out of hundreds.

Actually I've been chat restricted for one game I've flamed few times. Thing is, you can just join the game, /mute all. No communication? Oh wait, pings exist.

Players don't have a responsibility to avoid being harassed, they have a responsibility to refrain from harassing others. People should be free to use the chat feature as intended without being abused by other players. Players are certainly free to /mute all if they don't want to take the chance, but if they choose to use the chat feature and they are harassed, they are not the ones who did something wrong, and they are not the ones who should be required to change their behavior.

Having the option to stop you from continuing to cause shit doesn't excuse you from the shit you already caused.

Typical LoL player that doesn't know how to use mute, also I said i'm fine with chat restriction, thing is, if people get mad over insults in game, what would they do if they were insulted in real life? :) Conclusion? Don't be puss.y and don't let the flame bother you, simple. I don't care if people are flaming, I don't even report them cause everyone can get their nerves pushed over the limit.

In real life you can just punch the person on the nose and be done with it, in the game you have to actually cooperate with them and help them win the game. If you can't grasp the distinction, I can only be sorry for you.

I start up the game to win it, and people who actively sabotage it because they have no self control and can't hold their temper at least until the game is over have no place playing. IDGAF what you do or say in the post game lobby, stalk people online and spam them, find their RL address and send them dead squirrels through the mail, do whatever the hell you want. I couldn't care less. But be a good boy and shut the fuck up while the match is ongoing.

You can cooperate and help to win EVEN if you've been muted by other players, there's a reason why pings exists and why you have few options of pinging. You know why now people get chat restricted way more than in season 2? Because in season 2 people knew it's just a game, now most of you treat it as their own life. In game I don't give a fuck if you flame me/tell me to die etc. as long as you try to win, it's k. Why? Because I won't care about some random guy trashtalking me in game like all of you do :) Instead of focusing on how people trashtalking you, you should play the game and try to win as you said by yourself. And as you said, I will say it now. Be a good boy and grow the fuck up and if words in a game hurts you, you have mental problems.

Why should I GAF about whether my teammates should or shouldn't grow up? I won't meet them ever again, they could go on the rest of their lives being the biggest wishy washy crybaby pushovers for all I care. I'm not some self appointed hero that's gonna toughen up the world with my keyboard. I just want to play the damn game. But when some foaming idiot who can't shut up for 30 mins insults them and then they start tilting/crying/typing back or whatever instead of playing, then it affects me. And since it affects me, you better be sure I'll report every single one of the foaming idiots until they learn to don't start shit. Or be permabanned. I couldn't care less which.

MeliodäsApr 2, 20171 votes

It seems you're too sensitive to play any game with chat implemented. I agree with that if you flame for whole game, you should be reported. What if someone flames, let's say, every 10 min? It doesn't matter then, he isn't doing shit to you and he doesn't affect you. Someone from your team flames othere guy? Mute and play. By joining the conversation of two people who flame eachother you'll be fucked by both of them and you won't be able to play the game to the fullest.

LimmieApr 2, 20171 votes

I'm too sensitive because I don't chat to be used for things that aren't relevant to the game? If you're so starved of human contact that you can't keep game chat for game communication only seek online dating, not League of Legends. I also don't know where you got the notion that I join in from. I don't. I keep doing what the chatty idiots should be doing, which is playing the game, then at the end report everyone involved. Let Riot sort them out.

People flamming does affect me because it affects my teammates, just like people talking to the driver in the bus I'm in affects me even if I'm not part of the conversation. It keeps them from doing their damn jobs. When I'm riding a bus I don't people striking up conversation with the drivers, and when I'm playing I don't want people being keyboard warriors instead of playing. It's as simple as that.

Just because i have the ability to do something doesn't mean I should have to do it just because someone else can't be bothered to control their own actions.

Some people (mistakenly) leave their chat open even when someone is flaming / being toxic on the off chance they have something relevant to say. Some people like to goad the troll on and see how much evidence they can get for the after game report, some people want to know exactly what to report for at the end of the game so they leave the chat open.

TLDR: don't be an asshole and you won't have any problems.
