it encourages players. rather than use positive communication.to use NO communication and automute/ping ignore because the general consensus is "if you type you get banned regardless of what you say or how you say it"
ModWulf Helhammer13 votesNo, that's not the general consensus at all. The only people that have that idea are the people that got punished that for some reason think they did nothing wrong.
The mute feature is there to prevent someone from ruining your match further with their toxicity. It occurs with the presumed idea that the game was already damaged by a players toxicity. The report feature is there to ensure that no one else has to go through what you did.

then there should be restrictions on how often it can be used. its annoying having to deal with players who just automute from the get go. muting a player who isnt being toxic. is toxic
Void Nargacuga1 votesWhat if the player who auto-mutes is doing it so they can focus on the game without any chance of being put on tilt due to chat from other players? And they always communicate with pings so they let the other players have an idea of what their plan is.

if theyre communicating with pings. and responding to others pings with either pings or typing. it's one thing. but the vast majority of automuters ignore pings as well.
Void Nargacuga1 votesI always try to communicate, though pings are MUCH faster then trying to type things out. On occasion though I'll type things like "Dragon?" since its quick and easy, then wait for a response (be it a Targeting Dragon ping or via chat). If only people listened and noticed pings more often though. It could seriously increase how fast a teammate responds to that mid MIA pings WITH warning pings heading to bot/top and gets out alive while wasting an enemies precious time.
Atlas The Bird1 votesSeems like quite the blanket statement, I don't know how you can possibly say that.
EvilDustMan4 votesYou are mistaking loud vocal minorities for the majority.
scazzman1 votesit puts your team on a handicap. often. players dont know theyre muted. and may just try harder and harder to get x player's attention. usually in the form of ping spam or all caps /insults resulting in tilting the players who didnt mute. tilting the player trying to get people's attention. and resulting in people having to guess intentions
scazzman1 votesor. riot should add a "no chat" queue with 3rd party voice comms and pings only
Astôlfo1 votesThe mute button isn't an excuse to be an asshole, because people should not have to use it in the first place. Them using it shows that there's a significant problem already, and it's their way of telling you to shut up.

not always. there are a LARGE amount of people "i used to be one of them" who just mute everyone from the get go regardless of whether people are toxic
Astôlfo1 votesNothing wrong with muting like that. But if they actually have to mute because someone was toxic, that's the issue.

there's nothing "wrong with it" but it's incredibly detrimental to teamwork. and there's very little you can do about it. which is why i think you should have a limit to how many people you can mute per day
