@Riot Tantram - Why hasn't the option to disable chat been implemented?

So lets start with this.

Every game has flaming/negative chat going on in it. Generally always on whatever team is currently losing. The blame game starts and people just talk crap from this point on. To me it is whatever, and apart of video games on the internet, mostly comical as well.

But for others, who act like they are offended, just use the report system and move on to the next game.

So you punish players for using profanity in game, but yet, you have a chat filter to prevent players who don't wanna see that in chat already? So why punish for that? You even punish players who just tell other players they are bad.

You have the option in game to disable /all chat, so why can't you just have an option to disable chat all together? If this is the majority of reasoning behind players being punished, because for whatever reason smack talk in a game is now overly used as "toxic" Why waste man power and time punishing players for something so pointless anyways?

Pings are the only thing that are needed to communicate effectively in game. So why not just remove chat all together, or If you think its useful, just punish players by permanent chat suspension all together so they can no longer chat with teammates and only ping.

I mean you can literally go in a game, and start telling someone in a nice way, who to focus, or what to do on their champ etc....And you know the response that generally follows? Stfu, don't tell me how to play, or some other random blurb. Nothing matters. It's all pointless. Chat in it's entirety just creates the ability for smacktalk and "toxic" behavior as you all refer to it.

The majority of all smacktalk comes in the after game lobby. That is the heaviest blame game moment, But yet you add that into the chat list for the report system? Why, it wasn't during the game? It had no effect on anything while the game was going, but yet you will punish for it.

I personally get punished for telling people they are bad, and using profanity at the same time. I know I do this. Do I think thats worth banning someone ? Heck no. I am not out their using racism or wishing death upon people etc, but ooo man, say "you're F*ing Trash to someone, and its instantly considered Toxic.

I would seriously like to have the ability to disable chat all together, I don't wanna sit there and mute people, or drag my dumb chat window off the screen etc. I just don't wanna ever have the ability to type in game. That is the only thing I get punished for anyways, So why not just let me not type at all, and all problems are forever solved. I've asked so many times, just permanently mute my account. You'd never see another report again, Heck if you just made that an option, The majority of all tickets you most likely get for chat related issues would be gone. I would like this to seriously be considered. I don't feel banning players from the game solves anything.
