Riot Please Remove Chat From Game

It is bad when a normal player (Honor5) feels scared to type. Yes, some of these complaints are terribly toxic in chat, but some are pretty mild and I could see myself typing that if I was upset. I would feel safer if chat was just removed. The solution to being flamed is already MUTE, so just mute everyone at all times please.

I use chat for strategy most games. It's great for shotcalling.

I don't want chat removed, and I don't want people opting out of it because that removes my ability to communicate with them. Nobody with basic maturity should be afraid to use chat. The criteria for punishments in this game is very high, and it's easy to be a frequent user of the chat system and never see a punishment.

I would just prefer a option to disable team chat.

Riot has said that they believe good team communication, including chat when necessary (not always, not even every game) to be an integral part of League gameplay. While they will give you tools to selectively remove chat from other players when they are abusing you, or if you do not wish to chat with the enemy at all, Riot much prefers you to use chat for its design (teamwork) than to remove it completely due to a few bad apples in the game.

But that removes the point of team communication, the idea of chat is to communicate effectively with your team. If you're annoyed/mad/upset at a player or their actions then you should just not type at that time a lot of players type in chat no problem without any kind of issues there really is nothing to be scared of if you're following the rules.

yeah its sad, everything starts out fine but as soon as you make a tiny mistake, things go wrong. people say they're "helping" and just "telling me what i did wrong" well, please stop. flaming people, from my experience, stresses them out and makes them do worse. because theyre constantly afraid to mess up and get yelled at. i rarely see people using the chat for its actual design. i would mute people, but i dont know. i dont like the feeling of knowing that they're talking about me and i dont know about it. oh well.

I was told that simply even saying "kys" like saying "don't tell me to kys please" could even get you banned :0
