The Ability to Mute Yourself - UNBINDING Return/Enter Key

24 8 Kobe Bryant··1 votes·187 views

Hello, Riot, and friends!

A lot of our students at the University of California, Santa Cruz, were having a discussion regarding the chats, and toxicity behavior that comes around for many individuals. It came to a conclusion, that perhaps to lower the rate's by an high-amount would be to allow summoners to mute themselves, and or unbind their return/enter keys.

We think this is an excellent strategy to help those, whose moods are perhaps not the greatest on a specific day, are going through other lively things, that may cause them to be cranky, and not respectful. This in turn, will help many to conquer their toxic behavior, resulting in a great environment for League.

Please, I request Riot, to look into this suggestion, and other players, to please consider this, and push this agenda, for a great environment here at League!

Please, consider.

Thank you, yours, Sir Soulstealer

Seems like a waste of time to make since those people could just not type, press escape instead of enter when they do, or mute all.

Its easy to think this, but its hard to accept, that there is a ton of people, even ourselves, when we have bad days. There are some games, where especially in ranked, to a lot people it means a lot to keep moving forward, but it sucks to deal with so many troll people, a lot of time and energy is put into this game, the least anyone can do is have a self-mute button, its not a waste of time.

If you disagree I get it, but its not a bad recommendation, it makes total sense. The mere argument everyone brings up is, if they cant handle it, maybe they shouldn't play. No one has the right to tell any player they don't deserve to play League. League is the home a lot of players, who choose to play to get away from daily issues in their lives, to enjoy and communicate with other friends and players around the world.

So many players go through many issues in their homes, I get it, self-control. But theres also a limit to how much self-control one can have, before they break. Scientifically proven, there is only so much you can do, the ability to suck it in, only makes it worse, before you finally break. Hence, my argument still stays valid.

Pressing escape does not come to your mind, or not pressing enter, muting all doesn't change the fact, if you type, they will still see it, only you will see what you type to yourself, but no responses, It changes nothing. If you can mute all, you should be able to mute "ALL", including yourself.

This is stupid. Self-muting yourself is kind of detrimental to the idea of a team-based game as communication is key and If you're so incredibly unstable that you blow through warnings, chat restrictions, suspensions and perma-bans then competitive video games are not for you.
