New Chat Function Idea From A Toxic Player
Skip to [4] for my idea. Everything before [4] is background info.
[1] I first started playing League of Legends in December, 2012. After playing for a couple of months and making negative after negative comments, I finally got my first ban in February/March of 2013. Even after being banned and restricted multiple times, I haven't been toxic free for more than a month. There was a month where I was not really toxic, but it started to come back eventually. Anyways, ever since I started playing League of Legends, I would like to mention that I have been 1 to 2 week banned (mostly 2 week bans) about 9 to 10 times since I started playing and haven't been permanently banned (yet, as it seems). I've been chat restricted, if I were to have to estimate, about a little over 20 times. About 8/20 of these restrictions were 25 game chat restrictions, and the rest, 12/20, were 10 game chat restrictions. That means I have been chat restricted for an average of 320 games. I have also been ranked restricted once and I had to win 25 Normal (Draft) games to uplift the restriction.
- Showing my toxicity when I first started playing and some of the bans and restrictions can be seen here. Once again, it is only some of the bans and restrictions shown. I have been banned and restricted more than shown in that picture.
[2] Why am I bringing up my background? I'm bringing up my background because my first ban in League was a little over three years from the day I got banned for two weeks, once again, on May 6th, 2016.
[3] Warning upon warning, restriction after restriction, ban after ban, nothing has helped me overcome being toxic. Muting everyone doesn't help as I end up typing anyways. I've discovered that muting does not restrict the people in your game from seeing what you are typing which is ridiculous. Even when I did think muting restricted them from seeing, I'd like to send my regards by insulting them then muting them afterwards.
[4] An idea I have thought about is to have an option to have some sort of window somewhere that you can click on words to put in the chatbox. See what I mean in this picture). If you try to form a word by deleting letters, instead, it will delete the entire word or phrase. For example, if I wanted to put the word ass by deleting these portions of the sentence "Raptors Raptors" ([R]a[ptor]s [Raptor]s], it will delete the whole word/phrase if you hit backspace where "Raptors Raptors" would just become "Raptors". If this setting/window is enabled to show up, all forms of typing in the chatbox will be disabled. This will prevent you from typing things like "go kys, %%%".
-
In order to enable this setting, you would have to turn it on before you enter a game using the gears/settings on the front page of the client and check the box to enable it (similar to how you turn language filter on or off).
-
The window will be movable just like the chatbox.
-
The window will contain commonly used words/phrases from League like "No Smite", "Enemy ADC No Flash" and others.
-
There will be a scroller to look through all the words/phrases in this special window.
-
You will be able to search for keywords you want to look for to put in chat.
You could always of course communicate with pings, but this little window will help with things you can't communicate through pings. Having this window will not be required as you will need to enable it yourself. It may be tedious to use, but it would make the people willing to not be toxic in-game proceed in the direction of not flaming.
[5] I really hope that you all like my suggestion/idea. Please upvote this thread and share it to spread the word about this suggestion/idea. I would like to proceed in a direction to not flame. It's hard to understand how hard it is to stop flaming unless you are a toxic player yourself. This would be a step in the right direction for a less toxic experience in League. Thank you for reading and have a great day.
