/mute all. the world's most dangerous drug

Have you ever once just decided "f*** it im just going to mute everyone at the start of the game. ignore pings, not say a word and splitpush the entire game" sure it might free your lane from distractions. however this type of action is just as toxic as flaming or trolling. because what it does. is it prevents team play. and if other lanes start losing. not only will you not be able to hear their cries for help. but they may

A. begin to become paranoid and think you are doing it out of spite rather than ignorance and may start raging/flaming. B. start typing /pinging more hoping you will see. not knowing you just muted everyone indiscriminately. spend more time pinging/typing than killing things. feed. then proceed to A. c. /surrender spam "this becomes progressively more miserable as time goes on if people continue to vote no and not show signs of a comeback even more so if it's consistently a 3/2 vote" d. troll e. /afk because team wont let them /ff and they know game is already lost. because while you can't see chat the is already 2/12/3 and is yelling at the for not ganking once. because he was camping your lane and not botlane when you didnt need ganks and you have everyone muted

A BETTER ALTERNATIVE turn off allchat dont mute anyone until they give you a reason. if you do mute someone. dont be a jerk sbout it if you do decide to just mute everyone. at least respond to pings stay positive in chat
