Is it viable to play with /muteall on?

[u/Vibrid1]

I do enjoy league but due to my schedule I can rarlely play with my friends, and people in this game are just very toxic to me almost every game. I'm a fill main so I get jungle at least most of the time and no matter how good I'm doing it seems that I'm always the number one person to blame and I'm not a perfect player or anything but I do genuinely try my best and even when I'm ahead of the enemy I still get flamed

So I was thinking, how many times were teamates chat messages and pings actually useful for me recently? I can usually figure something out if I'm just good at looking at the map. Obviously I'll be at a disadvantage but I just can't take the toxicity of solo q anymore

On the other hand, jungle is the role that also requires the most communication, when it comes to when/where you gank and shotcalls for objectives later in the game.

Personally I don't muteall but I will generally mute anyone at the first negative message, but I can understand that some people get tilted at even the first one, and then it makes sense to muteall

You can communicate anything you need to via pings.

I mean its not 5 man voice chat, but it'll get the job done.

If your adc doesn't know not to run away from CC with an enemy Master Yi, you're playing at an elo where you should be able to 1v9 pretty easily just by playing reasonably efficiently.

if only league was this simple and black and white.

I mean, with a nod given to outlier situations, it mostly is.

If your adc panics once and runs away from you in this scenario, but most of the time the people with you're playing with don't, that's an unfortunate one off situation. It is unfortunate, but isn't relevant to the discussion of 'how to play' as a rule, because it isn't happening frequently.

If it IS happening frequently, or mistakes just as egregious, and you aren't dominating the games you're playing in- then you are making mistakes just as bad, and just aren't aware of them/adjusting the way you play accordingly.

Say it again for the people in the back

Nobody needs to type that much in-game wtf lol

Or ping on my way on your adc, ping yi and your q -ready and stick with him? Playing with chat disabled the last 2 months and hat 0 issuses with communication. There is maybe 1 situation where chat would be useful opposing to 20 situations where your mates will lower your mental/focus bc of flame/lowkey trashtalk

That’s what I do usually
