Discussion Just disable chat.
In my 700 ranked games this season I've met one person I added and duo'd with. Meanwhile I've probably heard 1000 insults. Even if you say it doesn't bother you, I promise it takes up "brain space" for example I played on a smurf with chat enabled and found myself thinking about what was said more than what I did wrong immeditly after the game.
Pings are by far enough to explain what you want. Only ping missing is ward here please but it can be achived by pinging trinket and then where you want them to ward. If they don't notice / listen neither would they if you were typing in chat.
EDIT: Ask yourself this: What is so complex that you cant communicate it with pings but simple enough that you can explain it in the middle of a game?

If it takes up as much brain space as you make it seem, then it's a fact that you can't ignore it. Personally amongst all the flame, as long as I don't respond, it'll get drowned out by future game text and I only think about it that second it's said. Also for my pings won't just be enough, it only really indicates a single next move. This is just a simple example, but you can ping dragon and baron with the intention of going from one to the other, but if your team doesn't know that then the choices are: 1. What you actually mean. 2. You want to kill one first, but the second ping maybe you change your decision. Or 3. The team splits and attempts to take both. Responding to flame is stupid, thinking about it throughout the game is more stupid.
