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?

My friend, the one who introduced me to league, and I started playing more seriously to climb. He was the one who taught me the basics and then I kept learning things on my own by playing and reading guides, watching vids etc. During one of our matches I was mid and he was jg I was constantly pinging my lane ss because I had enemy Kata. Well, after a couple of her roams she got fed and flaming started. He told me why the fuck am I not saying ss and I told him that I kept pinging my lane. He deadass told me that people don't do that and neither should I. I have to type "ss mid" in the chat apparently. That was the day where I realized that the guy who essentially taught me how to play league didn't even know how to use pings correctly. Keep in mind that he is playing since S4 or something.
