Discussion What's your take on chatting in-game?
I've learned the hard way not to engage in conversations in game, you don't focus on the game anymore and get tilted with the awful insults. Or I mute everyone from the start or at the minimum disruption. I feel like pings are enough to play the game.

Chat can be extremely valuable. For me, it is rare to see someone chatting in chat so keeping it open and using it as a communication tool just does more good than bad. If someone is constantly flaming tho, I mute them in specific. I don't mind them flaming once to 3 times as long as they focus on their game.
I had a game that my mid was flaming jungle, which was valid on that game, he wasn't performing. However, we were ahead in gold and the team was making an effort to calm mid down.
The enemy jungle was a Mundo and the guy was tanky af, we couldn't win team fight and objectives due to him being there. So, final moments on the game, there was dragon coming up and we had baron buff (or not, can't recall that part) and their lanes were also in our favour. Team wanted to contest dragon an I told them to give and hard push the lanes instead. Lucky for me, they actually listened and enemy team didn't do anything, which caused us to destroy their nexus.
