I like the game itself, but the chat itself seems to be used too often to just insult other players and they loss of enjoyment this is causing for me is definitely outweighing any benefit from teamwork or the occasional nice message. It would be nice if you could just completely disable the chat to enjoy the gameplay and avoid being insulted during the gameplay (recent example below)

Edit: I meant to reply and agree with E27181; not sure why itâs saying I responded to Allergic. I donât see a way to change it either.
I agree with the sentiment, but Iâm not sure that is the best approach. Before going that far, Iâd rather see two changes tried first:
- Add an option for a Taunts only chat; meaning the only communication you receive from allies is the in-game taunts/chat commands, and pings. After enough experience, map pings are usually enough to communicate with other players, and the in-game taunts can be used to fill in the gaps. Itâs not uncommon to have language barriers in team games, so experienced players should be used to this already.
- Enforcement: Aside from more enforcement (many people think reports donât do much, myself included), add and utilize more frequently a new enforcement mechanic where toxic players are restricted to using in-game taunts only; and have that enforcement applied for longer periods of time than a typical ban. There are still ways to be toxic using only in-game commands, but it would probably hinder (slightly) the frequency of repeat offenders. Also, an icon should be displayed next to a playerâs name as well to indicate that they can only send (or receive if taunts-only chat is enabled) in-game taunts.

Ok, this is a perfect example of why you are pretty unpopular here. You make toxic comments, and then when people called you out for it you said they were âunable to deal with itâ and a ton of other stupid stuff, before proceeding to set them to the ignore list. You would know a lot about toxicity wouldnât you, considering you are one of those toxic kinds of users, and I assume players. Stop it already.

You can use one of the menus top right (not sure which) to mute players and no longer see their messages.
I know that, but I kind of like calling out AllergicTable, because I know Iâve been muted by them, and thus they will never respond, but based on the number of likes I get, I definitely get the feeling they arenât popular with the community very much.

I thought i replied to the main post, did it say i replied to you? TheBattlizer had a similar issue i think, probably some bug 11.
No, it didnât say you replied to me, I just mixed up ingame and the forums, because the mute buttons are in a similar place for each, and your post was directly below mine, so I assumed it might be regarding my post. My mistake.

wow, no wonder you want other people to deal with toxicity.
even if you were right that it has been part of the âgaming communityâ forever, that wouldnât mean we should tolerate it

Thereâs a trumpet or horn or something icon next to each player. Press it to mute them.
